Lady Gaga: 'I went bankrupt' and was '$3 million in debt' after extending my Monster Ball tour

There's plenty of perks that come with being one of the world's rising pop superstars, but not having to pay the bills isn't one of them.

"I actually went bankrupt after the first extension of The Monster Ball," Lady Gaga said in an interview with Stephen Fry for the Financial Times.
"And it was funny," she continued, "because I didn't know!"
Gaga described calling various people and asking, "Why is every­one saying I have no money? This is ridiculous; I have five No. 1 singles …"
"And they said, 'Well, you're $3 million in debt,' " she recounted.
At that point, the high costs associated with every revision made to her concert tour were paid for by Gaga herself.
"It's honestly true that money means nothing to me," she told Fry. "The only big things I've purchased are my dad's heart valve and a Rolls-Royce for my parents, for their anniversary."

he singer even explained that she bought the new car just so her dad would no longer have a "Lady Gaga" license plate, which caused him to get "followed everywhere"
"Other than that," she said, "I put everything in the show."
The extravagance – of everything from her stage décor to her costumes – isn't a frill that Gaga is willing to do away with anytime soon. It's art.
"I live halfway between reality and fantasy at all times because I choose to, and anyone can choose that," she explained. "I believe everybody has something so magical about themselves."
"Why, as a society, are we so afraid of magic? Why is magic synonymous with artifice? Why is the fantastic synonymous with a lie?" she wondered aloud.
"If art is a lie," she told Fry, "then I will tell that lie every day until it's f--king true."

Gaga struggles with exhaustion

Gaga struggles with exhaustion

Lady Gaga is constantly struggling to overcome a "fog" of exhaustion which "hovers over" her during her gruelling touring schedule.

The Poker Face hitmaker has been touring non-stop over the last 18 months with her Monster Ball shows and in early 2010, she sparked fears for her health by cancelling a number of concerts due to fatigue.

Gaga admits her constant tiredness is a serious concern, but she is determined to continue her punishing work routine for the sake of her fans.

In an interview with Sir Elton John for V magazine, she says, "At a certain point exhaustion becomes a state of being, and mentally I have to be strong and overcome it. It's like a cloud, a fog really that hovers over me. But in a way I will never ever escape it. Art is my whole life.

"The monsters (fans) are my medicine. They heal me, physically and emotionally, every night at the show. I feel God through their love. I worship little monsters. They're my religion."

Gaga named godmother to megastar baby

Elton John And David Furnish Confirm Lady Gaga As Godmother

This week Sir Elton John, 64, and husband David Furnish, 48, confirmed that superstar Lady Gaga is the godmother of their 4-month-old son, Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John.
During a "20/20" interview that aired Friday, host Barbara Walters asked the couple about their decision to select the controversial "Judas" singer for the special honor.
"A lot of people said, 'Oh, that's crazy,'" Elton revealed. "And they don't know her, and we do."
Elton suggested that the public not judge the singer born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta by her stage persona alone. "When you get to the real person underneath, there's a simple girl who loves her parents," he said.
Elton And David Open Up On Fatherhood
David anticipates Lady Gaga helping navigate Zachary's future interest in music. "Zachary's going to inherit an incredible musical legacy from his father one day, and she will be a good person to guide him through the ins and outs of the music business, 'cause she sure knows everything about the business now," he said.

Clearly, Lady Gaga is not the only celebrity ever picked to oversee the physical and spiritual well being of a child in the event the parents are no longer able to do so. The following is a list, compiled by Parade magazine, of other famous godparents. Elton reportedly has several godchildren himself, among them, Brooklyn and Romeo, the sons of Victoria and David Beckham. U2 frontman Bono is the godfather to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's twins, Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon. Sting and wife Trudie Styler accepted the honor to be godparents to Madonna and Guy Ritchie's son, Rocco. The late Michael Jackson was the godfather of Lionel Richie's famous daughter Nicole.

Aside from Gaga's good news this week, she also experienced backlashes when her manager denied Weird Al's initial requests to make a parody of "Born This Way" and when she responded in an angry rant to NME when the magazine compared "Born This Way" to Madonna's "Express Yourself." But there were more shocking news stories this week. Judges in the manslaughter hearing of Michael Jackson physician Conrad Murrary will allow autopsy photos of the king of pop to be used in court. Leann Rimes wed actor Eddie Cibrian, and Rihanna tied a chart record with the Supremes.
This was a great week for news. Be sure to check back in seven days for more water cooler talk. See you then.

Lady Gaga falls off piano on stage

Lady Gaga falls off piano on stage

Lady Gaga briefly misplaced her dignity at a show in Houston, Texas, after a stage stunt left her flat on her back.

The singer was perched on top of her piano, which also happened to be on fire, when she slipped on the tricky dismount, ending up underneath the keyboard.
She was performing the track 'You And I' as the fall happened, while wearing just a pair of vertiginous stilettos and underwear.

But playing the consummate professional, she continued the song without missing a beat, and didn't even refer to the fact that she had ended up under her own piano.
"It was in the middle of the show," said fan Eric Souklnary, who filmed the slip. "She was really high up and it looked really bad. I only just managed to keep the video steady.
"The crowd all saw it and I don't think anyone would have minded if she'd walked off the stage to get checked out by medics."

10 Facts About Justin Bieber

Even though he's a mere 16 years old, Justin Bieber has accomplished a startling amount in his young life. He has conquered the record charts, become an unparalleled Internet sensation, and claimed the hearts of seemingly every pre-teen girl on the planet. This weekend, the pop wunderkind and his perfectly coiffed hair seems set on conquering the box office as well with his 3-D concert movie “Justin Bieber: Never Say Never.” To mark the occasion of his possible total world domination, we’ve put together some facts you might not know about the Bieb.

-- Bieber was born on March 1, 1994. He shares a birthday with composer Ke$ha, Roger Daltry, Frederic Chopin, Harry Belafonte, and Lorenzo de’Medici.

-- In 2007, Justin Bieber entered a talent show in his hometown of Stratford, Ontario, and came in second. When his mom posted his performance on YouTube, he got the attention of producer Scooter Braun. Soon fame and fortune followed. No word on what happened to the guy who actually won the talent show.


-- Justin Bieber's music video "Baby" is the most viewed video on YouTube, clocking in, as of this writing, at 457, 701,649 views. That’s more than the population of the United States and Russia combined. At 914,000, it’s also the most "disliked" video on YouTube.

-- Justin Bieber’s net worth is about $65.5 million (and that’s bound go to up in the coming months). With that much money, he could buy approximately seven Faberge eggs, six 24-karat solid gold toilets, or a 29-year stay in the most expensive room at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas.

-- Justin’s signature hair style, which has been called The Swoop, The Shag, The Fringe, or simply, The Bieber, has inspired a generation of teenaged boys to obscure their eyes with their bangs. Vanessa Price, the stylist who invented his signature ‘do, claims that the teenaged pop star’s hair is “like silk.”

-- Justin Bieber reportedly uses up to 3% of Twitter’s traffic at any given moment. According to Klout.com, which measures these sorts of things, the Biebster has greater online influence than President Obama and the Dalai Lama.

-- Justin Bieber sells his own brand of nail polish for Nicole by OPI. The line, called the "One Less Lonely Girl" collection, was inspired by hits by the pop idol. Shades include Prized Possession Purple, Me + Blue, and Step 2 Beat of My Heart (which features heart-shaped glitter).

-- Bieber is reportedly terrified of elevators.

-- Justin Bieber currently stands at 5’ 3” tall. You would need 240,252 Justin Biebers stacked on top of each other to reach the moon. But it only takes one to reach the stars.

Justin Bieber also shaves. Really. In the video below, exclusive to Yahoo!, he talks about shaving, losing that talent show, and his upcoming concert movie.

Rihanna Welcoming Katy Perry To The Illuminati

“Illuminati want my mind, soul and body Secret society, tryin’ to keep they eye on me” – Illuminati Prodigy
“Make me King, as we move forward to a new world order” – Lose Yourself Eminem
All of these conspiracy theories really started with Robert Johnson, a blues musician back in the 30s who believed to have sold his soul to the Devil in order to become a famous star. Since then some people started believeing that there was some kind of evil deity involved in the music industry.

This commercial intended for German television has it all: checkerboard patterns everywhere, transhumanism, deshumanization, mind control, alter-personalities, Marilyn Monroe (the original Monarch sex kitten), the colors white, black and red, etc.
“We love to entertain you”. In other words, this is the kind the stuff that is supposed to entertain you.







MTV.com published an article about the ad and here’s an excerpt:

“Katy Perry comes to life, channeling a futuristic Marilyn Monroe in a red dress that mimics the iconic white one in “The Seven Year Itch.” The singer then transforms into a 1960s housewife with a polka-dot geometric dress. But with a blink of an eye, that look is gone in favor of a superhero-gone-sex-kitten look. Riding a flaring rocket that floats before a building window, Perry shoots into the city lights before doing her spokesperson drop: “We love to entertain you.”

Top American Idol Moments

American Idol Top Moments

The world's greatest reality TV singing competition is back to glue you to the idiot box.

Tune in to the premiere of American Idol Season 10 on Star World, Astro Channel 711 on Thursday, 20th January 2011 at 6pm, with a primetime repeat at 8pm.

Adam Lambert may be today's definition of glam, but who better to school the sex symbol but the grandmasters of glam themselves - KISS. We bet Gene Simmons will one day join the judging panel though.

Blake Lewis

This singer-songwriter cum beatboxer blazed new trails on Idol with his flash and extremely unique style. While his post-Idol career may not match up to luminaries like Kelly Clarkson and Chris Daughtry, nonetheless he's had pretty good success on the dance charts, having released his second album, 'Heartbreak' on Vinyl in 2009.

Bo Bice

How could he not have won, with those shampoo-commercial locks and manly beard? One of the original rockers that joined American Idol, along with his polar opposite Chris Daughtry, Bo hasn't been heard much from lately... Perhaps a Loreal ad may revive his career.

David Archuleta and David Cook

The Two Davids, David Archuleta and David Cook, represented a clash between two generations - one a fresh-faced kid with stars in his eyes and the other a rocker with a steady grin. David Cook may have emerged victorious, but he's got a lot of catching up to do if he's gonna overtake the popular Archuleta.

Fantasia Barrino

Fantasia Barrino's voice is the stuff of legend. There's a reason why she won American Idol, and it's because beyond a shadow of a doubt she was the most electrifying singer that season. While she may not be as ubiquitous as Jennifer Hudson, she's a staple for listeners of great soul music and with a third studio album out now, she'll go far, if not further.

Jennifer Hudson

Jennifer Hudson was eliminated from Idol way too early, but ever since, she's gone on to release critically acclaimed albums, win an Oscar for singing in a movie, and generally kick @ss all around. Living proof that not winning the competition may not always be the worst thing that can happen to you.

  Sanjaya

Ah Sanjaya. You will not be remembered for your singing skills, or lack of, but for that amazing hair that you one day insisted into turning into a ponytail-mohawk hybrid that possibly had come alive through the intervention of an evil force. 

William Hung

Bumbling, lovable, dripping sincerity from every pore, and, oh yeah, famous for singing Ricky Martin's 'She Bangs' in the most tuneless way possible. That and accompanied with strange hand and arm movements in an attempt that could be called 'Dancing'. And went on to international stardom.

Chris Daughtry’s shocking departure

American Idol's most famous rock star, Chris Daughtry, was one of the favourites to win Idol Season 5. In fact, his rendition of Fuel's 'Hemorrhage' was so friggin' awesome, the band offered him a spot as the leading front man - while he was still on Idol! But of course, drama knocked on Idols' door when Chris was, like Jen Hudson, controversially eliminated, finishing fourth in the competition. We swear we could hear hearts break from across the Pacific Ocean.

David Archuleta mesmerizes the world

with just one song

During the Top 20 stage of Idol Season 7, the then 16-year-old David Archuleta shyly walked onto the stage, looked nervously at the crowd, belted out his own version of John Lennon's classic 'Imagine' and shyly walked off the stage. That was when little Archie captured the hearts of gajillions worldwide.

J-Hud voted off

Jennifer Hudson, arguably one of the most talented contestants the show has ever seen, was controversially voted off Season 3 of the show, finishing in seventh place.
That week the show's 3 divas, Fantasia Barrino, LeToya London and Hudson placed in the bottom 3, to the dismay of the show's judges, who dubbed the ladies the three best singers of the season. Hudson's vote-off inspired a new Idol rule, producers now allow the judges to save one contestant from being voted off each season.
Jennifer didn't stay down for long though. Instead of retreating into a corner, Hudson scored the role of a lifetime in the movie adaptation of the Tony-Award winning Broadway show, Dreamgirls, beating Season 3 winner Fantasia Barrino, who also auditioned for the part.

Hudson ended up winning the Oscar and Golden Globe for her portrayal of Effie White.

Kelly Clarkson becomes first American Idol

In 2002, a small-town girl named Kelly Clarkson thrilled millions and became the first ever American Idol, beating runner-up Justin Guarini by a mile. Kelly went on to become the most successful Idol ever until another small-town girl named Carrie Underwood came along. It didn't matter though, 'cos by that time, Kelly is already a superstar in her own rights.

Robin Williams is Russian Idol

During an Idol special in Season 7, Idol Gives Back, funnyman Robin Williams played fake Russian Idol winner with a bad sense of humour, Ivan Poppinoff (but please, call him Bob). Bob did what no other Idols have done before: he made fun of Simon Cowell, made him smile for a bit and he even managed to grab a piece of his tush. Yowza! 

Sanjaya’s hair-raising pony-hawk

Move over David Beckham, your Mohawk has been out-hawked! In Season 6, Sanjaya Malakar sang No Doubt's 'Bathwater' sporting a 'hybrid' Mohawk which is made out of multiple ponytails. It was like nothing we have seen before, and Idol host Ryan Seacrest even christened it the Ponyhawk. Sadly, that was Sanjaya's fifteen minutes of fame.

Simon and Paula's French kiss 

During Season 2's finale, Fox showed a mini-clip of Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell's alleged 'affair', in which they shared a three-second Frencher (!!). We don't know what's worse: The goose bump-raising liplock, Simon's porn-ish acting skills, or the cheesy music playing in the background. It's just gross.

Simon, We're Brothers Forever!

Remember Renaldo Lapuz? The guy who sang a self-written tune titled 'We're Brothers Forever' during the audition rounds of Season 7 wearing a feather-covered white hat with the word "SIMON" printed on it and a metallic silver cape? The cool dude managed to touch everyone's heart with his theatrics on the show, albeit knowing he has no chance to make it to the Hollywood rounds. God bless his soul, this man.

William Hung (She) Bangs it!

Ricky Martin's 'She Bangs' was an alright song until a modest boy came and made it a complete laughing stock - literally! On Idol Season 3, University of California student William Hung gained fame with an off-key audition performance of that song, and there were no dry eyes left at the judges' table. Of course, those were tears of laughter.

Adam Lambert upstages KISS

KISS is a multi-award winning rock band that has sold 100 million albums worldwide. They were named by VH1 as 10th on their list of the '100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock' and much respected until they performed at the finale of Season 8 with rising rock star Adam Lambert. The runner-up performed two songs with KISS and they were blown away. Critics raved that Glambert upstaged the rock gods with his never-ending soaring vocals that very night. And thus, a new rock god was born (according to Kara DioGuardi, at least).
