Lady Gaga made a surprise appearance at the International Emmys last night, presenting an award to American Idol executive producer Nigel Lythgoe. The British producer was given with honorary Founders Award. Gaga praised Lythgoe, her longtime collaborator who also produces So You Think You Can Dance , as someone who’s “always helped to nurture and foster [her] ideas, no matter how crazy or demographic-unfriendly they may have been. “He always spoke poetically about the pursuit of widening the boundaries of love and acceptance in TV,” the socially-conscious singer told the crowd. Lythgoe hailed Gaga, who has performed on Idol and guest-judged on SYTYCD , as “the most creatively talented woman in show business right now.” Not to mention the hardest working! Earlier in the day, the singer cut the ribbon for her new Gaga’s Workshop, a 5,500-square foot retail display at New York’s flagship Barney’s location. She was also honored for her LGBT advocacy yesterday and has a Thanksgiving special – A Very Gaga Thanksgiving – hitting the air on ABC Thursday. [Photo: WENN.com]
Producer Hit-Boy is especially excited about the Throne performing the single multiple times during shows. By Rob Markman, with reporting by Matt Elias Jay-Z and Kanye West Photo: Getty Images Jay-Z and Kanye West might give it up for Paris on their Watch the Throne single, but the international party anthem is now #1 in the U.S. Last week, “N—as in Paris” snagged the top spot on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop chart. Producer Hit-Boy couldn’t be more ecstatic, especially considering that he initially submitted Jay and ‘Ye other records that at the time seemed to be bigger than “Paris.” “The crazy thing about the ‘Paris’ record is that record just came out of nowhere, pretty much,” Hit-Boy told MTV News last week. “I did other records that were talked about being singles and all types of stuff, so I was hyped over those records.” Instead, the superstar duo chose to run with “N—as in Paris,” a brash celebration of success over a bouncy beat, mashed up with Will Ferrell sound bites . Though it was Hit-Boy who came up with the initial version of the track, he credits ‘Ye with the addition of the former “SNL” funnyman. “Genius. That’s just the genius that ‘Ye is. He always comes up with these ideas that just takes music to a whole ‘nother level,” Hit-Boy gushed. “Just something that’s never been done before.” Ferrell was also pretty excited about being included on the song. “I was completely flattered when they asked if they could sample me into the song,” Ferrell told MTV News about the track’s “Blades of Glory” quotes. “And when I heard it for the first time, I just started to laugh because it felt so surreal. But I really did like the song.” Not only is “Paris” killing the radio, but while on tour, Hov and Yeezy perform the fan favorite multiple times in a single night. During the tour’s opening night on October 28 in Atlanta, the duo rocked the single twice; the next night they performed it three times. When Hit-Boy caught one of the two Madison Square Garden shows in New York at the beginning of November, he was blown away hearing his track repeatedly.”It was amazing,” he said. “I’ve never heard of that being done before, like a song being performed multiple times. That made me feel super special.” What do you think of “Paris”? Let us know in the comments!

Legendary Boxer, Joe Frazier died last night after a severe battle with Liver cancer (it was only days ago that we caught wind of his condition). Smokin’ Joe was an Olympic and Undisputed World Heavyweight boxing champion. His career lasted from 1965 to 1976, with a brief comeback in 1981. He is an inductee of both the International Boxing Hall of Fame and the World Boxing Hall of Fame. He was rated one of the 10 “Greatest Boxers Of All time” by the International Boxing Research Organization. Joe Frazier faced Muhammad Ali in a match called the “Thrilla In Manila,” which was the third and final match between he and Ali. It is regarded as the “Fight Of The Century.” “The world has lost a great champion. I will always remember Joe with respect and admiration. My sympathy goes out to his family and loved ones” said Ali. Boxing Great Joe Frazier Fighting Liver Cancer [VIDEO]
What in the fawk is going on, Tibet and China??? A Buddhist nun in southwest China has died after setting herself on fire, the 11th Tibetan — and second nun — to self-immolate since March. The death of the nun, identified as Qiu Xiang, was reported by state-run Xinhua and confirmed by exile groups. The 35-year old set herself on fire at a road crossing in Dawu County, in the Ganzi region of Sichuan Province, the South China Morning Post said, citing Xinhua. It was unclear why she killed herself, though Tibetan campaign groups say it was in protest against Chinese rule. But China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs claimed the incident related to “pro-Tibetan independence forces” overseas. “Everyone knows that nowadays, except for the very few evil cults and extremist forces, all religions advocate respect for human life and oppose violence,” said spokesperson Hong Lei. “It is a challenge to the moral bottom line of all human beings if, instead of condemning the extreme act of self-immolation, some people are hyping or instigating it.” According to the International Campaign for Tibet (ICT), which advocates Tibetan independence, Palden Choetso — Qiu’s Tibetan name — called for freedom and the return from exile of the Dalai Lama, the Tibetan spiritual leader, as she was burning. London-based Free Tibet also confirmed the incident. Her body was then taken by fellow nuns into the Ganden Choeling nunnery in Tawu, the ICT said. Six of the 11 Tibetans — all monks or former monks — who have set themselves ablaze died from their injuries. Most of the suicide attempts occurred in Aba Prefecture and the Kirti monastery, also in Sichuan, which has become a focal point for ethnic Tibetans angry at the erosion of their culture. Last month, a nun in Ngaba County, Sichuan Province, became the first Tibetan woman known to have killed herself. Free Tibet said Tenzin Wangmo, 20, died outside the Dechen Chokorling Nunnery. The State Administration for Religious Affairs in Beijing told CNN they were not aware of the incident. Activists and exiled Tibetans say the disturbing acts reflect an increasingly repressive environment under Beijing’s control. “The incidents are a clear indication of the genuine grievances of the Tibetans and their sense of deep resentment and despair over the prevailing conditions in Tibet,” said new Tibetan leader in exile, Lobsang Sangay, in quotes carried by Free Tibet. “It is therefore of the utmost urgency that every possible effort be made to address the underlying root causes of Tibetan grievances and resentment.” Yikes. Yeah, y’all need to work that out. We can’t even imagine feeling like this is the only way to bring attention to a cause. Source More On Bossip!
