Away from the public eye, Lady Gaga secretly has sex on beaches and goes topless in bars. The kooky pop princess says she has ways of blowing off steam even while her every move is followed by photographers. “I’m a complete free spirit, so, even though you don’t see it, I still find time to have sex at night on the beach when no one’s around,” she says in Vogue’s September issue.

“Or roll into a bar and get [bleeped] up, and dance with my top off. It’s just that no one ever sees that, because I have great real friends who never let me do it when I would get caught.” When she’s not privately partying, she resides in her fantasy world. “I hate the truth so much that I would prefer a giant dose of bull[bleep] any day,” she says. Vogue interviewed Gaga in Japan where she says she finds her most ardent fans. “I think . . . it has to do with the obsession with fantasy,” she says of the country. “I think I sort of just fit right in over here.”
