Lady Gaga gets laid bare in the upcoming issue of Harper’s Bazaar in a supposedly makeup-free photo shoot that reveals her “natural” self. Natural except for the eye shadow, eyebrow bleach, lipstick, powder and wig she’s wearing, of course. The rest is all Gaga. The Daily Mail says:

Lady Gaga, 25, has stripped off the layers of foundation and modesty to talk candidly with Harper’s Bazaar about the person behind the costumes, while posing for a rare natural cover shot.

‘Whether I’m wearing lots of makeup or no makeup, I’m always the same person inside,’ said the singer.

Thank God for all the makeup. More makeup, I say. Keep that shit under wraps. I, for one, am glad we can’t see who she is on the inside. That’s where she keeps her shame and undescended testicles.

This new look is actually her latest persona “Nymph,” which she debuted in the first of five “fashion films” for “You And I” called “Haus Of U featuring Nymph” after the jump (no, seriously):

Earlier we learned about Beyonce’s new album, I Am…Sasha Fierce, but did you know that Sasha is also her on-stage alter-ego? Uh huh. Beyonce has reached that pinnacle of self-important diva-hood that her ego can no longer be contained in one body. Usa Magazine reports,

“I have someone else that takes over when it’s time for me to work,” she tells Reuters. “When I’m on stage, this alter ego that I’ve created kind of protects me and who I really am.”

She adds, “Sasha Fierce is the fun, more sensual, more aggressive, more outspoken side and more glamorous side that comes out when I’m working and when I’m on the stage.”
The singer, 27, has said there are “things I do when performing I would never do normally.”

As “Sasha,” she recently told October’s British Marie Claire, “I have out-of-body experiences. If I cut my leg, if I fall, I don’t even feel it. I’m so fearless, I’m not aware of my face or my body.”

Oookay, freakazoid. That might fall under the category of “Not to Share”. I also believe alter-ego is another word for “being high on psychotropic drugs”, but that’s totally speculation. I suggest testing her theory by throwing a nice roundhouse kick to the face the next time she feels fierce. Any takers?
