Lady Gaga doesn’t look like the type to sit
down over turkey and all the trimmings, but the singer couldn't resist
treating her Little Monsters to her first holiday special.
Gaga will premiere the aptly titled “A Very Gaga Thanksgiving” on
ABC. The 90-minute Thanksgiving day special was conceived and directed
by the signer and promises to offer a glimpse into her private life.
She will perform eight songs in front of a small audience of close
friends and family. Beside the hits, Gaga will perform “The Lady Is a
Tramp” with Tony Bennett, “Marry the Night,” “You and I,” “The Edge of
Glory” and the holiday classic “White Christmas.”
Katie Couric will sit down with the singer at Sacred Heart Catholic
School in Manhattan, Gaga's alma mater, for a revealing one-on-one
conversation about her life and inspirations behind her hits. Gaga also
got into the holiday spirit by recruiting chef Art Smith to help her
prepare a Thanksgiving dinner of deep-fried turkey ... and waffles.
“We all know Lady Gaga is a phenomenon,” Couric said in a statement.
“This is a chance to see more of who she is beneath the wild costumes
and staged musical numbers .... Lady Gaga as a high school student still
bruised by being excluded from the party, Lady Gaga as a devoted
daughter and caring sister, Lady Gaga as a 25-year-old woman embracing
fame and fortune that seemed to come overnight. She will impress you,
delight you and surprise you.”
This is just plain stupid. More bullshit and more $$$$$ for her. Hasn't she talked about herself and shoved herself down society's throat ad nauseum enough already? Now she has to torture the masses with a Thanksgiving Special! I wonder if she'll have a piano shaped like a turkey or cornucopia while she strips down and slows down her songs to just a piano....like she always does. The same technique over and over and over again. BORING!! I wonder if someone will throw a turkey at her??
In order for her to not have a comparison to Madonna or to anyone else for that matter, she has to ride the cheese highway because we all know holiday specials are cheesy and Madonna has never done a holiday special. Gaga, a family, holiday special? Her? A family special? What, she's Bob Hope now? I think she's a little delusional right now thinking that she appeals to good, wholesome American values on a very American holiday. Football and cranberry dressing she is a not. Who the hell thought this would be a good idea??? She's one of the last people who is appropriate to have a family special.
Is she going to baste that turkey with her disco stick or will she just ride it on prime time? Maybe she's cut a live turkey's throat on TV. She'll probably claim that the turkey spoke to her and gave her creativity through it's butt hole that was attached to her vagina which inspired her to be brave and fearless.
Ugh, I can already feel the turkey and mashed potatoes making it's way back up my esophagus.
