Lady Gaga Rocks Fans With Monster Ball Performance

‘I swear it was the best show I’ve ever gone to!’ fan exclaims of Atlantic City showcase. By Shawn Adler Lady Gaga performs in Atlantic City on Saturday Photo: Tom Briglia/ WireImage Mother Monster might have been the one on stage Saturday night (February 19) belting out numbers at the top of her lungs, but it was the Little Monsters in the audience who reached impossibly loud volumes for their hero, Lady Gaga. And they did it outside the arena. “I swear it was the best show I’ve ever gone to!” a fan screamed to MTV News outside of Boardwalk Hall arena in Atlantic City, where Gaga had just finished her Monster Ball performance. “I was waiting for it!” “I loved it!” fan Sandy Kutsu gushed at alarming decibels. “It was my second time!” Generally sticking to her Monster Ball format, Gaga nevertheless had some new tricks and treats in store for her appreciative audience, including a performance of “Born This Way” (“She did ‘Born This Way’!” a fan exclaimed!) during a second encore, just one day after the single was named the fastest-selling single in the history of iTunes . “There was a little bit of new choreography, some new costuming. But other than that it was the Monster Ball we know and love,” fan Stephanie Botton explained. “I was in tears at ‘Born this Way.’ It was absolutely great.” The biggest surprise, however, might have been Gaga’s announcement during the show that she’d be back on tour next year with the “Born This Way Ball.” “How can one person do all that? I have no idea!” gushed fan Kaitlin Donahue. For fans, the tour surely can’t come quickly enough. “She’s changed my life,” Botton said. “It was awesome!” Related Photos Lady Gaga Lights Up Atlantic City Related Artists Lady Gaga

‘Jersey Shore’ High Five: Ronnie Teaches Us How Not To Apologize

Sammi and Ronnie’s relationship dies a 30-minute-long death in latest episode. By Jim Cantiello Ronnie on Thursday’s episode of “Jersey Shore” Photo: MTV Ever wish you could watch a snuff film about the death of a relationship? You’re in luck. Check out the embedded video to catch my five favorite moments of this week’s intense “Jersey Shore.” 5. Boardwalking While blowing off steam on the boardwalk, Ronnie and Pauly D walked by Sammi and Deena. Turns out Sam’s eyesight is as good as her taste in men: As Ronnie passes by with Pauly, Sammi asks Deena, “Was he with a girl? I think he was with a girl!” Ok, OK, in Sammi’s defense, Pauly D does look exactly like the sister from “Dinosaurs.” 4. How Not to Apologize, Part I It’s been about two seconds since we’ve last watched Sammi and Ronnie rehash the crap that went down in Miami. Will the 9 millionth time be any different? Let’s find out! Sammi: “How could you sit there and look me in the face, watch me cry, lie to my face?” Ron: “I have enough respect and love for you to f—ing admit what i did was f—ing wrong and is shameful and disrespectful … ” Whoa, whoa, whoa. Did Ronnie just officially apologize? Ron: ” … You’re so f—ing dumb and hardheaded that you can’t even admit what you did to me in Atlantic City was wrong, what you did to me at Jersey Shore was wrong. Be a woman and man up for once. I had a reason to sh– on you in Miami. Realize that.” And that was how not to apologize, brought to you by RonRon Juice. “RonRon Juice: ‘Roid rage in a bottle™.” 3. The Fight Freshly broken up — yes, they broke up — Ronnie and Sammi’s fighting escalated to insaaaane new heights. Did anyone else want to cry uncle every 30 seconds this episode? Congratulations, Sharon Stone in the third hour of “Casino”: You are no longer the most hysterical woman I’ve ever seen on my television! 2. How Not to Apologize, Part II Sammi retaliated by skanking it up at a club with a dude who belonged on HotGuysWhoLookLikeLesbians.com, and Ronnie wasn’t havin’ it. So he retaliated by trashing all of Sammi’s crap, including her glasses. Dude, come on, now. Grow the f— up. And that brings us to yet another installment of “How Not to Apologize.” Ron: “You f—ing disrespected me in front of my face. What i did in Miami, at least I had enough respect for you to do it to you while you’re not around.” Yes, Ronnie. Nothing says respect like three-way kissing two girls at a club behind your current girlfriend’s back and then stumbling home and having sex with your girlfriend the same night. Oh. And reality-TV cameras are documenting all of it. That is the epitome of respect. 1. Sneaker Pimp Despite all the drama, which ended with Sammi leaving the house, Pauly D kept his priorities straight. Pauly D: “I’m over here trying to clean my sneakers. I can’t concentrate! All this fighting! They’re talking about relationships, my sneakers are dirty!” Pauly D, for making me laugh in the midst of one of the biggest, most upsetting blowups in reality-TV history, I salute you. And your bottle of 409. Don’t miss “Jersey Shore,” airing Thursday nights at 10 p.m. ET on MTV. Related Videos ‘Jersey Shore’ High Five Highlights

Alice Cooper, Neil Diamond Among Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Inductees

Tom Waits, Dr. John also made the list. By Gil Kaufman Alice Cooper Photo: Kevork Djansezian/ Getty Images This year’s list of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees offers a musical cornucopia of styles. From the New Orleans boogie woogie voodoo soul of Dr. John to Tom Waits’ boho preacher-poet performance art, Neil Diamond’s overwrought pop histrionics, Darlene Love’s girl-group R&B and Alice Cooper’s goth/glam rock theater of the macabre, the Hall of Fame class of 2011 is set to take the stage for their honors on March 14 at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York. With the exception of Waits, all of the inductees are first-time nominees. While all are probably popping corks now, that means, of course, that a number of younger acts didn’t make the list. These include multiple nominees the Beastie Boys and LL Cool J, first-time nominee Bon Jovi and veteran acts J. Geils Band, Donna Summer and Chic. Cooper, 62, whose onstage theatrics include macabre set pieces such as guillotines and gallows, told Billboard that he felt it was about time his band got a nod. “I’ve always felt the same way about this whole thing,” said Cooper, whose classic hits includes “I’m Eighteen” and “School’s Out,” teenage rebellion anthems for the ages recorded by a band he started 45 years ago in high school. “I kind of sat back and said, ‘It will happen eventually.’ ” Artists are eligible for induction 25 years after the release of their first single or album. Diamond told Rolling Stone that he was proud to join the institution. “I think it’s great. I’m happy that they recognized me and my work,” he said. “Any club that has Chuck Berry and Little Richard and the Everly Brothers is a club that I want to be a part of.” The 69-year-old crooner best known for hits such as “Cherry, Cherry,” “Sweet Caroline” and “Song Sung Blue” was not nearly as surprised by the honor as Love, who told the magazine that she was on her way to play a private Christmas party in Atlantic City when she found out. “I was just stunned for a minute. … I was laughing and crying at the same time. I’m still on cloud nine,” said Love, who is best known for her work with imprisoned “Wall of Sound” producer Phil Spector on such early 1960s hits as “He’s a Rebel” and “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home).” Related Artists Alice in Chains Neil Diamond

Another Week, Another Angelina Pivarnick Fight

Angelina Pivarnick, a.k.a. the annoying girl who bailed on both seasons of Jersey Shore so far and calls herself the Kim Kardashian of Staten Island, got in a fight. We know. Stunning news right there. The irony is that she was supposed to get into a fight – boxing style – last night, but the dustup we’re reporting was not that altercation. It happened before. Go away . Angeliner was tossed out of a New Jersey nightclub before she even got to throw down in a celebrity boxing bout against Kerry Schwartz in Atlantic City, N.J. She got into it with an unidentified chick at the Taj Mahal before she ever stepped in the ring, and was questioned by cops, but not arrested as a result. Her lawyer insists that “Angelina is innocent of any allegations.” Except that her “I’m Hot” single is the best/worst song ever. She’s guilty in the best way there.

Jay-Z Bringing His 40/40 Club To Airports

Rapper’s sports bar may end up in as many as 20 airports. By James Dinh Jay-Z Photo: Neil Mockford/ Getty Images If you’ve never visited New York City, Las Vegas or Atlantic City, then you have yet to visit Jay-Z’s 40/40 Club . But fear not! On Tuesday, it was announced that Hova has inked a deal that will bring the celebrity hot spot to select airports throughout the U.S. Alongside his business partners, Juan and Desiree Perez, the hip-hop heavyweight united with Delaware North Companies Travel Hospitality Services for the deal, which may put the club in as many as 20 major U.S. airports. “We are thrilled to partner with the 40/40 Club, to bring a stylish sports bar and lounge to airports across the country,” Robert Stanton, vice president of business development of Delaware North Companies, said in a statement. “From the personalized, one-of-a-kind jerseys on the wall, to every sports game you can think of on the television screens, the club will bring a new experience that we are sure travelers will welcome.” Co-owner Perez is also looking forward to the joint partnership and said she hopes to bring the club’s “first-class experience” to travelers. “We want to see our club grow and to bring those experiences to travelers,” she said. “A partnership with Delaware North will do just that.” Back in 2003, the venue’s first location opened up in Manhattan, New York. However, the sports lounge is set to close temporarily from April to July 2011 to undergo a complete location renovation. In addition to expanding his empire, the MC recently scored a spot on the New York Times Best Sellers list with “Decoded.” The book, the rapper’s first, is a memoir that also explains his lyrics with the help of co-author Dream Hampton.

HBOobs on Boardwalk Empire’s Second Episode of the Day

The second episode of the Atlantic City show on HBO was on last night and obviously there was a little tit, cuz that’s the whole point of HBO, and we like it, cuz otherwise, people would just watch Everybody Loves Raymond reruns or some shit instead… I don’t like commitment, so I don’t like TV because I get sucked into shows and I don’t have a TV to keep on top of the shit and I have to go to my creepy neighbor’s house to watch….so I realized it’s better to just ignore the shit….and wait for the tit scenes to hit the internet the next day…as that’s all that’s really important to me anyway… I don’t know the cast, but you can IMDB the shit and figure it out on your own…and if you are interested, here’s the Nudity on Boardwalk Empire from last week…
