Housekeeper Outs Lady Gaga’s “Satanic Ritual”

Did Lady Gaga perform a "Satanic ritual" in a London hotel?

Every good star needs a few salacious rumors to solidify their place in the hallowed halls of the best celebrity gossip. Stevie Nicks had the cocaine up the ass thing, Led Zeppelin had that whole incident with a fish, Richard Gere had a gerbil, and to this day, some people still believe that Marilyn Manson was that dork from The Wonder Years. Well, no stranger to weird rumors, Lady Gaga can chalk another one up after recently leaving a hotel bathroom a blood-drenched mess.

In an article since deleted by The Independent, a housekeeper for London’s Intercontinental Hotel reported that the pop singer was “bathing in blood as part of a Satanic ritual,” going on to say that she left “large amounts of blood” in the hotel bath.

“Lady Gaga left large amounts of blood in the suite during a stay this summer. The incident was reported to the concierge, who was told to put it out of her mind.”

While many people maintain that the substance is actually theatrical blood used during one of Gaga’s elaborately staged shows, this doesn’t hush the few who are convinced that the singer is actually a mind-controlled murder-slave of the secret world order collectively known as the Illuminati and was probably using the blood of sacrificed virgins to maintain her youth. No, really.

So, prop blood or Satanic ritual? Is Gaga a tool of the NWO? Why was the story pulled? Whatever the case, the real question is whether or not Satan would even bother with Lady Gaga when Slayer has a new album due out this year.
