Lady Gaga has revealed that she quit drugs after her dad caught her doing some in his house. The 25-year-old pop superstar is very open about having abused drugs while trying to find herself as a struggling musician playing in New York clubs. "I just was partying and being very self-indulgent and trying to find myself," she told fashion icon Jean Paul Gaultier in a TV interview. "And in hindsight it's so dangerous - I really don't encourage anyone to follow that path," she said. But it was the embarrassment of her family finding out in a very dramatic way that made her quit drugs on the spot. "I actually was doing drugs in my parents' house one day and they didn't know I was in the bathroom," she recalled. "And I came out and my father could tell. And I just remember feeling so embarrassed and I quit instantly. "I care so much what my father thinks. I'm very old-fashioned Italian in that way. It was pretty instant." She insists she does not miss her drug years. "Over the years I've realised that the joy and euphoria I experience in the relationship with my fans is so much greater than any drug could be," she insisted.

Get The Look: VMA Winners
As a music lover, I definitely take outfit inspiration from my favourite pop stars.
The Beyonces, the Gagas and the Rihannas have all inspired my fashion
choices (especially before a night out) so I was thrilled to see some of
these fashionistas honoured at the VMAs on Sunday.
Each video that won was crazier than the next
and the wheels in my fashion-brain started turning:
how could I take inspiration from the looks in these videos
without looking like a total freak on the streets?
I decided to use Polyvore to come up with some
outfits inspired by all the videos of female winners at the
2011 VMAs that wouldn’t overwhelm the masses with fashion craziness.
Best Pop Video:
Britney Spears - Till The World Ends
The Inspiration:
The Look:
This video is ALL about torn clothes, visible bras and glamourous edge
but such skimpy clothes aren’t exactly street-appropriate.
Enter: Skinny jeans! I had to incorporate a studded
leather jacket some how because it was the standout piece in the video.
Britney also sports a sheer top and lots of red sparkly accents
so I added some killer glitter heels (Wizard of Oz, anyone?)
and red and silver bangles.
Best Hip-Hop Video:
Nicki Minaj - Super Bass
The Inspiration:
The Look:
Nicki Minaj seemingly can’t go anywhere without something pink on.
Be it her hair, her outfit, her shoes, or her accessories (or all of the above)
she’s always wearing it! This is the perfect summer daytime outfit.
Nicki is wearing the coolest Doc Martens in the video during her group
dance number so I had to include some stylish Docs in the outfit.
Also, if you’re feeling crazy, feel free to dye your hair her signature
color (Manic Panic is temporary!).
Best Female Video:
Lady Gaga - Born This Way
The Inspiration:
The Look:
For most of the video Gaga is wearing underwear so I had to pick and choose.
My favourite scene is the one where LG is in full skeleton makeup and a tuxedo
dancing around Zombie Boy (whose face is permanently skeleton’d thanks to tattoos!).
Most girls wouldn’t wear a full tuxedo, um, ever, so I had to make this look work
while still keeping it fun. That’s where the bowtie necklace comes in.
How cute is it?! This is a fun outfit for a night on the town
or a dinner date with your man.
Best Choreography:
Beyonce - Run The World (Girls)
The Inspiration:
The Look:
The fashion in this video is straight up insane.
I couldn’t come up with direct copy-cat looks
because all Beyonce wears is haute-couture
and anything knockoff often just ends up looking cheap.
For this look I took inspirations from the ~essence~ of the video:
strong, brave, fierce women. Naturally I gravitated toward animal print
and I had to add the furry vest because it’s the best piece in the video.
Don’t forget the geometric gold earrings and cranberry-red wedge
shoes to stomp on anybody who challenges you.
Video of the Year:
Katy Perry - Firework
The Inspiration:
The Look:
This video isn’t exactly a hot bed for outfit inspiration,
it’s more about the message (“baby, you’re a firework” seems to be the message…)
but if you’re looking for an appropriate outfit for a fancy cocktail party
or a grown up art-gallery launch (that’s something that grown ups do, right?)
this video provides great ideas.
If this sparkly jacket doesn’t evoke fireworks,
then I don’t know what does. I added the purple nail polish
to reflect Katy’s pretty purple hair in the video.
The skirt reminds me of a ballerina!
SO what have we learned today? You can find outfit inspiration just
about anywhere but when in doubt look to powerful pop ladies! Also: glitter never fails.
[UPDATE: Male coworker complained about the lack of male fashion
so he took to Polyvore himself and made a look for…]
Best New Artist:
Tyler The Creator
The Inspiration:
The Look:
Is Tyler sponsored by Supreme? I’ve never seen him without that hat on.
I think he might be hiding some early baldness issues…ANYWAY!
I call this look skater-kid-chic because the shirt is a liiiiiiittle bit more
~haute~ than just a ratty old t-shirt. This guy definitely has
defined personal style. Don’t forget the tube socks!
-Enjoy, Cynthia!

Celebrity Gossip: Justin Bieber 'punks Taylor Swift' :o !
Justin Bieber reportedly used Taylor Swift's friendship with his girlfriend Selena Gomez to Punk the country singer. The 17-year-old has taken over from Ashton Kutcher as celebrity prankster on the MTV show, and is said to have lured Swift round to his beach pad by asking her to help him write a song for Gomez. A source told Hollywoodlife.com, "Justin called Taylor Swift and asked if she would come over to his beach house and help him write a song for Selena Gomez. Taylor agreed and even asked him to open for her at her show that night at the Staples Center." The Biebs then apparently convinced Swift to help him set off some fireworks in his backyard before making it look like they have actually set fire to a nearby boat where a wedding was taking place. Actors dressed for the occasion then swam up and accused Taylor of ruining their big day. "Taylor didn't start crying but was very freaked out and was like 'OMG I'm so sorry!' Justin was trying to downplay the situation. When he said she'd been punk'd she started laughing and said, 'How could you do this to me?!'" the source added.
