Star: Lorde is a ‘total diva & hypocrite, she’s obsessed with her looks’

[Honey]

I’m not sure if we’ve ever gotten around to using these photos of Lorde at the ARIA Awards in Australia in December. I’m really sorry that I don’t remember these pics at all, because they made me laugh. I actually like Lorde – I think she’s talented and interesting and I like that young girls have a “different” kind of pop star to choose from. That being said, Lorde is completely and utterly typical of a certain teenage stereotype: the goth intellectual teenager. In case you think I’m shading her, let me admit: I laughed at these photos because I think I had this exact outfit in high school and I often wore it TO SCHOOL. And I probably walked around in this outfit, carrying my copies of Sylvia Plath’s Collected Poems and JD Salinger’s Franny & Zooey. And when I got home, I listened to Jane’s Addiction and I was so pleased with how “deep” I was and how I was so much smarter and cooler than everyone else. That’s where Lorde is right now. It’s a phase. A really funny phase. And yes, she’s going to be embarrassed about some of this stuff ten years from now.

But for now, little Lorde is all of 17 and she’s super-deep and that’s fine. Now we know she’s really “arrived” because Star Mag has a “Lorde is such a diva!” story.

Singer Lorde is living up to her name, sources tell Star. “She’s a total diva! She feels she’s so deep and everyone else is just shallow and oversexed,” snipes a source close to her. “But yet she’s obsessed with her looks, always fussing with her hair and eyeliner– she’s a total hypocrite!”
She also made a few enemies on the set of her video for her latest hit.
“She put the hair and makeup people through hell and treated the crew terribly… she would hardly even acknowledge them when they spoke to her.”

Cele|bitchy | Star: Lorde is a ‘total diva & hypocrite, she’s obsessed with her looks’

Eh, sounds like typical teen behavior to me, which is/will be magnified with the sudden fame...

[MsDark]

Wait a minute.... Isn't she like, 17? Sounds kind of normal to me.

[Kathie_Moffett]

Sigh. For once, I have to give Celebitchy credit for an excellent assessment.

Also, wouldn't Lorde and Rooney Mara be quite a pair someday?

[Brookie]

If she's obsessed with her looks, why does she look like THAT?

[yowzers]

She seems pretty sweet and normal to me, I read an interview by her recently and it was really cute. The fashion blogger Tavi Gevinson interviewed her for her rookie magazine and they sounded like two normal teenagers

She seems sweet to me too. I hope she has a long career ahead of her.

This is truly trying to create a story out of nothing.

[sluce]

So there....

[lucianodel]

If she cared, she would work on her posture first. Neck problems at 17 or is her head too heavy?

[BITTER]

She looks like she's auditioning for a remade of The Nun's Story.

[GRuser1]

Apparently, both Lorde and the person who wrote this Star Magazine article are 17 years old girls...

[MissVenus]

I think she's awesome! The article writer needs some help though... perhaps a little deep-thinking wouldn't hurt her!

[coolade]

She looks like she's in her 40's.

[Palermo]

Why did she look like she was being electrocuted on the grammies last night? Was that supposed to be dancing of some sort
