With all of the hubbub surrounding her movie A Star is Born, you might have forgotten that Lady Gaga is heading to Las Vegas for a residency at the Park Theater. In advance of the kick-off on December 28, Gaga spoke with the Las Vegas Review-Journal. All Gaga revealed about her upcoming Sin City shows was that she was “very excited,” leaving the rest of the chat devoted to her upcoming movie. In addition to once again gushing over director and co-star Bradley Cooper, here’s what else she had to say:
Is she reading the reviews? “I’m not reading the reviews. I just feel very honored to be with these tremendously talented, kind and loving human beings (whom) I’m happy to call my friends now.”
On the perils of fame: “Fame is very unnatural. We see Jack (played by Cooper) struggling in the film. There is substance abuse and trauma. Ally also suffered from depression at the beginning of the film and had to deal with not believing in herself. I think it’s important that we guide artists and take care of them on a psychological level as they begin to rise because everything changes. The truth is, people think we change as people. It’s not us that changes. It’s everyone around us that changes.”
On dealing with change: “We should be more careful with the human spirit — not just for the artist — but for everyone. Intervene early. Teach people about compassion. Teach people about kindness. Teach people how to reach out and be there for someone even when they don’t even know that they’re sad. It might be so deep that they can’t even pinpoint it. It’s really important.”
A sweet story about her dad: “I remember sitting at the piano as a child writing music. My dad would be on the couch. He would listen and tap along. He would shout, “Yeah! That’s a good lyric! That’s a good melody! You got this! Is that the chorus? Yeah! That should be the chorus!” When I was very young, that encouragement was like nourishment.”
Will she act again? I’m looking for roles that will blast me to outer space. For me, it has to be a special project. It has to be good work.

Way to keep those rumors swirling, Gaga! As for all the money she’s made while on tour, Lady G tells Stern:
- “I really don’t give a fuck about money at all. The Monster Ball was really expensive and the next show will be really expensive and I will pay for it.”
