Nude Lady Gaga reveals all on bad romance

Eccentric "Bad Romance" songstress Lady Gaga says she has an "inability to know what happiness feels like with a man," in typically outspoken comments accompanying a nude magazine photospread.

Gaga posed for a series of trademark Annie Leibovitz pictures on the cover and inside pages of the latest edition of Vanity Fair -- including one shot of her naked, being painted by veteran croonerTony Bennett.

"I have never felt truly cherished by a lover. I have an inability to know what happiness feels like with a man," she told the magazine, suggesting she might be destined to be a single Lady forever.

And she added: "I say this honestly, and this is my new thing as of the past year: when I fight with someone I'm in a relationship with, I think, 'What would my fans think if they knew this was happening?'

"How would they feel about my work and about me as a female if they knew I was allowing this to go on?' And then I get out," she said.

Gaga -- who was due to appear Wednesday night at the annual Grammys nomination show in Los Angeles -- appears in a lavish red two-piece and over-sized hat on the front of the magazine.

Inside pictures include her washing furs in a laundromat, eating at a hot dog stand dressed in a vast golden dress -- and a shot of her naked, posing on a rug with her back arched for Bennett, in an artist's studio.

She says her relationships tend to follow a same destructive pattern, especially if her partner is as creative as she is.

"It starts out good," she says. "Then when I'm in these relationships with people who are also creative, or creative in their own way, what happens is the attraction is initially there and it's all unicorns and rainbows.

"And then they hate me... If I go to the piano and write a quick song and play it back, they are angry with how fast and effortless it is. That's who I am, and I don't apologize for it."

She added that sometimes she feels she is destined to be lonely. "I had a man say to me, 'You will die alone in a house bigger than you know, with all your money and hit records, and you will die alone'."

Lady Gaga's 'Marry The Night' Video Will Be 'Perfect'

Little Monsters outside the new Gaga window displays at Barneys tell us what they expect from the clip, which debuts Thursday (December 1).

Have you RSVP'd for Lady Gaga's wedding yet? On Thursday (December 1), Gaga will make it official with all things nighttime when she premieres her self-directed video for her track "Marry the Night." Shot in Gaga's hometown of New York City in October, previews have shown that in Gaga's world, anything can happen, including vintage-feeling trips to the psych ward and "Fame"-esque dance numbers.

When MTV News caught up with some of Gaga's Little Monsters outside of Barneys in New York City, they weighed in on what they thought might go down in Mother Monster's latest video.

"I had some inside info ... lots of explosions, lots of hair, lots of makeup, lots of symbolism, lots of Gaga," Catherine Lloyd dished. "It's gonna be perfect."

Kyle Larkins has no doubt that the video will be all Gaga all the time. "I have no idea what to expect from the 'Marry the Night' video. It's Gaga," he said. "She's crazy in all wonderful ways, so I'm looking forward to see what she's going to come up with." "My expectations are that it's going to be over-the-top," Alisa Lopez added. "She derives most of her inspiration from, well, her videographical inspiration — from Michael Jackson's videos, Madonna's videos — so I'm expecting it'll be longer than 10 minutes."

While no one but Gaga knows what will happen in the video until it drops,Vanity Fair was on set during filming, and Gaga described it as "autobiographical," adding that she's "getting ready to relive the worst day of my life" in the clip. Shot on the day when Gaga was wheeled through a hospital on a gurney, she added that "it's chaotic and sad. But I don't want it to be safe." The scene reportedly is based on a situation in her real life.

Fan Amy Guerra made this guess about the video: "I'm expecting Gaga to reveal some stuff that we don't know about her. ... I am really excited to see it because I'm a big fan of her and I know she'll just meet my expectations."
