Lady Gaga shows off new chopped hair at Chateau Marmont: cute or tired?

Lady Gaga

I’ll be perfectly honest here and admit that even though Lady Gaga has shown herself to be a total monster in her treatment of employees, my heart still went out to her when she was sidelined from touring due to a hip injury. Then when the news arrived that Gaga was having surgery for what turned out to be a labral tear, I winced in empathetic pain for her. I’ve had my own bout with hip and groin pain over the past few months, and there was a time my doctor mentioned the possibility of a labral tear and brought me to tears because that prospect is so scary and requires surgery to correct. Luckily, I just have a good old fashioned muscle tear, and the recovery is still slow going, but I am pulling hard for Gaga to recover fully so she can return to her old obnoxious self in a few months.

Lately, all we’ve seen is Gaga being carted around in gold-plated and Louis Vuitton wheelchairs, but these photos show her getting out on the town a bit for a late night session at Chateau Marmont. Because even when she’s injured, Gaga still feels the need to be seen. Gaga has a new chopped hairdo too! I’m assuming that once she feels better, the extensions and wigs will be back in full force, but I think this new hair makes her look very vulnerable. Also, Gaga looks rather wasted, or perhaps that’s the effect of the painkillers.

    It looks like a wig to me. I can see where it’s attached.

    • Nemesis says:

      I agree. If you look closely you can see that the skin about a half inch down from the hair line looks wrong.

    • A says:

      Yup, definitely a wig.

    • Camille (TheOriginal) says:

      My first thought was that it looked like a wig too.
      She should chop her hair off in this style though, she has the face to carry it off.

  2. Sandy says:

    Why all that powder??

    • wiffie says:

      I can kind of get on board with the hair, and kind of like it… But the Lindsay Lohan blush lines? Just bad. It’s how old ladies do their make up when they don’t know any better. And it “looks good” from one angle, never from the side.

    • Annette says:

      It’s the SPF in the foundation causing her face to have a white cast in the photo. And the ten layers of powder on top of that!

    • marie says:

      no idea, that was the first thing I noticed, it looks bad..

    • Hakura says:

      I think it must be common for people to over-do it with powder, maybe under the impression that it’s thinner than it is so applying layer upon layer of it.

      Most end up reminding me of mimes…

    I can’t tell if she is trying to look sexy or is just completely out of it. Either way these pics make me uncomfy.

  4. V4Real says:

    cute or tired? TIRED and so is Gaga;

  5. andy says:

    Now this bitch is stealing Donatella Versace’s look.

  6. nancypants says:

    I’m really not seeing a wig.
    I think that’s her real hair heavily bleached and chopped.

    We’ve barely heard of her much lately and I think it’s because she’s been ill and in pain and a LOT of women chop their hair when they have bigger things going on.

    Her fingernails look like hell.
    She hasn’t even been keeping up with basic manicures.

    I’m not a fan and I think those gazillion dollar wheelchairs were freakin’ ridiculous but I think she’s ill and is probably afraid that her last 15 minutes are up AND she’s young.

  7. RobN says:

    Everything she does is tired.

  8. gg says:

    Obviously surgery isn’t to be taken on a whim, but honestly, I and at least half my friends and relatives have had numerous bone, hip, tendon, etc. surgery, repair, replacements, etc. It’s done every day and it’s not that big of a deal! You just do it, you feel better and you move on! She’s been a major whiner about this.

    I don’t think she’s in so much pain. She is probably in massive angst and withdrawal because she can’t stand not working, and I think that’s her real problem, not the surgery.

    • teehee says:

      Some people don’t know what difficulty is. They only know the simple and shielded lives they’ve lived and have no concept of how hard life can really be….

    • Hakura says:

      Withdrawal is a good point I didn’t think about. Not just the withdrawal from performing & the public eye, but probably various substances that would now be off-limits (could combine horribly with pain meds she’s likely using), plus the upcoming surgery.

      It’ll be interesting to see what she’s like in withdrawal, probably a different person xD

      • gg says:

        Isn’t this surgery done already? Never saw such a huge to-do over a relatively simple procedure that stretched out for months and months. cheeze.

    • Beatriz says:

      Ya, I agree with you. Also, I saw photos of her not too long ago where she left the gym to do yoga IN HEELS.

      So she can’t be in THAT much pain.

    • Emily ski says:

      My boyfriend had this surgery about a month ago and is a healthy 24 year old otherwise. It isnt to be taken lightly. The aftermath really takes a toll on his energy, self esteem, and mood. It’s hard to go from a world tour to barley moving and trying to prevent long term injury after a major surgery. He has 3 more months of rehabilitation. I can’t imagine her restrictions

    Weed whacker special..

  10. Jayna says:

    Her blown-up lips are awful.

  11. phlyfiremama says:

    She looks like she is in a great deal of pain~sometimes painkillers aren’t enough to really effectively deal with pain. Is that Tara Reid driving??!!

  12. Lady Satan says:

    She looks exhausted.

    Don’t forget, she also has Lupus and any stress to the immune system (like surgery) can cause an auto-immune system disease to flare up.

    I’m far from her biggest fan, but I do hope she’s doing OK and resting enough to let her body heal.

    • Zoid says:

      Pretty sure she doesn’t have lupus, for the record. I seem to recall that being incorrect info from way back?

  13. Grace says:

    I can’t stand her, but the haircut is really cute and flattering on her face, and she’s gotten really good plastic surgery. I would love her surgeon’s number (and the thousands of dollars he probably charges).

  14. lylaooo says:

    aggh…this woman looks like she haven´t meet the shower! i cant stand her… i feel sorry for the boyfriend-fiance he´s hot…

  15. TheOneAndOnly says:

    She never was that good except in pr; here’s a radical thought: maybe if she spent as much time trying to make actually decent music, instead of all these pr stunts, her 15 minutes wouldn’t be winding down; Who’s going to listen to her in 20/30 yrs. Hell, People, Hell and Angels a posthumous Jimi Hendrix release came out in March and went to No.1 on billboard, Dead for 43 yrs. and he still has a huge worldwide following; this trick will be lucky if she makes it to VH1’s where are they now.

  16. kim says:

    Her makeup looks like an 8th grade girl from a small midwest town that smokes marbs and steals from rite aid did it.

  17. Mourning the Death of Music says:

    It looks as if it would feel like straw.

  18. Laurie says:

    When it comes to Gaga, I ‘ve come to assum everything is a publicity stunt, everything has a (money-making) angle, every photo is a pose and her entire existence is choreographed, save for those rare moments in which no camera or recording device is present. Yes, some of her tunes are catchy; most are like deja vu for anyone over 40. I find nothing genuine or original about this woman and am baffled by those who think she is. Avant garde has been done before.

  19. F5 says:

    She looks about 50..

  20. emma says:

    I think she looks GREAT with this hair. She probably drank with her painkillers or something. But the hair looks nice.

  21. Kristine says:

    Bleh shes always been nasty.

  22. Madpoe says:

    Sorry. She looks like she’s barely escaped an explosion in a factory of baby powder.

  23. Mikunda says:

    this hair is too shiny, her hair is very thin. Also her hands, my oh my. She is def on something.
