Lady Gaga Bemoans Her Real Name In Glamour Magazine Cover Interview: Strangers Calling Her Stefanie Bothers The Mother Monster, Wants To Escape Her Past

Lady Gaga is the Glamour Magazine Cover, December 2013 issue!

Mother Monster has been named one of the Glamour Mag's Women of the Year 2013, along with Melinda Gates, Malala Yousafzai, Catherine Martin and others.

Wearing a metallic dress by Gucci, Lady Gaga looks graceful, charming and confident about what she believes in - world peace, end of bullying, recognition and acceptance for LGBT community and much more.

In the interview to Andy Cohen, Lady Gaga talked about her life and what are the things that inspire her, also shedding light on her given name. The initiator of Born This Way Foundation and five-time Grammy winner, Lady Gaga was born as Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta.

Her transformation involved letting go of things that tied her to her past, which also meant changing her name to Lady Gaga. Not that she does not like it, but only people close to her who are allowed to call her Stefanie.

"I'm both all the time. Gaga and Stefani are my nicknames. I guess when people meet me for the first time and call me Stefani, it bothers me. Because it's something that's reserved for only the people who are closest to me, said Lady Gaga.

She further added, "It's not because I don't like my given name; it's that I became somebody else. I became somebody else for a reason, you know. This is part of what my message is -- you can become whoever you want to be, to escape your past."

Battling with eating disorder since she was 15 years old, Lady Gaga also claimed she is not 'conventionally beautiful.' She explains this as, 'I'm not a supermodel. That's not what I do. What I do is music.'

And with this, she sends out the message, 'I want my fans to feel the way I do, to know what they have to offer is just as important, more important, than what's happening on the outside.'
