SOURCELady GaGa insists she was born to be a star.
The New York-native - who stormed the charts with her recent single Just Dance - is adamant she was destined to be famous.
She says, "Some people are just born stars. You either have it or you haven’t, and I was definitely born one.
"Even as a kid I always had eyes on me, like bees on honey. I was always outrageous and I was always very smart."
"I have a strong sense of my own sexuality," she adds. "I love the naked human body and I have huge body confidence.
"I was working in strip clubs when I was 18. Girls from my background weren't meant to turn into someone like me. I come from a wealthy Italian family, went to a good school.
"You're meant to live with Mom and Dad until they die. I went against all I was brought up to be; I moved out of home, wouldn't take any help from my parents and supported myself with waitressing jobs and stripping.
"My act was pretty wild. I'd wear black leather and dance to Black Sabbath, Guns N' Roses and Faith No More. Very rock 'n' roll."
