Anyone sick of Lady Gaga yet? Yes? Well, too bad. She’s not going anywhere. Her latest stop is on the cover of the January Vanity Fair, and inside the magazine she talks about a variety of things.

Gaga tells Contributing Editor Lisa Robinson that her fame has cost her an identity, explaining, “When I’m onstage, I’m so giving and so open and myself. And when the spotlight goes off, I don’t know quite what to do with myself.”

She also says that her passion for gay rights is inexhaustible and that her romantic relationships tend to end terribly.

The September issue of Vanity Fair features Jennifer Lopez (or is it J. Lo still? Or maybe Jenny from the block? We can’t keep up) on the cover and her fist interview since divorcing Marc Anthony. Lopez talks to Contributing Editor Lisa Robinson about those infamous “diva rumors” that have plagued her career and what prompted the end of her marriage:

To understand that a person is not good for you, or that that person is not treating you in the right way, or that he is not doing the right thing for himself—if I stay, then I am not doing the right thing for me. I love myself enough to walk away from that now.

Judging by the comments on Vanity Fair’s site – one person says “SHE HAS GIVEN ALL WOMEN THIS – ‘BE TRUE TO THYSELF’. MY RESPECTS TO HER FOR THIS MUST HAVE BEEN A VERY DIFFICULT DECISION” – readers are going to love this issue. Let’s just hope they don’t yell at everyone about it.

The magazine hits newsstands in L.A. and here tomorrow, and nationally on August 9.

The celebrity story for the new Vanity Fair – which hits newsstands this Thursday – is dedicated to Katy Perry, the eclectic pop musician. In the piece by Lisa Robinson, Perry delves into a variety of subjects, including life with husband Russell Brand (the press offered her “millions” for pictures of her wedding) and her odd upbringing.

When discussing the latter, Perry simply states, “I didn’t have a childhood.” Then, to prove that, she explains that she wasn’t allowed to say “Dirt Devil,” or “Deviled Eggs,” and the only book her mother ever read to her was the Bible. And just to cement the fact that Perry had an atypical young life, there’s a quote from her mother:

Perry’s mother confirms that she is proud of her daughter’s success, telling Robinson, ‘The Lord told us when I was pregnant with her that she would do this.’

Somehow we think the lord left out the whole I Kissed a Girl part when predicting Perry’s future successes.

To commemorate the passing of two American icons on the same day last month, Vanity Fair is producing two covers for its September issue.

The Michael Jackson cover, with the title “Fallen King,” features a 1989 Annie Leibowitz photo, while Farrah Fawcett‘s “Fallen Angel” cover shows the model and actress in her prime — in a 1976 photo by Bruce McBroom.

The related tribute articles were written by Lisa Robinson, who interviewed Jackson many times throughout his life, while Leslie Bennetts writes about Fawcett — a story she was working on long before the star’s death, WWD reports.

AMC show “Mad Men” was originally scheduled to be on the September cover, but they are now relegated to a story inside with a photo spread by Leibowitz, WWD said.
