'Glee,' 'Modern Family' Both Planning Lady Gaga Episodes

Do television fans love Lady Gaga as much as music fans? Gaga's upcoming Glee tribute is so big that the show is being extended a full half hour (sorry Raising Hope), and now Modern Family is getting in on the Gaga love.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who plays Mitchell on the hit ABC show, revealed that an upcoming episode will center around a Lady Gaga concert. 

"Mitchell, my character, wants to go to the Lady Gaga concert, and Cameron is supposed to go with me but he's sick in bed and he's expecting me to stay home and take care of him," he toldRegis Philbin and Kelly Ripa. "And so I kind of, maybe, drug him a little bit so I can sneak out and go to the concert."

It turns out that Modern Family's admiration of the pop star is mutual. Ferguson said the cast found out Gaga is a big fan of the show when she approached producers about appearing in an episode.

"Gaga reached out and she wanted to do something with the show but it's like, how do you incorporate Lady Gaga into Modern Family?"

Hopefully the show's writers can think of some appropriately fabulous plot point for the pop star

WTF of The Day: Lady Gaga Goes Country

Because she doesn't hear her songs in enough Country Western bars and she's dissatisfied with only being Elton freaking John's son's godmother AND because she feels there aren't enough headlines spawned from the sheer mention of her name, Lady Gaga did the logical thing and created a country version of her smash hit "Born This Way" (see: ripoff of "Express Yourself"). Personally, I've disliked "Born This Way" since the song hit the Grammy stage in a mess of dinosaur egg yolk and giant latex condom scraps and I've never been a fan of country music so the combination of the two is like a set of rhinestone-and-steak-encrusted fingernails on a Versace chalkboard (a.k.a. pretentiously useless and still impossible to listen to). The one good thing is that Gaga is donating the proceeds from the sale of this new version to the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), but you know what's better? How about you skip the awful song and donate your dollar to the organization directly instead? It's that bad. 

ady Gaga’s mum to join her on tour to control her drinking

Melbourne, Apr 5 – Lady Gaga’s mother is reportedly joining her daughter on tour in order to keep an eye on how much her celebrity daughter drinks.
Cynthia Germanotta, 56, is said to be concerned about her daughter’s health after she collapsed during a show last. year, and plans to keep a watchful eye on the singer to ensure she eats properly and cuts down on her alcohol intake while away from home.
“She may be one of the biggest, and strangest, pop stars in the world but her relationship with her parents is very traditional,” News.com.au quoted a friend of the star (born Stefani Germanotta) as saying.
“She is from a typical loving Italian-American background and her family have normal parental concerns.
“Her mum thinks she drinks too much and doesn’t eat enough. She has gone along to keep an eye on her drinking and feed her up,” she added

Lady GaGa Shocks Fans at Revue

Lady GaGa gave the audience at a drag queen revue a shock on Saturday, March 12, after storming on stage and performing while her new track "Born This Way" was blasting out across the club. 

The "Poker Face" superstar had played a sold-out gig at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky and many of her fans carried on the party by hitting a drag club after the concert ended. But GaGa had no intention of stopping performing and joined a transvestite onstage for a rousing rendition of her latest hit single. 

The crowd chanted along with the star while she gyrated with her pal, shouting the song's lyrics, "Don't be a drag, just be a queen." The singer then had to be saved by security as she did a stage dive into the adoring crowd, before strutting off the stage. 

Lady GaGa Promotes Bracelet to Raise Funds

Lady GaGa has urged her legions of fans to buy a special bracelet launched to raise funds for those affected by the Japanese tsunami. Over 20 countries in the Pacific Rim were put on high alert on Friday, March 11, after a massive 8.9-magnitude tremor caused a tidal wave which devastated Japan. 

A raft of celebrities have sent their condolences to those who have lost family members in the disaster, and now the "Poker Face" hitmaker is asking fans to donate $5 or more to the relief effort by buying a bracelet via her website. 

"Lady GaGa designed a 'We Pray For Japan' prayer bracelet, buy yours now for $5 in the web store and all proceeds go to Japan tsunami relief," a post on the site reads. 

Japanese star Yoko Ono and "Star Trek" actor George Takei have also asked for fans' help in raising money for the cause.

Lady GaGa Angers Concert Photographers With New Rules

Lady GaGa has sparked a war with concert photographers after demanding they give up the rights to their shots. The pioneering pop star has started asking snappers to sign release forms before admitting them to gigs, demanding they surrender their copyright of the images they take while she's onstage.

Website TBD.com went public with the release form given to their photographer Jay Westcott on Friday, March 4, which clearly states his shots will become the property of GaGa. Revered concert photographer and property lawyer David Atlas tells Rolling Stone magazine, "It's utterly disrespectful of the time, the effort and the creativity of the photographer. I think it's some misguided need to control the images that are out there, but she has so little control over those images."

And veteran concert snapper Tim Mosenfelder tells the publication, "These artists blow up, and depending on their personality and the management they surround themselves with, they end up with a result like this. There are artists out there who are pretty fair with the press. For example, Justin Bieber is very receptive to allowing the press to cover his performances, and he's blown up."

The release form published by TBD.com is one of two GaGa hands out to photographers - a second version does not demand the photographer to sign over their copyright. According to Atlas, the less restrictive version is intended for larger publications.

He adds, "Typically the person who has the least leverage gets the worst release... The people who get paid $125 to hang out for four hours at a concert have to sign this release. So on top of getting paid very little, they have no ongoing revenue stream from these photos whatsoever."

Lady GaGa Crying After Collaborating With Maria Aragon in Concert

Lady GaGa broke down in tears during a concert on Thursday, March 3 after performing an emotional rendition of her song "Born This Way" with a 10-year-old fan. The pop star last month invited Maria Aragon to join her on tour as she was so impressed with a YouTube clip of the little girl singing the track.

The "Poker Face" hitmaker kept her word when her tour touched down in Aragon's native Canada and called her young fan onstage during a show in Toronto on Thursday night. GaGa lifted Aragon onto her lap as she sat at a piano, and the two then performed a duet of "Born This Way", with GaGa visibly moved during the song.

After Aragon thanked the crowd and left the stage, Gaga could be seen weeping and taking time to compose herself before continuing the concert. She later took to her Twitter.com blog to post a picture of herself wearing a t-shirt with Aragon's face on as she stood next to the girl backstage.

Gaga writes, "Myself +10 year old Lady Maria of Winnipeg. She signed my t-shirt, she ate my heart, just like you." After the show, Aragon said, "Lady GaGa is really big and she's so amazing. Being supported how she was supported up there made me feel really great."

Lady Gaga and Luc Carl Caught Making Out

After breaking it off a while back and declaring their love for each other, Gaga and Luc seem to be back together.

Gaga was all over Luc Carl in the hotel swimming pool at the St. Regis in Houston, so we can only imagine what happened when they were left alone.
 It must be love, because Gaga doesn’t  jump on any disco stick she just sees, or at least she never gets caught.
