Lady Gaga 'devastated' by Amy Winehouse death

Lady Gaga was so "devastated" by the death of Amy Winehouse she could not speak for two days.

"I am just so devastated and so sad and I really could not speak for 48 hours straight I was in such shock," said Gaga on The View TV show.

"The most unfortunate thing about it all is the way the media spins things, like 'Oh, here are the things we can learn from Amy's death'.

"I don't think Amy needed to learn any lessons, I felt the lesson was for the world to be kinder to the superstar. Everyone was so hard on her, and everything I knew about her was that she was a lovely and kind woman."

Gaga, 25, also insisted that she no longer did hard drugs but that she was still an occasional member of the pot-smoking "green club".
