Lady GaGa Superstar Lady Gaga was very determined to succeed as a pop singing star after an ex-boyfriend labeled her as a total complete failure. Lady Gaga has now dominated the music charts across the world since the release of her debut single "Just Dance" in 2008. She has had six Grammy Award nominations to date, winning two of the awards at last month's ceremony. Now the star say's it's all thanks, in part, to a bitter former lover. She tells Cosmopolitan magazine, "I had a boyfriend who told me I'd never succeed, never be nominated for a Grammy, never have a hit song, and that he hoped I'd fail. "I said to him, 'Someday, when we're not together, you won't be able to order a cup of coffee at the f**king deli without hearing or seeing me.'" Photo By: Rd/Leon/Retna
