VH1 counts down Lady Gaga's craziest outfits

Lady-Gaga-frog-dressImage Credit: Fame PicturesSince Lady Gaga popped on the scene a few years ago, she’s been known for her epic songs and sense of style. Last night, VH1 premiered its latest season of The Short List focusing on the pop star’s gift of outrageous garb, called 10 Craziest Lady Gaga Fashion Moments.

“That girl is on fashion crack,” proclaimed Barneys creative directer Simon Doonan as they counted down Gaga’s wildest outfits. No. 1o was the platinum lobster headpiece and chicken claw bracelet she wore to dinner at Mr. Chow in London earlier this year. No. 8 was her staple bubble dress. She’s worn different versions of it to perform and once on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.

When Gaga was scheduled to meet Queen Elizabeth last December, most people thought she’d arrive in something more casual. Those people were sadly mistaken. Gaga shook the Queen’s hand in a red latex gown, coming in at No. 6 on the list. No. 3 was personally my No. 1. Last July, Jim Henson was rolling in his grave, as Gaga wore a smock-like top made of Kermit frog heads. That fit was nuts.

No. 1. was the coned bra spitting fiery sparks she wore to 2009′s Much Music Awards. But really, ten outfits just aren’t enough to chronicle Gaga’s abundance of awe-inspiring costumes. What are your favorite Gaga outfits? Do you think VH1 placed their selection properly? Let us know.

'Vampires Suck' trailer: The folks behind 'Disaster Movie' take aim at 'Twilight,' 'Jersey Shore,' and Lady Gaga

vampires-suckI’ve spent a lot more time zoning out on my couch to the spoof films Epic Movie, Date Movie, Meet the Spartans, and Disaster Movie than I would care to admit. They do tend to feature an awful lot of jokes — even if said gags are of a decidedly uneven quality — and at least one of those movies always seems to be, well, on. And, hey, they’re better than the Twilight films, right? (Note: the opinion of this writer does not necessarily reflect that of Entertainment Weekly as a whole, but can be further investigated in his Eclipse: A Hater’s Guide post.)

Ooh, I feel a nice segue coming on!

That’s right, the guys behind those movies — writer-directors Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer — have turned their attention towards Bella, Edward, and Jacob for the pair’s latest spoof-o-rama, Vampires Suck, which, judging by the new trailer, also takes aim at Jersey Shore and Lady Gaga.

You can see the clip after the break. Take a look and tell us what you think!

Ryan Seacrest and Laurie Ann Gibson's new dance show for E!: What should it look like?

seacrest-Laurie-Ann-GibsonImage Credit: PRN/PR Photos; Mark Dye/PR PhotosE! and Ryan Seacrest are teaming up with Lady Gaga choreographer Laurie Ann “Boom Kat Pow!” Gibson for a series about choreographers and dancers in Los Angeles. On one hand UGH, yet another dance show; on the other, Laurie Ann Gibson is crazy and that has to be worth something.

I’d like to see this new series focus on choreographers — maybe watching them compete to see which one can concoct the most exciting weekly routines for a set pool of dancers — or at least I think it would make sense for a series to do that. Because let’s be honest: With So You Think You Can Dance, America’s Best Dance Crew, Dancing With the Stars, Dance Your Ass Off, and CBS’ upcoming Got to Dance, who isn’t experiencing competitive dance series fatigue right about now? At this point in time, E! might be better off considering a single-camera comedy featuring Ryan Seacrest, all alone on a stage, trying desperately to keep up with the 2005 dance-along DVD Breakin’ It Down with Laurie Ann Gibson. It might get higher ratings. But I am being a total jerk today due to the heat. What do you want this show to look like? [THR]

Johnny Weir on 'Closet Confessions' and possible 'Dancing With the Stars' future: 'I think it would be great if I won and Evan [Lysacek] wasn't able to win.'

Johnny-WeirImage Credit: Frazer Harrison/Getty ImagesThe closing ceremonies for the Winter Olympics are well behind us, but three-time U.S. Men’s Champion and two-time Olympian Johnny Weir isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Known for his iconic style, today Weir is opening his closet, full of daring fashions, on Bluefly.com’s Closet Confessions. Weir joins the ranks of Project Runway winner Christian Siriano, Kell on Earth’s Kelly Cutrone, heiress Nicky Hilton, and The City’s Roxy Olin, all of whom have shared behind-the-scene closet footage with Bluefly.com. “It means that a huge retailer, like Bluefly, thinks a lot of my style and thinks a lot of what I have to bring to the table as far as fashion is concerned. And I’m honored,” Weir says. But fashion isn’t all that’s on his plate in the coming months. Here, he opens up about his style, making music, and his desire to join the cast of Dancing With the Stars.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: You’re known for some outrageous fashion choices. How would you describe your style?
JOHNNY WEIR:
I’d say in general, my style is Johnny Weir style. It’s my style. I can’t classify it as anything else. I’m very conscious of my body, and the way I’m built. I have really big thighs, but I’m tiny up top. And I have a little head, so I can’t really wear things that are huge up there. I have a very clear idea of my body and what style would work on me. And I love playing. I think I’m a student of both schools. The Coco Chanel philosophy of take one thing off before you leave the house, but also the school of enough is never enough. So I try to play in between those worlds. READ FULL STORY »

Forbes power list: Women on top

Lady-GagaImage Credit: Rob Verhorst/Redferns/Getty ImagesMemo to Angelina Jolie: Charity work doesn’t make you powerful. That seems to be the message from today’s announcement of Forbes magazine’s annual celebrity power list, where women may have claimed three of the top five slots, but Jolie, last year’s top-ranked star, fell to No. 18. (Though Jolie has been keeping relatively busy filming projects like Salt and The Tourist, she hasn’t actually had a film in theaters since 2008.) Rather, this year’s top five were (in order) Oprah Winfrey, Beyoncé, James Cameron, Lady Gaga, and Tiger Woods, a lineup determined by income and media presence. Elsewhere on the list, Robert Pattinson (No. 50) outranked James Patterson (No. 53), Alec Baldwin (No. 88) edged out Tina Fey (No. 90), and — since I know you all were wondering — Justin Bieber was nowhere to be found.

Weird Al considers Lady Gaga parody. Let's suggest some titles!

Weird-Al-Lady-GagaImage Credit: Lee Roth/PR Photos; Matt Kent/WireImage.comAccording to Billboard, Weird Al is considering parodying Lady Gaga on his next album. But…he’s not sure yet. Obviously, this needs to happen, so let’s help the guy out by suggesting some titles for his songs. I’ll go first: “Just Lance,” a tune about everyone’s favorite ‘NSYNC frosted-tip-topped singer: “It was just Lance/Who was in On the Line/Not a good film for Joey Fatone to align…with.” Okay, I’m not a lyricist like Mike Slezak. But I’ll also suggest “Rad Bromance,” a non-Sarah Silverman or Jimmy Kimmel-penned tune about Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.

Either way, I can’t wait to see how Weird Al looks in a pair of platform boots, which recently sent Gaga toppling over at Heathrow airport. File under new Fox series: When Fashion Attacks! (She’s fashion roadkill!) Your turn, PopWatchers: Suggest a Gaga song for Weird Al!

Lady Gaga wears beekeeper hat, embarrasses her little sister at high school graduation

lady-gagaImage Credit: Splash NewsIt can’t be easy to be Lady Gaga’s baby sister — talk about big shoes (literally!) to fill. Well, Gaga predictably stole the show when she showed up at her sister’s high school graduation from her alma mater, Convent of the Sacred Heart, wearing a lace pantsuit and beekeeper’s hat. Yes, a beekeeper’s hat! Nope, she wasn’t auditioning for the sequel to The Secret Life of Bees, just going to cheer on little sis. And as if the hat wasn’t attention-grabbing enough, check out her see-through lace pants, and dramatic (and dangerous-looking) heel-less platform shoes.

What do you think PopWatchers? Proper wear for a family gathering?

'Baby Gaga' mom on 'Early Show': What I'd give to be a layabout on that amazing crescent-moon sofa

On this morning’s Early Show, Heidi Ladrow, mother of the “Baby Gaga” in a recent viral video spoof of Lady Gaga’s “Telephone” (which has since been made private on YouTube, but you can see clips over at CBS.com) sat down with the video’s director and a psychotherapist. That seemed like a good start! Logic and proportion fell sloppy dead from there. Here are a few choice quotes from the mother of a Baby in Chains, along with the half-baked retorts I would lay on her if I happened to be lounging in the far corner of that stylish sofa. I’m sure The Early Show would have loved to have me. Next time.

“[My daughter] has known [the director, Jake Wilson] since she was six months old, so she’s very comfortable with him.” Oh, cool. Did she tell you that? Do they have a lot in common? Maybe they could date. Well. Maybe she could turn into one of his favorite shopping partners! You’ve seen ‘Clueless’ right?

“The reason she looked uncomfortable is because she’d just woken up from a two-hour nap. She’s animated, you know? We wanted her to look kind of upset in certain points. I think she’s a very well-adjusted child. At 3, she’s very self-actualized.” Have you considered asking your toddler for advice on achieving a more efficient perception of reality? READ FULL STORY »

Lady Gaga tops 'Fast Company' Most Creative People list

lady-gagaImage Credit: Kristy Sparow/Getty ImagesJeopardy! Answer: Lady Gaga, Elizabeth Warren, and Phoenix Wang.

If your response is the Clavinian question, “Who are three people who have never been in my kitchen?” I’d understand. (And you would technically be correct.) But the trio also was honored by Fast Company Magazine on its 2010 list of the Most Creative People in Business. Lady Gaga, actually, topped the list, outranking CEOs, IT execs, and corporate trailblazers. Take that Director of the Institute for Bio Nanotechnology in Medicine Samuel Stupp! (No relation to Lilly von.) Pop artists dotted the list, notably Glee producer Ryan Murphy (No. 5), James Cameron (No. 9), Jay-Z (No. 11), and Spike Jonze (No. 28). Fast Company took a bold chance on No. 77, Federico Alvarez, the Uruguayan filmmaker whose homemade alien-invasion short won him Hollywood attention. His first feature, with Sam Raimi’s production company, is still in the works. I’m all for heralding an unknown, but Inglourious Basterds (and its $120 million domestic box-office haul) was another reminder that Quentin Tarantino, who failed to make the list, is as creative as anyone in Hollywood.

What were the other hits and misses from Fast Company‘s list?

'Glee' instant reaction: Was the Lady Gaga episode its best yet?

Tonight’s Glee was definitely one of my favorite hours of the entire season. I had no idea that it would be so emotional…or that I would be so emotional! Seriously, how many of you Gleeks shed major tears during “Theatricality?” But the episode also had several shiver-inducing performances and laughs. I think that’s why it was so phenomenal: it does what Glee does best which is combining comedy, music, and emotional truths. [SPOILER ALERT FOR WEST COAST VIEWERS] READ FULL STORY »
