LADY GAGA PUT HER MONEY WHERE HER MOUTH IS

She’s been outraged by the suicide of 14 year old Jamie Rodemeyer and eager to press President Obama to end bullying in schools. So Gaga paid $38,500 to attend a small fundraising dinner with him in Silicon Valley at the home of Facebook executives. She wore her HIGHEST 12 inch platform shoes and her hair was piled up 6 inches, so Gaga loomed over everyone, including our 6’1” president. (Too bad no cameras were allowed.) President Obama did not acknowledge Gaga’s obvious presence during his speech, but we bet she gave him an earful before the dinner was over.

EVEN WHEN HE HAD MONEY, SLY STONE LIVED IN A VEHICLE

This isn’t the first time Sly Stone has lived in a vehicle rather than a home. Back in the 70’s he had a large house on Bel Air Road that once belonged to John Phillips of The Mamas and Papas. The lavish grounds were even occupied by peacocks when Sly bought the place. Sly had an enormous entourage of drug and music oriented people hanging out, cooking and living off him in the house. Instead of chasing them away, Sly ended up living in his large Winnebago in the driveway. He traveled in the Winnebago instead of a car because he believed police couldn’t search his “home” without a warrant, like they could his car. So he felt safer with his drugs. It’s sad that bad choices and economic misfortune has reduced such a talented musician to living in a camper van in Crenshaw, but maybe he’s not as miserable as we assume.

JENNIFER ANISTON IS GIVING IT AWAY

We actually think Jennifer Aniston has been inspired by Angelina and Brad’s charitable ways and decided to open her bulging wallet and make a grand gesture. Jennifer is the first to admit how lucky she is and what an extraordinary life she has. She’s always been very generous with her friends, but her $450,000 purchase of a piece of art with the proceeds going to Haitian health and education, is a big step for her. The stark grey oil and charcoal painting (above) was only expected to sell for around $150,000 but Jen was exceedingly generous. It makes her feel good and look good. Her auction date Justin Theroux must have been quite impressed.

TOM SIZEMORE AVOIDS INDOOR PLUMBING

Tom Sizemore continues to make bad decisions. Last week his live-in “assistant” at his downtown Los Angeles apartment stole a car and when cops came to arrest him they noticed Tom had an outstanding battery warrant (for allegedly roughing up an ex-girlfriend.) The roommate/assistant was on parole and had drugs in his room so he’s locked up. Tom bailed himself out a few hours later, claiming it was all a “misunderstanding.” Why this substance addicted actor is living with a drugged up car thief is a mystery. On Wednesday, Tom was in Minneapolis to promote his movie “White Knight” at the Twin Cities Film Festival and he visited the KARE 11 station for an interview. According to CJ at the Star-Tribune, on the way in, he stopped in the “Backyard” – a landscaped outdoor area where weathermen give their reports, to PEE, oblivious that he was in full view of all the employees in the office windows looking down on him. It makes you wonder…

HAPPY HAPPY: A GOOD NORWEGIAN COMEDY IS HARD TO FIND

We love peeking into other cultures and the Norwegian comedy “Happy, Happy” is entertaining in many ways. It’s the story of two couples- a big city sophisticated pair with marriage problems who move to the country next door to a small town unhappily married couple. The country couple is in awe of the jaded city couple and the story turns into a surprising bedroom farce. The characters are personable and the Norwegian ideas about society and marriage are fun. A good foreign comedy.

FREDDIE MERCURY MAY BE ALIVE AND WELL IN CANADA

Who doesn’t love and miss the late Freddie Mercury from Queen? We just encountered a video of a guy singing Freddie’s song “Somebody To Love “ and the look and sound is ASTONISHING! Ironically, it turns out the singer, Marc Martel, is frontman for the Canadian Christian gospel band “Downhere.” If you like revisiting Mercury, locate Marc’s startling version of “Bohemian Rhapsody.” All he needs is some spandex and a big mustache.

12 YEAR OLDS WANT TO LOOK LIKE LOURDES LEON

Madonna’s daughter Lourdes is 14 going on 21. She looked quite grown up as she took charge and hosted the one year anniversary party of the Material Girl clothing line she and her mother started at Macy’s in New York. You can’t see it in this photo, but she’s wearing a red Kabbalah string on her left wrist in spite of the cult’s financial scandals. When she’s not attending the Fame high school of performing arts and music, she’s working on the fashion collection. Lourdes has become a major fashion influence for pre-teens.

FIND OUT WHAT KIND OF WOMEN TOLERATE GARY BUSEY AND TED HAGGARD ON CELEBRITY WIFE SWAP

ABC is upping the ante for their culture clash show Celebrity Wife Swap by booking two religious fanatics for the reality series – disgraced evangelist Ted Haggard, and crackpot actor Gary Busey, who is also a minister with Promise Keepers. Haggard became famous when he was caught doing drugs and having sex with a male prostitute. He allows he’s probably bisexual and has returned to the ministry. For some reason his wife Gayle is still with him. Certainly anybody who can not only put up with Gary Busey’s annoying habits (played out on Celebrity Rehab,) AND have a baby with him, is puzzling. These WOMEN will be fascinating. Gary’s baby-mama Steffanie >Sampson will trade places with Ted’s wife Gayle on the show and the rest is up to Jesus.

JENNIFER LOPEZ AND JASON STATHAM MAKE A HOT COUPLE IN MIAMI

Photo Credit: Pacific Coast News

No sooner did Jennifer Lopez give her husband Marc Anthony his walking papers than she signed herself up for back-to back movies. The singing is on hold for now because Jennifer, 42, wants to become a major movie star and time is not on her side. She just finished “What to Expect When You’re Expecting” and immediately flew to Miami Beach to film “Parker” with Jason Statham. Jason, attired in a powder blue suit and ten gallon hat, plays a crook who only steals from the rich. Actually, the two make an appealing pair in this driving shot from the set.
