Joan Rivers Tells Lady Gaga to “Lighten Up” During Feud with Kelly Osbourne

Written by Kelly Bandas on January 12, 2013 – 1:45 pm -

ReTRACT those claws ladies!

So here’s what’s gone down so far – Apparently Lady Gaga is super pissed about the way the cast of E!’s Fashion Police bullies Hollywood stars based on their appearance and issued an open letter to Kelly Osbourne, one of the show’s hosts, after she claimed that Gaga’s fans were “the worst” and have told the former MTV reality star that she should “kill herself”.

In her open letter, Gaga shared her feelings on Kelly and the hit E! fashion show,

I have empathy for you Kelly, but I feel it culturally important to note that you have chosen a less compassionate path… Your work on E! with the Fashion Police is rooted in criticism, judgment, and rating people’s beauty against one another. ‘Appearance’ is the most used reason for bullying in the world. Your show breeds negativity, and over the years has even become comedic in nature. It glorifies you and Joan Rivers pointing in the camera, laughing, and making jokes about artists and celebrities as if we are zoo animals.

Okay, we sort of see where the Mother Monster is coming from here, but when you dress yourself in slabs of meat and arrive at award shows inside of an eggshell, aren’t you sort of asking to be treating like an animal?

In response to Gaga’s criticism of her cohost, Joan Rivers issued the following statement:

Fashion Police is a comedy show; anyone that comes out of an egg should figure that out… lighten up.

She may be crass at times, but that Joan Rivers sure can tell it like it is!

Lady Gaga Pledges $1 Million to Victims of Hurricane Sandy

Written by Kelly Bandas on November 7, 2012 – 11:45 am -

Lady Gaga has announced her plans to donate $1 million to the American Red Cross to help victims of Hurricane Sandy.

It’s no surprise that the reigning ‘Queen of Pop’ has whipped out her checkbook for this cause, the native New Yorker is notorious for her insatiable love for The Big Apple!

If it wasn’t for NYC: the Lower East Side, Harlem, the Bronx and Brooklyn, I would not be the woman or artist that I am today… New York is relentless ambition, a drive to succeed, a place where there is a natural pursuit of diversity through compassion.

Please accept this gift on behalf of myself, my parents Joe and Cynthia, my sister Natali; with our deepest gratitude New York for raising us. Thank you for helping me build my spirit. I will now help you rebuild yours.

Well said Mother Monster!

Lady Gaga wasn’t the only A-lister offering their support for the millions of people who lost everything from electricity to – well, everything.  Jersey Shore star Snooki donated ‘Snooki Slippers’ and clothes (a shameless plug maybe, but it was a donation nonetheless!), Ben Stiller donated his time cooking pancakes, bacon and eggs at a Brooklyn homeless shelter and native Bostonian and sworn enemy to all things NYC (Just kidding!) Barbara Walters donated $250,000 to the Red Cross.

Great to see these celebs giving back in the wake of such devastation!

Lady Gaga Rocks Some Seriously Sexy New Curves!

Written by Kelly Bandas on September 20, 2012 – 8:04 pm -

The formerly waif-like pop star Lady Gaga is noticeably a little softer these days, hanging up her old size zero jeans for a more sensible size – oh who knows, she’s probably still something ridiculously teensy – like a size four…

The ARTPOP singer credits her new bodacious bod to the restaurant her father recently opened in NYC.

I love eating pasta and pizza… I’m a New York Italian girl. That’s why I have been staying out of New York…. My father [Joe Germanotta] opened a restaurant. It’s so amazing… it’s so freaking delicious, but I’m telling you I gain five pounds every time I go there…. So my dad wants me to eat at the restaurant, and I’m like, ‘I’ve got to go where I can drink green juice.’

Green juice?  Even the sound of that makes us want to run and eat something carb-o-licious!

During a recent show in Amsterdam concert-goers noticed that their favorite diva was looking a little thicker around the middle – but did that bother the Mother Monster?  You bet it didn’t!

I really don’t feel bad about it, not even for a second… It’s hard because I have a vigorous show, so I tend to bulk up, get muscular, and I really don’t like that. So I’m trying to find a new balance.

The singer admits that while she doesn’t regret the weight gain, she’s now dieting to shave off the 25 lbs she’s supposedly packed on over the last several months.

Oh whatever…

We think Gaga looks as gorgeous as ever and hey, now instead of just throwing away those meat dresses after she wears them – she can eat them!

;)

Written by Kelly Bandas on August 9, 2012 – 10:26 am -

Ooh Ga Ga!

Pop superstar Lady Gaga is Vogue’s September cover girl and the with her trademark flare for the dramatic, the Mother Monster herself leaked the ‘zine’s cover to her Little Monsters via her website and Twitter,

SEPT ISSUE OF VOGUE. Photo: MERT & MARCUS Gown By: MARC JACOBS Styling: Grace Coddington

On the cover, the 26-year-old “Born This Way” singer dons a fuschia Marc Jacobs mermaid gown with her hair teased and tousled into a platinum afro.  In short – she looks fierce.

With her upcoming album ARTPOP due out soon and this fan-freaking-tastic layout in Vogue, we can’t blame Gaga for being fired up about life and telling the whole Twitterverse about it!

Lady Gaga Shows Off NEW Meat Dress!

Written by Kelly Bandas on May 19, 2012 – 5:33 pm -

We get it Lady Gaga - you being on the cutting edge of fashion, but, um,  haven’t we seen this look on you already?

The Mother Monster stepped out in this meaty mini during a May 14th stop on her Born This Way Ball tour.  Unlike like the dress she wore during the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, this little number appears to be made of fabric, not actual meat.

Our noses thank you for that, Gaga.

The 26-year-old superstar Tweeted the above pic to her millions upon millions of followers earlier this week, along with the caption, “Dinner’s on me…literally!”

Okay, okay, we’re just kidding about the caption.  If only Gaga would give us the login information for her Twitter account…

Oh, the fun we would have!

Lady Gaga’s 26th Birthday Bonanza

Written by Kelly Bandas on March 29, 2012 – 5:44 pm -

Mama Monster Lady Gaga rang in her 26th year yesterday with friends in sunny Cali-forn-ia.

Is anyone else, like, totally surprised that Lady Gaga is only 26?

The “Marry the Night” singer took in a private spin class with friends at Soul Cycle’s West Hollywood location where,

She requested [Bruce Springsteen’s] ‘Thunder Road’ because it’s one of her favorite songs… Her friends filled the studio, and they had a blast.

Well who wouldn’t have a blast getting their fitness on while listening to The Boss?

After a rigorous workout, Gaga headed to her parents for a special birthday dinner.

 It was just a small meal with her family.  Her mother cooked.

And a source close to the pop star says that the low-key celebration was just what the doctor ordered.

She’s been ridiculously busy, and has been working herself very, very hard.  But everyone had the most amazing time yesterday!

Happy birthday Lady G!!!

Lady Gaga Hits the Big Apple for Christmas Eve

Written by Kelly Bandas on December 24, 2011 – 10:38 am -

After performing two of her hits, “Born this Way” and “Marry the Night” on a Japanese music station last night, pop superstar Lady Gaga boarded a redeye bound for NYC.  Because there’s no place like home for the holidays!

The Mother Monster bid her Japanese friends adieu from the plane Tweeting,

Bye bye Tokyo! I will miss you so! Aishite masu and Merry Christmas! You are my Asia no Engel + Litolu! Xoxoxo.

Funny – I know another A-list who got kicked off a flight for doing something very similar…

While most of us choose to fly the friendly skies in a comfy pair of jeans and roomy sweatshirt, Lady Gaga showed up on the tarmac at  Tokyo’s Narita International Airport wearing a black and white dress with a pluuuuuunging neckline and platform booties, with her hair pulled back in a chic, tight bun.  She then emerged at JFK in a totally different outfit, complete with sky-high shoulder embellishments and black leather gloves.

The only thing that would’ve surprised me more was if she stepped off the plane in a full Santa suit.

See more pics of Lady Gaga’s getup below…
