I can’t help it, I still think Taylor Kinney is ridiculously attractive. He has the light eyes/dark hair combo that I love, plus his body is ah-mazing. So is it mean to wonder what he’s still doing with Lady Gaga? It’s not that I don’t believe Gaga is worthy of a good boyfriend, but I do wonder how in the world they’re still together. He seems like such a normal dude, and she’s… Gaga. All drama, all for her little monsters. Well, I guess we’re dusting off the breakup story every nine months or so, because here it is again:
Lady Gaga has been ‘dumped’ by boyfriend Taylor Kinney it has been reported The relationship between the 27-year-old singer and her actor beau has been ‘fizzling out for months’ due to the star’s ‘insane workload’ according to UK newspaper The Sun.
‘Taylor has told her she’s married to her career and he can’t deal with dating Gaga the megastar and all her obsessions and alter-egos,’ a source told the newspaper. ‘He loves the cool down-to-earth girl but hardly gets to see her. Gaga never stops working – she writes songs in the shower and dreams up new outfits in her sleep.’
Kinney, 32, is said to be frustrated at the lack of alone time he gets to spend with Gaga, who is constantly surrounded by several assistants and a security team. This means that the couple, who have not been pictured together since August, only get to spend an average of just one night a month together, the insider says.
Gaga has been busy working on her new album ARTPOP and performed her new single Dope on the YouTube Music Awards in New York City on Sunday night… Along with the death of her pet dog Alice last week and undergoing debilitating hip surgery back in February, the ‘heartbroken’ Gaga has had an especially tough year.
However, the source said that the singer, real name Stefani Germanotta, may yet work things out with her boyfriend of two years over the Thanksgiving holiday.
‘Gaga’s hoping to meet up with Taylor when their schedules allow to talk things through.,’ they said. ‘Taylor told her they need time apart and it’s looking as if this might lead to a permanent split.’
Gaga recently hinted that she may be having trouble balancing her successful pop career with maintaining a steady relationship in a series of tweets she posted about her new song I Wanna Be With You back in September.
‘#iwannabewithu is also about following my dreams but falling in love at the same time,’ she wrote. ‘#Wish I could have both, but i can’t on the road.’
It wouldn’t surprise if all or some of this was true. I also think it’s possible that Gaga and Taylor have broken up before, and that he sees other people, and that his relationship with Gaga is a lot looser than people think.
Also, Gaga has some new quotes about her ART. Ooooh, I know. Gaga needs to dump Taylor and get with James Franco. COME ON! That needs to happen. Anyway, Gaga on ART:
“How would I define ARTPOP? Well I’d define it in lots of different ways. On the album I say ‘we could belong together ARTPOP’, so in the simplest way I would say the dream of these two things belonging, art and pop together but with art in the front. We sort of like to say if we can belong together you and I, or me and my fans – if we can belong together in this room and make love then maybe our dream of these two things – art and pop- belonging together, maybe that could come true. So the intention of the album was to put art culture into pop music, a reverse of Warhol. Instead of putting pop onto the canvas, we wanted to put the art onto the soup can.”
Lord, she’s an idiot. Andy Warhol deconstructed all art, from paintings to films to music to fashion. Gaga thinks she’s unique or different from Warhol because she’s “putting art onto the soup can”? That was Warhol’s point though – the soup can is already art. It’s already iconography.

i cant blame anyone not wanting to put up with all that craziness.
even without all those antics i dont know how you could lead a relationship like that? maybe some people will start to learn that “wanting it all” wont work as long as humans need sleep and days only have 24 hours.
I think she got lost in her stage persona. So sad. Sooner or later they all believe the hype.
This!! I’m tired of her. She was fun at first, when she didn’t take herself so seriously, but now she’s become embarassing. If I was a him, I wouldn’t want to put up with all that hoopla either, and I’m sure her ego is out of control. No amount of money is worth being with someone who makes you miserable.
I’ve always wondered why they were together! He is cute and funny in interviews and she…. Well….
She is very rich and very insecure. To a certain type of man that combination is a powerful aphrodisiac!
can you elaborate? Why are people attracted to insecure people?
men can control them.. eddie cibrian anyone??
They are easier to manipulate.
easier to control/manipulate? wow that’s really bad! What’s the best way to avoid such a man?
Don’t date Eddie Cibrian, Carol 😉
The best way to avoid such a man is to find a good therapist who will teach you how to really, genuinely love yourself… to help you not believe your own self-degrading internal mantra probably adopted in youth. Avoid them by living in reality – even if it’s a little disappointing at first to find that it’s not a romantic novel with psychic, hunky, self-sacrificing men who will save you from the world – especially the drama thick world you may have become addicted too. 😛
GaGa has lost the power to shock. Her little costumes look ridiculous and are uninspired now.

He resembles that creepy guy on Grey’s Anatomy that is married to the 90210 chick. None of whose names I can remotely think of at the moment.
and sadly, I think I know each person to who you refer (I am not sure I know their names either)
Eric Dane & Rebecca Gayheart
Glad someone else said the bit about Warhol and iconography but I get Spitting Cobra Commander mad when she acts like it’s new and exciting. It’s pop music. It’s not ground breaking.
It must be exhausting to always be around a legend of her own mind. I wonder if she has someone on payroll giving her daily affirmations.
Gaga + Franco = epic level of douchery..
Planted story for the upcoming album release.
I call BS on the story. She’s been spending many nights here in Chicago while her TK is filming his TV show. She’s been spotted in several local watering holes just hanging out in a very low key way, no big entourage or drama.
I call BS on the story as well. He was interviewed on some TV show several weeks ago and he said the shirt he was wearing was actually GaGa’s . Someone commented that she did wear that same shirt as a dress while promoting her album in London. The Tattoo artist who inked her most recent tattoo said she called Taylor for approval before having it done. She’s always being spotted in Chicago.
I think he is so Hot.. Gaga is lucky. That “You and I” video..
“Andy Warhol deconstructed all art, from paintings to films to music to fashion. Gaga thinks she’s unique or different from Warhol because she’s “putting art onto the soup can”? That was Warhol’s point though – the soup can is already art. It’s already iconography. ”
She needs to stop talking about Warhol and art–like, forever. She clearly did not study art history, and is shows, to an embarrassing degree.
I’ve always suspected her and Kinney were a showmance, so this doesn’t surprise me in the least.
she studied fame @college or whatever she went too. all she knows is manipulation and fame, she talks like she’s worked @ Christie’s or something. her art prob comes from peir 1
You don’t even need to study art history to know she’s spewing rubbish. The only reason people aren’t calling her out on it everywhere is because most everyone (that follows her, anyway) is just as uncultured as she is.
I’m a very practical person, and have never really been able to “get” art the way other people do, and even I know that she knows f*%^-all about Warhol. Warhol’s whole point was that industrialisation and the resultant mass-production and the resultant rise of what we today now know as marketing gave birth to a whole new kind of art: soup cans and shampoo bottles and product jingles that are just as much a piece of art as anything Michelangelo or Beethoven ever created.
How does anyone in the West NOT know what Warhol was about, is my question?
I’m not familiar with Warhol’s work–I’ve seen the soup cans, the Marilyn Monroe, the Elizabeth Taylor pictures, but even I knew Gaga was full of shit, whatever she was talking about. I had no clue what her point was–it’s pop music. Talk about your lyrics or something–don’t compare your “art” to Warhol or anyone else like him. Let it speak for itself if it’s so iconic.
I think Gaga tends to take the populist stance on “art”.
I heard this curator on NPR the other day who was talking about how he didn’t think Banksy was art. He said it was way too “obvious”, there was no depth, it wasn’t skillful, it was trite, etc.
I think there are two camps: Gaga-types who think that as long as something was created with the intent to express, it is art. It doesn’t matter the skill level. A 3 year olds finger paint picture is as much as art as a masterwork.
Then there are the types like the curator from NPR, where they think that in order for something to be “art”, it has to break new ground, promote thoughtful discussion, be executed with a high level of skill, etc.
I think Gaga’s intent is to bridge the gap: to introduce the masses to modern artists (i.e. her use of Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, Marina Abramović, Robert Wilson, Koons) and encourage her flock to contribute. I think she misunderstands Warhol, and is trying to say that Warhol took a mass produced item like soup cans and made them high art. She is trying to take high art (Lamsweerde, etc) and put them in her mass produced music. I think her efforts are sincere, but it does expose cringeworthy misunderstandings of what came before her. Also, sincere doesn’t automatically equal great.
I don’t think her efforts have been that successful, I think she would be better off just having fun and not trying to convince the world (and herself) that she creates something more than entertainment. I am loving Do What U Want…and I think that was going to be a non-single throwaway track because it wasn’t “artsy” enough for her to release as a single (until people liked it, that is).
The middle ground between the two camps is “something created with intent, which intent is communicable to others through the creation”. If you intend to convey something with your creation, and you manage to do so, congrats! You’ve created “art.” Roger Ebert, for example, was a big fan of this kind of understanding of art.
The saddest/funniest part of this is that Lady Gaga’s music fails to meet even these criteria. Even Rihanna, Britney Spears, and Miley Cyrus fulfill the criteria!
They only spend one night a month together, yet he needs time apart. What’s the difference?
I will never understand what he sees in her.
I hope this is true; I could never be with someone whose head is permanently stuck up their ass.
She literally grosses me out.
I think there was just a photo of them together, so I don’t know how true it is they are broken up.
I don’t get them together at all. He is a hunk that is for sure.
I just think it would take so much energy to be with her; I would be utterly exhausted to spend any time with her. I don’t think she is larger than life but think she works so hard trying to be, she would absorb all the energy in the too.
There’s a picture and video of them making out at last night’s Youtube Music Award show thing. So I doubt this is true. Could be planted just for her album to be released.
Every time she opens her mouth, I hear the Grandpa in Princess Bride saying
“Yes, you’re very smart. Shut up.”
Doesn’t she realize that if Warhol were still alive, he’d have NOTHING to do with her?
This may be the best comment ever.
Oh sweet jesus, he is beeyootefull!!!!!
Hate to admit this, but I LOVE the shell umbrella!
I have disliked a lot of her recent stunt costumes… but I also REALLY like the shell umbrella too.
Why does everyone break up after 9 months?
He’s so gorgeous and I can never ever seem to get why they are together, what they have in common, etc. I like Gaga but I just can’t see this match working? The only way I can see it is that her ‘normal’ is in fact very normal. But they’ve been at it for awhile so something must be working for the two of them.
(As you gather I think this story is total BS)
Is she still lying about her hip surgery? Note to Gaga- if you’re gonna lie about having surgery, don’t walk around naked without any scars.
I had the same arthroscopic hip surgery as Lady Gaga, with the same surgeon. I have three barely noticeable dots of scar tissue on my thigh where the instruments were inserted. With makeup (such as Dermablend?) the scars would disappear completely.
How do you know who her doctor was?
I know someone who had hip surgery in May (I think Gaga had hers in February). The person I know is 30 years older than Gaga and was riding horses two months later. She has only a tiny scar that is about 3 inches long and would be easy to cover with makeup.
I don’t think the hip story is a lie. Her insurers/promoters would NEVER have let the tour cancel without a legitimate medical reason. (Big difference to have a tour cancelled and not postponed.)
Tiffany
They’d cancel the tour if it wasn’t making them any money. She’d been struggling to fill stadiums, even with 2-for-1 deals, even with giving them away at the entrance. That’s a lot of lost money, and it’s bad for her reputation. Gaga had to come up with an excuse or she’d be liable to recompense for risk, time, and money spent by the tour companies. It’s not difficult to find a doctor who will lie for you, especially not if you’re famous. I have serious doubts about the hip story.
This is FALSE! She was with Taylor LAST NIGHT. Please visit my blog for proof! They kissed and held hands and dope her single is dedicated to him! Sorry if you guys can’t take it when pretty boys choose personality over looks. Le sigh
Personality? He must be pretentious and annoying too.
This guy started dating Gaga when she was well into being LADY GAGA. He was in the video for You and I – so after she’d already gotten extra weird. So no, he’s probably not Captain Normal. And doesn’t he have a rep as a big cheat?
Ever since I realized he wasn’t the guy from Teen Wolf (don’t judge me) I’ve been disappointed, since the real Taylor Kinney isn’t nearly as attractive.
Oh, I have no doubt that he’s a little odd himself and enjoyed the crazy ride. But “less weird than Lady Gaga” is a pretty low bar, and I’m going to guess that even someone pretty unconventional would get tired of her shenanigans eventually.
Not true, I believe she was at the youtube awards last night and he was in the general vicinity. Anyways, there’s gifs floating around on tumblr of them being uber cute last night.

This woman is batshit crazy!!! She bought into her own hype and can’t live up to it. :o/
album/song of the decade!! BTW…meh.
album of the millennium? Doubting it.
i think dating lady gaga would be hott cuz it’s like having sex with a different girl everytime
This relationship is fake, he spends more time with Lauren German than Gaga, the day before of the Youtube Music Awards he went out with her. Gaga is lying and she is always talking about her boyfriend to hide the truth.
