Lady GaGa has revealed the inspiration behind the video for her single Paparazzi — the late Princess Diana.

The singer, real name Stefani Germanotta, said the reference point for the clip, nominated for an MTV Video Music Award (VMA), was the tragic former royal.

“Diana was the most iconic martyr of fame,” said GaGa. “She died because of it.”

GaGa recently revealed that since becoming famous, men have started to find her sexy.

“I do get men trying to pick me up and it’s funny because a year ago, when I was dressing like this, with a very avant-garde fashion sense, I think I intimidated men much more,” she said.

“It was funny the other day when I was wearing my cone head and this radio DJ was saying: ‘Oh you’re so sexy’, when the mic was off. I thought: ‘I can’t believe that after a whole year, they finally think my cone head is sexy.’

“It’s funny. A year ago it wasn’t sexy, it was classed as weird.”
