After weeks of hype and anticipation, Lady Gaga‘s single, Born This Way, was finally released today.
It’s a fun song with a message for equality. But I can’t help and think that it kinda sounds like Madonna’s Express Yourself….what do you think?
Willow Smith is adorable and cute. But the 10-year-old is also a worldwide music sensation.
On her sense of style:
On her music:
Kim Kardashian is on the cover of the Harper’s Bazaar March issue and here are some excerpts from the interview:
On being business savvy:
“I would absolutely characterize myself as ambitious. I put myself on a budget. My parents raised us saying that at 18, we’d be cut off.”
On living in NYC while filming:
“I worked out once. I gained like 10 pounds. All the papers were like, Kim’s pregnant! I ate the nuts on the street corner, the hot dogs, the street meat. It was not a joke.”
On men:
She got married at 19 to music producer Damon Thomas from whom she got a divorce in 2004. “I used to be so dependent on the guys I was in a relationship with. I don’t know why, because I wasn’t raised that way. If I looked at myself at 19, I would shake myself and be like, Wake up; you are way too smart for this.”
On her first music video with Kanye West:
“I can carry a tune, yeah. I have a cute little voice. I talked to people in the business, and they said, ‘This is what we do for fun. You go to the movies, you go shopping, why don’t you try what we do?’”
Adam Lambert performed an amazing acoustic version of his Grammy-nominated song, Whataya Want From Me on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Thursday.

On love for family:
“I obsess about [my father’s] health. I’m very Italian. I call him every day. I ask my mother if he’s been smoking. They are in their 50s, and they still live in the same apartment on the Upper West Side. Nothing has changed since I have become a star. I am a real family girl. When it comes to love and loyalty, I am very old-fashioned. And I am quite down-to-earth for such an eccentric person.”
The superstar, and Grammy-nominated singer Adam Lambert was a busy man on Wednesday.
First, he came to the Grove for an interview with Extra- Click here to see exclusive photos of that interview). Then, he rushed to The Ellen DeGeneres Show to tape an appearance which will air Thursday.

Nikki Kaapke, star of ABC’s The Bachelor and Bachelor Pad, has founded The Dekadent Diva, Inc., a private cooking/catering company.
To celebrate the launch of her company, to promote her upcoming published cook book (The Dekadent Diva ~ Glamorous Cooking for the Simplest of Chefs) and to raise funds for the Bear Necessities Pediatric Cancer Foundation, Kaapke will host “An Evening of Dekadence” in Chicago, Ill. June 11, 2011 at Soldier Field Stadium.
Guests of the launch party will be in store for a glittering event, greeted by a red carpet entrance, adorning formal black tie attire while enjoying a fashion show and celebrating with music, designer cupcakes, delicious food and bubbly cocktails created by The Dekadent Diva herself, Nikki Kaapke.
The event will also feature company’s models, The Dekadent Darlings and announce the (contest) the company’s “Darling of the Year” . The winner will grace the runway wearing a special charity apron (to be auctioned during the event) benefiting Bear Necessities. Also auctioned that evening will be autographed portraits of each Dekadent Darling and Divine Gift Baskets from The Dekadent Diva, Inc.
The Dekadent Diva offers services such as custom designed menus, private/group cooking lessons, catered dinner parties and designer cupcakes. Amongst Kaapke’s list of clients includes Ann & Jesse Csincsak and Molly Mesnick.
“Things have really taken off since The Dekadent Diva’s conception in October of 2010,” Kaapke says. “Friends missed my daily (Facebook) posts about my cooking while shooting for ABC’s The Bachelor Pad (July 2010) and recommended that I start a blog. The blog grew into a website, I was offered to publish a cook book and four months later I have clients, catered events, requests for designer cupcakes and overwhelming anticipation from fans to purchase their own Dekadent Diva cook book”.
Kaapke has always enjoyed cooking. While filming The Bachelor Pad, she cooked all of the meals for her fellow cast mates. Several dozen former cast members from the show will be in attendance for The Dekadent Diva launch party in Chicago this coming June. “It means so much to have my “Bachelor” family supporting me. We really are friends who back each other up for the important things in one another’s life”.
“When creating The Dekadent Diva, Inc. I thought of past American domestic icons like Donna Reed and June Cleaver. Today’s versions are Rachel Ray & Martha Stewart. I would like to consider myself a synergy of both worlds. Bringing back the traditional value of family time, sitting down at the dinner table together or entertaining at home with friends and family and merge with the modern flair and fun of today’s cooking”.
Kaapke has been an advocate of anti-Cancer organizations for over a decade and “immediately thought of giving back to the community” by officially partnering up with the Bear Necessities Pediatric Cancer Foundation.

On having kids:
Perry told ET: “I think I did maybe the most selfish thing a person can do, I created a television show for myself. I was playing a video game for about three years and decided I needed to do something with my life and I created a TV show.”
On Mr. Sunshine, Perry plays Ben, a self absorbed manager of a San Diego sports arena called the Sunshine Center. But if you are looking for this show to replace Friends, don’t hold your breath. There will be no guest-starring of Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, Lisa Kudrow or David Schwimmer on the first season of Perry’s new show.
“From the gate, I wanted to show that this was something new,” he told ET. “Of course, it would be great to work with all of them again someday. If we are lucky enough to have the show go on long enough, it would be wonderful.”
Mr. Sunshine will have the following stars make their appearances though: Lost‘s Jorge Garcia, tennis great Jimmy Connors, James Taylor and Nick Jonas.
Mr. Sunshine premieres Wednesday, Feb. 9 at 9:30 p.m. on ABC, temporarily replacing Friends‘ co-star Courteney Cox’s Cougar Town.
