NEW YORK (AP) - Lady Gaga launched her debut perfume while being inside a giant-sized perfume bottle.

The avant garde pop star was in a large bottle - a replica of her "Fame" fragrance - appearing in the transparent glass where attendees took photos and watched the singer get a tattoo on her neck.

The entertainer entered the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum on New York's Upper East Side on Thursday night on top of a convertible. She posed for pictures and interacted with some fans.

Inside, she laid in the bottle in a sparkly top, black skirt and red wig. Then she took off some clothing and a wig - now appearing in lingerie, including a thong - and began receiving a tattoo of the back of her neck (she shaved the bottom half of the back of her head this week).

Gaga applied makeup and played on an iPad inside the bottle, where she was joined by four others. Edith Piaf played in background, as did David Bowie's "Fame" and various songs that featured Kanye West. She got her tattoo - and danced in her seat - as West's latest hit "Mercy" blasted in the background.

The masquerade black tie event featured a few hundred people, mostly dressed with eye masks and headgear. Celebrity attendees included Yoko Ono, Marc Jacobs, Paris Hilton, Michael Strahan, Jason Wu and Lindsay Lohan, who arrived late for the event.

Gaga also debuted a short film called "Lady Gaga Film" for the fragrance in collaboration with director Steven Klein.

The Grammy-winning singer released her multiplatinum debut, "The Fame," in 2008. That was followed by the platinum-selling albums "The Fame Monster" and last year's "Born This Way."

Kristen Bell And Dax Sheppard Earn Good Reviews For The Charming ‘Hit & Run’

Watching  Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard in Hit & Run, it’s easy to see that the real-life couple had a lot of fun making the movie.

Made with a small budget and both written and directed by Dax Shepard, the movie oozes with charm and the natural chemistry between the lead characters helps push it along in between the frequent car chases. The Associated Press notes that the film’s small budget causes it to stick to no-frills action scenes, but instead to scant resources put into Hit & Run are used to create a fun and engaging storyline.

Hit & Run is about Dax Shepard’s character, Charlie Bronson, trying to outrun his past life as a bank robbery getaway driver and move on with girlfriend played by Kristen Bell. But when Bell’s character is offered a job on Los Angeles, he is forced to leave his life in the witness protection program and face his former partners.

Dax Shepard made sure that Hit & Run had plenty of room for his acting friends, making parts catered for Bradley Cooper, Tom Arnold, Kristin Chenoweth and his former Parenthood co-star Joy Bryant.

The formula works, The Associated Press notes:

The result is like a student film made by pros, weirdly idiosyncratic but efficiently paced. It’s well-scripted and well-acted, and if Hit & Run lingers too long on so-so gags and inside jokes Shepard and his friends found particularly funny, it compensates with a freewheeling spirit that pulls viewers along for the ride.

Much of Hit & Run is just cooking up reasons for Dax Shepard to drive Kristen Bell on a series of car chases in exotic vehicles, including a 1967 Lincoln Continental, the New York Times noted. But despite the high-octane action, the real attraction is the chemistry between Shepard and Bell,The Associated Press wrote.

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!

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.
