Alice Cooper buying Bible for Gaga

14th December 2011

Alice Cooper wants to get Lady Gaga a bible and a "subscription to Good Housekeeping" magazine for Christmas.

The American rock star classes the songstress as a good friend after meeting her many times. Alice has got to know Gaga on a personal level and has revealed what he'd buy the singer for the festive holidays.

The 63-year-old believes household gifts would definitely be useful for the undomesticated star.

"I know Lady Gaga really well. I get her. And for Christmas I'd get her a Betty Crocker cookbook. That and a subscription to Good Housekeeping - because those are the two things I know she doesn't have," he told NME magazine.

"Do I like her music? Well she created a character named Gaga. I created a character called Alice Cooper that I play. I'm not Alice now, I'll be Alice tonight. She writes songs for her, I write songs for Alice. We're actually closer than [musician] Rob Zombie and I are. I think she's great.

"Maybe I'd also get her a bible, actually..."

Alice also mused about what to buy Canadian superstar Justin Bieber.

The veteran musician has a downtime treat in store for the 17-year-old heartthrob.

"I know Bieber. Nice kid. When I met him it was at the Grammy Awards. It was Katy Perry and I giving out an award, and he's back there and he's nervous. And I said, Justin. C'mere. What's wrong?' And he goes I...I...I've never done this before! I've never done the MC thing...'" he recalled.

"So I said Can you read? That's all you have to do, you just read!' He's a little kid, so what I'm gonna get him is some Lego. Then when he goes on tour he can have something to play with."
