Lady Gaga is dead meat...well, she's wearing it anyway on the cover of Vogue Hommes Japan. Naturally, that has the PETA gang very upset. The animal rights organization released a statement that reads, "No matter how beautifully it is presented, flesh from a tortured animal is flesh from a tortured animal. Meat represents bloody violence and suffering, so if that's the look they were going for -- they achieved it."
Hate to break it to Lady Gaga, but The Beatles posed with raw meat for an album cover back in 1966.
Katy Perry will be the musical guest for the season premiere of NBC's "Saturday Night Live." Amy Pohler is hosting and the big night is September 25th.
Rihanna's new album is called "Loud." There's no release date yet for the follow-up to her 2009 effort, "Rated R," but the singer premiered her new single, "Only Girl (In The World)," yesterday on her official fansite. It's a dance floor number which could mean that Rihanna's new album will be less edgier than her most recent CD which has sold a little less than a million copies. YouTube removed the new single yesterday, under orders from Universal Music.
The cast of Green Day's Broadway musical, "American Idiot," will appear on tonight's edition of "America's Got Talent." They'll perform at least one of the songs from the show which is still doing big business at the St. James Theater, though Playbill.com says now that school is back in session, there may be more empty seats over the next few months.
Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx is really upset about his former girlfriend hooking up with Sandra Bullock's ex-husband. Tattoo artist Kat Von D split with Nikki just a short time ago, but she's gone public with her new guy, Jesse James. Kat told People.com that Jesse is only her ninth boyfriend and that she does not hook up with someone unless she is in love. Nikki told TMZ.com that he's kinda surprised Kat moved on so quickly since they only ended their two-and-a-half year relationship earlier this year. But, Nikki wishes the new couple only the best.
Morrissey's interview in the UK's Guardian Weekend Magazine includes a statement that many are describing as racist. The former Smiths' frontman and longtime animal rights activist was discussing the poor treatment of animals in China. Morrissey said, "You can't help but feel that the Chinese are a subspecies." Spinner.com says a spokesperson for Love Music Hate Racism group thinks it will be very difficult for the singer to recover from such, "crude racism."
The "Rock Band 3" videogame introduces a new instrument into the mix: keyboards. You get a realistic set of keys and it's about as difficult to use as the "pro" mode for guitar. A new trailerSmash Mouth tune, "Walkin' On The Sun." The game is due out on October 26th.
John Lennon's murderer has been denied parole again. Yesterday, a three member panel of New York State Parole Board Commissioners made their decision after delaying the hearing for a month. Mark David Chapman's next chance at getting out of the Attica Correctional Facility will happen in August of 2012. This December 8th will mark 30 years since Chapman shot and killed John outside the ex-Beatle's apartment building in New York City.
Sir Paul McCartney is part of this year's Kennedy Center Honors. He was supposed to get that nod in 2002, but said no for personal reasons. Paul was going though his nasty divorce from Heather Mills at the time, so that could have been why. Paul Simon was a last minute replacement honoree.
The rest of this year's group includes country music legend Merle Haggard; Broadway composer and lyricist Jerry Herman; dancer/choreographer Bill T. Jones and Oprah Winfrey. The big black tie gala will happen December 5th in Washington, D.C., and you'll get to see it on December 28th.
