Recently in Lady Gaga Category

We mentioned recently that Lady Gaga staged a sort of protest against the military's anti-gay policy at last Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards, when she brought a group of gay and lesbian armed service members -- no longer serving, since having been forced out as a result of their sexuality -- as her guests to the award ceremony. Gaga has been particularly particularly vocal about the issue in recent weeks (probably since Congressional debate on the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell has become intensified), and on September 16, she put out a video calling for its repeal, and urging her fans to call their Senators.

Rumor has it that Madonna, the 80s-era cone-bra-wearing pop-star-provocateur, is desperate to tour with Lady Gaga -- our current iteration of that particular pop phenomenon. Sure, Madonna still has some worthy name recognition in the music industry, and many, many, many people still totally adore her. But would Gaga + Madge be a little bit... much? And would Madonna possibly be at risk of coming up short in comparison with Lady Gaga? I'm just remembering their SNL duet from last fall, where the two paired up, and the results were ...  well, kind of awkward.  Of course, it's likely that the two of them would require more stage equipment known to the history of live music performances. And the result might be spectacular.

Lady Gaga is no longer just the best-selling pop singer in America -- she's also the most-followed person on Twitter. The mega-star recently hit Twitter follower number 5,726,168 -- besting former Tweet-Leader, Britney Spears, who at last count had 5,697,943. The race is still tight, however -- and with a little momentum (and maybe a publicity campaign) -- Brit might have a chance to gain some ground. But hey, after (or, preferably, before) you're done deciding between Teams Britney and Gaga, don't forget to follow us at http://twitter.com/tizapromdresses ! 

Does it look anything like yours? 

Forbes' Celebrity 100 list has been revealed, and there were some interesting entries on the list. Oprah, of course, was back on top (after being unceremoniously ousted from her rightful place by Angelina Jolie last year), and stars like Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Swift, Robert Pattinson and Miley Cyrus all got mentions as well. Britney Spears was also on there -- with the surprisingly-high sixth place spot. (Tina Fey, on the other hand, barely made the cut at number 90.) Sadly, though, the list was rather male-heavy: Despite a promising start (6 of the top 10 were women) only 35 women made the list at all. 

This needs little in the way of explanation: Happy Friday!
