For fans looking for details on Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" single, out in two weeks, pal Perez Hilton gave the world a sneak peek of the tune's opening lyrics on Thursday (January 27).

Hilton posted these lyrics on his website: "Don't be a drag/ Just be a queen."

"I just posted a big surprise on my website!!!! " the gossip blogger tweeted after posting the line. "Oh, and if you're a @ladygaga fan, you REALLY wanna go to [my website] RIGHT NOW! #Leaking"

Later in the day, in another post, Hilton revealed more lyrics: "No matter gay, straight or bi, lesbian, transgendered life/ I'm on the right track, baby, I was born to survive."

His post comes hours after Gaga herself teased that she was planning to gift her fans with some of the single's lyrics, tweeting, "#thankgod4gaga is trending!? More like #thankgod4monsters! Maybe I should leak the lyrics to Born This Way today, whatdya say #leakitgaga?"

She belted out a bit of the song at the VMAs back in September. Donning her now-infamous meat dress, she sang, "I'm beautiful in my way/ 'Cause God makes no mistakes/ I'm on the right track/ Baby, I was born this way."

In his post, Hilton also revealed that he's heard the song and the album and that all of Gaga's Little Monsters won't be disappointed. "Get ready world!!!! Here she comes!!!! We've heard the song and - it MORE than lives up to the hype!!!" he wrote. "We've been holding a big secret from you all, which is we've heard the whole album. We've been there every step of the way and.... This album is going to change culture! When we can say more, we will! For now.... Don't be a drag, just be a queen!!!"

Gaga got fans hyped for the May album release of the same name on Wednesday, when she thanked them for making the song title "Edge of Glory" a Twitter trend. "Ok. Firstly, yes I love Nutella (with Banana+Wonderbread) who doesn't?" she wrote. "Secondly, I can't believe Edge of Glory was trending, sneakymonsters! Thirdly, I need a beer with my name on it cause the last 72hrs gave me a creative hangover."

Why Jennie Garth Wants 'Twilight' To Be Over Already

Why Jennie Garth Wants 'Twilight' To Be Over Already

Being married to a vampire may look sexy in the upcoming The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -- but as Jennie Garth knows, it has its downsides. Garth has been married to Twilight actor Peter Facinelli for ten years, and she admits that his best-known role -- as Carlisle, the benevolent vampire father figure -- has been a huge strain on the family. In fact, she can't wait for the Twilight films to wrap up!

"Oh, for sure," the actress tells PopEater. "I can't even remember what life is like with a husband."

Garth and Facinelli have three daughters, ages 13, 8 and 4, whom the actor tries to see every two to three weeks. The commitment of shooting five consecutive movies on location, though, has made regular visits a challenge.

"It gets harder the more time he's gone," Garth admits. "It's more of a challenge to keep everybody connected, and for the girls, they miss him so much, so it's kind of heart-wrenching to see him come and go."

The actress says that she doesn't want the family to "become a traveling circus"; her husband's absence is the price that she pays to give her daughters "regular quiet lives." And yet Twilight has put their lives in the spotlight -- especially their oldest daughter, thirteen-year-old Luca Bella, who lives among Twilight-obsessed teens.

"I was with her at a soccer tournament over the weekend," Garth recalls, "and there was a gaggle of girls walking by, and one of them said, 'Have you guys seen the super hot Twilight guy?' -- having no idea that was her dad. She said, 'Mom, did you hear those girls?' They were looking for him, having no idea he's across the country right now.'"

We understand where they're coming from! For more Twilight, visit the iVillage Entertainment Awards and vote for your favorite vamps!

Gemma Ward Opens Up About Romance with Heath Ledger

Gemma Ward Opens Up About Romance with Heath Ledger

There's a great deal of mystery surrounding the months before Heath Ledger's untimely death -- and now supermodel Gemma Ward has added a new piece to the puzzle. Ward, 23, tells the Australian newspaper The Herald Sun that she and fellow Aussie Ledger had a "magical" romance four months before he died.

Ward, who appears in the upcoming Pirates of Caribbean: On Stranger Tides says that she and Ledger first met in New York City when they were struggling with similar personal issues ("things that I won't get into," she says).

"I kind of met him at first and said, 'Listen, my mum's living with me right now and I'm kind of going through a hard time and I'm not interested in having a serious relationship with somebody right now,'" Ward recalls. "And he was like, 'You know, um, let's just be there for each other through these hard times we're both going through.' And we developed a relationship and we started seeing each other."

The pair spent Christmas of 2007 together in their mutual home city of Perth, where they met one another's families. Ledger was 28, and Ward was 20 at the time. The model remembers it as an "incredible" moment away from their celebrity lives.

"We were able to not be in any kind of a spotlight and not have to be meeting with people or be hounded by press or anything," Ward says of the vacation. "We lived in a magical kind of world where we weren't intruded upon."

The couple returned to New York together, where Heath died less than a month later of an accidental prescription drug overdose. Ward doesn't say whether they were still dating when he died, but she did take his death to heart -- abruptly leaving the media spotlight for two years. This year, she's returning to her modeling, stage and film careers, and she treasures the memory of her time with Ledger.

"There was no one like him -- and no one will ever be like him," says his former girlfriend. "I'm just so grateful I got to meet him and get as close as I did with him."

In his final days, Ledger was also linked to Lindsay Lohan and Mary Kate Olsen.
