Video - Lady Gaga’s ‘Born This Way’ and Madonna’s ‘Express Yourself’ Comparison – Plagiarism?

Lady Gaga is once again coming under pressure for copying Madonna.

This time the criticism comes in the form of a visual mashup between Gaga’s “Born this way” and Madonna’s “Express Yourself” music videos.

I have to say, the first time I heard “Born this way” it made me think of “Express Yourself” so I was not surprised to hear all the news and speculation of theft and plagiarism.

But it wasn’t until we saw this YouTube video putting the two songs side by side that it really started to sink in.

I would like to believe Gaga when she says this is all just a big coincidence, but the two songs are almost identical – even down to the dance moves, costumes and body language.

I can’t believe that someone in the Gaga camp did not pull her aside and say, “Look – it’s a little too close for comfort.”

The criticism has moved Gaga to tears and she denies she tried to copy Madonna – but the video tells a different story.

But all is fair in love and music I guess, because as Gaga was taking heat for copying Madonna, Weird Al Yankovic was taking money for copying Lady Gaga in his latest parody.

Regardless of who is right and who is the hypocrite, we suspect that once this video starts making the rounds the outcry will only grow louder.

And what do you do to top a dress made out of meat and arriving at a red carpet in an egg? How far can she go before her fans find her too eccentric?

You be the judge.

Lindsay Lohan Sentenced to 4 Months in Jail for Parole Violation

Lindsay Lohan was just sentenced to 120 days in jail for parole violation.

Lohan was in court today to answer to charges she stole a $2,500 necklace from a jewelry store.

Lindsay is already on probation – and has been for several years.

Judge Stephanie Sautner said a trail for her charge of felony theft can move forward and that Lohan had violated her parole.

The judge ordered her to immediately begin serving a 4 month jail sentence for the parole violation, and required her to do 12 weeks of community service at a women’s shelter and the morgue.

She was led out of the court room in handcuffs, then downstairs to be processed, and finally to her jail cell.

Lohan’s lawyer Shawn Holley said a bail bondsman was standing by to supply the $75,000 bail money, and that she would immediately file an appeal.

And another saga of Lindsay going to jail begins….

Queue the tabloids and cover your ears.

What happens if you put Peeps in the microwave?

Since Easter is near we wanted to revisit one of our favorite “Peeps in a microwave” videos.

The video is produced by Gagfilms.com and could very well be a vision into our future.

Obviously, you would not want to try this at home.

Will Ferrell is turning into Charlie Sheen - Video

Will Ferrell interrupted Conan O’Brien’s show again last night with more threats of cutting off O’Brien’s beard.

Ferrell dug deep into his comedy grab bag to channel a character that sounded a lot like, well, Charlie Sheen.

If Ferrell refined the character just a bit he would be a shoe in to play Sheen in the upcoming “Where are they now?” documentary.

O’Brien and Ferrell have been embraced in a major feud leading up to Will’s appearance on the show May 2nd.

Charlie Sheen Police Escort in Washington D.C. Under Investigation

Tuesday was a busy day for Charlie Sheen.

He started in L.A. in a court room fighting for custody of his children, and by nightfall he was racing to Washington D.C. on a private jet to do a show.

Sheen landed in D.C. almost an hour late and somehow was able to convince the D.C. police to give him a full escort to DAR Constitution Hall.

Sheen tweeted a picture of the speedometer at 80 MPH and lights flashing and said,

"In car with Police escort in front and rear! Driving like someone's about to deliver a baby! Cop car lights."


Now an internal investigation is underway by the Washington D.C. Police Department and they want to know how this all happened saying,

“Citizens of the District don’t want to see their police force used to escort private citizens and that Charlie Sheen, of all people, is getting a personal escort. This entire matter is under investigation.”

Please keep it simple guys. Just send Sheen a bill and I’m sure he’ll pay it.

Problem solved.

Donald Trump Now Picking on Jerry Seinfeld? – Don’t Be a Bully. You’re Fired!

Donald Trump seems to be lashing out at everybody these days.

Now he has gone after one of the nicest guys in Hollywood – Jerry Seinfeld.

And it’s all over Jerry canceling a St. Jude Children's Research Hospital fundraiser for his friend “The Donald.”

Seinfeld said he cancelled because he was tired of hearing Trump rant about taking all the oil in Iraq and Libya, and thinks his rants about Obama’s birth certificate are out of place.

Seinfeld is also amused that Trump thinks he would make a better Presidential candidate than Mitt Romney because he has more money and is more famous.

Donald then responded in what can only be called an uncomfortable and
abusive way,

"I just learned you canceled a show for my son's charity because of the fact that I am being very aggressive with respect to President Obama, who is doing an absolutely terrible job as our leader.”

“We don't care that you broke your commitment. What I do feel badly about is that I agreed to do, and did, your failed show, 'The Marriage Ref,' even though I thought it was absolutely terrible. . . . Despite its poor ratings, I didn't cancel on you like you canceled on my son and St. Jude. I only wish I did.”

"You should be ashamed of yourself!"

Can’t you just hear is creepy voice when you read those words?

If this is the way he treats his friends then I wouldn’t want to cross him.

Donald – you’re fired. Don’t be a bully AND an idiot.

And stop running for president – you’re just getting in the way. Those guys will squash you like a bug.

But your bad hair days are what keep us laughing at you!

Lindsay Lohan due in court on theft charges


By Sean O’Connell
  After numerous reports regarding Lindsay Lohan’s next potential acting gig – she has been linked to a role in the John Gotti film, though most of the reports seem to be coming out of LiLo’s camp, and not from the actual film’s producers – we’re right back to reporting on Lohan’s criminal activities, and all feels right with the world.
 
Lohan will be in court today, Friday, for a preliminary hearing regarding her potential involvement in the theft of a necklace from a California jewelry store. In typical Lohan fashion, she did her best to postpone the court hearing, citing religious beliefs. (It’s Good Friday, and Lohan claims to be Catholic, though she probably couldn’t tell you that “Thou shalt not steal” is a commandment.)






ABC News says that prosecutors “are expected to question the shop owner who says surveillance video shows the ‘Mean Girls’ actress walking out of the store wearing the designer necklace for which she had not paid.”
Lohan’s lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, meanwhile, will argue that the necklace’s value is less than $900, thereby reducing the charge to a misdemeanor.
As ABC News reports, Lohan “has already been to jail three times in the past three years for DUI, drug possession and probation violations.”
