Kerli and Lady GaGa - Vespertine, Tom Munro/Elle
Estonian pop princess Kerli made quite a name for herself on the gossip blog circuit with one tiny status update on her Myspace page yesterday that ripped into international superstar Lady GaGa. “It’s kinda f*cking funny that Lady Gaga ALSO has yellow hair now,” Kerli, who is currently sporting yellow locks, wrote. “I wish she would f*cking stop ripping off everything I do. F*cking b*tch.”
As GaGa’s little monsters began spewing venom of their own in Kerli’s direction, the “Walking On Air” singer removed the status and took to her Kyte channel to express her regret over the uncharacteristically vicious post and offer her apologies. “I feel awful right now,” she said in the chat, that ran over an hour long. “I wish I wouldn’t have done it. I don’t want anyone to think I have anything bad to say about her [Lady GaGa] because I’ve always said that she’s awesome at what she does, and I’ve been watching her career long before anybody knew who she was and met her long before anybody knew who she was.”
She went further to explain what set her off in the first place. “This morning I was reading the news and I saw that Lady GaGa also had yellow hair,” she said. “I’ve been doing so much to not look anything like her and I feel like everything I do she’ll do two weeks later.
“I’m starting my next album cycle and I’m trying to look different so I don’t get these comparisons, right. But it’s like every time I do something different and I post a picture up on Myspace, she’s also looking the same way within two week’s time.”
She continued: “Obviously I’m not competing for number one hits and I’ve never really said anything in a pissed off kinda way because I didn’t want to be that person who like was nobody and then was screaming, you know, when somebody else was standing on top of the mountain and ruling the world, but this morning I was like I know she knows who I am and I’m good friends with some of the members of her team and, you know what, it’s just a little much that I’m trying so hard not to look anything like her and she’ll just end up looking like me anyway.”
“I just lost it for a second and I called her a bitch. It was really immature of me and I should have kept it to myself ’cause I know the world would take it completely the wrong way.”
She reiterated these sentiments a couple more times before moving on to talk about her new album in the works, the follow-up to 2008’s Love Is Dead, which she says is due in the first half of 2010.
Later in the chat, she thanked her fans for their support and added, “I really f*cked up this morning, but you know I’m right. I’m not crazy. I haven’t said anything for the longest time. All of her fans are trashing me all over my videos on YouTube so I might as well f*cking say something.”
