Lady Gaga Joins Bruce Springsteen, Elton John At Sting’s Rainforest Benefit

Gaga performed duets of ‘Speechless’ and ‘Your Song’ with John at New York show. By Gil Kaufman Lady Gaga and Bruce Springsteen perform in New York on Thursday Photo: Kevin Kane/ Getty Images In the past year Lady Gaga has risen from little-known dance act to one of today’s major international superstars. But how do you know you’ve really arrived? It’s when you get invited to perform at Sting’s annual Rainforest Fund benefit show. On Thursday night (May 13) Gaga was on-hand for the star-studded show at New York’s Carnegie Hall, which also featured performances by Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, host Sting, Mary J. Blige and Blondie’s Debbie Harry. Wearing a frumpy gray old-lady wig, a white mini-hoop skirt and matching leggings that looked like they were made out of Ace bandages, Gaga sat down at the piano for what the New York Daily News described as a “sober version of one of the most earnest pop songs of all time,” Ben E. King’s timeless “Stand by Me.” She also hooked up with pop icon John again for a run through her song “Speechless,” which segued into his hit “Your Song” in what the paper described as a seamless collaboration between two stars who seemed “made for each other.” The 21st annual show opened with Sting singing “Englishman in New York.” He later hooked up with Mary J. for their duet, “Whenever I Say Your Name.” Springsteen belted out Bryan Adams’ “Cuts Like a Knife” and “Dancing in the Dark.” Though he played such classics as “Philadelphia Freedom,” John also got in on the cover action, taking on the Lovin’ Spoonful’s “Summer in the City” and Madonna’s “Like a Virgin” and “Material Girl,” accompanied by a kick line of male go-go dancers wearing Speedos. Harry performed the Blondie classic “The Tide Is High,” while Dame Shirley Bassey busted out two of her iconic James Bond themes, “Goldfinger” and “Diamonds Are Forever,” as well as her hit “Big Spender.” Chic leader Nile Rodgers served up “Le Freak” and Sting returned later in the show for a cover of the Fine Young Cannibals’ 1989 hit “She Drives Me Crazy.” The whole gang ended the night by taking on Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’.” Related Artists Lady Gaga Elton John Bruce Springsteen

‘We Built Sioux City on Rock and Roll’ Video Goes Viral

Filed under: Videos , Music When Starship ‘s smash hit ‘ We Built This City ‘ came out in 1985, the traffic report and DJ banter heard during the bridge of the song were edited out, encouraging local radio stations to insert their own customized content into the song itself. And you thought ‘ Empire State of Mind ‘ was innovative. Starship was doing user generated content before you were born. Fast forward 25 years. Sioux City radio personalities, firefighters and hometown folks have come together to create a shakily edited lipdub that oozes low-budget dorky whiteness. Share Continue reading →

Diddy-Dirty Money Say ‘Hello, Good Morning’ In Frenzied New Video

The Bad Boy mogul’s latest clip features guest appearances by T.I., Rick Ross and Swizz Beatz. By Jayson Rodriguez Diddy in his video for “Dirty Money” Photo: Bad Boy Diddy ‘s gone on record explaining that his Last Train to Paris album will revolve around a narrative that follows the hip-hop mogul as he embarks on a journey to reunite with a would-be love. The excursion will take the Bad Boy Records CEO from London to Paris, with each record detailing his lovesick pursuit. So it’s only right that Diddy’s new video for “Hello, Good Morning,” the third clip from his Dirty Money project, would be a study in frenzied energy. Featuring Rick Ross and T.I., along with a cameo by Swizz Beatz, the video premiered Thursday (May 13) on Vevo. While the visual is set in Los Angeles, with the exception of a passing shot of the Staples Center, the city is anonymous. Ross opens the clip, backed by Diddy, Swizz and Dirty Money’s Dawn Richards and Kalenna. “Hello, good morning/ Tell me what the liq read/ Pretty face, thin waist, with the sick weave/ First time fish-tailing in the six-speed,” Ross spits, in a club scene. “Real bad boy, tell them come and get me.” Diddy speeds across the city in a bug-eyed Bugatti, with a helicopter tailing him ominously, as he recites the song’s chorus. Tip kicks his “5 Star” flow with two beautiful women draped over him in a hotel penthouse suite. Diddy ends the proceedings with a bang, literally, as he raps the third verse in a wide-open lot as fireworks go off behind him and his two female DM counterparts. The Diddy-Dirty Money video follows clips for the singles “Love Comes Down” and “Angels.” “We’re just trying to roll it out properly,” Diddy told MTV News last year about the long-awaited album. “I wanted a chance to lay out songs for you. A lot of singles we putting out now — that’s the introduction. We didn’t even get to that Train music. We’re hitting you with warning shots, letting you know we’re here.” What do you think about Diddy’s latest video? Let us know in the comments! Related Artists Diddy

Glee Creator Urges: Boycott Newsweek!

In last week’s edition of Newsweek , Ramin Setoodeh wrote an article that made one controversial statement and asked one controversial question: First, he said, gay actors cannot pull of straight roles. Then, he asked: Why is there no A-list gay movie star? Kristin Chenoweth fired back at the essay, citing Setoodeh’s examples of failed straight roles (e.g. Cynthia Nixon as Miranda in Sex and the City ) as “sloppy,” and referring to the entire piece as “bigoted and factually inaccurate.” Now, Glee creator Ryan Murphy has taken his critique of the article even further: he’s written an open letter, asking everyone to boycott Newsweek. In it, he says: This article is as misguided as it is shocking and hurtful. It shocks me because Mr. Setoodeh is himself gay. But what is the most shocking of all is that Newsweek went ahead and published such a blatantly homophobic article in the first place…and has remained silent in the face of ongoing (and justified) criticism. Would the magazine have published an article where the author makes a thesis statement that minority actors should only be allowed and encouraged to play domestics? I think not. Today, I have asked GLAAD president Jarrett Barrios to stand with me and others and ask for an immediate boycott of Newsweek magazine until an apology is issued to Sean Hayes and other brave out actors who were cruelly singled out in this damaging, needlessly cruel, and mind-blowingly bigoted piece. An apology should also be issued to all gay readers of the magazine…steelworkers, parents, accountants, doctors, etc…proud hardworking Americans who, if this article is to be believed, should only identify themselves as “queeny” people (a word used by Setoodeh in the article) who stand at the back of the bus and embrace an outdated decades old stereotype. Give me a call, Ramin… I’d love to hear from you. I’ll even give you a free copy of our Madonna CD, on which we cover “Open Your Heart,” a song you should play in your house and car on repeat. Our take on Setoodeh’s viewpoint? Putting aside homophobic rhetoric and anythong of that nature, it’s simply incorrect. Off the top of our heads, we can come up with numerous gay actors that are widely accepted in straight roles (Nixon, Neil Patrick Harris on How I Met Your Mother, Cherry Jones on 24 , Lily Tomlin on Damages ). It’s difficult to make a serious point of any kind when your thesis is misguided. What do you think about gay actors in straight roles? Do you have any problem taking them seriously?

Jennifer Hudson, Leona Lewis’ ‘Sex And The City 2’ Duet Hits Internet

Uplifting ballad ‘Love Is Your Color’ is first single from the May 25 soundtrack. By Jocelyn Vena Jennifer Hudson Photo: Jeffrey Mayer/ WireImage Jennifer Hudson and Leona Lewis offer some hope to the lovesick Carrie Bradshaws of the world with their new duet “Love Is Your Color,” which hit the Internet this week. The song is featured on the star-studded “Sex and the City 2” soundtrack , out May 25. In the first “SATC” flick, Hudson not only played Carrie Bradshaw’s assistant but she also had the song “All Dressed in Love” on the soundtrack. And though Sarah Jessica Parker confirmed that the Oscar winner doesn’t have a cameo in the May 27 sequel, Hudson’s can enjoy her and Lewis on the midtempo ballad. “Love is your color/ It makes you shine,” the girls sing in the chorus. “Sometimes it’s hard to cope/ Long as you always know to show your color/ It comes from inside/ Everything else is black and white/ Love is your color.” The soundtrack also features the cast of the flick Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon, performing the Helen Reddy tune “I Am Woman.” The soundtrack also includes previously released songs, such as Alicia Keys’ “Empire State of Mind (Part II) Broken Down” and Erykah Badu’s “Window Seat.” The uplifting, empowering songs of the soundtrack seem to fit right in line with the “black-and-white road movie” feeling that Parker says is prevalent in “SATC 2.” “We’re hoping that it’s fun and light,” she said, contrasting it to the melancholy first movie. “It feels like a souffl

Jessica Alba’s Mom Ass Crack of the Day

Here are some pictures of Jessica Alba playing mom to her kid since she is a mom now…not that you even remember who Jessica Alba is because she’s wronged you by taking the pregnancy plunge and quickly became insignificant….. Which is crazy because her career relied on being the young, hot, half spic pussy who didn’t have a kid so everyone wanted a piece of, fantasizing about trying to give her a kid, but she let her emotions get the best of her and figured she had already made enough money if her career would end and knew she could afford to fade into obscurity if that was the worse case scenario, as long as she was locked into her man who was going to leave her prior to the pregnancy for life, but she is the kind of cunt who probably had an ego that didn’t even let her believe that her career would ever dry up, I mean she was the MTV award winner of best actor at least 10 times….i Either way, like the hot moms on my street who worked back into their stripper bodies, bending their stripper bodies in a variety of hot positions while tending to their half-black stripper offspring, I like to watch but what do you don’t see in these pictures is her violated vagina lips dragging on the city sidewalk….she’s probably thanking god for pants…but I know I’m not… Pics via Bauer
