Landing the coveted spot in the world of
magazines, Lady Gaga takes over the front page of the September 2012 issue of
Vogue.
Set to hit newsstands on August 14th, the
26-year-old "You and I" singer was styled up in a Marc Jacobs frock for the Mert
Alas and Marcus Piggott shot front page of what's her second time being featured
on the popular fashion publication.
On her new signature scent:
"The fragrance is called Fame. It must be
black. It must be enticing. You must want to lick and touch and feel it, but the
look of it must terrify you."
On dreaming up a "fortress" that lets her
dance 50 feet above the audience for her Born This Way Ball world
tour:
"I really wanted to break the mold of
what modern touring is now."
On the reinvention of the meat dress for
her tour:
“We were talking about putting the show
together and I said, OK, what if I was someone's grandma and I was going to a
concert tonight. How would I know that it was a Gaga show? And we all just sort
of looked at each other and said,‘The meat dress.'"
Spending some relaxing time on the beach,
Paris Hilton and her new beau were seen soaking up the sun in Corsica, France on
Monday afternoon (August 6).
The Hilton hotel heiress looked gorgeous
in a black monokini as she frolicked in the water and cuddled up to her
man.
While enjoying her vacation, the
31-year-old took to her Twitter page on Friday, writing, "I love biza! Been
having the most incredible time! Only bad thing is the cell reception, so it's
hard to keep up with my twitter peeps."
In other news, though Miss Hilton
recently used her hefty bank account to help the less fortunate.
Back in July, the blonde beauty met Mike
Oliveri, who suffers from muscular dystrophy, in a night club. After hearing
that he can't keep up with the steep medical bills Paris sent him a gracious
check for $5,000.
Oliveri later posted a video on YouTube
thanking the socialite calling her an "amazing person" and saying she "saved my
life" during "very difficult" financial times.
Trying something new aside from her music
endeavors, Lady Gaga has been announced as having joined the cast of the movie
"Machete Kills".
The 25-year-old "Edge of Glory"
songstress has signed on to assume the role of a character called La Chameleón
in the Robert Rodriguez directed motion picture.
As for the movie, "Machete Kills" finds
"the U.S. government recruit Machete to battle his way through Mexico in order
to take down an arms dealer who looks to launch a weapon into space."
Set to be released next year, the action
caper also stars Danny Trejo in the lead, along with Jessica Alba, Sofia
Vergara, Amber Heard, Vanessa Hudgens, Michelle Rodriguez, Mel Gibson and
Charlie Sheen.
Happy Birthday Daniel Radcliffe! We wish
you the best day!
Daniel Radcliffe, better known as Harry Potter, is celebrating a birthday today! Although we will always know him as
Harry, Daniel has appeared in many other movies and plays! We love his British
accent and hope he has a dashing day!
Happy birthday, Daniel Radcliffe! With
four planets in performance-loving Leo, it seems like being the star of your own

next is likely to be just as grand. Perhaps we’re only left to see ‘Sir’ Daniel
Radcliffe scroll down the list of credits on your next project?
Happy Birthday Daniel Radcliffe –Today,
July 23, You’re 23 Years Old.
Bringing her directorial effort to
Sarajevo, Angelina Jolie was joined by partner Brad Pitt at the film's overseas
premiere on Tuesday.
The "Salt" beauty posed alongside her man
while also being joined by Bosnian actors Zana Marjanovic, Goran Kostic, Vanessa
Glodjo and Croatian actor Rade Serbedzija at the Zetra Olympic center
venue.
Telling the audience of about 5,000 that
her film about the Bosnian war should be a 'wake-up call' for the world to act
in time to prevent atrocities like those now happening in Syria, Jolie added, “I
am satisfied with what we made, I feel very strongly about it and I believe that
its core issue — which is the need for intervention and need for the world to
care about atrocities when they are happening — is very, very timely and
especially with things that are happening in Syria today."
Lady Gaga’s never been one for regular
street clothes, and Lady Gaga got all gussied up for a trip to Starbucks
yesterday afternoon .
The “Born This Way” songstress arrived at
the popular coffeehouse sporting a black leather jacket and black sheer bodysuit
with black sunglasses as she ordered her favorite libation.
Gaga has been treating fans to snippets
of her forthcoming album during her current tour, having performed “Princess
Die” at her gig in Perth, Australia.
She announced, "It's not about you, it's
about me. This whole thing is about me. Oh, the vanity of a singer. So I wrote
this song and in a way it has a bit to do with the rest of the album ... well,
I'm not gonna say anything.”
"Let's just say I feel, I feel that when
I wrote Born This Way, I demonstrated a sense of maturity. And I feel that, on
the next album, there's a lack of maturity, it's a tremendous lack of maturity
or sense of responsibility."
Gaga added, "I've started writing it and
I have the name for it and all the concepts are beginning to flourish and take
place. I'm excited to put it out, but it's not done yet. So I'll put it out when
it's done.
Stepping out for a lively evening, Lady
Gaga received quite the welcome as she arrived at the Crown Metropol in Perth,
Australian today (July 5).
Sporting oversized sunglasses and a
cleavage-bearing top, the “Just Dance” diva greeted fans and posed for
shutterbugs along the way.
Earlier in the day, Gaga once again
showed off her chest as she departed the Melbourne Airport en route to Perth to
begin the final leg of her massively successful Australian tour.
Yesterday, Lady Gaga partied at the
Northcote Social Club with fans in honor of the American 4th of July
holiday.
Gaga tweeted, “5 sold out shows in seven
days. I think I'm officially Australian. One more show until PERTH! And tomorrow
is our HAUS 4TH OF JULY.”
Lady Gaga's never been one to deny
herself fabulous fashion, and Lady Gaga plunked down a huge chunk of change for
an Alexander McQueen dress at auction.
According to a report, the “Born This
Way” songstress purchased the garment from Christie's South Kensington as part
of the Daphne Guinness wardrobe.
Gaga phoned in her record-setting bid of
$133,075 for the dress, part of McQueen’s “The Girl Who Lived in the Tree”
collection Autumn/Winter 2008/09.
All proceeds from the 102-lot sale went
to benefit the Isabella Blow Foundation, which was started by Ms. Guinness to
help aspiring fashion designers who deal with mental illness.
She explained, “This auction was the
culmination of a plan, the completion of a circle. I wanted to celebrate
Isabella — she was one of the most interesting funny people I have ever known.
And I feel so great that all of these things will go on to have lives with other
people. There has to be a certain flow to life — you can’t hang on to things.
The sale was so freeing.”
Lady Gaga's been having a blast in the
land down under, and earlier today (June 25) Lady Gaga was spotted making her
rounds in Sydney Harbor, Australia.
The “Just Dance” diva took a stroll down
the wharf where she boarded a boat for a cruise around the picturesque
waterfront.
And it looks like Gaga even used her
celebrity clout to score a seat behind the wheel of the sea vessel, as the
skipper taught her how to navigate the boat.
All the while, Lady Gaga attracted plenty
of attention with an off-the shoulder cream colored top with white leggings and
super-high-heels and sunglasses.
Gaga is in Sydney for four concerts as
part of her worldwide Born This Way Ball Tour.
It was a Spice Girl reunion in London on
Tuesday when Melanie Brown, Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell, and
Melanie Chisholm came together to drum up interest in "Viva Forever," an
upcoming musical based on the hit songs of the '90s girl group.
The event took place at St. Pancras
Renaissance London Hotel, where the Spice Girls filmed their music video for
"Wannabe" back in 1996. The women looked better than ever as they gathered to
talk about "Viva Forever," which will be produced by Judy Craymer, the
mastermind behind the ABBA musical, "Mamma Mia!" The show centers around four
women whose friendship is put to the test when their band competes on a TV
talent-competition show. The musical, which opens this fall, will feature hit
songs made famous by the Spice Girls, who sold 75 million records around the
world.
"They sing it better than us," Melanie
Brown, better known as Scary Spice, told the Associated Press, referring to the
cast of the musical.
The Spice Girls formed in 1994 and shot
to fame two years later when they released their debut single, "Wannabe." Some
of their other hit songs include "Say You'll Be There," "Spice Up Your Life,"
and "Viva Forever," which was the inspiration for the name of the musical.
Halliwell left the group in 1998, and while the remaining four continued to make
music together, they called it quits in 2000. This is the first Spice Girls
appearance since they all participated in a reunion tour in 2007 and
2008.
Lady Gaga 's become one of the most
intriguing figures in pop culture, and Lady Gaga brought her unique self to the
pages of the July 2012 issue of Maxim Australia magazine.
The 26-year-old "Edge of Glory" singer
put forth another scantily clad feature shot by photographer Reninio Maifredi
while dishing about everything from her admiration for Britney Spears to her
dream of "making the whole world gay."
Highlights from Lady Gaga's interview are
as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to Maxim Australia!
Having just flown into the Land Down
Under from Asia, Lady Gaga was spotted out and about at the Woolloomooloo Wharf
for dinner in Sydney, Australia on Monday (June 18).
Not afraid to show off some skin, the
"Born This Way" singer turned heads as she stepped out of her hotel in a black
and mesh bodysuit with fishnet stockings and sky-high pumps and threw a blazer
over her shoulders to prepare for the cool breeze while dining on the
water.
Summer is here, folks, and I can hardly
think of anything I like better than the hot-weather activities the season
brings on: barbecues, beach trips, convertible trips with the top down (if
you're lucky enough to know anyone with a convertible, anyway). But one of the
most important elements for all those things is a great soundtrack; you need
songs that are upbeat, that are happy, and that somehow channel that carefree,
fabulous Summer feeling. I've got your seasonal songs right here — whether they
have the word "Summer" right in the title or are about this blissful time of
year.
Not one to tone down her clothing choices
for the sake of comfortable travels, Lady Gaga brought her glam self to Sydney,
Australia after flying in from Brisbane on Sunday (June 17).
The Mother Monster was greeted by a horde
of fans as she arrived to the Park Hyatt Hotel while clad in a shimmery Atelier
Versace gown topped off with her notorious teal wig.
The Sydney arrival comes as Gaga is
gearing up to perform her Born This Way Ball shows at the Sydney Super Dome on
June 20, 21, 23 and 24th before heading off to Melbourne for a five night
run.
Meanwhile, the 26-year-old also finds
herself in the running for a little hardware around the globe come later tonight
- as she's one of the esteemed nominees at the 2012 MuchMusic Video
Awards.
Continuing her latest phase of world
domination, Lady Gaga was spotted at Brisbane Airport in Brisbane, Australia
today (June 11).
Gearing up for the Australian leg of her
Born This Way Ball World Tour, the "Edge of Glory" songstress looked snazzy in a
halter-style purple dress with matching heels and a short blonde wig.
On Sunday (June 10) Gaga was performing
in New Zealand when one of her backup dancers whacked her in the head with a
pole.
During "Judas", Lady Gaga told the
audience, "I think I may have a concussion, but don't you worry I will finish
this show." And she did.
Making a gorgeous arrival to her next
jet-setting location, Lady Gaga was spotted at the Stamford Plaza in Auckland,
New Zealand on Tuesday .
The Mother Monster popped in a bright
orange structured skirt and top while pairing it with white platform pumps and
sunglasses as she greeted her eager fans and posed for awaiting
photographers.
The "Bad Romance" songstress is in New
Zealand for her three upcoming shows that she will perform at Auckland's Vector
Arena as part of her 'Born This Way Ball' world tour.
The 26-year-old arrived early for her
upcoming performances due to having cancelled her already scheduled shows in
Indonesia after Islamic groups protested about her performing there.
If you've never had them, know that bangs
work Botox-like wonders in disguising forehead wrinkles. "They also make your
hair appear fuller, which helps deflect from thinning," says celebrity
hairstylist Ric Pipino, who works with Elle Macpherson and Fergie. His advice?
Go big or go home: "Thick, softly beveled bangs are the most girlish," he says.
If that sounds too rock 'n' roll, try a long, sideswept fringe, which creates
pretty movement and also erases years.
We're shouting it from salon rooftops:
The difference between a haircut that's aging and one that's age-defying comes
down to layers. "Without them, hair doesn't move--and nothing makes you seem
older than stiff hair," says hairstylist Juan Carlos Maciques of the Rita Hazan
Salon in New York City, who works with Jennifer Lopez. "No matter what your
length, you want delicate layers throughout and face-framing pieces. This
creates lush, healthy-looking hair, which softens your entire appearance."
(Blunt cuts, on the other hand, can catapult you a decade, à la Callista
Gingrich.) And we're setting the record straight on length: You don't have to
abandon long hair for a short, so-called sensible 'do when you hit 40. "Just get
regular trims so your hair maintains that healthy look," Maciques
says.
If you have kinky or African-American
hair and wear it natural, "a cut that's shoulder-length or shorter is the most
youthful--any longer, and your hair starts to balloon around your head, which
piles on the years," says hairstylist Tippi Shorter, whose clients include
Jennifer Hudson and Mary J. Blige. This hair type also needs a serious wallop of
moisture to prevent it from getting dry and brittle (an instant ager). For this,
use a curl-enhancing product, says Shorter, whose fave brand is Kinky-Curly.
"It's an ethnic hair-care line with different curl enhancers, from a lightweight
serum to a rich cream, so there's something for every type of curl."
Slicked-back styles put every pore and
fine line on full display. Instead, use your fingers to rake your hair back into
a ponytail or bun, which creates soft ripples and a slightly fuzzy finish that's
relaxed and sexy. "It's okay if it's a little messy--that's what makes it
young," Pipino says.
As every Disney heroine reminds us,
glossy hair is a symbol of youth and vitality (anthropologists, incidentally,
agree). An at-home glaze like John Frieda Clear Shine Luminous Glaze, $9.99,
restores sheen with nourishing oils and works on all hair types, including
ethnic. Apply it once a month to wet, freshly shampooed hair; wait five minutes,
then rinse and follow with conditioner.
Unless you're going for that Maria
Callas, super-diva vibe, "a center part can make you look severe," Maciques
says. His softening tip: Shift your part to the side and make it slightly
zigzaggy, which creates an effortless look that (bonus!) hides grays and
roots.
Giving love another shot, Lady Gaga is
reportedly dating her ex-boyfriend Taylor Kinney proving they must not have "Bad
Romance" after all, according to Us Weekly.
The "Born This Way" singer is currently
touring in Asia, which is where relationship rumors sparked when the singer and
her 30-year-old ex were spotted showing off a little PDA in both Thailand and
Singapore.
"They sure looked like they were back
together -- holding hands and being cute everywhere they went," an onlooker told
Us during the couple's Thailand stay. "They were seen kissing right as they got
into the [hotel] elevator."
After dating for 10 months the couple
split in early May but the insider confirms Gaga is back on with the "Vampire
Diaries" star adding, "They are going to try and make it work even with her
crazy schedule, Gaga realized she missed him."
However, a packed schedule may tear the
couple apart again and according to the source, "She will be touring nonstop
until next year," an insider explained, "There's just no room for anything else.
Her work is all-consuming."
"They may still be trying to make it
work. She feels like having him keeps her grounded," the source revealed.
"Obviously she thinks he's hot . . .She says he's 'really cool.'"
Taking care of a promotional appearance,
Lady Gaga was spotted at a book launch party in lower Manhattan last
night.
The "Bad Romance" songstress was in the
house to plug her new product "Lady Gaga x Terry Richardson" and looked
remarkable in a black lace getup with a high blonde wig.
Bystanders who were watching a recent
rehearsal for Madonna's upcoming Tel Aviv, Israel performance on May 31 seemed
to have gotten a little more than they bargained for.
In a video that was released via YouTube
on Sunday (May 27), the iconic songstress took the stage to go over her hit
"Express Yourself" but instead threw in a little of Lady Gaga's "Born This Way"
about halfway through the performance, belting it out as if it were her
own.
Whether or not the Mother Monster is
aware of the mashup is unknown, but this could all stem back to many critics
claiming that Gaga's 2011 hit single had quite a resemblance to "Express
Yourself."
Despite the controversy, the 26-year-old
performer told Jay Leno on the "Tonight Show" last year that Madonna sent her
"love and complete support", but earlier this year the "MDNA" singer had a
slightly different opinion.
In an interview with Newsweek magazine
when she first got a taste of the song for herself the 53-year-old icon
described the new track as a "redo" of "Express Yourself” and "thought it was…
interesting."
Lady Gaga’s no stranger to controversy,
and Lady Gaga is experiencing all kinds of push-back from folks in Indonesia who
don’t want her to perform in Jakarta on June 3.
It was previously announced that the gig
was cancelled due to a lack of permits, but now “Born This Way” tour promoters
are trying to negotiate with city officials to make it happen.
Gaga tweeted, "The Jakarta situation is
2-fold: Indonesian authorities demand I censor the show & religious
extremist separately, are threatening violence. If the show does go on as
scheduled, I will perform the BTWBall alone."
Asrorun Niam from the National Ulema
Council announced, "Lady Gaga is considered an icon for liberal culture and
Indonesia's freedom is not without limits. There are restrictions related to
norms, morals and religion."
Meanwhile, the Islamic Defenders Front
has threatened to ‘create havoc’ at the show, calling Gaga the ‘devil’s
messenger.’ "We have gotten Lady Gaga tickets, not to watch but for us to enter.
Whatever will be will be, we're ready for the risk."
Fresh off of spending the St. Patrick's
Day weekend in Boston, Emma Watson was back in work mode as she kicked off a new
project titled "The Bling Ring" in Calabasas, California on Monday .
The "Harry Potter" actress could be seen
donning a bathrobe as she was led around the set's first locale chosen by
director Sofia Coppola.
Inspired by real life events, "The Bling
Ring" tells the story of a group of teenagers, also known as the 'Hollywood
Hills Burglar Bunch,' who were caught robbing celebrity homes of stars such as
Paris Hilton, Audrina Patridge, Rachel Bilson, and Lindsay Lohan.
Along with shooting material in
Calabasas, production will also be taking place largely in Los Angeles, along
with a few days in Las Vegas .
Making her way around the globe, Lady
Gaga was spotted arriving at the Sungshan Airport in Taipei, Taiwan today (May
16).
The “Just Dance” singer was hard to miss,
thanks to her bright lime green dress teamed with a multi-colored coif, as she
waved to fans and press before heading to her hotel. Lady Gaga is in Taiwan for
a pair of concerts as part of her Asian Born This Way Ball tour.
In career news, Gaga will be featured on
the “Simpsons” season finale on May 20th at 8pm ET on FOX.
Of her experience doing the voice for
“Lisa Goes Gaga,” Gaga explained, “I think I was more nervous than I've ever
been, because I have so much respect for [the cast and crew]. I just wanted to
do a good job."
Finished up with her stay in Japan, a Chanel Paris clad Lady Gaga was spotted readying for a departing flight out of
Tokyo on Wednesday .
After hitting a karaoke bar and greeting
fans with photographer Terry Richardson in tow the previous night, the Mother
Monster was chauffeured over to Narita International Airport to board an
outbound aircraft headed to Taiwan.
Giving herself only one day off, Gaga is
lined up to perform shows at the Nangan World Trade Center in Taipei on May 17th
& 18th before continuing along to Manila as her arduous Born This Way Ball
tour rolls along.
On a side note, the Asian efforts come as
the 26-year-old singer landed herself a pair of Award-winning Songs at Tuesday
night's 60th annual BMI Pop Awards for her tracks "Born This Way" and "Edge of
Glory".
