Lady Gaga Photos .” We’ll be redirecting you shortly… The artist has not come out with any new music in awhile, yet has still managed to remain very much in the news. For the aforementioned engagement, of course. But also for positively nailing a tribute to The Sound of Music at the 2015 Academy Awards. Gaga then took the Internet and the television world by shocked storm when she announced she’d be headlining American Horror Story: Hotel , marking her first starring role on the small screen. In many ways, it appears as if Lady Gaga is making a transition; from the wild and weird star who burst on to the screen (see gallery of photos above) many years ago to a more mainstream singer and actress. She’s already established herself as a major name. She no longer needs to be super creepy and eccentric in order to stand out. Now she can let folks focus on her talent. But stand out in some way Lady Gaga always will, and for that, we honor the A-Lister. Please join us in wishing Lady Gaga a very happy birthday and also in being so very jealous of her: that Taylor Kinney is quite the catch! 21 Left Handed Celebrities 1. Lady Gaga View Photo Lady Gaga might be pointing to her engagement ring from Taylor Kinney here, but she could just as well be showing off the fact that she’s left-handed. 2. Barack Obama View Photo The POTUS, Barack Obama, is but one of many Presidents who are (or were) left-handed. 3. Justin Bieber View Photo Justin Bieber is left-handed. It’s apparently his preferred hand for stogie smoking. 4. Angelina Jolie View Photo One half of famous couple Brangelina, Angelina Jolie is a leftie. Advertisement A message from our sponsor. 5. Prince William View Photo Prince William is left-handed like his dad. Since this seems to be genetic, maybe the Royal Baby will follow in their footsteps. 6. Sarah Jessica Parker View Photo Sarah Jessica Parker is a southpaw! That means her alter ego Carrie Bradshaw was too! 7. Julia Roberts View Photo Julia Roberts’ dominant hand is the left one. She probably would’ve grabbed the Oscar with it if she’d won. 8. Bill Clinton View Photo Bill Clinton, grandfather-to-be, is a leftie like so many other Presidents have been Advertisement A message from our sponsor. 9. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen View Photo While it’s typical for only ONE twin in a pair to be left-handed, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are BOTH lefties. 10. Tom Cruise View Photo Tom Cruise is a leftie. He’s also dating Laura Prepon. Those two things probably aren’t related at all. 11. Oprah Winfrey View Photo If being left handed in any way helped Oprah Winfrey become so successful, then we want to be left handed too. 12. Phil Mickelson View Photo Apparently, being left handed gives people a predisposition to being good at golf. That’s the case for Phil Mickelson. Advertisement A message from our sponsor. 13. Demi Moore View Photo Demi Moore had three babies with ex-husband Bruce Willis. Both of them are left-handed, so there’s a good chance their girls are, too. 14. Bill Gates View Photo Billionaire computer genius Bill Gates is a leftie. Turns out being right-brained is really great for guys like him. 15. Matt Lauer View Photo Matt Lauer keeps his mic-hand strong…errr…his left hand. Because he’s left-handed. 16. Jon Stewart View Photo Jon Stewart emphatically uses his left hand to wave around his pen during tapings of The Daily Show. It’s become a thing of his. Advertisement A message from our sponsor. 17. Celine Dion View Photo Celine Dion is a Canadian leftie. Not that there’s any correlation. She’s Canadian AND a leftie. 18. Nicole Kidman View Photo Australian stunner and wife to Keith Urban, Nicole Kidman is a southpaw from Down Under. 19. Seth Rogan View Photo Seth Rogan is a southie! Wonder if that’s the hand he uses to toke or if he keeps that one free for mocking KimYe? 20.

Black McDonald’s Employee Says Managers Said Put Mustard On Burns More than two dozen low-wage McDonald’s workers filed health and safety complaints against the fast-food chain on Monday, alleging that understaffing and time pressures in stores have led to burns, falls and other injuries, according to the worker group representing them. Via HuffPo reports: The 28 complaints, involving stores in 18 cities, were filed with the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the relevant state agencies tasked with ensuring safe workplaces. The workers submitted them with the support of Fight for $15, the union-backed labor coalition that’s been agitating for a $15 minimum wage and union recognition in the industry. OSHA confirmed to The Huffington Post that it received the federal complaints Monday. One Chicago worker, Brittney Berry, alleged that she was so harried one day she slipped and caught her arm on the grill, leading her to be hospitalized and suffer nerve damage. She said she was advised by managers to treat the burn with a condiment. “My managers kept pushing me to work faster,” Berry, who was arrested last year in an act of civil disobedience against McDonald’s, said in a statement. “The managers told me to put mustard on it, but I ended up having to get rushed to the hospital in an ambulance. This is exactly why workers at McDonald’s need union rights.” The vast majority of McDonald’s stores are operated by franchisees rather than the fast-food company, but in a Monday statement, Fight for $15 argued that the responsibility to keep workers safe ultimately falls on McDonald’s. “McDonald’s sets minimal health and safety standards for all franchisees, but even these modest measures are not properly enforced,” the group said. “The company watches like a hawk nearly every aspect of its franchisees’ business operations via regular inspections, but it too often ignores health and safety problems.” “McDonald’s and its independent franchisees are committed to providing safe working conditions for employees in the 14,000 McDonald’s Brand U.S. restaurants,” McDonald’s spokeswoman Heidi Barker Sa Shekhe said in a statement. “We will review these allegations. It is important to note that these complaints are part of a larger strategy orchestrated by activists targeting our brand and designed to generate media coverage.” The safety complaints are indeed part of a broader shaming campaign that’s brought unprecedented scrutiny to the working conditions in fast food. For more than two years, Fight for $15, which is funded by the Service Employees International Union, has organized a highly successful series of strikes by workers at McDonald’s, KFC, Taco Bell and other restaurants in cities across the country. Much of that attention has been focused on McDonald’s. Discuss….

In case you were blissfully unaware (like most of the television viewing public), Glee is still a show that’s on a major network somehow. While most of the series’ formerly obsessed fans abandoned Glee after one of the many times it jumped the shark, Fox granted the long-slumping ex-hit a stay of execution so that it could properly wrap things up…and, of course, cash in on the popularity of Frozen. Lea Michele: “Let It Go” Yes, we’ve known for months that Lea Michele would sing “Let It Go” during the Glee’s sixth and final season, and unlike so much of what the show’s writers have done in recent years, it makes perfect sense. Not only does the Broadway-show-stopper style of the tune make it a perfect fit for both Glee and Michele’s singing voice, but “Let It Go” was originally sung by Idina Menzel , who plays Lea’s mom on the show. At the very least, it makes a lot more sense than Once Upon a Time’s co-opting of Frozen’s characters , which was an idea that seemed to spring from a writer’s meeting in which someone pointed out that Disney owns ABC and people really like Frozen. Glee has a talented cast, and depending on what you look for in a show, that might be reason enough to tune into the final season. Hey, if nothing else, you know the series finale will be a five-hanky affair. Watch Glee online in order to catch up in time for the season 6 premiere on January 9. Lea Michele Solo Songs

Joe Giudice is due in court today to be sentenced for possession of a fraudulent driver’s license. It’s small potatoes compared to the fraud charges that have already gotten Giudice sentenced to 41 months in prison, but even so, one might expect his wife to join him in court. Instead, sources say Teresa was a no show because she will be meeting with a divorce attorney to begin the process of ending her 14-year marriage to Joe. Rumors that Joe and Teresa are headed for divorce have been circulating for months, but insiders say that we’ll no longer have to speculate as to the state of the Giudice’s marriage: Teresa is intent on calling it quits. Reportedly, the Giudices have been living in separate homes ever since they were both sentenced to serve prison time at a hearing last month. Teresa is said to be fed up with Joe’s drinking and negligent parenting, and friends say she continues to blame her husband for the fact that she’ll have to report to prison on January 5. Of course, despite signing a plea deal, Teresa is still trying to get out of her sentence , and further proving that she really doesn’t understand how the law works, she’ll reportedly demand that her divorce lawyer also help her appeal her conviction. “Teresa really likes [the attorney], and will likely hire to handle the appeal of her looming prison sentence,” says a source. “She is going with her gut instincts on this one.” That should turn out well. At least she’ll fit right in when she checks into the slammer early next year, as these classic moments over the years prove … 11 Teresa Giudice GIFs That Should Worry Her Fellow Inmates 1. Table Flipping Fiend Teresa Giudice is not gonna take any crap. Her table-flipping reputation will precede her in prison, thanks to The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 1. You can also follow the link to watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey online to relive the many times Teresa’s gut instincts have let her down in the past. Emphasis on many.
