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

Culture: Octet mom Nadya Suleman: My angels-in-waiting? Not really angels.

The group was providing training services to nannies paid on Suleman’s dime. (They initially offered around-the-clock service, but scaled back.) The group apparently was making complaints to child services. “It started out adversarial and never really resolved itself,” said Suleman attorney Jeff Czech. source

Offbeat: NYC’s finest didn’t stop terrorism, but they did deliver a baby

  • 7:20 a.m. Seven pounds. In Penn Station.

Aww, that’s the cutest thing we’ve ever heard related to the word terrorism! source

Culture: Did octet mom Nadya Suleman rip off Angelina Jolie?

  • It’s one thing to clip out a celebrity’s photo from a magazine and ask your stylist to copy that cut. Who hasn’t done that? But to have a nose job, have collagen injections in your lips and start talking like Angelina – that’s over the top.
