PEOPLE acquired and posted the exclusive photos yesterday of Lady Gaga kissing her new boyfriend, Dan Horton, a sound engineer. There’s no doubt that this is romantic, these kisses are romantic. And also… it’s not like they were hiding. They were out for lunch, not inside but outside. By now, you know, Gaga has antenna for the paps. You can’t convince me that she wouldn’t have been aware.

According to ET, Gaga’s gone public with Dan because she wants to kill Jackson + Ally IRL for good.

GOOD.

Like, stop it already. For months people have been trying to rumour Gaga with Bradley Cooper. And for months, if you’ve been visiting this site regularly, I’ve been trying to tell you that that is bullsh-t. It’s not that I don’t want them to be together, as if that were up to me, it’s that continuing with something that is so obviously bad gossip is actually Bad for Gossip. Nobody is here for bad gossip. It undermines our crusade!

As for Gaga and Dan, ET says it’s relatively new but clearly it’s intense:

"Gaga has real chemistry with Dan," a source close to Gaga tells ET. "They have been seeing each other for weeks and have been working with each other for a while. They have been working on new music, have spent hours of work time together and became really close."

"They're working very closely together at a home studio in Hollywood, and sparks just started flying," the source adds. "People noticed the chemistry early on, and now that she has taken some time to herself, she finally feels free to date. They seem like a pretty good match."

Here’s what his ex has to say about it:


Speaking of exes though, forget about Bradley Cooper…

WHAT ABOUT JEREMY RENNER?!
