Internationally celebrated for her wildly original performances, Lady Gaga may have a wildly unoriginal habit: going hungry to look good onstage. A new biography penned by Maureen Callahan, 'Poker Face: The Rise and Rise of Lady Gaga,' reveals startling claims about the seemingly confident singer, according to RadarOnline.
Gaga's former tour manager, David Ciemny, alleges in the book that the 24-year-old binged on junk food when not depriving herself of calories altogether. And he claims that in 2009 alone

Back in March, fans fretted about her health when she nearly collapsed onstage, seemingly exhausted. And in April, the pop star's rep denied that Gaga was on a bizarre baby-food diet, after rumors circulated that she was subsisting on the small jars of pureed food -- rumors that sounded crazy to some

Wendy Starland, who helped discover the unknown New York City musician Stefani Germanotta before she became Lady Gaga, is also quoted in the new tell-all

Today, after millions in record sales, Gaga's success seems to hinge on promoting a very non-conformist, in-your-face persona: she's rebellious, audacious, and according to Time magazine, very influential. Her image isn't all she is, though; her intense connection to her fans is legendary, and she clearly yearns to inspire them.
But what would be truly inspiring is if Gaga found a way to be whatever size is healthiest for her, because she could help her little monsters do the same. If all this talk of dangerous dieting is true, it simply begs the question: Are Lady Gaga's provocative looks and even more provocative comments -- about drugs, her vagina's creativity, prayers to become insane, you name it -- really smoke-screens for a young woman who's so starving for fame and acceptance that she's actually just...starving?
