Lady Gaga took on Edith Piaf’s signature tune “La Vie en Rose” during her weekend concerts with vintage crooner Tony Bennett at the Hollywood Bowl and pulled it off with aplomb.
If you need more proof that Tina Fey can enliven any dull awards show, witness her smooch with Amy Schumer while presenting the younger comic with a Peabody Award for her series Inside Amy Schumer. “I really wanted to come down here tonight, and in a Madonna kind of way try to like feed off of her youth and maybe suck her soul out in a very awkward, staged lesbian kiss,” Fey shared.
Justin Bieber is so comfortable with his sexual orientation that he can plant a peck on the cheek of his bodyguard. But let him make it clear that it’s not an insult if you think he’s gay.
“That’s so wonderful,” was Jessica Lange‘s response to being informed the entire internet has remarked on her resemblance to the recently unveiled Vanity Fair portraits of Caitlyn Jenner.
How about we take this to the next level?

Wanna see Adam Levine‘s sweet, tight little booty? We thought so. Check it out in the NSFW video for Maroon 5’s anthemic “This Summer’s Gonna Hurt Like a Motherfucker.”
Actress Betsy Palmer, who passed away over the weekend at age 88, had a long rewarding career but was undoubtedly best-known as the mother of monstrous Jason Vorhees in Friday the 13th. BroadwayWorld reports she was also “a staunch supporter of many non-profit organizations, including those involved in the fight against AIDS and in the care for AIDS patients.”
During an interview with GLAAD’s Claire Pires, Orphan Black star Tatiana Maslany got teary-eyed while explaining why she became an LGBT ally.
It’s not easy being Dolph Lundgren these days. Crazy drunk dudes hopped up on Xanax think they can just take a leak on you while you’re minding your own business on an airplane.

Bieber’s lips never touched the guy’s cheek. WITCH!
Kyle O'Flaherty
OK why had no one mentioned that Beiber has a Freaking HOVERBOARD? This should be the main story

The Biebs. Cutest guy in show business, hands down. Well, maybe it’s a tie with Dylan O’Brien.

Isn’t it amazing how a great artist can make someone else’s song their own? I can’t hear Gaga’s “La Vie en Rose” at the moment but, as far as I’m concerned, that song belongs to Grace Jones. It’s like realizing that “Close To You” was written for Herb Alpert and recorded by Dionne Warwick before The Carpenters made it their song.

We need more words for kiss. So, that news sources can’t distort things like this. That’s how most people kiss as a show of friendship & affection. I kiss my friends, & my parents like that. There are other kisses, that are the kisses of lovers. This, is not one of them.
Desert Boy
I love Jessica Lange’s reaction. I like her even more now.
Kangol
I remember The Big Cup, Roy’s Pizza, Paradise Cafe, the Rawhide, and so many more gay hotspots on that street. Now it’s all gone, replaced by bland suburban chains, empty storefronts, and frou-frou shops and restaurants for billionaires. No thanks!

Justin Bieber’s voice is irritating but I’d still have sex with him.

I thought we had finally heard the last of him

@MarionPaige: Edith Piaf IS “La vie en rose.” Here’s a late-in-life performance. YouTube for audio from when she was younger.

@Dylan J. Tate: SHHHHH! Be nice and not notice. Who knows, one day you might be a washed-up-thought-you-could-sing-and-dance joke of a performer doing whatever you can to stay in the press.
Actually, I think it looks cute the way he does it and the guys reaction. He does look a little old for the skateboard routine but cute still doing it. I sure wish I had that kind of money and problems (that I could have fixed in a heartbeat by coming back to reality).

Those Chelsea pics brought back some memories. And at night it was
the Roxy, Twilo. When Florent closed on Gansevoort it was truly the end of
an era.
The unofficial anointment of Chelsea as the epicenter of gay nyc life was when a
different light bookstore moved from Hudson street to 17th (or was it 18th)? Or
was that the beginning of the end?

Nice, tight, little ass on Levine.

But let (Bieber) make it clear that it’s not an insult if you think he’s gay. Yes, it’s an insult . . . to gay people!

@Chris: Thanks!

@Sluggo2007: Spot on.

This so called news is ridiculous. It was an air (freaking) kiss!

I wish Lady Gaga would stop fidgeting when she sings. Had to stop the video part way thru. And Adam Levine is cute but way too many tattoos.
Kelly Keigwin
That photo sure makes Bieber look like the train wreck he is. Blech.
Robert Casey
BigG
His bodyguard is delicious.
Curty
He denies being gay but it’s not an insult. When post a pic of you kissing a man on a cheek and add I’m not gay. Dude kiss the guy and let the photo speak for itself… other than denying you’re gay. He defeated the whole purpose or statement. He would’ve looked better if he said, “If you think I’m gay, so what!” Still has some growing up to do.
SportGuy
Bieber is nothing but trash.
tricky ricky
gaga doesn’t even come close to piaf’s or grace jones’ version of la vie en rose. any true homage to the great piaf requires squatting and taking a piss mid song. as for mr. Levine and his skinny ass, why are you giving us this bilge when you’ve been promising another songs about jane for years and instead keep turning out pop pap crap?
tricky ricky
@SportGuy: indeed.
anna27
He was responding to people in the comments sections calling him gay as if it was an insult, which happens regularly on his instagram posts. He posted a pic recently that was quite “pretty” and about half of the approx 50k comments were about how gay he looks.
Bob LaBlah
Forgive my bluntness everyone but is there really a difference between Gaga strangling that cat and this woman?

And now, the one and only Ms. Grace Jones doing it RIGHT!

@Bob LaBlah:
Nice choices! Loves me some Grace Jones, with whom I’m frequently confused. We’re practically twins. I needed that. What a day!
“Warm.—–Leatherette.”
On another note…Adam Levine. Watched on mute. Not a fan of his music but nice sexy little bod.
MarionPaige
We are finding out that there was a lot of talented people behind what we saw as Grace Jones but, whoever thought up Grace Jones’ version of “La vie en rose” was very innovative.
There are artists like Leon Russell who write incredible songs but who aren’t exactly incredible performers. Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen was made famous by Jeff Buckley and it is now almost becoming KD Lang’s signature song.
“Running Up That Hill” is an incredible song. I thought it was written by Placebo but it turns out it was written and performed by Kate Bush. The song has a completely different effect performed by Placebo.
Bob LaBlah
@MarionPaige: Speaking of k.d. lang (I don’t know why she always used small letters but that was her signature) wasn’t that terrible how the Country Music Awards people totally ignored her? Not surprised that young gay folks accept trash such as Gaga but ignore…….anyway. Hope all see this enjoy it.
