No, Lady Gaga does not have a penis

Does Lady Gaga have a penis? It is a question at the very heart of this dream we call America. The search for Gaga’s man part has been an internet preoccupation for years now, with countless YouTube clips offering smoking gun (as it were) evidence. Google “Lady Gaga penis” if you don’t believe me.

Gaga herself  took the rumor head on in her video for “Telephone,” dishing up pixelated shot of her bare crotch as she hangs on the bars of fa jail cell. “I told you she didn’t have a dick,” one of the guards quips.

But was the video proof? I mean, what with video editing technology, how do we know that Gaga wasn’t simply stripped of her member with dirty cutting room tricks.

Well, the London Times has sent a reporter to solve the case. Caitlin Moran got so close with Gaga on her assignment that the two women peed together in an VIP bathroom.

For the first year of her career, massive internet rumors claimed that Gaga was, in fact, a man–a rumor so strong that Oprah had to question her about it, when Gaga appeared on her show.

Perhaps uniquely among all the journalists in the world, I can now factually confirm that Lady Gaga does not have a penis. That rumor can, conclusively, die.

Well, “conclusively” might be a bit strong. As we all know by now, if you learn something on the internet, it probably isn’t true. Yet, how can we use that law given that word of Gaga’s penis, as well as the lack thereof both came to us via the electronic rumor machine?

    Like Lady Gaga, I have been called a man. I get my identity from INTERNALITY. I could care less what other limited individuals call me. People without INTERNAL meaning depend on what others think of them. I am a celebrity to myself. (Without the perks of the red capet, but instead of walking on the red carpet, the red carpet walks on the celebrities). If you try to be free from gender, race, religion or any social or cultural labels (limitations) you are called insane. At least I am unlimited in my insanity! I challenge ANYONE to try to make me emotionally defensive. Any “insults” you try to give me are given back to you. Anyone who says anything (good, bad or nuetral) about someone else is only practicing to communicate about others, they are really communicating about themself!

    About Me

    I've published two novels: The Secrets of the Camera Obscura (Chronicle Books), and The Third Eye (Nan A. Talese/Doubleday). I'm currently working as a journalist for AOL's Sphere. For the past three years I also spouted political opinion for AOL's Political Machine, which I also helped edit. My non-fiction has appeared in places like Men's Vogue, The Wall Street Journal Magazine, USA Today, Newsday, Travel + Leisure, GQ (Spain), and Vanity Fair (Italy). I've dabbled with short stories, publishing in Nerve and a few small journals.

    The other half of my split personality finds me playing a variety of instruments for a variety of bands, and writing songs for film soundtracks.
