Rumors Lady Gaga Has Stopped Eating Carry No Weight

Here’s a troubling Lady Gaga story we’re happy to report comes up empty.

A post on E! Online claims “the Hollywood pressure is really starting to take its toll” on Gaga, and that people are supposedly “on her… to lose weight.”

It was the video shoot for “Paparazzi” last spring that allegedly first triggered conversation about Gaga’s body, when, according to the site’s “eyewitness,” producers had to do “everything they could to hide [Gaga’s] not-so-flattering areas.”

The story goes on to claim, “The negative comments by onlookers were so harsh that the usually confident Gaga has become so self-conscious that she’s practically stopped eating altogether,” with one “knowledgeable pal” telling E!, “She just isn’t eating.”

Needless to say, Gossip Cop was deeply disturbed by the idea that unrealistic body expectations and external pressure would drive anyone — especially the proudly unconventional Gaga — to starve herself.

Fortunately, it is not the case.

A source very close to the performer assures Gossip Cop the rumors Lady Gaga was told to lose weight are “not true at all.”

Looking as fit, confident, and vibrant as ever, Gaga opened the Grammys last Sunday.
