"A police officer told me to put my ass up against the fence because I was not appropriately attired to be seen by children"

Excerpts from the Lady Gaga profile in the Sunday Post:

Lady Gaga sums up her life in eight words: "I am a self-made New York hustler."

Born in Yonkers, she cut her teeth in Manhattan clubs like the Mercury Lounge and Bitter End, and spent time toiling behind the pop curtain writing tunes for the likes of Britney Spears, New Kids on the Block and the Pussy Cat Dolls.

And!

"I was wearing very short hot pants and a police officer told me to put my ass up against the fence because I was not appropriately attired to be seen by children. I told him I was an artist, but he didn't care. Where I come from they were just normal hot pants, but in Chicago they were indecent."
