Boy George Questions Lady Gaga's 'Occasional' Cocaine Habit

August 11, 2010
Boy George Questions Lady Gaga's 'Occasional' Cocaine HabitBoy George has questioned Lady Gaga's admission that she is an “occasional” cocaine user.

In a recent Vanity Fair profile, the singer said she used the drug “maybe a couple of times a year”, but warned her fans not to take it.

However, Boy George – a recovering addict – said there was “no reason” for Lady Gaga to talk about the subject and that it seemed “out of character”.

“If Lady Gaga were about to be exposed as a drug user I would understand her recent confession to Vanity Fair that she is an 'occasional' coke sniffer,” he wrote in a blog for Paper magazine.

“But why offer up this information on a whim? Could it be that her use of coke is not so 'occasional'?”

He added: “My mum had the best take on this 'she's reached the stage where she feels untouchable, you all get there -- you did, son'. I can't argue with that!

“One has to wonder how much of a grip Gaga has on things. Up until now she has seemed almost annoyingly professional and focused and this seems out of character!

"Isn't saying your an 'occasional' drug taker a bit like saying you're bisexual? That usually means you're raving!”

Lady Gaga is currently on the North American leg of her Monster Ball world tour.
