Lady Gaga Rages Against The Hack Machine as New Single 'Applause' Linked to The Internet

Lady Gaga may do the whole pop music thing, but she's putting the "monster" in Mother Monster when addressing hackers and leakers leading up to her new album "ARTPOP." A short clip of the forthcoming single "Applause" got online on Saturday, and Gaga was not about this.

"Lord, in HEAVEN WHY?" she tweeted. "YOU JUST COULDN'T WAIT THIS IS TOO MUCH FOR ONE SATURDAY."

She reached out to Katy Perry, a fellow pop star and victim to singles being leaked prematurely, looking to team up against the violators. Perry's album "ROAR" also experienced a leak over the weekend.

"Wanna grab some shovels and f--- up some hackers?" she typed, before showing sympathy to Perry's promotional gold semi, which was struck by a drunk driver last week. "Excited to hear your ROAR, sorry to hear about your truck!" Perry has been more easygoing about the leaks and even the truck, but she doesn't seem as neurotic as Gaga either. Gaga's ARTPOP tirade began on Friday when she deemed it "not acceptable" for people to use mere computer speakers when listening to the album.

"Oh, & just a suggestion... use HEADPHONES when listening to the new music, ARTPOP is ELECTRONIC CANDY & DELISH ON THE EARS," she typed, adding a follow-up. "THE SPEAKERS ON YOUR COMPUTER are NOT ACCEPTABLE, unless you like hearing music underwater. I do not."

"ARTPOP" is set to release on November 11, while the official release of "Applause" is August 19.
