This is good advice for the world she travels in:
Lady Gaga believes celibacy is a good thing. The ‘Poker Face’ singer – who has previously admitted to being bisexual – suggests girls should save themselves for someone special. She said: “If you can’t get to know them, you shouldn’t have sex with them. It’s OK at this point, in this day and age, we have to grow up and we now know that we can’t be that free with love.
Look, anything that isn’t pointing and laughing falls into the role modeling category on this topic.

Another one to add to the “Not exactly a chastity poster child, but” is (apparently) Megan Fox.
I don’t have the exact quote, but she recently revealed in Harper’s magazine that she’s ‘only’ slept with 2 men (so far), both of whom she says she loved, and that she can’t even imagine sleeping with someone she didn’t love.

She seems reasonable to me. She rejected the outdated and restrictive ‘one partner per life,’ until-marriage model, but she avoids going to the opposite ‘slut’ extreme too, and finds a comfortable position in the middle.

Words and actions must be in accord for people to have any integrity. I really can’t take anything Lady Gaga says as good when her performances show the worst behaviour. So what if she talks about chastity? everything about her smells of a sexualization that is crass.

See, that’s the thing. Lady G may be crass, and there are things about her people absolutely loathe. But to take what she says apart from what she does is how I think of it. She sees the ideal, despite not attaining it. She recognized the lie of free love. Steps bringing attention to the fact that sex and committed love is linked and the first without the second makes no sense, is good. Even from Lady G. I’m always surprised when people dismiss others because they judge them to live immorally. Truth is truth no matter who tells it.
Julie Culshaw says
Except that she is giving an example to young girls, and I mean pre-teens, that is absolutely terrible. They are not listening to her words, they watch her and then she becomes some kind of role model for them.
It doesn’t matter what she says, they won’t hear that, they are already following her example. And that example negates anything she says. Why doesn’t she just stop?

Why aren’t George Clooney or Mick Jagger called immoral? As always, it’s about reigning in and controlling the girls and putting all of the weight and responsibility and the blame of sexuality on them- not on the boys. the boys are free to do as they please. The more things change, the more they stay the same…
