Glamourpuss 29,062 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I came across this article and some excellent points were made. https://www.stylist.co.uk/people/lady-gaga-christian-carino-bradley-cooper-star-is-born-romance-shipping-break-up-split-love/252574/amp A quick scroll through the social media comments underneath to Lady Gaga and Christian Carino’s split announcement paints a very worrying picture indeed… “Awaiting news that her and Bradley Cooper are OFFICIALLY IN LOVE!” one Facebook user commented underneath an announcement about the Gaga Carino split. “Get in there Bradley,” added another. “BET SHE GETS WITH BRADLEY!!!!” screeched one more. “Now all we need is Bradley to split with his fiancé and they can live happily ever after,” said one, adding a smiley covered in hearts to their comment. “Bradley Cooper be next to split from his partner, then boom!” added another. “New couple alert.” And still one more said: “Let’s see if Bradley leaves his baby for a bad romance…” But why do we REALLY need the Gaga/Cooper friendship to be more than it is? Life is not a cheap When Harry Met Sally knockoff: men and women can actually share a friendly conversation without falling into bed together. And, in the wake of the #MeToo movement, isn’t it more wonderful to hear about a working relationship based on mutual trust and respect? As pychotherapist Paul Hokemeyer notes: “In a world that’s become mired by sexual aggression, Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga’s deep respect and admiration for one another is refreshing and inspirational. “It proves that men and women can relate to each other as equals, vulnerable human beings who rely on one another for support as they grow into better, more evolved versions of their selves.” Exactly. And isn’t it better to believe that Gaga and Cooper value each other as individuals, rather than sex objects? There is more in the article and it is really worth a read. https://www.stylist.co.uk/people/lady-gaga-christian-carino-bradley-cooper-star-is-born-romance-shipping-break-up-split-love/252574/amp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glamourpuss 29,062 Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 The ****ing tea. I feel empowered reading this... (The following copied and pasted from the article...) Also, why do we care if Lady Gaga is single or not? It should go without saying there is so much more to Lady Gaga than any man she’s sharing a bed with. This is the very same Fame Monster who wore a dress made of actual f**king meat, just to make some sort of deep artistic point. Who brought four LGBT service members to the VMAs. Who invited rape victims on stage with her at the Oscars for her performance of Til It Happens To You. Who shared the raw struggle of her Fibromyalgia journey with the world. Who dropped $1000 on pizza for her fans. No, Gaga’s not some reality star who relies on her colourful personal life to make a buck: she’s an award-winning singer, songwriter and actress, too. Strike that: she’s a mother-f**king icon, for Christ’s sake! It’s genuinely depressing that we’re lumping her into the gross “who’s sleeping with who?” section of the fish-rag tabloids.

gag 22,449 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 The author made SEVERAL points. This is why the whole 'Jack Antonoff and Lorde are dating!!! Melodrama is about him!!!!" always bothered me... as if a man and a woman can't be close working partners without developing a romantic relationship. Not mention how heteronormative it is. headspin, happiness, DE̤̣A̢̯͔̘T͏͙̗̟̫H̗̙͡ͅ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That J 12,166 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 It's really a testament to how much the general public loved the film and the chemistry they had/have together. Its like Gaga/Bradley have their own fans as a team. However, this article makes a ton of sense and needed to be said.

Sid 6,755 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 LOL I'm sorry but what did anyone expect??People are just shipping their favorite movie couple, why does the internet take everything so seriously anymore it's not like anyone's holding them at gunpoint and forcing them to date 17 minutes ago, Glamourpuss said: It’s genuinely depressing that we’re lumping her into the gross “who’s sleeping with who?” section of the fish-rag tabloids. She's a celebrity, babe. She knew what she signed up for when she wrote an album called 'The Fame' the gp is gross and always will be, these tabloids aren't going away any time soon. I'm sure Gagz gives less of a **** about em than anyone else ...ıllıllı c h e r r y c h e r r y b o o m b o o m ıllıllı... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Gagz gives less of a **** about em than anyone else I didn't write it. I just copied and pasted from the article. But I feel it needed to be said about the fan comments because there is something disturbing about wanting a man to leave the mother of his baby. I'm not gonna lie, I'd love for Gaga and Bradley to get together but I also think about the fact he's got a child to make his priority above anything else, and I also think why can't a man and a woman just be friends and just two fellow artists inspiring each other.

Yes I agree haha! It's tragic and gross but they had to have expected the reaction Of course they'd be cute together - they have definitely realized this as well, and I'm sure they've shared lots of laughs about people's speculations. If they show up at the Oscars together its gonna be the biggest troll ever ...ıllıllı c h e r r y c h e r r y b o o m b o o m ıllıllı... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGMonster95 13,704 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I'm glad that there are publications out there that are not all about clicks with the Gaga and Bradley situation. Pretty much everything they said is a fact and Shallow on itself is literally exactly about communication between a man and a woman etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyVersace 9,027 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Tea tbh. I never once thought it was "weird" or "forced" how she praised Bradley. I never thought her speeches were too much or fake, I believe that she truly has a deep level of love and respect for him, as he did create this for her. She wouldn't have been able to play this role, create the art, or receive all the praise she has without him taking on this film. He changed her life, and she's just grateful. That being said, I can see there being more than a friendship unfortunately. I think it's probably hard not to fall in love when you're that committed to the role and the art, and shared that deep experience with someone else. I honestly don't want them to be together, as it kind of disproves this article, that two people can love each other without being IN love. We live in a culture that thrives on drama (see Jordyn vs. Kardashians, and how social media is living for the scandal). So I truly truly do not want this to play out the way people are hoping for it to. Spoiler but tbh it's kind of looking that way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miel 15,009 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 BIG facts. The projection is a little disconcerting. 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmac1162 164 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 that's the question can they just leave it on the VERY strong friendship tip or do they take it further. I must be honest I love them as a couple. I just don't see the same connection with Irina but what do I know. I'm just gonna enjoy their last performance together and see how it plays out.

Diamond heart99 5,262 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Love this. However I have to play devils advocate because...well I’m just the devil! It is possible that people who are rooting for Bradley and Gaga aren’t just a bunch of sex starved goblins. I think in this cynical smoking ball of sh!t planet we live on, people look for hope. Whatever they are, friends...intense friends...you can tell it’s 100 percent real. There is nothing fake about it, so don’t @ me. People respond to it in deep ways or anything genuine, because life is now a giant Instagram filter. I’m blonde, I’m skinny, I’m rich and I’m a little bit of a bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
