Lady Gaga releases country remix of “Born This Way”: better or worse?

Lady Gaga releases country remix of “Born This Way”: better or worse?

You know how I hated Lady Gaga’s video for “Born This Way” and how the sheer forced-weirdness of the video might have influenced my thoughts on the actual song? Yeah, I’m going to have to take some of it back. First of all, three mornings in a row this week I watched the “Born This Way” video on VH1 while I ate breakfast, and while I still don’t care for the video, the song is catchy in that particular way Gaga’s songs are always catchy. So, I’ve already been singing it to myself all week. And now Gaga has dropped a “remix” on us. It’s the country version of “Born This Way”! Um… is it okay if I LOVE this version?

Gaga debuted it on Twitter this morning, and the remix was co produced by Gaga and Fernando Garibay. I heart this version so much. It’s so bluesy, and now I want Gaga to perform it on the CMAs or something. Hey, if they let Gwyneth in, why not Gaga?!?

Here’s the old version, for comparison:

Ever wonder what Lady Gaga uses to wash the prosthetic horns off her face?

According to a new interview with People, Gaga has always cleansed with Ivory soap—when she gets the chance to cleanse, that is. The pop star confessed that she rarely washes her face before she goes to bed, admitting, "That's not good for your skin, but I'm blessed with good genes."

Lady Gaga does have a few beauty rituals, however: She always keeps sunblock in her beauty bag. "I don't like to tan my face because it's bad for wrinkles."

But Gaga would rather her fans follow their instincts than try to imitate her look. "Just go with your gut," she said. "Whenever you try to be someone else, it's boring."

Details from People:

When asked how many nights per week she goes to bed wearing makeup, she replies, “Seven. That is not good for your skin, but I’m blessed with good genes.”

What is good for her skin? The sunblock she carries around in her beauty bag.

“I don’t like to tan my face because it’s bad for wrinkles,” she explains.

Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way' Censored in Malaysia for Pro-Gay Lyrics

Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way' Censored in Malaysia for Pro-Gay Lyrics

Lady Gaga's Malaysian fans will have to deal with a heavily edited version of her hit song "Born This Way." The AP reports that broadcasters in the majority Muslim nation refuse to play lyrics from the song that endorse homosexual lifestyles.

Radio stations have been playing a version of the track that has garbled nonsense in place of the lyrics: "No matter gay, straight or bi, lesbian, transgendered life, I'm on the right track, baby." Malaysia's AMP Radio Networks explain that they've been playing the censored version of the song to stay in line with strict government rules surrounding media.

"The particular lyrics in 'Born This Way' may be considered as offensive when viewed against Malaysia's social and religious observances," the company said in a statement. "The issue of being gay, lesbian or (bisexual) is still considered as a 'taboo' by general Malaysians."

Gaga isn't the first artist to run afoul of strict religous taboos in Malaysia. Madonna and Beyonce Knowles have both faced protests, threats of violence and government threats to shut down their performances when they scheduled tour dates there.

Gaga has yet to speak out about the censorship, but the issue of gay advocacy is one close to her heart, and she recently severed a business relationship with Target stores over political donations that flew against her support of gay marriage.

Lady Gaga's prayer bracelet

Lady Gaga is calling on her little monsters to aid disaster relief efforts in Japan. In wake of the devastation created by an 8.9-magnitude earthquake and 23-foot tsunami that hit the country last week, the songstress designed a prayer bracelet that's being sold in her online store.

The white and red bracelet reads "We pray for Japan" in both English and Japanese (it also features her signature claw motion) and is selling for $5 on Gaga's online store.  "I Designed a Japan Prayer Bracelet. Buy It/Donate here and ALL proceeds will go to Tsunami Relief Efforts. Go Monsters," she wrote recently on her blog, pointing fans to her online store.

Plenty of other stars have tweeted their condolences to Japan since the massive devastation occurred on Friday. Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Kim Kardashian, and a slew of other stars have asked their followers to keep the country in their thoughts and prayers.

Lady Gaga Might Sue over 'Baby Gaga' Breast Milk Ice Cream

 Lady Gaga is not down with Baby Gaga.

The pop performer has reportedly threatened to sue a London ice creamery over their human breast milk-flavored ice cream, Baby Gaga. Matt O'Connor, the owner of The Icecreamists, told the NYPost, "She's acting like a big baby who is crying over spoiled breast milk."

Gaga doesn't have all that much to worry about: no one's buying the frozen treat these days. The product is currently being tested for health code violations. The sugary treat is made with human breast milk, vanilla pods and lemon.

Do you think Lady Gaga has much of a case? And isn't it sort of funny coming from the woman who supposedly wants her perfume to smell like blood and semen?

Lady Gaga Says Her Stylish Life Is 'Just Another Day at the Office'

Lady Gaga Says Her Stylish Life Is 'Just Another Day at the Office'

Lady Gaga insists her glamorous look is just part of her regular personality, fame or no fame.

Speaking to TV host Gayle King while wearing spikes on her face and shoulders, huge platform shoes and a leather dress, she said: “I live a glamorous, stylish life. It's nothing to do with money or anything. It's just the way I choose to live.

“I just woke up in my New York apartment and just wanted to be myself today, so I wore my vintage mute glare catsuit and these are my favourite shoes right now.

“They're creepers and they're made into platforms. I'm very excited about that. It's just another day at the office.”

She also tried to convince Gayle the spikes in her face were natural, adding: “They've been there this whole time but I waited until I'd put ‘Born This Way’ out for you to see them.”

Gaga, 24, also said claimed she does not take herself too seriously, and doesn’t worry about criticism.

She added: “I always like to say people take me too seriously and not seriously enough at the same time. I think there’s an incredible amount of scrutiny on young women and I think there’s a tremendous amount of analysis that goes into everything, but I just don't care what people think of me to be perfectly blunt.”
