Lady Gaga Talks 'Alejandro,' Michael Jackson Collabo & More On Larry King

By Simone Hilliard

Lady Gaga sat down with Larry King in an interview that airs Tuesday (June 1) to discuss her career, rumors surrounding a Michael Jackson collaboration that never reached fruition, her family's history with lupus, and her highly anticipated video for "Alejandro."

Gaga was even nice enough to let her little monsters know exactly when they can catch the "Alejandro" preview.  She tweeted:

"ATTENTION LITTLE MONSTERS: ALEJANDRO PREVIEWS BEGIN 2NITE STARTING 9PM ET/6PM PT ON CNN LARRY KING, THEN 9:30 EXCLUSIVE ON PEREZ, 9:35 VEVO X ."

During the interview, Gaga unveiled the truth about her MJ collabo, but not without hesitation:

"You know, it's always very difficult because I don't necessarily like to talk about those very personal things that happened. I guess I can speak about it now. I was actually asked to open for Michael on his tour. We were going to open for him at the O2."

"And we were working on making it happen. And I suppose there was some talk about the openers doing some duets with Michael onstage. But Michael's death was devastating for me regardless of whether I was supposed to go on tour with him. He's such an inspiration and remarkable human being. I guess ... some of my fascination with death and the demise of the celebrity goes along with me watching these hugely iconic and amazing people that I have heralded and admired become destroyed, whether self-destroyed or destroyed by the media."

On her recent lupus testing, she continued:

"Lupus is in my family and it's genetic, and it's funny 'cause my mother told me the other day that my fans were quite worried about me because I did talk about the fact that I was tested for lupus. And the truth is I don't show any signs, any symptoms of lupus, but I have tested borderline positive for the disease. So as of right now, I don't have it. But I do have to take good care of myself."
