Lady GaGa: I'm here to cause a ruckus'

The video for 'Judas' premiered last night, and depicts GaGa as biblical character Mary Magdalene stuck in a love triangle with both Jesus and Judas, who are portrayed by Rick Gonzalez and Norman Reedus respectively.
"I believe I was put on this earth to cause a ruckus," GaGa told E! News when asked about the heavily criticised video.
"At the beginning when I came out with 'Just Dance' I couldn't get an interview, I couldn't get on the radio," GaGa explained. "I just want to keep making stuff that's great and thought-provoking."
GaGa downplayed claims that the video is religiously offensive, insisting that it was just a way for her to express her interest in religious art.
"In my opinion, the only controversial thing about this video is that I'm wearing Christian Lacroix and Chanel in the same frame," GaGa joked. "The video is not meant to be an attack on religion, I respect and love everyone's beliefs."

Loved her first album but am so bored of Brand Gaga now, it's tedious and getting very predictable.

Funny. Just Dance was when I *liked* her and it was about fun music instead of being a walking publicity stunt attention *****...which isn't even that interesting since Madonna's already done it.

She couldn't get interviews with Just Dance because, such an amazing song is usually behind a one hit wonder artist. If she enjoys causing controversy, good for her. However why use things from religion and the devil and put constant hints into satanism throughout every one of her videos? Beautiful talented woman none the less.
