Lady Gaga’s on Rolling Stone – Cover and Quotes

Can’t get enough Lady Gaga? Well then, you’re in luck as she once again graces the cover of ‘Rolling Stone‘ for the July issue of the magazine, showing off her booty in a skimpy black thong. The pop princess is nearly-nude wearing just her thong and a machine gun bra which she has worn previously in her music video for “Alejandro.” The epic and controversial video has tallied a remarkable 25 million views in just two weeks since it’s premiere on VEVO.

Per Rolling Stone:

In the most extensive interview the pop star has ever given about the breakup that inspired her transformation from Germanotta to Gaga, her complex relationship with her beloved father and the music on her next album, Lady Gaga tells Rolling Stone contributing editor Neil Strauss art is life and not being fierce isn’t an option. “When I wake up in the morning, I feel just like any other insecure 24-year-old girl,” she says. “Then I say, ‘Bitch, you’re Lady Gaga, you get up and walk the walk today.’”

Inside, Gaga discusses her insecurities and modeling herself after the King of Pop.

“If I were to ever, God forbid, get hurt onstage and my fans were screaming outside of the hospital, waiting for me to come out, I’d come out as Gaga,” she says, adding that she models her celebrity on Michael Jackson. “Michael got burned, and he lifted that glittered glove so damn high so his fans could see him, because he was in the art of show business. That’s what we do. I don’t even drink water onstage in front of anybody, because I want them to focus on the fantasy of the music.”

Lady Gaga also discusses her new album, which she plans to release early next year. She plans to announce the title of her new album at midnight on New Year’s Eve.

“I think I’m gonna get the album title tattooed on me and put out the photo,” she says. “I’ve been working on it for months now, and I feel very strongly that it’s finished right now. It came so quickly. Some artists take years; I don’t. I write music every day.”

She hinted that her new music was likely to be more serious than her hit debut, which turned her into one of the pop world’s biggest stars.

“Why are we still talking about ‘Don’t ask, don’t tell’?” she says. “It’s like, what f*****g year is it? It makes me crazy! And I have been for three years baking cakes — and now I’m going to bake a cake that has a bitter jelly. The message of the new music is now more bitter than it was before. Because the sweeter the cake, the more bitter the jelly can be.”

The Fame Monster” featuring Alejandro is available now on iTunes. The full Rolling Stone article will hit newsstands tomorrow, June 23rd.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie ‘Definitely Split’

brangelina

Nothing says trouble in paradise like buying your own home, without your partner. Brad Pitt bought the house next door he shares with Angelina Jolie for $1.1 million to help him sort out their split. The home is a 3,232-square foot 20’s era home that has two bedrooms & two bathrooms, a bar area, and even has a secret cave!

Per DailyMail:

‘The house oozes character,’ said a source. ‘Brad has had his eye on it for some time but he decided now was the right time to buy because he wanted a place to call his own. He needs somewhere quiet that doesn’t have memories of Angie and where he can be alone and think about what he does next.’

Author of the book “Brangelina,” Ian Halperin, had originally predicted the end of the famous couple and says that he himself has confirmed they have definitely split, speculating on how he feels the drama will unfold in the media over the next couple of weeks.

Per PopEater:

“My sources clearly say they’re estranged, they kept it quiet because they want to work out something conducive to the well being of the children and I think that’s a commendable way of dealing with it.”

“Either they confirm it, or they appear in the public shortly, probably in the next week, sending the public a message that the rumors are bogus. And then you’ll soon start to see more intensity in the stories, some in the mainstream press citing that they’ve definitely split, and that will happen in in the next few weeks.”

“I have confirmed from one person in the house and one of his closest friends that they have definitely split. And that’s split romantically. That doesn’t mean they don’t have business together, they’re still going to have joint custody of the children, but romantically it appears they’re estranged.”

Meanwhile, Pitt’s mother, who has made no secret of her preference of his first wife Jennifer Aniston to Jolie, is now trying to desperately help to save their relationship for the sake of their six children. She reportedly feels like she can really help the couple work out their problems and move forward together. It was recently reported that Pitt and Jolie – who have three adopted children as well as three biological kids – were heading for a split after signing a legal document which equally split their $330 million fortune and custody of their kids. However, sources close to the couple denied this and insisted “everything was fine” between them. Yet, no denial from the famous power-couple themselves. I guess time will tell for sure, but if I was a betting woman I would bet everything I have that on Halperin’s prediction. He did predict Michael Jacksons passing, after all!

Elton John Helps Eminem Overcome Drug Addiction

eminem 120509

Every once in a while, its nice to throw in a positive story into the mix! Elton John says he has been helping Eminem kick his drug habit for more than a year, who’s admitted publicly that he’s addicted to prescription pills – mostly Vicodin, Valium, and Ambien – and has taken as many as over 20 pills a day.

Per Guardian:

“I’ve been helping Eminem in the last 18 months and he is doing brilliantly,” he said, going on to refer to his own successful struggle with addiction. “When you give it up, you tend to think everybody else has given it up, but of course it is just as prevalent as it ever was. And nowadays pills, such as downers, are even more damaging.”

Eminem admitted in May right before the release of his album “Relpase” that he had been struggling with addiction. He went through rehab in 2005, but he almost died from a near-fatal overdose after an acquaintance gave several unidentified blue pills. A doctor later told Eminem those pills were actually methadone.

“[Elton] had a substance-abuse problem in the past. So when I first wanted to get sober, I called him, because he’s somebody in the business who can relate to the lifestyle and how hectic things can be,” Eminem told a Detroit newspaper last year. “He understands, like, the pressure and any other reasons that you wanna come up with for doing drugs.”

The two first met at the 2001 Grammys, becoming good friends despite several Eminem songs that had been criticized as homophobic. Elton also battled drugs and booze throughout his career but says he has been sober since the ’80s. He says he has counseled other celebrity addicts, including the late Michael Jackson, but says he doesn’t force his advice on anyone.

“I’m there if people want my help,” he said in the BBC interview that aired Saturday. “If people ask for help you tell them where to go but there’s no point advising people if they don’t want to do it.”

Glad to see that Eminem is getting his life together. No time for drugs when you have children depending on you. I have alot more respect for Elton John and the help that he’s giving him now. Think maybe someone should slip him Lindsay Lohan’s number?

Janet Jackson Blames Dr. Conrad Murray For Michaels’ Death

janet jackson 2 141109

Janet Jackson has kept quiet about the death of her brother Michael for close to five months, but now she breaks her silence and places the blame squarely on Dr. Conrad Murray. In an interview with ABC’s Robin Roberts, it comes as no surprise that Janet says she believes Dr. Murray was responsible for her brother’s death, working as Michael’s personal physician and admitting to giving propofol to the late pop icon. Jackson died from acute propofol intoxication, according to the L. A. Coroner’s Office, but Dr. Murray denies responsibility for his death claiming that he neither prescribed or administered anything to Jackson that should have killed him.

Per TMZ:

Janet stated, “He was the one that was administering … I think he is responsible.”

Murray was hired to treat Michael in the months before he died in June of a drug overdose, and is currently the main focus in a manslaughter investigation of the King of Pops death. Police have referred the case to prosecutors to determine if criminal charges should be filed. But Janet feels that in the very least Murray should no longer be allowed to practice medicine. Recounting the morning her brother died, Jackson says she was completely shocked when she learned of her brother’s death.

“I was at my house in New York. You know, another day. Another morning. And I get a call … [my assistant] said, ‘Your brother’s been taken to the hospital. It’s on CNN right now. I called everyone’s. There’s a line busy or — someone wasn’t picking up. I spoke to mother. I spoke to Tito. I spoke to my nephew Austin. I spoke to my sister La Toya. I told them to call me when they got to the hospital. And I remember thinking nobody’s calling me back, so I tried calling again, and that’s how I found out that he was no longer … I couldn’t believe it. It just didn’t ring true to me. It felt like a dream. It’s still so difficult for me to believe. It’s, you know, you have to accept what is. But it’s hard. You have to move on with your life. You have to accept what is and I understand that.”

You can’t administer the drug that killed him and not take some sort of responsibility when he dies from the injection of that drug. His defense is ridiculous. Hippocratic oath states first to ‘do no harm.’ Murray obviously did a lot of harm and should be locked up, not just have his license revoked. Janet Jackson’s full interview will air on ABC Wednesday night.

Celebrity Halloween Costumes

michael-jackson-halloween-costume-1

Halloween is only a month away, time to start shopping for a costume! This year, the “in” costumes are celebrity costumes that are surly to be in the likes of Marilyn Monroe, Elvis, Michael Jackson, and even Kate Gosselin. While stores are stocking up for the season, it might be a good idea to shop early as costumes such as Jackson’s are expected to be in high demand the last two weeks of October when the store business hits its peak selling period. Joe Pinzone, owner of New York’s Abracadabra Super Store, says that shoppers are looking for the “real deal” Jackson costumes.

Per PopEater:

“The sequined jacket, the pants, the whole suit, glitter socks. We got the whole outfit,” Pinzone says of his inventory.

He goes on to say that shoppers are looking more for the authentic looking costumes, willing to pay for the higher quality items rather than purchasing the more inexpensive items. Denise Dougherty Vinal, owner of the Dougherty’s Masquerade store in Syracuse, N.Y., also expects Michael Jackson costumes will the big hit this Halloween, with her store featuring the complete red leather ‘Beat It‘ costume with the curly dark wig.

No word on just how much these costumes in high demand are expected to set you back, but I’m sure the Jackson costumes will be selling like hotcakes this season! I’m sure the kiddos are even wanting to go as their favorite celebrity – I know mine are! So tell me HWDamers – what are you dressing up for as Halloween?

Among his family members and children, the small yet incredibly expensive ceremony was also attended by Elizabeth Taylor, Lisa Marie Presley, Chris Tucker, Macaulay Culkin, and his girlfriend, Mila Kunis.

Jackson’s three children placed a crown upon their father’s casket to signify his status as the King of Pop.

After parting words and gospel numbers, Jackson’s coffin was moved to the Grand Mausoleum where it will now remain.

Following the service, Jackson’s family issued the following statement via People:

Macaulay Culkin Fathers Michael Jackson’s Son – UPDATED

Apparently, no one can let Michael Jackson rest.

macauly-culkin-father

Now, the Sun is reporting that former child star and rarely heard from actor, Macaulay Caulkin is the father of Michael Jackson’s youngest son, Blanket.

Via Digital Spy:

“It is well known Jackson and Macaulay shared a unique bond. This isn’t just chitter-chatter, even Culkin suspects he’s Blanket’s father. Jackson and Culkin were best friends. He was one of the few people Jackson really trusted and Mack never let him down. Really, Jackson idolised him – that’s why he asked Mack to donate sperm. Deep down, I think he always wished Mack was his son. Creating Blanket was the next best thing.”

Culkin is the Godfather of Michael’s two eldest children, Prince Michael and Paris.

Unfortunately, Culkin could not be reached to make a comment on these allegations. He was too busy doing nothing.

UPDATED: I take a day off and the kid from “Home Alone” decides to father Michael Jackson’s baby. Oy. It appears that The Sun jumped the shark on this story. TMZ got a hold of Culkin’s rep and they poo-pooed on the story…

Here’s a shocker — Macaulay Culkin’s press agent claims the actor is not the biological father of Michael Jackson’s son Blanket.

The ridiculous story, which first appeared in The Sun this morning — and everywhere else 5 minutes later — explained how Culkin donated the sperm to create Blanket.

“The inquiries are too preposterous for us to even acknowledge.”

Michael Jackson Still Alive Video

Oy. I guess this was inevitable. A video allegedly showing the recently deceased Michael Jackson walking out of a coroners van after his passing has hit the net. A poster by the screen name of “LosAngelesCot24” on Live Leak states that he has video footage of Jackson hopping out of the vehicle after he was announced as dead. To him/her this is proof that Michael Jackson is still alive.

“This video shows that Michael was still alive after his dead body was transported to the Los Angeles Dept. of Coroner I checked the license plate number and it looks like the King of Pop is jumping out of the same van, his dead body has been in. I got the original video tape from a trustworthy source. I know him for years. And I am sure it’s real and Michael is alive.”

Let the conspiracy theory begin. I find it hard to believe some random guy just happened to have a video camera as this was supposedly taking place. I also need more proof than someone in black pants and a white top jumping out of a van. I am surprised he didn’t moon walk in wearing a red leather jacket and grabbing his crotch to try and convince of us of this nuttery.

This is nothing more than another Michael Jackson hoax kittens, and a bad one at that.
