'FOOLED YA'
Lady Gaga denies romance with Bradley Cooper and says they ‘did a good job’ convincing Oscars viewers they are in love
The 32-year-old has denied they are in love and insists the pair faked it for the performance
LADY Gaga has denied there's any romance between her and Bradley Cooper on last night's Jimmy Kimmel Live after their steamy duet at the Oscars.
The singer, 32, told the chat show host that the pair were acting out a love story and "did a good job fooling the audience" following the global speculation about their relationship.

She said: "First of all, social media, quite frankly, is the toilet of the internet and what it's done to pop culture is abysmal.
"People saw love and, guess what, that's what we wanted to you to see. This is a love song. The movie, 'A Star Is Born', it's a love story.
"From a performance perspective, it was so important to both of us that we were connected the entire time. When you're singing love songs, that's how you want people to feel.
"I'm an artist. I guess we did a good job. Fooled ya!"

It comes after the A-list duo cosied up behind a piano on the Dolby Theater stage on Sunday night while singing their award-winning song Shallow.
Gaga recently split from her fiance Christian Carino, 50, while Bradley, 44, is in a relationship with supermodel Irina Shayk, 32, who he has a daughter with.
The Sun revealed earlier this week that the Russian beauty is getting sick of the stories about his 'close' relationship with Gaga.
The couple's relationship is now "incredibly tense" after the A Star Is Born co-stars lit up the stage with their incredible chemistry.

A source exclusively told The Sun Online: "The stories about Irina being sick of Gaga have some truth to them – it’s not that she dislikes Gaga or is jealous of her, but she’s sick of the constant stories about her ‘close’ relationship to Bradley.
"She’s no stranger to cheating rumours – she dated Cristiano Ronaldo after all – but it’s been a long publicity campaign and she’s ready for it to end.
"She’s actually thrilled at how successful the movie has been and really wanted to go to the Oscars.
"It’s undeniable that Gaga and Bradley have chemistry – they have a lot more in common that Irina and Bradley – but that’s why the movie worked."

The source continued: "When they’re onstage together, they seem to fall back into the characters.
"Irina’s tired, the constant awards appearances have made things tense and she’s ready to have Bradley back full time – but it’s not going to break them."
Bradley began his relationship with Irina in 2015. The couple welcomed daughter Lea De Seine in 2017.
