Lady Gaga Delayed On Having Kids Due To Tony Benett

In the new issue of Parade, Lady Gaga expresses how spending time with her new "co-worker" and jazz legend, Tony Bennett, has influenced her decision of whether or not she wants to have kids sooner or later. She'd rather just sing.

"I thought I did [want kid's immediately], because I was feeling kind of finished with all of the chaos of my life," the "Poker Face" singer tells Parade. "But then I started to spend a lot more time with Tony, and everything just became simpler, more pure, and more perfect. Now I think I'm going to take a lot more time before I have kids and settle down. I just want to sing."

Bennett and Gaga have collaborated on a new album, Cheek to Cheek, to be released on Sept. 19. The album consists of jazz standards by popular jazz composers like George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Jerome Kern and Irving Berlin.

Gaga has a burning love for jazz as was shown when she lashed out at the talkative crowds during a performance at Harper's Bazaar New York Fashion Week party. "Will you f-king shut up," she yelled. "We're playing some jazz. Goddamn rich people."

Oh how we love Lady Gaga!

The two music icons collaborated on more then just music, they also collaborated on tattoos. Gaga gushed on how the two now have matching trumpet tattoo's after she found out he wanted one as well! "So we got matching tattoos and then we walked to the Lower East Side to watch these metal bands play. I was laughing because everybody was saying, 'Oh, Lady Gaga's hanging out with her old friends. She still goes to the places she once played' I thought, if they only knew. Those are the only places I hang out. I don't go to modern nightclubs or celebrity parties. That's not me at all."

We definitely dig her old-school feel.

Gaga explained that she really hopes this album will help young people realize more then celebrity headlines and gossip. "You can listen to timeless, beautiful music that's honest and authentic."
