So Gaga is saying something that sounds like something Madonna once said. If you take a closer look, the actual content of what each woman is saying is totally different: Madonna is talking about how she zeroes in on criticism, Gaga is talking about the transformative power of one Mr Bradley Cooper.

There have been others who have used this 100 people/99 people/1 person metaphor before, and there will be others in the future. Just earlier this week Lindsay Lohan referred to her critics thusly in Paper magazine: “I could do 99 things right and one thing wrong but it’s that one thing that will be focussed on.”

Squabbling over diction is unnecessary and petty, especially in an era where we are trying to unpick all of the damage done by the overriding media narrative of pitting famous women against each other.

Female rivalry, real or imagined, is the proverbial manna from heaven for tabloid journalists. Just look at the way everyone is writing about Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton at the moment. Or about the way Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall were discussed earlier this year.

Why we’re sick of this feud between Madonna and Lady Gaga
