Lady Gaga apologises for "retarded" comment

Lady GaGa has apologised after describing her critics as "retarded".
The singer made the comments in response to accusations of plagiarism because of the similarities between her track 'Born This Way'and Madonna's 1989 single 'Express Yourself'.
"Why would I try to put out a song and think I'm getting one over on everybody?" she said. "That's retarded."
In a later statement to Perez Hilton, GaGa said: "I consider it part of my life's work and music to push the boundaries of love and acceptance.
"My apologies for not speaking thoughtfully. To anyone that was hurt, please know that it was furiously unintentional."
She added: "An honest mistake, requires honesty to make. Whether life's disabilities, left you outcast bullied or teased, rejoice and love yourself today."
GaGa has previously claimed that Madonna's representatives sent her a letter "sending me love and complete support" for her single.
Meanwhile GaGa has taken another tumble on stage during a live performance in Atlanta.
The popstar took a similar fall earlier this month during a concert in Houston.
The singer fell down while performing 'Poker Face' on Monday in Atlanta as part of her 'Monster Ball' tour.
A video has surfaced which shows GaGa dancing in high heels and losing her balance at the back end of the stage. The singer quickly picked herself up and continued the performance.
A commenter on the video's YouTube page expressed concern for GaGa.
"She's falling quite a lot lately... I think she's just exhausted... She really has to take a break now, she's been touring for a year and a half already,"
