Lady GaGa was born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta in Yonkers, New York in 1986. Before she was famous, Germanotta performed at Ultraviolet Live, New York University's annual talent show. The first song she performed was "Captivated," the second, "Electric Kiss." Germanotta placed third in the competition behind Funky Butter and the winning act, Tom Costello and Stephan Magloire.

More than 75 stars -- from the legendary Barbra Streisand to rapper Lil Wayne and actor Vince Vaughn -- gathered at Hollywood's Henson Recording Studios yesterday (Feb. 1) to record the 25th anniversary version of "We Are The World." Like its predecessor, "We Are The World - 25 For Haiti" features a diverse lineup: this time ranging from Streisand and Celine Dion to actor Jeff Bridges. But it also boasts a major hip-hop contingent (Kanye West, Lil Wayne, LL Cool J, Akon, Kid Cudi, Drake), young newcomers (Jonas Brothers, Justin Bieber) and major-league high technology. "This is like running through hell with gasoline underwear," said Quincy Jones with a laugh late last night during a five-minute recording break. The video for "We Are the World - 25 For Haiti" will world premiere in 3D during NBC's coverage of the Opening Ceremony of the Vancouver Winter Olympics on Friday, Feb. 12. Academy Award-winning writer/director Paul Haggis ("Crash," "Million Dollar Baby") directed the video, an online version will feature green screen, allowing viewers to place themselves in the We Are the World lineup as well.

Remember that whole Mel Gibson's DUI arrest/anti-Semitic rant thing? Yeah, we do, too. But that's all in the past, people. Still, the actor-director, who's out promoting his new film Edge of Darkness, appears to retain strong feelings about the situation. So much so that he called a reporter an "asshole" on TV for bringing it up. When interviewed on WGN in Chicago, the actor bristled when asked about events of the past (though Gibson did, um, ask reporter Dean Richards to elucidate which parts of his past might be referring to). Things got tense—which could have allowed Mel to quip, "You think this is tense, check out Edge of Darkness!" Instead, they finished up the interview, after which Gibson loudly swigged his coffee and muttered his withering put-down. |
