I am a traditional girl, declares Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga is best known for her kinky outfits and on-stage antics, but the popstar claims that she is a traditional girl who wants a husband and a family.

The flamboyant singer insisted that she is "quite the lady" in a new interview with Q magazine, which sees the pop star posing topless on the cover.

The 23-year-old singer, posed in little but a pair of spiky trousers and metal chains around her neck in the new issue of Q magazine, reported Daily Mail online.

"Well, I believe in certain institutions: cooking, serving dinner, taking care of my family. So I consider myself quite the lady," she said.

The Poker Face star who regularly flashes flesh on stage, admitted she had many emotional battles with her record label over her individual style.

"My image was an issue at my record label. I fought for months and cried at meetings. I got criticised for being arrogant because if you're sure of yourself as a woman they say you're bad whereas if you're a man it's normal," she said.

This was the interview where the Grammy winner famously broke down in tears. Gaga's exhaustion, which led to a concert being cancelled in Indiana, was already in evidence during the interview.

Cuba's world-famous cigar festival closes in Havana

Sunday, February 28, 2010 HAVANA: Hundreds of wealthy merchants and cigar aficionados from all parts of the world gathered in Havana this week to bid high stakes for humidors full of premium cigars. Cuba's annual Habanos festival ended on Friday night with an auction of ornate humidors of cedar and mahogany stacked with hand-rolled stogies that raised 800,000 euros ($1.09 million dollars). Habanos S.A. executives this month said cigar sales fell 8 percent to $360 million in 2009, so they have created the Julieta, a smaller, milder version of the Romeo y Julieta cigar, aimed specifically at female smokers. Women now make up only 5 to 10 percent of customers for Habanos. But even with the creation of the Julieta, Garcia said Habanos has only modest hopes for 2010 sales, due largely to a weak economy in Spain, the biggest market for Cuban cigars.
