In London to promote the new MAC Viva Glam lipstick, Lady Gaga said: "I, for myself, make the choice to be single at this point in my life because I don't have the time to get to know anybody. And you know what? It's OK. Even Lady Gaga can be celibate."
Her comments reveal a refreshing attitude amidst the bed-hopping celebrities so often adorning the tabloid front pages. The 23-year-old went on: "If you can't get to know somebody, you shouldn't be having sex with them."
The Viva Glam From Our Lips campaign forms part of MAC's regular contribution to HIV and Aids charities and, as well as encouraging regular testing, Gaga was quick to blame the lack of sex education for a rise in those catching the virus.
