Lady Gaga gave a long address,

The last time Lady Gaga gave a long address, we stomached a lengthy, bizarre, extended metaphor about meat, the military and human rights that was tangentially related to the slab of sirloin she wore to the VMAs. Over Thanksgiving, the pop star kept the food in the kitchen, tweeting a photo of a Little Monster Casserole that presumably isn't made of actual Little Monsters (Ke$ha's the pop star who actually just released a disc called "Cannibal," after all) -- but she did find a way to make a speech.

At the Friday night stop of her Monster Ball tour in Poland, Gaga had a few new talking points: Her upcoming album, "Born This Way," is great. Actually, scratch that, it's epic ("I promise to give you the greatest album this decade, just for you"). And most interestingly, she's sick of seeing freak-flag-flying as a trend in pop culture.
