Gaga's food tweet causes backlash

Lady Gaga's tweet has sparked controversy on Twitter

Lady Gaga has provoked controversy among her millions of Twitter followers after writing that "pop singers don't eat".

The Telephone singer was accused of promoting a negative message and encouraging eating disorders after posting the message following a trip to the gym.

Gaga wrote: "Just killed back to back spin classes. Eating a salad dreaming of a cheeseburger #PopSingersDontEat #IWasBornThisWay."

But followers hit out at the star's words, with one writing: "I'm stunned that you would promote such an unhealthy attitude towards food to your fans when you claim to be so righteous."

Another stated: "Why would you even promote a message like that? Disgusting that you'd joke about such a serious illness."

Others, however, supported the star. One fan tweeted: "But it's so true... our society likes to see fit bodies... it's not healthy I know but it's just the truth."

Gaga, meanwhile, is set to jet off to Korea to perform at Seoul's Olympic Stadium later this month.

The eccentric star has also announced dates at London's Twickenham Stadium on September 8 this year and at Manchester Arena on September 11.

Your Horoscopes by Russell Grant

Gemini:

You never do anything in moderation. Attend every fun party, accept every juicy offer and try all the delectable treats spread before you. Avoid unpleasant people and activities like the plague. This should be a time of enjoyment. Leave your list of chores at home. You can always attend to these jobs at another time. If you have a chance to show your creative work to a publisher, manager or agent, go ahead. This is also a great opportunity to go on job interviews, auditions and first dates.More
