Lada Gaga reveals to Elle magazine for the cover story in their January issue, that she tries to play down her sexuality against the advise of the "geniuses" at her label. She tells the magazine, "My album covers are not sexual at all, which was an issue at my record label. I fought for months, and I cried at meetings. They didn't think the photos were commercial enough…The last thing a young woman needs is another picture of a sexy pop star writhing in sand, covered in grease, touching herself."
She covers a host of other topics including a recurring theme in her music, "I feel that if I can show my demise artistically to the public, I can somehow cure my own legend. I can show you so you're not looking for it. I'm dying for you on domestic television—here's what it looks like, so no one has to wonder." - read more and see photos from Lady Gaga's cover shoot
