Culture: Mind-blowing: Christopher Walken reads Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face”

  • This may in fact be the best thing Christopher Walken has done since “More Cowbell.” We realize that’s a high watermark, but he sounds AMAZING in this clip.

Politics: Who had the iconic line of the National Equality March? Lady Gaga

  • Obama, I know you are listening. Are you listening? We will continue to push you and your administration to bring your words of promise to a reality.
  • Lady Gaga • Speaking before a huge crowd of gay-rights supporters in Washington D.C. today. She didn’t have to put on her poker face, or tell the crowd, “Just Dance.” She made a passionate, smart push for gay rights at today’s march. We’re impressed. So impressed that we’ll avoid making the joke about her that we usually make when we post about her on the blog.  • source

Music: Lady Gaga’s going on tour by herself – without Kanye West

  • It was a mutual decision. Kanye’s going to take some time off. But the good news is that I’m going on tour in a few weeks.
  • Lady Gaga • Shedding some light on she canceled her joint tour with Kanye West. Remember that post-Taylor-Swift episode of Jay Leno where Kanye looked like he was at the edge of oblivion the second that Jay brought up his mom? Yeah, it was probably that. The “Fame Kills” tour might’ve been good, Imma let you finish, but Kanye probably needs some time to regroup. • source

Music: Hype kills: Kanye West and Lady Gaga’s “Fame Kills” tour axed

  • We blame 50 Cent, because why not? On November 10, the two most overstyled, vapid names in pop music were supposed to launch a co-headlining tour designed to make everyone forget how Kanye treated Taylor Swift (or that Lady Gaga is a possible hermaphrodite). But not long after 50 Cent called it the “Gay Tour,” it got cancelled. Coincidence? We think not. source

Culture: Miss Piggy’s out: Lady Gaga’s Kermit fetish goes to extremes

Lady Gaga decked out in a Kermit suit for no particular reason
  • If we were Miss Piggy, we’d probably be putting on our poker faces right about now and kicking some butt. Lady Gaga, everyone’s favorite modern pop oddity, showed up at the Video Music Awards with an already-taken frog, Kermit. And more power to him, too: Gaga’s pretty hot for a possible hermaphrodite. source

Music: We don’t think Lady Gaga said this, but we’re quoting it anyway

  • It’s not something that I’m ashamed of, just isn’t something that I go around telling everyone. Yes. I have both male and female genitalia, but I consider myself a female.
  • Lady Gaga • As she was supposedly quoted about her gender identity, which apparently gives credence to the claim she’s a hermaphrodite. The claims were given legs after a recent wardrobe malfunction made it look like the “Poker Face” singer was packing more than the usual. Regarding the claims, Gaga’s manager said: “This is completely ridiculous.” We’re inclined to agree. • source

Politics: The GOP latches onto a Lady Gaga parody as a shining example

  • 23-year-old Matt Damon … er, Peter Cowman is currently being used as a shining example of how to do social media right in terms of spreading a political message. Cowman, from Republican Rep. Dave Reichert’s district in Washington, re-wrote the lyrics to Lady Gaga’s newfangled classic “Just Dance” to criticize overspending in Congress and by Obama. It’s clever, but it’s no Penny guy or Auto-Tune the News. source

Music: ShortFormBlog’s Saturday mixtape for April 18, 2009

  • 1. Sampler wizard El Guincho, from Spain, manages to convey the loose vibe of ’60s Brazilian Tropicalia effortlessly on “Antillas,” from last year’s “Alegranza!”
  • 2. The Thermals are pretty much the best punk band the West Coast has to offer, and “A Pillar of Salt” from 2006’s “The Body, The Blood, The Machine,” is where to start.
  • 3. Lady GaGa’s blowing up so huge right now that it’s hard to ignore her, but even if you dislike her dance-pop, this piano ballad version of “Poker Face” is killer, and then some.
  • 4. Bonnie “Prince” Billy is the king of reworking R&B into the language of indie rock. His take on Mariah Carey’s “Can’t Take That Away (Mariah’s Theme)” is an irony-laden trip.
  • 5. M. Ward is getting a lot of attention for “Hold Time,” but his best album is still 2003’s “Transfiguration of Vincent.” “Dead Man” is a quiet highlight.
