Can Lady Gaga handle the pressure?

During a recent Q Magazine photo shoot at London's Mayfair Hotel, the 23-year-old suddenly turned on the photographer, saying that they loathed the pics - in which they posed topless in a pair of spiked trousers - before bursting in to tears & threatening to quit unless her fella was allowed to take the shots.

Superstar Lady Gaga is beginning to crack under the pressure of fame, said Britain's the Mirror.

The singer - whose real name is Stefani Germanotta - apologised tearfully later, saying: "I'm not in a nice place right now."


The Grammy Award winner & singer of hits like Bad Romance & Poker Face is currently in Britain with her highly successful Monster Ball Tour.

The show has suffered a quantity of setbacks, including missing costumes & technical foul-ups when it opened last Thursday, reports said.

Last month, Gaga cancelled an Illinois show in the United States soon before they was to go onstage, having passed out.

"Paramedics came to take care of me, & told me my heart rate was irregular - a result of exhaustion & dehydration," they tweeted later.

They was said to be crying for hours after the cancellation.
