On the cover: Lady Gaga


Lady Gaga flashes a peace sign -- and a little bit of skin -- in her new photoshoot for the September issue of Vanity Fair.

Photographed by Nick Knight, the Alejandro singer dons only a long grey wig.

Gaga tells the mag she tries not to have too much sex, for fear it will sap her creative energy.

“I have this weird thing that if I sleep with someone they’re going to take my creativity from me through my vagina," she says.

So. Yeah . . .

In other news, Gaga also opens up to VF about her drug use.

"I won't lie; it's occasional. And when I say occasional, I mean maybe a couple of times a year. But if you print that, I do not want my fans to emulate that. I don't want them to think they have to be that way to be great."
