Lady Gaga has gone and Tweeted a photo of herself sans make-up. "Shock me shock me shock me with that deviant behavior! Can this gal get any edgier? To be a young 25-years-old and dare to go without make-up, it's so brave, and not a little bit derivative of Snooki. But does it really count if you're puckering up your lips, positioning the camera at a flattering angle, and sticking a flower in your hair?
Tomorrow the Gaga will turn 26-years-old, and she seems to be taking it all in stride, albeit with a touch of quarter-life crisis. You see, the superstar has been laying low lately, and recently told Oprah: "Other than this interview, I do not intend to speak to anyone for a very long time." No make-up, a vow of silence... we're guessing her next album will feature Tibetan monks.
