Lady Gaga has just announced the first few dates of her Born This Way ball tour for 2012. The eccentric superstar will be taking on 110 dates total! Now that is some hardcore touring and some big fat ching!
Madonna also recently announced her tour dates for promotion of her MDNA album. The difference is that Madge is charging a whopping $300 to see her perform live.
So with that being said:
Now, with Paula Abdul, Nicole Scherzinger, and Steve Jones gone, we can all begin to speculate and dream about who our ideal judges would be for the X-Factor.
The problem with having judges replace this cast is that the people who…actually liked the show…may have trouble with getting used to a new format. Do we really want Paula Abdul/Nicole Scherzinger act-alikes who end up being wishy-washy about their voting power only because they don’t want to hurt feelings? And do we really want judges who keep complaining about how “tough” judging is?
No.
That’s why we like Simon Cowell. For him, judging is like taking off a band-aid you’ve had on for too long…the process can be very quick, to the point, and extremely painful. But once it’s done, it’s done.
So, how can we add to the dynamic of the judges table without making an awful cry-fest?
Well, let’s hope that we can figure this out with our dream cast of X-Factor Judges…
Dream Judge # 1 – Lady Gaga
Okay, usually these judging gigs go to B-list celebrities that are hoping to revive a dying career, which is definitely not the case for Lady Gaga, but…one can only hope, right? With her combination of talent and her (seemingly) understanding (albeit, weird) nature…she would be a nice balance of actually knowing what she is talking about without the cruelty of Simon.
Dream Judge # 2 – Madonna
I mean, come on, really…I sing poorly and I would have no problems trying out for X Factor just to see Madonna in person. She has talent, she is an icon, and she tells it like it is. And, if they could some how bring Madonna and Lady Gaga, we are bound to see a bit of fun animosity (which, really…we all love that) between those two judges.
Dream Judge # 3 – Gene Simmons
Aside from the fact that as the lead singer of Kiss he has made a name for himself with that extra long tongue of his, Gene Simmons is no stranger to the world of singing contests. He appeared on American Idol as a guest judge and was considered for some time to be a great replacement for Simon Cowell.
Dream Judge # 4 – Katy Perry
Now, Katy, we all know that you are recovering from your post-marriage breakup, and so we all know that with any breakup the busier you get the less time you have to think about your former beau (it never works, but we all try). Plus, not only did she give great critiques on the people she judged while being a guest on American Idol, she has the love of the fans as well. She would definitely get my attention onto the X-Factor (plus, she doesn’t have the “once-was” factor that the newer judges for American Idol have…)
Dream Judge # 5 – Paul McCartney
I thought I would throw another icon on the list. How can we ever get a great contestant if we don’t have “the greats” up there to judge them? If X-Factor really wants to beat out American Idol, the judges table will have to be strengthened. And adding a former Beatle, and rock icon would definitely do the trick.
“I certainly think she references me a lot in her work. And sometimes I think it’s amusing and flattering and well done. Her work also appears to be a statement about taking something that was in the Zeitgeist, you know, 20 years ago and turning it inside out and reinterpreting it. There’s a lot of ways to look at it. I can’t really be annoyed by it …because, obviously, I’ve influenced her.”

Lady Gaga has her own photo book with images taken by Terry Richardson.
In an exclusive new video, Gaga sits down to flip through her photo book, Lady Gaga x Terry Richardson, and reads aloud the special introduction that she wrote about the experience.
In the audio, Gaga explains, “Sometimes it seems as though I’ve waited my entire life to be photographed by Terry Richardson. With Terry, the relationship extends beyond the photograph, and if you’re lucky, he will teach you something truly profound about yourself…”

“I believe you can be reborn over and over again. I believe I was my father’s sister. My father’s sister died when she was 19 years old and I believe her spirit is with me and so I believe that I am her reincarnation.”
Lady Gaga, on her belief that she was reincarnated
Lady Gaga stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres show on Friday to chat about life as a superstar, shockingly revealing that she is a nomad…or I guess in her terms, a “gypsy”. She also took to the stage to perform her new single “Marry the Night”.
The always awkward and outlandish Lady Gaga stopped by The Ellen Degeneres Show (which will air on December 9th) to chit chat. Gaga talks about her acting dream role and why she does not own a home. Yeah, can you believe that?!
Plus, Gaga performs an exclusive performance of “Marry The Night”. Check out highlights from the interview below.
Trump’s novel, Time to Get Tough: Making America #1 Again, is scheduled to be released this week so for those of you planning to read it, get ready for a whole lot more cockiness, if that’s even possible.
Donald Trump is actually taking credit for the success of our current Queen of pop, Lady Gaga. Oh yeah, I’m sure Trump is totally responsible for the singer’s rise to fame. Someone needs a reality check! (more…)
Lady Gaga has released her Marry the Night video and if you have fourteen minutes to spare today (and you are ready for a big fat what-the-eff moment), then by all means check out the video below. Or you can scan through it in about three minutes like I did.
It is a music video (more like a movie) said to be about Gaga’s rejection by the record label that signed, then dumped her.
Yes we get to see a whole lotta cray cray and yes, we get to see a whole lot of nakedness. It’s Gaga at her weirdest or as her little monsters will probably say, her most brilliant.
Check out the video below and then let me know what you think.

Most guys want people to think they are well hung, so Lady Gaga did her guy, Taylor Kinney, a solid when discussing what she it takes to get her into bed. “It ranges from a really big dick to a degree at Harvard,” she said.
“It ranges from a really big d**k to a degree at Harvard. [Plus] talent and perseverance and pushing the boundaries of love and acceptance.”
Lady Gaga, on what she looks for in a man
You know if television had a dinner table on Thanksgiving, it would probably include Charlie Brown, a float from the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, Lady Gaga (you’ll find out why), and a football player.
Talk about an awesome group to have as your Thanksgiving guests, right?
I don’t know about your household, but for mine…the television is definitely on while we finish up our turkey dinner. And this season, will be no different.
