Who's sorry now? Posing on the April cover of Cosmopolitan magazine, superstar Lady Gaga reveals that an old flame doubted her future fame.
Does Lady Gaga look better without makeup?
The 23 year-old (real name: Stefani Germonatta) reveals to the mag that an old flame doubted her. "I had a boyfriend who told me I'd never succeed, never be nominated for a Grammy, never have a hit song, and that he hoped I'd fail," she recounts. "I said to him, 'Someday, when we're not together, you won't be able to order a cup of coffee at the f***ing deli without hearing or seeing me.'"
Check out the crazy ensemble that got Gaga on a recent worst-dressed list!
In the interview, she adds that she "ate sh** for so long" trying to make it in the music business. "I've always been delusionally ambitious to the point where people don't understand me," she says.
Also notable in the Cosmo spread: she looks kinda normal! The singer -- who has stepped out in bizarre headgear, a translucent bubble dress, antique neck braces, spooky face masks and a latex body suit -- wears conventional lingerie on the cover and a little black dress inside.

With wavy blond hair and vampy makeup, the star looks more like a pinup model or Golden Era movie star than the wacky, "avant garde" pop star known to the public.
Tell Us: what do you think of Gaga's look?
Tell Us What You Think
36Too bad he wasn't right. Her ex had the right idea. Knew what a loser is she.
Don't you just want to look down on your ex and smile and laugh at him while saying........'Too bad you're not with me any more, YOU'RE LOSS!' HA HA!
I think no matter what she wears, she is always going to stand out as a very awesome, beautiful, independent and exciting actress / singer standing for the 2010's! Love you Lady Gaga!
Lol she's awesome. :)
She looks very much like Gwen Stefani or a 90's Madonna. I don't like her outragious attire, but at least it sets her apart. Otherwise she just becomes another fake blonde in music.
michelle, she did say she'd been eating s--t for longer than anyone else. she wasn't saying she's had it the worst or comparing herself to anyone else at all. she was just talking her own experience, and because she faced many obstacles for most of her music career, she really did eat s--t "for so long" because that was her perspective on her own life and experiences.
she looks better as a brunette i googled her pics as her real name ,.wow!! she looks so different ,.but i love her dark hair better on her ,.and less makeup ,.shes really pretty
she looks awesome.
Success is the "Sweetest Revenge".. Get um GaGa!!
Lady Gaga is my favorite transvestite.
Revenge is a dish best served cold. You go baby!
How come whenever a female dresses interestingly they are wacky and when a male does it, Elton John in his earlier career, Gene Simmons, Alice Cooper, it is not wacky but avant garde and admired?!?
who had a bigger dong, gaga or the ex?
I totally agree michelle!
I'll say it again...she looks like a blonde Amy Winehouse...
Lady GaGa ROCKS!! Thats all there is 2 it! Shes beautiful, talanted and sexy! She has it ALL!! Rock on Lady GaGa!
Lady Gaga is amazing.Love her.This guy sounds like a real jerk I bet he's sorry now as well he should be....You go girl!!!!Keep doing what you do best.
She looks great! He ex is jealous and never wanted her to be successful. Way to go!
I'd say this falls into the "How ya like me now?" category.
My ex told me the same thing and I now I own my own company. Thanks Gaga!!
