In Touch Exclusive Photos:
Lady Gaga's shocking college days!

LadyGaga0804.jpg Lady Gaga may be the biggest music star in the world right now, but five years ago she was just a regular 18-year-old named Stefani Germanotta, studying for exams at New York University, hanging out with friends and watching football games. “She looked so different then,” a close friend of Gaga’s tells In Touch exclusively. “She went for more of a tan, sex-bomb look with long curly dark hair.” And forget the sparkles, glitter and crazy headdresses. “She mainly wore jeans and T-shirts,” says her friend.

According to the friend, Gaga was also a hit with the boys, and always had her pick of the litter. “She was super sexy and had a really attractive personality,” the friend says, adding that she met men wherever she went, in both her classes and in clubs. “She knew how to get guys.” And aside from skinny-dipping with friends during spring break in Puerto Rico, life was pretty tame, explains her friend. “We just cooked a lot for other people on the floor, and went to dorm parties just like everyone else.” She even ate like a college student. “We would hit up Starbucks, and once, for a Super Bowl party, she brought about two pounds of buffalo wings.” Gaga dropped out of NYU after one year and would go on to sell out stadiums. But while she was a coed, she was there to learn. “She always did all of her homework and was a fantastic student. She cared about her work and would dedicate herself when she had to write a paper,” says her friend.

Demi Moore: Rock Bottom
It could have been a happy night for Demi Moore — a chance to put the most painful and humiliating period of her life behind her, even if just for a few hours. But while Demi had been nominated for a Directors Guild award for co-directing the Lifetime special Five, she spent the January 28 ceremony in hiding as she coped with the fallout from a drug incident that landed her in the hospital five days earlier. “She’s literally hiding in shame over how far she has fallen,” a pal shares.

Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie On The Rocks?
Could Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. be the next in a long list of celebrity couples heading for divorce? Although their rep denies the story, the duo, who have managed to remain largely out of the spotlight throughout their relationship, raised eyebrows recently when Sarah, 34, walked the Golden Globes red carpet solo — and without her enormous diamond engagement ring.

Tabatha Coffey’s Tough Love
“Look, I know it’s like boot camp when I come in,” says Tabatha Takes Over star Tabatha Coffey with a twinkle in her eye and a smile so broad that fans of her hit show might not even recognize her. The Bravo star admits with a giggle that channeling her inner drill sergeant is often the only way to get the job done.

Seal’s Ex: Don’t Take Him Back
The song that Seal chose for his performance on a recent episode of Ellen — Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” — seemed specifically designed to make his estranged wife, Heidi Klum, reconsider her decision to end their marriage. While Seal may have good reason to endear himself to Heidi — who has legions of fans and pulled in a whopping $20 million last year — former supermodel Tatjana Patitz, 45, maintains that the singer is a selfish, immature man who is prone to frightening rages. “He is not a nice person,” Tatjana, who dated Seal for nearly a year, tells In Touch.
