News Flash: Is Gaga Celibate?

Lady Gaga recently started touting celibacy—a shock considering her lyrics about disco-stick-riding—but she's not the only celebrity who's jumped on that particular bandwagon. The Daily Beast lists 14, some of whom will surprise you:

Jessica Simpson: Back when she was championing abstinence as a pop starlet, who would have guessed Simpson would one day be John Mayer's "sexual napalm"?

The Jonas Brothers: The teen idols vowed abstinence until marriage—so now-married (and closeted) Kevin is, one assumes, no longer celibate.

Paris Hilton: The sex tape star decided to stay celibate for a year in 2006, and claimed at the same time she'd slept with only two men.

Lenny Kravitz: The rocker gave up sex during a recent tour, and told Maxim in 2008 he'd been celibate for three years.

Morrissey: The lead singer of The Smiths became the voice of asexuality and celibacy in the 1980s. “Morrissey doesn’t participate in sex at the moment and hasn’t done so for a while,” former bandmate Johnny Marr told Record Mirror. “He’s had a lot of girlfriends in the past and quite a few men friends. The rest of the band, however, are all sex maniacs.

Stephen Fry: England’s modern-day Renaissance man, Stephen Fry, had acted, written, directed, and dipped his toe in almost every aspect of the glamorous industry—except one. As a young British boarding-school student, Fry had a short-lived aspiration of joining the church, but “his marathon 16-year spell of sexual abstinence that lasted until the mid-1990s was entirely secular.

Carol Channing: If anyone can understand the definition of a dry spell, it’s Broadway legend Carol Channing and her third husband, manager, and publicist Charles Lowe, who spent decades in an essentially sexless marriage. When she filed to legally separate from then 86-year-old Lowe in 1999, Channing said in divorce papers that the two only slept together “once or twice in our 41-year marriage and that was 41 years ago!

Colin Farrell: The bad boy made headlines in 2009 for swearing off women, but he soon went on to have a baby with Alicja Bachleda-Curus.
