Madonna Says "No Comment" on Lady Gaga.....Sort Of



While in Venice promoting her film W.E. at the Venice Film Festival, Madonna was asked by Belgian newspaper Le Soir, what her thoughts are on Lady Gaga's perception (copying) of her. 

In W.E., you're shooting the romance of Wallis Simpson through the eyes of a modern admiring young woman, Wally. We could see the perception your fans have about you. Even of Lady Gaga?

Madonna:
Of my fans? Say what interests me with the perception of Wally, is to arrive to break the truth about Wallis Simpson. And realize that nothing is all white or all black. True or False. Life is gray. And you can not put someone in a box. As for Lady Gaga, I have no comment on her obsessions related to me, because I do not know if it is based on something profound or superficial.

Ouch!!  Sounds like Madonna is trying to be diplomatic while simultaneously letting the world know she is aware of Stefani's theft and copying and it hasn't gone unnoticed and it's not welcome, not in the least.  How's that Stefani, coming from the woman you say you idolize?  

We also heard that after the Born This Way/Express Yourself rip off fiasco, Stefani claimed that she received an email from Madonna's camp giving her full support.  We also know the truth, and the truth is Madonna and her publicist confirmed that no such email was sent.

On another note, Madonna made herself look ungrateful after the mic caught her say how she loathes hydrangeas after she was given the flowers at the press conference at the Venice Film Festival. 

Before we all throw stones at Madonna for her remarks, let's keep in mind that this happened during the press conference and fans are not allowed in at press conferences.  This easily could have been a tabloid reporter who knows that Madonna only likes white Lillie's.  I even know that and I'm just a blogger who happens to be a fan.  She may have been set up to look bad.  Madonna's never been one to hold back and my guess is that she puts her foot in her mouth often.  Madonna's fans were waiting for her outside the press conference and she graciously signed autographs for them after the conference.  There is footage of this on YouTube

Madonna & Anthony Kiedis 'Lady is a Tramp' 1000th Arsenio Hall Show



Tony Bennett is set to release his duet with Lady Gaga "The Lady Is A Tramp".  I heard the teaser for the song and I honestly thought Stefani sounded great. My initial feeling was maybe Stefani should focus her talent on jazz because she's able to pull it off and it suits her.  I really liked what I heard and Tony Bennett is Tony Bennett.  He's a legend going back to the days of old Hollywood when it still had class.

However, I have to go back to the Gaga/Madonna comparisons yet again because it was brought to my attention that Madonna and Anthony Kiedis of The Red Hot Chili Peppers performed the same song together at the 1000th Episode of the Arsenio Hall Show.

OK, OK, I know what all the little monsters are going to say "Lots of people cover older classic songs! Why is it wrong for Queen Gaga to do that too".  My answer?  It's not wrong.  Not at all.

But with all the constant Madonna comparisons that never go away and probably never will at this point, you would think that Stefani would've used her brains a little and choose any other Tony Bennett song to duet with.  I just don't get it.  If she wants to distance herself from the Madonna comparisons and doesn't want to be consistently accused of ripping off Madonna's career, then why is Stefani doing everything in her power to mimic so many aspects and work that Madonna has done?  It really is "single white female-ish".  

Tony Bennett has a vast catalogue of material to choose from and what does Stefani do?  She picks the same song Madonna covered! She is not doing anything to help separate herself from Madonna and her lengthy career.  Stefani shoots yet another bullet into that copy cat foot of hers.

So Who Do I Like?


I've been accused several times of being full of hate and asked who the heck DO I like?  Well, there's plenty.  Let's start right here with Ellie Goulding.  Maybe you've heard of her, maybe you haven't.  Now the time to start paying attention.  She's already done very well in the UK and Europe and finally there's a strong buzz about her here in North America.  She's already toured the U.S.A. and Canada and played at Coachella.   Ellie Goulding is a favorite of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, William and Kate and was asked to play at their wedding.

Ellie is amazingly talented.  She is classy, respectable, authentic, doesn't need gimmicks or theatrics and is adorable. Ellie doesn't need to run around with her ass and titties hanging out.  She just gets up there and plays. Her and her band.   Ellie's many talents include vocals, guitar, drums, piano, clarinet, tambourine and song writing.

Check out her song "Starry Eyed" above.  I have her entire CD on my MP3 player and every single song is excellent.  Check out "Under The Sheets" as well.

Seriously Rihanna?

Ok, I know this is a Gaga blog but I came across this online and I'm really disgusted. Rihanna was spotted leaving a restaurant in Santa Monica wearing a necklace that reads "cunt".  Now, why would you do that Rihanna?  Have you no self respect?  After being the victim of violence at the hands of a man, she goes and puts this vile word around her neck.  Grow up Rihanna and be lady, if that is even possible for you and your poppy types.

I have about zero tolerance for these dumb little pop stars...or pop tarts is more like it.  I really wish one of them, any of them, would give us a really good reason to respect them.  I really can't stand any of them.  They have no substance, no personality and mediocre talent churning out pop drivel with asinine lyrics and what really gets me is people buy this crap up!  I guess that says a lot about the mindset of society today and what we find entertaining.  Don't even get me started on reality show douche bags like Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton.  I've never watched an episode and I never will.  I refuse to contribute to anything that helps to make these pathetic individuals famous.  Society should be ashamed of themselves for lining the pockets of these useless human beings with more money than they need.  They already were lucky enough to be born in to an affluent family.  Do we really need to make them richer and make them famous for doing absolutely nothing?  Oh wait, I take that back. They worked really hard on their sex tapes that put them on the map. 

Rihanna, please do yourself a favor and toss this necklace in to a burning flame.  Respect yourself and respect womanhood and stop behaving like a douche bag.  Take some of that money you have and go buy yourself some class and while you're at it, invest in a therapist so you can build some self esteem because any adult woman with healthy self esteem would never in a million years wear this garbage around her neck.  This folks, is what young, impressionable girls are looking up to.

Gaga Releases One of Five "Fashion" Videos

If you haven't seen it already, you won't see on this site.  Gaga released her "Haus Of U featuring Nymph Fashion Video",  which is basically her dancing and posing for the camera to her song You and I, dressed as the nymph character in video of the same title. 

I think Stefani looks lovely in the video.  It's nice to see her look like a human being for once but one has to ask, what is the purpose of this video?  And what the heck is a fashion video? She's only wearing one outfit.  It's more like a "Watch Me Dance on Camera Video Wearing Lingerie. Look At Me, Aren't I Amazing!" video.   Plus, there's four more coming.  My guess is each one will be of Stefani dressed as one of the charcters in the You and I video, that's pretty predictable. Ugh! Not another Jo Calderone appearance.  

Anyway, back to the purpose of the video.  Is Stefani so desperate to have a second song off Born This Way reach number one that she has to release five, no, six (if you include the official one) You and I videos to push this song?  It's pretty obvious that's the deal here.  Gaga, the only people who will be moved by this video are little "still going through puberty" monsters and they already bought your album.  I know you packaged this as a gift...a surprise, for your monsters but those who can see past bullshit know the marketing ploy behind the videos. This is just another reason for a narcissist to revel in herself five more times while manipulating the public to buy her failing song.   To think that a part of her really thinks that filming herself on video, striking a pose (no pun intended) or ten is a gift to her fans.  How incredibly self serving and arrogant.  I wish someone would tell her that shoving yourself down the public's throat doesn't endear them to you.  What it actually does is turn them off, and it's happening in droves.  Here's a bullet Stefani, so you can shoot yourself in the other foot.
