One week ago, 12-year-old Greyson Michael Chance was living a typical life in Edmond, Oklahoma, where he enjoyed listening to his favorite band, Augustana, and playing the understudy in a local production of Oliver. But Fate had bigger things in store for the talented singer/song writer, as he has become the Web’s newest super star!

After recording a rockin’ rendition of Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” at a talent show for his sixth grade class, he uploaded it to Facebook and YouTube, without a clue as to what would happen next. In just a few short days the video received over 2 million views and overnight he became an Internet sensation! Word spread and now, in less than two weeks the video has received over ten million hits!

Even though he's only in the 6th grade, Greyson has shown an extraordinary talent for music. In addition to his cover of “Paparazzi,” he has written two songs of his own, “Broken Hearts” and “Stars.” He’s now working full time on his music career. Watch all three of these performances in videos at the base of this post.

It seems Ellen has a special talent for spotting rising stars. A few weeks ago, on April 21, 2010 she brought Lin Yu Chun (aka Eric Lin) to the US to sing “I Will Always Love You” and “Amazing Grace.” Lin was discovered on a Taiwanese singing show called Super Star Avenue, where he wowed the judges with an ethereal version of Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You."

Although Lin didn't win the million dollar prize, he did score a recording contract and has also become a YouTube sensation, where his video has received over ten million views as well. British papers have even crowned him the next Susan Boyle. Sony Music Entertainment said in a statement Thursday, May 13, 2010, that Lin Yu Chun's debut album, featuring Chinese and English songs, will be released in July. It quoted 24-year-old Lin as saying, "I still can't believe this is real."

Lin told Ellen he was bullied as a child and sang to "feel better about himself" and now, “Success is the best revenge!” Visit his blog here: http://www.lin-yu-chun.blogspot.com

BETTY WHITE ROCKS SNL SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE RATINGS 5-8-10! BREATHES NEW LIFE INTO OLD SHOW! 14 VIDEOS 8 PHOTOS UNSEEN VIDEOS! HOT IN CLEVELAND PREVIEW!

May 10, 2010.
WATCH AS BETTY WHITE RESUSCITATES SNL WITH A FRESH TAKE ON OLD SKITS AND PERFECT COMEDIC TIMING! TODAY WE BRING YOU 14 OF THE FUNNIEST SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE (SNL) CLIPS EVER, INCLUDING THREE THAT WERE NOT AIRED DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS! PLUS WE HAVE 8 PICTURES AND A PREVIEW OF BETTY WHITE’S NEW SHOW HOT IN CLEVELAND!
88 1/2 year-old Betty “Frickin’” White made history this weekend as the oldest host ever of Saturday Night Live, receiving rave reviews for her delivery and hilarity. Joined by returning cast members Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Molly Shannon, Maya Rudolph, Ana Gasteyer and Rachel Dratch, Betty stole the show in each and every skit.

Photo of Betty White and Will Forte in the "Lawrence Welk Cold Open" skit on this weekend's Saturday Night LIve (SNL). 5-8-10 image.

And to top it all off, SNL received its highest overnight ratings in 18 months ! Betty’s show received an 8.8 rating/21 share, according to Nielsen Media Research. That's the highest since Nov. 1, 2008, when Ben Affleck hosted and Republican presidential nominee John McCain appeared alongside Tina Fey as Governor Sarah Palin!

Picture of Betty White during the Saturday Night Live (SNL) monologue, which had the audience rolling in the aisles! 5-8-10 photo.

During the opening monologue, Betty noted she made her live TV debut in 1952 because they "didn't know how to tape things," adding "I don't know what this show's excuse is!"

Promotional image of Betty White with Jay-Z, the evening's musical performer on Saturday Night Live (SNL) 5-8-10 photo.

Betty “thanked” Facebook for its campaign to get her to appear on the show. "I didn't know what Facebook was, and now that I do know what it is, it sounds like a huge waste of time. I would never think that people on it are losers, but that's only because I'm polite.”

“At my age," she added, "if I want to connect with old friends, I need a Ouija board. Facebook just sounds like a drag. In my day, seeing pictures of people's vacations was considered a punishment. Yes we had poking, but it wasn't something we did on a computer. It was something you did on a hayride, under a blanket."

Photo of Molly Shannon and Betty White in the "Weekend Update" skit on Saturday Night Live (SNL). 5-8-10 image.

She did Scared Straight, NPR, Debbie Downer, Census, MacGruber, Joyologist, Sally O’Malley & Dotty O’Donghan and Bronx Beat to name a few. Watch all of the soon-to-be classic skits in the videos below. She claimed she was “scared to death” as she made the talks show rounds earlier in the week, but the nerves didn't show during her performance.

Picture of Ana Gasteyer and Molly Shannon talking to Betty White during a grossly funny take on Betty's "Dusty Muffins." Saturday Night Live (SNL) May 8, 2010 image.

In the sketches, White played MacGruber's grandmother, Grandma MacIntosh and a senior citizen on "CSI: Sarasota" among others. Since it was a Mother's Day special, the skits also featured SNL alums Rachel Dratch, Tina Fey, Ana Gasteyer, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph and Molly Shannon. Fey assisted in the sketch about 2010 census while Gasteyer and Shannon partook in the sketch about baker Florence Dusty's new muffins.

Saturday Night Live (SNL) opened with this clip: "Lawrence Welk Cold Open." A Mother's Day song featuring Dooneese. With Fred Armisen and Will Forte. 5-8-10:

LADY GAGA UNCUT UNEDITED FULL VERSION ALEJANDRO AMERICAN IDOL 2010 SEASON 9 May 5, 2010. 13 VIDEOS 13 PHOTOS! PLUS EXTRA, JAPAN TV, TIME MAGAZINE!

VIEW THE ENTIRE 6.5 MINUTE LONG, UNCUT, UNEDITED FULL VERSION VIDEO OF LADY GAGA PERFORMING "ALEJANDRO" FOR AMERICAN IDOL 2010 SEASON 9 May 5, 2010. 13 VIDEOS 13 PHOTOS PICTURES IMAGES! PLUS VIDEO INTERVIEWS BY EXTRA, JAPAN TV, and TIME MAGAZINE!
May 6, 2010.
Watch the complete American Idol “Alejandro” video provided to the fans by Lady Gaga herself, including the four sections “FOX POORLY + AMATEURLY edited and cut. Watch the REAL version.” (Lady Gaga’s words via Twitter this morning, May 6, 2010.)

Picture of Lady Gaga beginning her performance of "Alejandro" on Wednesday evening's American Idol Season 9 Top 5 Eliminations Show by playing the piano and doing a few lines from "Bad Romance." 5-5-10 photo.

It seems Fox/American Idol made another major faux paux last night and we’re not talking about the fact that they eliminated the better acts early this season, leaving us with less than stellar contestants.

Rather, we’re talking about their poor judgment in taking a performance from the hottest pop star on the planet and cutting it down from six and a half minutes to five without permission. Needless to say, Gaga is livid!

Picture of Lady Gaga performing her next single "Alejandro" on American Idol Season 9 Top 5 Eliminations Show with her shirtless male dancers. 5-5-10 photo.

Chosen by the readers of Time Magazine as 2010's Most Influential Artist on the Planet, her magic is not something Fox or anyone else should be messing with.

So today, we bring you both versions of the performance and we’d love to hear your comments about both!

Picture of Lady Gaga doing "Alejandro" on Fox's American Idol Season 9 last night. 5-5-10 photo.

Here’s how it went down: “This is a woman who's dominating the charts and pushing the pop-culture envelope," Ryan Seacrest told the audience as he introduced Lady Gaga. In a pre-taped performance, Lady Gaga took to the stage with a large group of shirtless male backup dancers.

Image of Lady Gaga performing "Alejandro" on the American Idol Season 9 Top 5 Eliminations Show. 5-5-10 picture.

Lady Gaga sang the newest single from her latest album The Fame Monster, a Spanish-influenced number called "Alejandro." She began at the piano with a bit of her mega-hit "Bad Romance."

Photo of Lady Gaga dancing while singing "Alejandro" on last night's American Idol Season 9 Top 5 Eliminations Show. Black lace body suit designed by Armani Privé. Styling by Nicola Formichetti. 5-5-10 image.

Dressed in a black lace body suit, cape, and veil designed by Armani Privé, Gaga surrounded herself with a hot gaggle of shirtless dancers. Halfway through the performance, she dropped the cape and began writhing on the floor. Her American Idol performance was taped after last week's elimination show.

Picture of Lady Gaga performing "Alejandro" on Wednesday's American Idol. 5-5-10 photo.

Check out this short article on Lady Gaga written by Cyndi Lauper:
I first heard the name Lady Gaga through a mutual friend. He couldn’t stop talking about her. Then I heard her music, and I thought, Wow, I love this kid.

Image of Lady Gaga rolling around on the floor during the middle of her "Alejandro" performance on last night's American Idol Season 9 Top 5 Eliminations Show. 5-5-10 picture.

People forget how young she is. She is barely 24 — much younger than I was when I became famous. It’s very tough being where she is right now. People are pulling her in all different directions. It’s hard to navigate that. Try to imagine what you were like at her age, if you still can. I can’t wait to see how she grows and what she decides her next act will be.

She only has two albums out, but already she is inspiring other artists to go further in their own work. When I see somebody like Gaga, I sit back in admiration. I’m inspired to pick up the torch again myself. I did an interview with her once, and she showed up with a sculpture on her head. I thought, How awesome. Being around her, I felt like the dust was shaken off of me. I find it very comforting to sit next to somebody and not have to worry that I look like the freak. She isn’t a pop act, she is a performance artist. She herself is the art. She is the sculpture. END.

Extra’s Terri Seymour caught up with Lady Gaga to talk about her new video, following Gaga’s racy performance on American Idol Wednesday night, May 5, 2010. Lady Gaga is currently prepping a video for her new single, “Alejandro,” and tells Terri, “I’m shooting this video with Steven Klein. I’m so excited, but like all of my videos, I don’t know what it’s going to look like until it’s finished.” The pop star is constantly on the go — so how does she keep it up? “I’m really not that tired. Of course, I get tired… it’s my passion for my fans,” she said. “It’s their messages, they send me these beautiful videos… I must have thousands of beautifully laminated books with stickers, photos, sketches, poetry, they call me Mother Monster now.”
Her Ladyship also reveals that although she sings about her “Poker Face,” she “sucks” at playing poker and that her inspiration for the song came from a party. “One of the inspirations from Poker Face was these parties I used to hold on Sundays at my friend’s house in Brooklyn, and all the boys would get together and play Texas Hold ‘Em and I’d make margaritas and spaghetti for everybody. Believe it or not I’m an excellent cook, so no, I suck at poker,” she said. May 5, 2010.

Released on Gaga's birthday, March 28th 2010, we send this video out into the universe in hopes that others may find inspiration in her message, as we have. To those of you who participated and/or supported this project, my deepest gratitude. Find it within yourself what it means to be who you are, what it means to be a Monster, and celebrate it.

LADY GAGA IN COSMOPOLITAN! APRIL 2010! 32 HQ SCANNED PHOTOS IMAGES PICTURES OUTTAKES! 8 VIDEOS! LESBIAN PRISON GIRLFRIEND HEATHER CASSILS INTERVIEW!

ENJOY 32 HIGH QUALITY SCANNED IMAGES PHOTOS PICTURES OUTTAKES OF LADY GAGA BY COSMOPOLITAN MAGAZINE FOR THE APRIL 2010 ISSUE! 8 VIDEOS! PLUS GAY TRANSGENDER PRISON GIRLFRIEND HEATHER CASSILS INTERVIEW!
March 20, 2010
Lady Gaga is now rich and famous so it’s only natural that parasites are crawling out of the woodwork to sue her in order to get their greedy little hands on her millions. And there is no gluttony more heinous than that of a lover spurned, which is exactly what Rob Fusari is—a freeloading has-been boyfriend.

Photo of Lady Gaga on the cover of the April 2010 issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine wearing flesh-colored bra and panties. The cover says, "Love Advice Only Gaga Would Give." Click scanned image to enlarge.

Although the fool claims to have “created” Lady Gaga, the world knows the truth is Lady Gaga created Lady Gaga!

Picture of Lady Gaga in the April 2010 issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine with the headline "Lady Gaga Wants You. Beyonce and the Queen of England are dazzled by her . . .." Click scanned photo to enlarge.

This man is only one of several people who claim to have discovered and shaped Gaga. So, although we are sure Fusari's lawsuit will be labeled without merit and quickly dismissed, we bring you a couple of video reports about the situation, which you can watch at the base of this post.

UPDATE 3-20-10! Lady Gaga filed a counter-suit against Fusari today, claiming he conned her into signing an illegal contract while acting as an unlicensed talent agent! Watch the video at the bottom of this page showing Fusari singing a different tune back in January. Even though he admits to receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars from her, he said all he really wanted was a "Thank you." How quickly the worm turns! This guy now wants millions! Check out a video of the man's hypocrisy by scrolling downward.

In the meantime, enjoy these beautiful photos taken by the good people at Cosmopolitan Magazine, including outtakes they didn’t use but were kind enough to share with the world. Gaga never looked better.

Picture of Lady Gaga in Cosmopolitan Magazine. "I'm like Tinkerbell," Cosmo quotes her saying to the fans at one of her Monster Ball concerts. "You know how she dies if you don't clap for her? Scream for me! Do you want me to die?" Click scanned photo to enlarge.

Read this excerpt from Cosmopolitan.com: Lady Gaga Wants You! Beyoncé and the Queen of England are dazzled by her. But there’s only one thing the pop phenom yearns for, and that’s your devotion. By Christine Spines (after the photo):

Photo of Lady Gaga in the April 2010 issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine wearing black feathers, a tight corset, fingerless open weave gloves, and lace panties. "I believed in her from day one," says Vincent Herbert, the man who really discovered the pop super star. "I'm an outsider," says Lady Gaga. "I've always been delusionally ambitious to the point where people don't understand me." Click scanned image to enlarge.

There are tons of questions we want to ask Lady Gaga. After all, she’s one of the most fascinating music artists we’ve ever seen. And unlike most people who are given that title, she actually manages to live up to it—she’s a true artist—while still singing ultra-catchy pop songs that make it impossible not to dance. She’s kind of a genius… but she’s also kind of bizarre. Who is she, really? We plan to find out.

Image of Lady Gaga in the April 2010 issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine without the print. Click scanned picture to enlarge.

But as we wait for her to meet us at a chic Las Vegas sushi restaurant, we’re completely preoccupied with the most obvious question of all: What the hell will she be wearing? That translucent bubble dress, a bra that shoots sparks, lingerie that oozes fake blood—Gaga never looks boring. In fact, we’d be shocked if she’s so much as touched a pair of sweat pants in her life.

Photo of a page about Lady Gaga in the April 2010 issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine with a "Cosmo Quiz." Says Gaga, "Some women choose to follow men and some women choose to follow their dreams. If you're wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn't love you anymore!" Click scanned image to enlarge.

Sadly, there are no pyrotechnics when we spot her strutting toward us in a pair of black shades, a skimpy bustier, and an impossibly tight vinyl miniskirt. Just as we realize we have no idea what to call her (though we bet “Stefani” will get us slapped), she stretches out a pale, delicate hand in our direction and declares “Gaga.” Of course.

We offer her a cocktail, but she has a sold out concert in a few hours, and she doesn’t want to drink before the show. Instead, she orders riceless sushi and dressingless salad.

For Gaga, life is all about being in the spotlight... and why would she do anything to jeopardize that? “My friends joke that I’m dead until I get onstage,” she says. “I’m dead right now as you’re speaking to me.”

Photo by Cosmopolitan of Lady Gaga in a black corset and lace panties. Click outtake image to enlarge.

Lady Gaga also revealed that her ex-boyfriend told her she would never succeed in the music industry.

In the interview with Cosmopolitan, the “Bad Romance’” singer explained that her partner said he wanted her to fail. “I had a boyfriend who told me I’d never succeed, never be nominated for a Grammy, never have a hit song, and that he hoped I’d fail,” she said. “I said to him, ‘Someday when we’re not together, you won’t be able to order a cup of coffee at the f**king deli without hearing or seeing me’.”

Gaga admitted that she had struggled to succeed in the music business, adding that she “ate s**t for so long.”

“I’ve always been delusionally ambitious to the point where people don’t understand me,” she added. END. To subscribe or read more about Gaga, go to the Cosmo website. The April 2010 issue hit the newsstands March 9th.

Rock legend Annie Lennox recently revealed on her Blog that she’s a big Lady Gaga fan: “She’s the real deal!” Check out what she said below:

I have to say that I am completely entranced by Lady Ga Ga… She is completely off the scale on just about every level, and I’m just loving it! She has the most ENORMOUS stamina and chutzpah, to carry off her massive persona…and I can tell you, that it takes f……..g HOURS and a TEAM to make up and dress up on a daily incarnation like that!!!

Rather demure outtake photo of Lady Gaga originally taken for the April 2010 issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine wearing a black dress and heels. Click picture to enlarge.

She’s amazing, innovative, out of the box, and ground breaking at every level! She has smashed the “cookie cutter” tedium, and brought it all into an entirely different level! I saw her giving an interview with Cyndy Lauper on the subject of Women and Aids..performing live at the piano with Elton, and she’s all over You Tube in all kinds of colors, shapes and forms. Wow!! She’s the real deal..love it love it! END.

Heather Cassils is the awesome-looking woman who plays Lady Gaga's prison girlfriend in the "Telephone" video. But she's also a well-known artist in her own right. And she loved making out with Gaga.

Doree: Were you familiar with Gaga's work before and what did you think of it?

Heather: I was not really all that familiar with her work. I had heard her music (how can you not) but what I really noticed was her appearances at the Grammys and I recall appreciating the radical outfit choices, the birdcage on the head and the bleeding performance. This is more what stuck in my head than her music because as a visual artist it was interesting to see her making reference all across the spectrum of performance art from Lee Bowery to Ron Athey. I was impressed that she was bringing these tropes into her work to bring these visuals to an entirely different audience.

D: How'd you meet Gaga? Describe the process of getting asked/selected to be in the video. Were you immediately interested?

H: I run my own personal training business out of a small gym in Silverlake. At my gym there is another trainer named Dallas Malloy. She is an amazing bodybuilder who is also a talented actor. Dallas called me randomly one day from an audition telling me that a casting agent was looking for female bodybuilders.

Apparently they could not find enough of them so Dallas thought of me because, although I am not as huge as pro builders, with the right camera work I can look massive. I thanked Dallas and told her that acting was not really my thing but when she told me it was to play a security guard in a woman's prison for a Beyoncé/ Gaga video. With the mention of Beyoncé's name I told her to give me the address. (I LOVE Destiny's Child especially) I ended up being cast as an inmate and I went to set that day for the "camp" factor.

I figured I could cross Beyoncé video off my list. Upon arriving, I was sent up to set, saddened to learn that Beyonce was rehearsing for the Grammys. We blocked the prison yard scene with a Lady Gaga double a few times.

Escorted by an entourage, The Lady herself, came on set. Within minutes her people called me over. Draped in chains and clad in cat suit she extended her manicured hand to me. "Hello, I'm Lady Gaga."

"Hello, I'm Heather Cassils." That's how I met Lady Gaga—a bizarre and organic unfolding of events that can only take place in Los Angeles.

D: Did you know what the storyline of the "Telephone" video was before you shot the scene? How was your role described to you? Are you wearing your own clothes or did they design a costume for you?

H: I had no idea about the story line, except that I was to be a security guard in a woman's prison scene ( which I thought was hilarious). My initial role was not described to me at all with the exception of the interactions I had with Gaga after meeting her. She looked me over and told me she wanted me to play her "girlfriend in prison." She mulled over our interactions and said finally definitively: "when I want someone I never go to them, they come to me… so you come to me." She then told me I was to "touch her inappropriately."

As for costuming, the night before the shoot we were sent a list of clothing options to turn up in, items such as bikinis, thongs, high heels etc. At this point I panicked and called the casting director informing her that I do not do bikinis and heels. She assured me it would be okay if I turned up in some dark form fitting clothes.

So I actually wore my girlfriend's pants and leather vest that day. (Great thing about dating women is that you double your wardrobe possibilities). But generally I wear similar garb. I like to fashion myself after a Tom of Finland drawing or the illustrious art hustler of the '70s Peter Berlin. I showed up dressed as you see in the video and was sent up to set.

D: How many takes did you have to do to get the kiss down? What was it like to kiss Lady Gaga? Is she a good kisser?

H: The kiss was down from the get go. It happened very naturally and organically. I leaned into smell her and I started by kissing her neck. It was electric and when I got to her mouth, she actually kissed me. Kissing lady Gaga was like kissing any beautiful woman you feel a connection with, as soon as I touched her she was just that, very sensitive and responsive. It even eclipsed the crazy cigarette glasses that were smoking. I think we did four or five takes; it all happened so fast it was a bit of a blur. By the last takes we were brushing ashes off each other and coughing and laughing. Talk about second hand smoke! But really it was a performance and that yes she is a good kisser but kissing my girlfriend is even more powerful as I'm totally under her spell.

D: Why is it important for queer artists to increase their visibility? What are other ways you're doing that? Do you consider yourself a political artist? Why or why not?

H: It is important for queer artists to increase their visibility because it offers up options. Since I have done this video I have had over 15,000 people look at my artist website. To my surprise I have gotten a ton of really young people contacting me, telling me how much they appreciate what I have been articulating in the media and also how much they connect with my art.

Some of these letters are from very young queer and disenfranchised people, who live in smaller cities with no support. Teens have written me from Germany, France and Scotland, telling me of their feelings of alienation and that by being the artist that I am, and by being outspoken about my beliefs that I have helped them alleviate their own personal feelings of shame around gender identity and sexuality. To me this is truly an honor and the ultimate service I can provide as a cultural producer.

My work starts with my own body, which I have manipulated via diet and exercise to produce a physique that is not usually associated with the female gender. I see life as a sort of performance art work and that every gesture you make, every way you present yourself is a possibility to author an experience for those surrounding you which could be art. As for my more formal art practice, I create living paintings where you use a live element to have people really stay with the composition of the piece.

I will be doing a performance of Hard Times in an upcoming Movement Research Spring 2010 Festival entitled "HARDCORPS" curated by A.L. Steiner, Aki Sasamoto, Melanie Maar and Walter Dundervill. My art is a thermometer of sorts, which takes the temperature of our cultural climate. Am I political artist? I suppose I am, because nothing exists outside the realm of politics. To say you are political is a political statement.

D: Did you find anything problematic about Gaga's video when you watched it in full? Do you feel that the LGBT community was fairly represented, or is it in itself a step forward that the community can be satirized in a mainstream video?

H: No, I find nothing problematic about Gaga's video. For someone to say that it is bad to have representation of LGBTQ people in prison in music is just ludicrous to me. To be able to poke, to parody ourselves means we have come a long way. They are missing the point. In addition, Gaga is exploiting all images in the video, including herself. The structure of the video claims everything from Thelma and Louise to early sexploitation films. My friend Michelle Johnson is an EXCELLENT filmmaker has made a film recently called Lezploitation, which reclaims of exploitation films of this era through a lesbian gaze. While Gaga may not be a lesbian, Gaga is clearly not straight but certainly she is queer. I don't see any problem with her reclaiming these images as well! END.
