Lady Gaga: ‘I've had my ass out since 2007’

Pop sensation Lady Gaga has revealed that her mother, Cynthia, was really upset when she got her nose pierced and she couldn't understand why because that seemed like such an insignificant thing in light of other things she has done throughout her career to date.

Speaking to Graham Norton in the UK recently, Gaga explained that it was ridiculous that her mother was disappointed with the piercing because she's often naked on the cover of magazines, which is more of a reason to be upset:

"Isn't that ridiculous, of all the things I did, that when I got my nose pierced she was like, 'I don't understand why you had to get your nose pierced.' I said: 'Mom, really? I'm naked on every magazine.' But, you know, I've been naked since the beginning. I've had my ass out since 2007."

Gaga, meanwhile, posted a picture to Instagram and addressed the subject of what's considered to be beautiful, telling her fans not to fall prey to society's ridiculous standards:

"A true Venus is beautiful at any size. #BodyRevolution Don't allow Society to tell you what beauty is. back when they first made painting and sculptors of the goddess she was represented as a round and fertile woman. It was in style to be thicker because food was a sign of money. Eat up children. Life is too short."
