1)  Is Lady Gaga a manufactured personality boosting her fame off of Madonna and other stars?

2)  Is it possible for one to lose her creativity through their her vagina?

3)  Is sex dead?

I shall address question #1.

I for one do not think Lady Gaga is a completely manufactured personality.  I do think she is weird, very weird in fact.  While some of the crazy things she does, and all of the clothes she wears may indeed seem manufactured, I don't believe they are.  Obviously her crazy clothes and antics help bring in the paparazzi, and ultimately, the money, but like I said earlier, Lady Gaga is weird.  I feel like she would be doing these things and wearing these crazy clothes even if she weren't famous.  When it comes to the issue of whether or not she is just borrowing, or actually stealing from Madonna, in order to advance her own musical career, I once again am feeling the urge to disagree with the author.  Now just because I am disagreeing with the author does not mean I like Lady Gaga, in fact, I cannot stand the sight of her.  When I hear someone say that Lady Gaga is stealing from Madonna, I want to ask that person, how?  From what I can see, the only similarities the two women have is that they are both blonde, female pop stars who wear crazy outfits.  To a certain extent, one could say that every famous musician has stolen either material, style, or personality from another musician who came before.  I mean, honestly, take The Beatles for example.  Without their contributions to the world of rock and roll, we would not have the music we have today.  Now unless one is saying that everyone is copying The Beatles, how could one say that Lady Gaga is boosting her fame off of Madonna?  Maybe I just don't know enough about Lady Gaga, or Madonna, for that matter, but this article seemed just a little far-fetched to me.
