Laurieann Gibson, creative director for Lady Gaga thought about not directing the star’s upcoming ‘Judas’ video because of its proliferation of religious overtones. In the beginning, Gibson was unsure of the way the video would turn out. The single, which is set to be released on April 19, is co-directing the video for the song.

About every ten years, a person rises to the top of the music industry and turns the entire pop culture on its head by presenting fans with something that is entirely new. This person has been Michael Jackson, Madonna, and Jimi Hendrix. For 2010, this person is Lady Gaga.

Lady Gaga, the multi-tasker, wants to have a guest spot with “Modern Family,” the television comedy show that stars Sofia Vergara. Reportedly Gaga is a huge fan. However Jesse Tyler Ferguson, one of the hit show’s stars, says he is afraid it would be almost impossible to incorporate such a huge superstar like Lady Gaga seamlessly into the script.

In Neil Strauss’ new book, “Everyone Loves You When You Are Dead: Journeys into Fame and Madness”, Lady Gaga opens up about her dark past which involved bugs, drugs, cockroaches, and iconic artists for inspiration all housed in a New York apartment where the Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter has lived for many years before striking to fame.

“Sometimes it freaks me out when I think about laying in my apartment with bedbugs and roaches on the floor and mirrors with cocaine everywhere, and no will or interest in doing anything but making music and getting high,” the “Born this Way” singer said. She also adds, “I didn’t have a bad childhood. All of the things I went through were on my own quest for an artistic journey to fuck myself up like Warhol and Bowie and Mick.”

Weird but true.

Lady Gaga’s long-standing business partnership with retail giant Target has come to an end, and as much as store execs try to cite the reason for the split in a ‘diplomatic’ manner, the real reason appears to be clear.

It’s politics.

Crawling in the internet right now are some racy photos of the “Bad Romance” singer/songwriter Lady Gaga, thanks to one of her friends who leaked the photos as a “wake up call” to the pop star who allegedly continues to “party”, day in and day out.

Among the pictures leaked includes an image of the performer totally wasted on a stairwell after a wild night of partying and another where she was in a very compromising and racy position, donned in bondage and very tall stilettos and bound by the feet with a black rope while lying on the floor with her private parts seen in the picture, clear as day.

When asked by The Mirror, Gaga’s ex-pal said that the singer “has gone off the deep end” with her increased drug intake when she stroke to stardom and success. In addition, what made her all the more worried is the singer’s new home behavior.

On January 14 when a new song named “Animal” first hit the internet lots of fans thought it was a leaked song from Lady Gaga. The sexual lyrics, dance floor melody and thumping beat sounded like it could very well be a track from the singer. The website that hosted the so-called leak labeled the song as a Lady Gaga track.

In fact “Animal” is not a song from Lady Gaga. The singer’s rep told MTV News, it’s not a Lady Gaga record.

From the producer who brought the wacky Kardashian clan to the small screen comes a new E! reality show featuring choreographer to the stars Laurieann Gibson as she leads the journey aspiring choreographers would have to take as they gear up for Hollywood work.

“Dance is at the center of pop culture — today more than ever — and Laurieann is an amazing force accelerating this huge wave of creativity…This series gives audiences an insider’s view of how competitive the dance world is, the talent and ambition that a dancer needs to be successful in the Hollywood scene, and the drama that ensues along the way,” says Ryan Seacrest, the brains behind the E! hit reality series, “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” and the Kardashian spin-offs that followed.

Months after announcing the title of her follow-up to “The Fame Monster” at the MTV Video Music Awards, Lady Gaga has tweeted the release date for “Born This Way”, her third studio effort set to hit shelves on May 23.

The lead title cut from the set will hit the airwaves on the same day of the Grammy Awards, on February 13, where the pop-dance diva leads the pack of nominees with six nods. Word is that she will be dropping the single for the first time on the awards show.

Bon Jovi’s world tour was the most successful one of its kind this year, despite the fact that “The Circle,” their recent album, didn’t have strong sales. Jon Bon Jovi, along with his band mates, sold $201.1 million in ticket sales for their 80 shows around the world. The tour was in support of “The Circle.”

Bon Jovi was able to beat out the top grossing acts from 2009, AC/DC and U2. Last year U2 was at the top of the list, grossing $311 million, while AC/DC was in second place, grossing $227 million. This year U2, with their 32 shows and gross of $160.9 million were in third place, behind AC/DC who performed 40 shows and grossed $177 million.
