London,
(ANI):
Pop
star
Lady
Gaga
was
hospitalized
six
times
last
year
because
of
her
yo-yo
dieting,
claimed
the
star"s
ex-tour
manager.
The
claims
emerged
in
new
book
Poker
Face:
The
Rise
and
Rise
of
Lady
GaGa,
by
Maureen
Callahan.
David
Ciemny
said
the
sick
chart-topper
went
on
crash
diets
after
gorging
on
crisps
and
cupcakes.
And
she
once
lost
20LBS
between
the
first
and
final
fitting
of
one
of
her
outrageous
outfits.
GaGa
reportedly
admitted
she
had
not
eaten
for
weeks
so
she
could
squeeze
into
the
gear.
"When
I
say
she
was
sick,
I
mean
physically
and
mentally," the
Sun
quoted
Ciemny
as
saying.
Ciemny
also
claimed
GaGa
sacked
150
staff
members
during
his
18-month
stint
as
her
tour
manager
in
2008
and
2009.
He
said
she
did
not
think
they
were
up
to
scratch,
adding:
"Everything
had
to
be
perfect."
GaGa
caused
a
storm
last
month
when
she
admitted
she
occasionally
used
cocaine,
claiming
it
helped
her
creativity.
