Pop superstar Lady Gaga has rejected a number of marriage proposals from her former boyfriends - because they always pop the question after she has dumped them.

The Paparazzi hitmaker, who split from her on/off boyfriend Luc Carl earlier this year (11), can't understand why past lovers believe they can fix their relationship problems by asking for her hand in marriage.

Blasting her exes in the new Vanity Fair magazine, she says, "How f**kin' romantic, you a**hole. Sure, pop a ring on my finger and make it all better. I can buy myself a f**kin' ring."

In the same interview, the singer admits she struggles to feel completely comfortable with her suitors because they quickly grow jealous of her mega success - and she believes she's destined for a life of loneliness.

But Lady Gaga refuses to dwell on her romance woes - because she doesn't want anything to disrupt her career.

She says, "I have always picked the music first. If anything gets in music's way, they're gone. My work has always been primary. It's not money and it's not record sales and it's not photographs..."
