Lady Gaga Releases "Born This Way" Country Version

Lady Gaga Releases "Born This Way" Country Version

Lady Gaga might be a pop star, but that doesn’t mean Mother Monster can’t get a little bit country! In the wee hours of Friday morning, Gaga posted a link to a country version of her new hit single "Born This Way" on her official Twitter page.

The original song has drawn multiple comparisons to Madonna's 1989 hit "Express Yourself." Gaga's country version of the single has more of an acoustic sound, slowed down with harmonica played throughout. Mama Monster also added a lyric that says: "If I wanna make it contry, baby, it's OK! 'Cause I was born, I was born, I was born this way!" Listen for yourself below!

 

We're betting Gaga's new album, which she described in a recent Google interview as "avant-garde, techno rock," is a little bit country, a little bit pop, but mostly indescribable by a single genre!

The record, also titled Born This Way, drops in May.

Penelope Cruz Talks About Johnny Depp?s Potty Humor

Penelope Cruz Talks About Johnny Depp?s Potty Humor

Johnny Depp might be an A-list actor, but he's certainly not above some dirty humor! On Jimmy Kimmel Live, actress Penelope Cruz reminisced about working alongside Depp in 2001.

"He fooled me once when we were doing Blow," she said. "I was doing a very dramatic close-up, and he kept making a (fart sound) with the (fart) machine... I was just thinking, 'I hope they're not thinking it's me!'"

Now, 10 years later, Cruz and Depp are back together again on the silver screen for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. But now, Depp's "fart machine" has advanced along with technology.

"When I met him 10 years ago, he had a plastic (fart machine)," Cruz said. "And now, 10 years later, he has one with a remote control."

Depp apparently uses his special gadget to prank director Rob Marshall and producer Jerry Bruckheimer more than Cruz these days. "I only have good things to say about (Depp)," she said.

Watch for yourself below!

 

It's nice to see that despite fame and fortune, Depp doesn't take himself too seriously!

Michael Jackson may have dubbed himself the King of Pop, but the late icon didn't hold the box-office crown for long. Less than a year after the posthumous MJ documentary "This Is It" became the most successful concert-themed film in U.S. history, Justin Bieber is poised to snatch the mantle.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Justin Bieber: Never Say Never" has earned $72.2 million in domestic box office so far, passing Jackson's $72.1 million haul. And while Bieber has racked up those impressive numbers in just six weeks, he's got a long way to go before he laps the global receipts for the MJ doc.

"This Is It" has grossed $189.1 million overseas for a global total of $261.2 million. Music films don't typically play well overseas, and THR noted that "Never Say Never" has grossed a more modest $10.8 million overseas so far, with Paramount executives predicting that it could top out around $20 million internationally.

The impressive U.S. numbers were likely goosed by the re-release of the film recently with 40 additional minutes of bonus footage from director Jon M. Chu. Bieber still has a little way to go to climb the list of the top-grossing documentaries of all time. "Never Say Never" is currently stalled out at the #3 position, around $5 million behind "March of the Penguins," according to Box Office Mojo, and well short of the all-time record held by Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11," which has taken in $119.1 million to date.

Bieber set off a classic MJ-style fan frenzy a few weeks ago when he visited Liverpool, England, for his world tour. And just a week later, he posed with his new wax figure at London's Madame Tussauds, checking off another item on the list of milestones to an MJ-like career.

Bobbi Kristina Gets Her Own Reality Show!? Michelle Obama To Speak At Spelman Commencement

 

 

Whitney and Bobby's daughter, Bobbi Kristina, may follow in Bobby's footsteps and star in a reality show of her own.  Get the deets inside plus see what lucky graduates will get to hear Michelle Obama this summer...

 

On the heels of "Being Bobby Brown," Bobbi Kristina tweeted that she is in talks to do a reality show.  And if she is anything like her parents, it will be must see tv.

Her tweet said,

“PS EVERYONE ! Guess what ?! _ we are currently in the process of meetings about starting my very OWN! RealityShow!!” 

Sigh....makes me wonder if opening herself up to the public is the best thing.  Especially since those pics of her allegedly snorting cocaine surfaced. 

But she seems to be excited about the attention tweeting,

“The world needs 2know me 4who I REALLY am_ U all will get 2see my everyday living_ walk with me thro startin my career. . EVERYTHING.  I would only want to do this reality show so THEWORLD can know me for me. The GodFearing_Young classy_outgoing_silly_ REAL women iAm.”

 

I don't think this is a good idea...but I'll be watching.

 

Michelle Obama, one of the most admired women in America, will deliver the commencement address at Spelman College this year.  

A White House source told theGrio.com, "In a personal address, the first lady will discuss her upbringing, and the significance of being part of the first generation in her family to graduate from college.  She will also encourage the graduates to continue to serve their communities, embrace the challenges ahead of them, and strive to fulfill their ambitious goals."

This is just one of many speeches Mrs. Obama will give this summer.  She is also expected to speak at the University of Northern Iowa, the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and to graduates of the Quantico Middle High School in Quantico, Virginia this June.
