#OprahWinfrey #LadyGaga #SexualAssaultSurvivors #SexualViolence #MentalHealth Oprah Winfrey  interviewed  Lady Gaga  about mental health to kick off her first national arena tour in five years. The lengthy chat between the singer and the talk show titan, which took place on Saturday in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is a part of  Oprah’s 2020 Vision: Your Life in Focus tour , presented by Weight Watchers Reimagined. During their hour-long discussion, Oprah and Gaga discussed everything from managing her fibromyalgia to her rumored relationship with  A Star Is Born  co-star Bradley Cooper. On dealing with fibromyalgia, Gaga revealed to Oprah that even during their conversation, she was in “head-to-toe pain.” “What’s interesting about it is that I’ve found through neuropsych research and my relationship with my doctors that fibromyalgia can be treated through mental health therapy,” Gaga told Oprah. “And mental health is a medical condition, it sho...

“I used to walk down the street like I was a fucking star,”  Lady Gaga  told  Rolling Stone  for  her first cover story  in 2009. She was talking about her state of mind before her big breakthrough the year prior, but by the time she spoke to  RS , Gaga didn’t need to pretend. She had become a bona fide megastar and an heir to the pop throne, just like the Madonnas, Janets, and Britneys before her. And it was all thanks to the self-fulfilling prophecy of her debut album, boldly titled  The Fame . Prior to  The Fame , Gaga was languishing in New York’s Lower East Side as just another hopeful. The Manhattan-born Stefani Germanotta dropped out of NYU, where she studied music and would perform piano ballads at the legendary, nearby Bitter End. She embedded herself in the club scene, launching Lady Gaga and the Starlight Revue with Lady Starlight. The pair’s pop-burlesque show paid tribute to the Seventies and helped to mold Gaga’s onstage pe...

#LG6  #LadyGaga  Lady Gaga has something cooking – but it sure isn’t a baby. The newly-minted Oscar winner shut down pregnancy rumors and confirmed she’s got a new album in the works in one fell swoop Tuesday on Twitter. “Rumors I’m pregnant? Yeah, I’m pregnant with #LG6,” she wrote. The hashtag refers to the fact that the new record will be her sixth studio album, the follow-up to 2016’s Joannethis link opens in a new tab, which reached No. 1 on the Billboard charts and featured hit singles like “Million Reasons.” Rumors I’m pregnant? Yeah, I’m pregnant with #LG6 — Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) March 12, 2019 By RACHEL DESANTIS  March 13, 2019 

#LadyGaga #SurvivingRKelly #RKelly Public pressure is mounting against R. Kelly in the wake of the Lifetime network's six-part TV docuseries Surviving R. Kelly , which premiered last week. On Wednesday, protesters gathered outside his Chicago studio — and, on Twitter, pop star Lady Gaga apologized for a collaboration with Kelly. At large, the music industry has equivocated for years about the decades of allegations against Kelly. The R&B star, who has denied all accusations, was acquitted on 14 counts of child pornography in 2008. Through dozens of interviews, Surviving R. Kelly lays out those allegations, which include sexual and physical abuse. Late last night, Lady Gaga posted a lengthy note on Twitter apologizing for a 2013 duet with Kelly and vowing to see it removed from streaming services. The song was called "Do What U Want"; the two performed it together multiple times, including at the American Music Awards and on Saturday Night Live. View imag...

From Halle -loo to Hollywood, three-time RuPaul’s Drag Race eliminee Shangela is sashaying proof you don’t need a crown to hone a royal strut. She made a name for herself in 2011, popping out of a Tiffany box and into the reality competition show’s third cast of competing queens, among which she’d ultimately finish in sixth place. Now, nearly a decade later, the 36-year-old is about to pop off at the box office at the top of her game with a scene-stealing role as the drag mother to Lady Gaga’s bar-singing budding superstar, Ally, in Bradley Cooper’s directorial debut A Star Is Born .  ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Shangela, it’s so great to speak with you. We  can’t get rid of you! SHANGELA:  Baby, I’m back again! That’s what I always do: I come back. I just keep popping up everywhere, honey. But no one’s complaining. You’re at the top of your game on this huge tour and starring in this huge film with  lots of Oscar buzz , so I think I speak for everyone who was with ...

The “A Star Is Born” soundtrack is a star in its own right. Sources watching retail reports come in from the album’s first five days of sales say it’s expected to debut with more than 200,000 copies sold in its first week, not accounting for streaming or other forms of consumption. Official figures won’t be announced till Sunday. But if those numbers hold up, it would be the biggest week in pure album sales for the soundtrack to a movie musical since “Frozen” in 2014. A figure over 200,000 would also give “A Star Is Born” easily the best opening tally for any soundtrack in 2018, surpassing another Interscope release that currently holds that title, “Black Panther: The Album.” The album’s success is vindicating the strategy to withhold all of the music — with the exception of a single, “Shallow” — until the day of the movie’s release last Friday. That plan may have come about primarily from a desire to keep the songs as surprises for moviegoers as the tunes pop up in key emotional ...

It is far easier to forgive a film for a weak first half than a weak second half. The films I’ve been seeing at Venice this week almost all pass the two-hour mark — a lot of big, long movies that beg a joke about the nearly all-male competition lineup that I am just going to let you make for yourself. But it should be noted that some have had an easier time sustaining themselves through that run time than others. Two of the most anticipated titles of the festival had their premieres on Friday, and you could feel the security tighten on the Lido in preparation for Lady Gaga’s plumage to land on the red carpet (it was not a victimless frenzy). The first half of A Star Is Born, Bradley Cooper’s remake of Hollywood’s favorite story it tells itself, are among the most exhilarating of any film you’ll see this year; unabashedly wish-fulfillment porn but through an electrically intimate, contemporary lens. Lady Gaga, famously made-under in her feature film debut, is Ally, a food service emp...
