Recently, Lady Gaga bought a ghost-hunting kit with which to perform a "spirit-sweep" of a venue. Oh, Jesus. Lady Gaga is so eccentric! We now present our definitive catalogue of her most unnecessary quirks.

  • "I've gone bankrupt about four times now." Maybe she needs to cut back on the ghost-hunting equipment?
  • Lady Gaga's tattoo of a quote from German writer (her "favorite philosopher") Rainer Maria Rilke:
  • In the deepest hour of the night, confess to yourself that you would die if you were forbidden to write. And look deep into your heart where it spreads its roots, the answer, and ask yourself, must I write?'

  • (To be fair, Rilke did once wear a rhinestone-studded Hannibal Lecter mask to a Hamburg literary salon in 1913.)
  • Haus of Gaga. Still unclear what the hell this is.
  • "Pop stars should not eat."
  • "I don't know if this is too much for your magazine, but I can actually mentally give myself an orgasm."
  • Which is good, because Lady Gaga is celibate, and thinks her fans should be too.

Whew.
