Lady Gaga compares 'Born This Way' tracks to drugs

Lady Gaga has compared some of the tracks on ‘Born This Way’ to drugs.

While discussing the eclectic sound of her forthcoming record, the singer said her first single was like the drug ‘cannabis’ compared to the ‘heroin’ - a much stronger and more dangerous drug - of some of the other tracks.

“I, in jest, say that ‘Born This Way’ is the marijuana to the heroins of the album, the ultimate intense intoxication of the record. It''s an analogy,” Contactmusic quoted her, as telling Billboard.com.

“On the album there''s not an incredible amount of breadth and eccentricity. It''s quite eclectic. It ranges from ‘Born This Way’ being very light to the rest of the album becoming quite darker,” she added.

Miley Cyrus jokes about GaGa egg arrival

Miley Cyrus has said that she appreciated Lady GaGa's entrance at the Grammy Awards.

The 'Born This Way' star was carried down the red carpet on Sunday night encased inside a giant egg, which she later 'hatched' from during her performance.

"Next time I'm coming in on an egg. It's a real show-stopper! I want to do it!" joked Cyrus on the official Grammys telecast on YouTube.

"I like it because it's about who you are. I like that about her. She always does something totally outrageous because that's what GaGa is. You go!"

Other celebrities who reacted to GaGa's egg arrival on Twitter included E! host Giuliana Rancic, who explained to followers: "Lady GaGa is in the womb. She is inside and isn't born yet. She's incubating!!! No joke!"

Piers Morgan tweeted: "Think I might host tomorrow's @PiersTonight in same outfit that @ladygaga wore to #Grammys. #eggstraordinary", while Bachelorette star Ali Fedotowsky quipped: "She cracks me up!"

GaGa picked up three awards at the annual ceremony.

Lady GaGa 'to earn $100m in 2011'

Lady GaGa could earn more than $100m (£63m) by the end of the year, according to Forbes.

The financial publication says that GaGa's current tour could help her pass the $100m mark in 2011. Her tour grossed $133m in 2010.

The popstar plays to crowds of 14,000 on average and makes close to $2m gross per show. She nets nearly $800,000 a gig after security costs, promoter fees and other expenses.

The 'Poker Face' singer is scheduled to play 41 more concerts in large venues, which could earn her about $33m.

GaGa's next LP Born This Way arrives in stores this June. Album sales combined with another tour to support the record, merchandise sales and appearances would be enough to make her the year’s top-earning musician.

"We’re only seeing the beginning," said entertainment attorney Bernie Resnick, adding that GaGa is "just hitting her stride artistically and commercially now".
