Lady Gaga And Cyndi Lauper Join Forces To Combat Hiv-Aids

By: Lauren Moraski

Lady Gaga and Cyndi Lauper have joined forces as the new faces of M-A-C Cosmetics'Viva Glam campaign, which helps raise money for people living with HIV-AIDS. The M-A-C AIDS Fund gets support from money raised from the sale of Viva Glam lipstick and lip gloss. Each artist will have her own shade of lipstick, and proceeds will go to AIDS charities.

The pair appeared on both ABC's Good Morning America and NBC's Today show on Wednesday (February 10th) to chat about the campaign, along with music, sex and life. Throughout all of her interviews, Gaga encouraged people to practice safe sex. She told Women's Wear Daily, "I come across in all my videos and all my music as this sexually empowered woman, but even I say no. Just because you are a sexual woman doesn't mean you are dumb."

Gaga says she has a "no condom, no sex" stance, explaining that if a guy doesn't want to wear a condom, then she won't sleep with him. Gaga added, "I don't want to be with a guy who feels like that. What does that say about who they've been with before? You have to be worried about yourself, because it can happen to you."

One viewer asked whether the two would ever consider doing a duet together. Lady Gaga sounded up for it, saying she would "in the spirit of fighting AIDS awareness."

Gaga also talked about how she grew up idolizing Lauper -- which nearly brought Lauper to tears. The "Bad Romance" singer said, "I'm sitting next to a woman I've admired my entire life, who's legendary as a fashion icon and as an artist who really, really changed music for women. We're speaking to you about a cause that affects women all over the world. I never knew that I would be allowed to have the responsibility that I have today."

Gaga opened up about how she's gained so much more confidence, admitting, "I was so insecure for so long, and my fans have believed in me so much that I have become this confident women that I want to funnel back to them,"

The Viva Glam Cyndi and Viva Glam Gaga lipsticks will be available March 18th and will retail for $14.
