Lady Gaga In Mourning For Beloved Godfather

Poor Lady Gaga has announced via Twitter that she is in grieving for her beloved godfather.

Poor Lady Gaga has announced via Twitter that she is in grieving for her beloved godfather.

Lady Gaga and the Germanotta family are in mourning for the 'Bad Romance' singer's beloved godfather.

Gaga posted a tweet which paid tribute to the man who played a very special part in her life, along with an adorable picture of the two together:

“My godfather died yesterday, sweet man I love him. That’s me, just a lil baby in his arms. Buono note.”

Baby Gaga and her godfather

July 29 2012 (Lady Gaga / Twitter)

The snap definitely shows just how much Lady Gaga meant to her godfather, even before she shot to fame as Mother Monster - just look at the proud grin on his face.

It's a well known fact that godparents have a much larger role in traditional Italian families, often sharing a bond with their little godchild far greater than that of blood relatives - after all, they were chosen to be honoured with the relationship.

Our thoughts are with Lady Gaga at this difficult time.

Lady Gaga posts naked photo, Lindsay Lohan shots AND announces Machete role

Lady Gaga has announced her first film role by posting the brilliant promo photo to her website. She uploaded the shot of her in Robert Rodriguez’s film, Machete Kills, last night. She’ll be playing La Chameleon in the movie, and the director confirmed it on Twitter, saying: "I just finished working with @LadyGaga on @MacheteKills... Holy Smokes. Blown away!"

This won’t be her first acting role – she once appeared as an extra in The Sopranos – but it will be her first film role, in the sequel to Machete. Which, incidentally, starred Lindsay Lohan.

Which brings us nicely (not that they needed much introduction) to the photos Gaga has posted of her and Lindsay Lohan living it up in the Chateau Marmont. As noted in heat’s spotted section, the pair were seen out last week at the LA hotel where Lindsay used to live.

Gaga tweeted about her companion’s bizarre request for cucumber at the bar: “@lindsaylohan when you ordered a cucumber and a knife to the bar last night i thought your were gonna perform a vasectomy #justaskinnyb***h.”

She also posted a photo of the knife, the glasses and the cucumber (sounds like the title of a bizarre fairytale, doesn’t it?)

Lindsay responded: “#skinnysnack1‬ @ladygaga hahaha”

Strangely, Gaga has since deleted her tweets. But it seems everything's cool - otherwise why would Gaga post the photos? The women spent the evening hanging out and play dress-up along with model-turned-photographer Ellen Von Unwerth, who we believe took some of the photos Gaga’s posted (they look properly arty).

A source told X17Online: “[They were] watching old movies and playing board games [at the] slumber party. The three of them had dinner in the garden on Tuesday night at Chateau, and then Lindsay and Gaga ran upstairs to play dress up and came down in different outfits.”

And Lady Gaga’s photos prove it. They’re recreating old movies by dressing up in fur and tiaras, with shopping bags all around. Lindsay’s smoking (both literally smoking a ciggie and looking smoking hot) and Ellen’s playing with Lindsay’s hair – maybe braiding it?

Though they look a bit worse for wear, it’s understandable that they might have had a few drinks – what does anyone do on a girly night in?

Oh, and just in case you hadn't seen enough, these aren’t the only photos Gaga’s put online today. There’s one of her (nearly) naked in a New York hotel room after the opening of the Gaga workshop at Barney’s shop. Busy lady!

Lady Gaga Will Make Acting Debut In 'Machete Kills'

'Filming was insane,' Gaga tweets about her role as Lady Chameleon in Robert Rodriguez's upcoming flick, also starring Charlie Sheen.

Lady Gaga can now add "actress" to her long list of accomplishments. On Thursday (July 26), director Robert Rodriguez revealed that Lady Gaga will make her acting debut in his much-anticipated flick "Machete Kills," taking on the role of Lady Chameleon.

"I just finished working with @LadyGaga on @MacheteKills," Rodriguez tweeted. "She kicked SO MUCH ASS! Holy Smokes. Blown away!"

Shortly after, Gaga confirmed the news to her 27 million-plus Twitter fans: "Yes its true, I will be making my debut as an actress in the amazing MACHETE KILLS BY @RODRIGUEZ," Gaga tweeted. "IM SO EXCITED!!! AH! Filming was insane."

Little is known about Gaga's character, Lady Chameleon, but the new actress did post a photo of herself in character, and in true Gaga fashion, everyone is talking about what she is wearing. Sporting short blond hair, Gaga looks sultry as she holds a smoking gun with a full white wolf wrapped around her body.

Lady Gaga joins an impressive roster of castmembers including Mel Gibson, Danny Trejo, Jessica Alba, Demián Bichir, Amber Heard, Zoe Saldana, Sofia Vergara and Charlie Sheen taking on the role of President of the United States.

"Machete Kills" is a sequel to Rodriguez's 2010 "Machete," which began as a fake B-movie trailer in Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino's 2007 "Grindhouse." In Rodriguez's next installment of the planned trilogy, Machete is being recruited by the U.S. government to travel through Mexico to stop a cartel leader and an arms dealer who has launched a weapon into space.

With the movie being released next year, Gaga is gearing up for a big 2013. She has been hard at work on her follow-up album to 2011's Born This Way and gave fans a sneak peek by playing a new song out of her car in New York City. In September, Gaga is expected to reveal the title of her much-anticipated new album.

Lady Gaga Tapping Whitesnake Guitarist For New Album?

The Mother Monster is rumored to have hit the studio with Doug Aldrich in L.A.

Lady Gaga may be embracing her love of rock again on her next album. According to rumors, the singer hit the studio with Whitesnake guitarist Doug Aldrich.

Fansite Propagaga was the first to share the news about the rumored musical collaboration, which is said to have taken place in the City of Angels. "Whitesnake guitarist, Doug Aldrich, was recording with Gaga today in L.A.," the site tweeted. "@DJWS [DJ White Shadow] is rumored to have been in studio, as well."

A rep for the singer did not respond to MTV News' request for comment by press time, but the Mother Monster suggested on her own Twitter page earlier this month that she would be working with pal White Shadow on her next album.

This is hardly Gaga's first dalliance with the rock genre. She worked with Queen's Brian May on her last album, Born This Way, on the track "Yoü and I," which was produced by the equally legendary Mutt Lange. She also worked with the late Clarence Clemons, who played saxophone on"Edge of Glory," further proving her love for rock and roll. That track was produced by White Shadow, along with Fernando Garibay.

Slowly but surely tracks are coming together for Gaga's new release, her follow-up to 2011's Born This Way. She recently teased fans with a new song, blasting it out of her car while in New York City. She even implied that the dance track would be the first single. She previously tweeted that DJ White Shadow was the producer behind the lead single off the release.

Gaga has also been playing her new piano-heavy song "Princess Die" while on tour. During one stop, she opened up a bit about her next album, whose title she will announce in September. "Let's just say I feel, I feel that when I wrote Born This Way, I demonstrated a sense of maturity," she said.

"And I feel that on the next album there's a lack of maturity — it's a tremendous lack of maturity or sense of responsibility."

Rihanna wants message from dead grandmother

The 'Rude Boy' singer has been rocked by the loss of her beloved grandparent Clara 'Dolly' Braithwaite on June 30, and is hoping she will send her some sort of message from the afterlife to let her know she is still watching over her.

Referring to her by her nickname, she tweeted: 'I wish u were here ... Got so many questions and you always had answers #grangranDOLLY

'Send a message in the wind or something please #grangranDOLLY (sic)'

Rihanna is reported to be spending time with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown in the South of France and her desire to speak to 'Dolly' could come from her need for advice on whether she should get involved again with the man who brutally assaulted in February 2009.

Rihanna cancelled her appearance at the Rock In Rio festival in Madrid, Spain, and flew back to her native Barbados to be with her mother Monica after the death of her grandmother.

She then attended both funeral services held for Clara, one in New York and another in Barbados.

Rihanna frequently talks to her passed grandparent directly in her tweets, paying tribute after her passing by writing: 'Goodbye grangranDolly get your beauty rest until I see you. grangranDolly that is all. (sic)'

Before her Barbados funeral, she wrote: 'grangranDolly time for your party in Barbados. (sic)'

Rihanna has become increasingly spiritual in her tweets since 'Dolly' died, writing yesterday: 'I put it all in Your hands!!! I love my Creator!!!! #1Love #1Life (sic).'

She has also retweeted a post by Spiritual Truths, hinting at her love life: 'Love is calling you, the happiness you seek is written within the heart, take notice of your feelings & find your way home.'

Chris Brown and Rihanna Together again in the Mediterranean?

Rihanna and Chris Brown have traveled some rough seas in the past, first together, then very much apart. But have the two singers been canoodling on a boat in the South ofFrance? 

Here's what we know: Rihanna has been on an extended vacation with girlfriends, first indulging a retail-heavy stint on Sardinia, an island off the coast of Italy.

From there the gang drifted to the French region of the Mediterranean, where she relaxed and partied on her rented yacht with the likes of Magic Johnson in St. Tropez, the Daily Mail said. Chris Brown conveniently touched down on a boat himself, also in St. Tropez, where he's in town to film a music video with rapper Ludacris.

Brown reportedly joined Rihanna in Sardinia, according to the New York Daily News, prior to joining Luda for the video shoot.

"He was probably there for two days," the newspaper said, claiming an eyewitness had seen Brown present with Rihanna's group, adding, "[She] doesn’t want anyone to know that they are together."

For good reason: The two have faced endless criticism for remaining friendly, even working together, since Brown assaulted RiRi ahead of the 2009 Grammy Awards and earned a felony conviction for it.

Sardinia or not, Brown's current presence in France is strictly business, his rep said. "There is no Rihanna connection," the spokesperson told Hollyscoop, adding that Breezy's girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, is in tow.

Complicating matters: Rihanna's delirious and profane (you've been warned) Twitter feed. All vacation long she's been sending brooding shots of herself in repose to her "baby" or "boo."

Not to mention Sunday, when Brown landed in St. Tropez via helicopter, Rihanna tweeted, "Touch down baby, help me pick out my fit," presumably referring to her ensemble. 

No matter their relationship status, these two still know how to make waves.

Taylor Swift New Hair Color 2012

I’ve told you before that 2012 seems to be the year of dramatic and unexpected makeovers, do you remember that?! For sure, some of you do remember while there are others who don’t remember or even know when I’ve said such a thing! Anyways, it doesn’t really matter as I’ve said it again! Today, I bring a big surprise for you all especially the fans and followers of the gorgeous singer and occasional actress Taylor Swift. 

By the way, like usual, that surprise is related to her hair and nothing else. That’s made me to ask you; do you think it’s a new hair style, cut or color?! Hu, think! Smart me, you can figure out directly from the topic’s title that it’s definitely about a new hair color. So the reasonable question has to be which hair color do you think she has opted for?! I can guess that many of you are going to say; ‘Crazy you! Undoubtedly, she has opted for dying her long hair with any shade of the blonde color!’. I don’t want to ruin your hopes or dreams, but i have to tell you that this time she hasn’t opted for that color even it’s her most, most favorite one. 

Just before I’m going to reveal what her new hair color is, I have to tell you to prepare yourself for being greatly shocked. Ok, don’t believe me, but remember that i told you! People, Taylor has dyed her shiny long hair locks brunette. Yup, brunette! Dramatic makeover, isn’t it?! Of course, it’s! None of us can deny that.

Despite that, she still has the same gorgeous, awesome and sexy look! You can say that different hair colors, but the same look. I know that you’ve many questions flowing in your minds as; how have you known that?, where have you seen her wearing a dark brunette hair?, how has it been styled? and others. Also, I’m sure that some of you may have another question which is; ‘Is it a wig?!’. Okay, starting with the last one, I guess that it’s not a wig at all. Maybe, I’m wrong and you’re right. 

Concerning the first couple of questions, I have to tell you that she has revealed her new hair color during the photo session of the new Covergirl magazine cosmetics ads which all we know that she’s been the main star of. During that session, her brunette hair has been seen on the straight and soft curly styles which have been nothing but gorgeous, stunning, sexy and alluring like usual! I guess that by that way, I answered all of the questions that might come across your minds and now is your turn. Yup, my ladies, I’m going to leave you with few but sort of confusing questions and consider that I’m waiting for your answers. The first question is ‘Do you think that she’s going to make a U-turn and back to her trademark blonde hair?’. 

The second one is ‘Do you expect that she’d opt for more drastic changes by cutting her hair or styling it in a brandy new way?!’. Just it!! I think that now is the time of saying goodbyes..

Carly Rae Jepsen on Justin Bieber duet: 'I'm sworn to secrecy'

Carly Rae Jepsen has described her duet with Justin Bieber as top secret.

The 'Call Me Maybe' star recently revealed that a collaboration with Bieber will appear on her upcoming disc. Bieber apparently recommended the track to Jepsen on their very first meeting.

In an interview with MTV News, she remained coy when asked for specifics about the song.

"The Justin song, I'm kind of sworn to secrecy on because I think we want to release it together at one moment," the singer said, adding: "But the rest of the album, I'm really excited for!"

Jepsen added that she is similarly proud of another track called 'The Kiss', which features RedFoo of LMFAO.

"[The sound is] definitely in my vein, but [RedFoo's] a really brilliant guy, and I think if anything when a collaboration happens, it's a little bit of everybody that makes it what it is. So maybe not just me and not just him, but us together," she explained.

Jepsen's studio album is expected to be released later this year.

New Planet Found, Smaller Than Earth, Orbiting Distant Star

Thirty-three light-years away, in the constellation Leo the lion, astronomers say they have found a world considerably smaller than Earth, orbiting a dim red-dwarf star.

That's something to think about. While scientists have confirmed the existence of more than 700 so-called exoplanets since 1995, most of them have been giant -- many considerably larger than Jupiter. This new world, say the researchers who found it, may be only 5,200 miles across, about two thirds as large as Earth.

"People have been picking at the low-hanging fruit, since Jupiter-sized planets are easier to see," said Kevin Stevenson, the young researcher at the University of Central Florida who led the team making the find. "Now we're really pushing the limits of what our telescopes can find."

The newly found world is, for now, called UCF-1.01, and Stevenson and his colleagues found it with NASA's Spitzer space telescope in Earth orbit. It orbits a star called GJ 436. They spent a year watching it to confirm that it was indeed a distant world. They are publishing their find online Thursday in the Astrophysical Journal.

UCF-1.01 is probably not a very nice place. Stevenson and his group calculated that it whips around its host star in only 1.4 Earth-days, at a distance of about 1.6 million miles (we're 93 million miles from our sun). Temperatures on its surface probably exceed 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit, raising the possibility that some of it is molten, covered in lava. Any atmosphere would have boiled away long ago, said the researchers.

They could not see it directly -- its sun is nothing but a dot in a telescope -- but they could see a tiny dip in the star's brightness as the disc of UCF-1.01 passed in front of it. For now, they cannot even calculate its mass; current technology is not good enough for a reliable number.

Nobody will be launching a mission to UCF-1.01 anytime soon; there are other worlds, including moons of Jupiter and Saturn, that look much more promising as homes for living things. Still, the find suggests that if this world could be detected, others -- perhaps in the so-called habitable zones around their host stars -- may soon be found as well.

"The discovery was completely by accident," said Stevenson in a telephone interview with ABC News. They were looking at another, much larger planet orbiting the same star, "and there were these spurious signals we could not explain."
