Lady Gaga Shoots Back at PETA After 'Turncoat' Accusation

Mother Monster takes to Twitter after being rebuked by PETA for wearing fur coats.
By Jocelyn Vena

<P>Lady Gaga has come under fire after being photographed in various fur jackets over the past few weeks. Animal rights organization PETA is taking issue with the Mother Monster and her furry fashion choices.</P><P>In a statement released on PETA's website, VP Dan Mathews recalls a statement she gave to Ellen DeGeneres in 2010 after she wore the infamous meat dress to the VMAs that year. And from there he takes aim at the star for being what he calls "Judas" to animal rights activists everywhere.</P><P><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>For those press and such who are writing about whether or not my fur is actually real, littlemonsters.com/text/50296814a...</p>&mdash; Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) August 13, 2012</blockquote> <script src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></P><P>"Many of your gay fans, I among them, have long admired what you told Ellen: 'I hate fur and I don't wear fur.' I included a link because these recent photos of you in fox and rabbit and with a wolf carcass make it appear that you have amnesia," he wrote. "What happened? Are your stylists telling you that it's fake, or are you a turncoat? Many gays are animal advocates because we recognize that the same arrogance and indifference that some have toward animal suffering has at times been directed toward us personally because of our orientation.</P><P>"PETA has long participated in Pride events around the country, and just last week, we helped lead protests against Chick-fil-A. But by wearing those dumb furs in a heat wave, you're making yourself a target just like the mindless Kim Kardashian," he said, comparing her to the reality starlet who was flour-bombed by a PETA supporter earlier this year. "As we plan our fall campaigns, please tell us whether what you gracefully told Ellen was heartfelt or just a pose."</P><P>He then asked for a response from her, but he didn't have to wait too long to get it. Gaga kept her response short, sweet and tongue-in-cheek. "For those press and such who are writing about whether or not my fur is actually real, please don't forget to credit the designer HERMES. Thank You! LOVE, gaga," she wrote late Monday.</P><P><i>Was Lady Gaga's response appropriate?

Spike Lee Finishing Michael Jackson Documentary

Movie focuses on the singer's 'Bad' album.
By Gil Kaufman

<P>Director Spike Lee is finishing work on an upcoming documentary about Michael Jackson's landmark 1987 <I>Bad</I> album that will give fans a behind-the-scenes look at the <I>Thriller</I> follow-up that has sold more than 30 million copies worldwide.</P><P>Lee, who was friends with the late pop king and directed the official video for the posthumous single "This Is It,"&#8232;, said he learned a lot about MJ while making the as-yet-untitled movie.</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Behind The Scenes Of 'Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour'" id="vid:755805" width="415" height="255"></div><p></P><P>According to the Hollywood Reporter, the movie will be part of a celebration of the 25th anniversary of <I>Bad</I>. "We have footage in this documentary that no one's ever seen, stuff that Michael shot himself, behind-the-scenes stuff," Lee said. "We had complete access to the vaults of Michael Jackson. ... He wrote 60 demos for the <I>Bad</I> record. Only 11 made it. So we got to hear a lot of that stuff, too, so it was just a great experience ... You don't have to be a Michael Jackson-head to enjoy this." <I>Bad</I>, which was released more than five years after Jackson's breakthrough, <I>Thriller</I>, the best-selling album of all time, is also one of the all-time top-sellers. In a record tied by Katy Perry last year, it spawned five Hot 100 #1 singles, including "I Just Can't Stop Loving You," "Bad," "The Way You Make Me Feel," "Man in the Mirror" and "Dirty Diana."</P><P>The 25th anniversary re-release of <I>Bad</I> will hit shelves on September 18 and feature additional tracks, a DVD and other material. No release date has been announced yet for Lee's documentary, though it is slated to hit screens this year.</P><P>Lee sat down with everyone from Kanye West to Mariah Carey and Sheryl Crow (who was a back-up singer on the <I>Bad</I> tour) for the film, which he said will show fans a more personal, funny side of MJ. "We really divided it into two things: Artists today who were influenced by Michael, and then people who worked side by side - musicians, songwriters, technicians, engineers, people at the label, who were all committed to Michael, to the follow-up to the biggest record of all time, which still is <I>Thriller</I>," he said.</P><P>A doc chronicling Jackson's rehearsals for what was to be his series of comeback shows, "This Is It,"&#8232; was released in 2009 and became one of the highest-grossing music docs of all time.</P><P></P>

Justin Bieber: The Show Must Go On

Though he may still be recovering from his recent break-up with Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber brought his A-game to his concert at the Izod Center in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Friday night (November 9).

Decked out in a white sleeveless zip-up jacket, white pants and gold fingerless gloves, the "Baby" singer continued his Believe tour in the Sandy-stricken state as he sang and danced his way through the pain.

During the show - which drew out Victoria's Secret beauties like Erin Heatherton, Lily Aldridge and Lindsay Ellingson - the 18-year-old pop star brought Jaden Smith onstage for a "special show" that ended up being a rap-filled performance of "Fairytale."

After the concert, the Biebs tweeted, "thank u everyone for coming out last night and supporting in New Jersey...we raised money for Hurricane Sandy relief. #GIVEBACK #GREATSHOW."
