The Born This Way Ball Tour in Seoul, South Korea

“A source” says Gaga’s new dude Taylor Kinney is not too stoked on her inability to separate her real, everyday self from the character she plays. “Gaga started living and breathing her character 24/7 because she felt her fan wanted that,” berkata the source. This hews pretty closely to the gripes voiced oleh Gaga herself (dressed in drag as Jo Calderone) at the VMAs this past fall: “I want her to be real, but she says Jo, I’m not real. I’m theater! And anda and I…this is just rehearsal.”

I can see how this would be annoying for someone who cares not just about the made-up character...
