Lady Gaga Cured Her Meat Dress 'Like Prosciutto'

Lady Gaga stopped by 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' recently and addressed the host's concerns for the state of her infamous 35 lb. meat dress. "We had to cure the meat dress," she explains. "What do you think happens to prosciutto?"

The eccentric pop diva also admitted to spontaneously fueling up on whiskey and starting "chain smoking and cooking pasta for everyone" when on tour. "I cook a lot," she brags. Her special dish? Traditional Italian red fennel gravy. Call the cigarette ashes "pepper." Wink wink.

Lady Gaga's fleshy 2010 MTV Video Music Awards outfit and attempted "I am not a piece of meat" statement was prepared for an exhibit in America's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum.

The museum paid California-based taxidermist Sergio Vigilato $6,000 up front to deconstruct, preserve and reconstruct the dress which had already started to rot and smell by the time it got it his studio.
