In case you missed this morning's Oprah show, Lady Gaga was in the hot seat. She revealed that she's a "wannabe foodie" and that Winfrey thoughtfully had Art Smith, her former personal chef turned TV chef-superstar in his own right (and a svelter one these days, we might add), cook her the breakfast o' champions: chicken and waffles.

WINFREY: So tell me, what would people be most surprised to know about you?
GAGA: Most surprised to know about me. Oh, okay. I can tell you.
WINFREY: Okay.
GAGA: Oprah had a surprise for me. She had Art Smith, a chef, come and cook
for me today, this morning. And I'm the hugest fan and secretly a
wannabe-foodie and I love to cook. So that's something that people don't
know. I'm such a huge fan. He made me chicken and waffles this morning.
WINFREY: Chicken and waffles. I came in the kitchen this morning. There is
fried chicken everywhere.
GAGA: Everywhere, it was amazing.
WINFREY: And I said, you were eating--have you eaten fried chicken already
this morning?
GAGA: Yes. But it was so--I mean, I always have very trying weeks in terms
of my physical schedule. Sometimes when I wake up in the morning, I'm just
like, oh, gosh, I need to find my soul and he just gave me some soul this
morning. I said I've got soul for Oprah today.
WINFREY: Thank you, Art. Art Smith made breakfast for Gaga.
