LADY GAGA IS GAGA OVER HARVARD GRAD

Looks like Lady Gaga has landed herself a live one this time around. She’s had a lot of boyfriends, but this one has credentials. Michael Polansky was wooing Gaga under the radar with his mask on, for months before anyone figured out who he is. He is quite different from past boyfriends – Michael has no connection to show business. He graduated from Harvard (!) in 2006, where he studied math and computer programming. He’s established himself as a philanthropist and board member for a number of charities. He may not be quite as handsome as Gaga’s ex Taylor Kinney, but he’s a man of substance. Gaga has described him as “the love of my life” and she takes him everywhere – including the Inauguration.

YARA SHAHIDI HAS HER NOSE IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACES

Love, love, love Yara Shahidi’s outfit for the SAG Awards. It’s refreshing and original – and appropriate for an eighteen year old. Yara is a force to be reckoned with – she’s only 5’3” but already has numerous fashion and beauty contracts. She’s half black and half Iranian, and as smart as she is beautiful. The Grown-ish star will be filming while taking classes for her freshman year at Harvard, where she’s majoring in social studies aimed to accelerate her activism. We are impressed.

RASHIDA JONES AND COLIN JOST PLAYING HARD TO GET

Rashida Jones, 39, and her covered up boyfriend Colin Jost, 33, look like they’re pretending not to know each other in this photo. Actually, they’ve been together for over two years and have a lot in common- they both went to Harvard! Colin went from head writer on Saturday Night Live to performer and now appears on the News Update. The Parks and Recreation star’s friends say she loves his sense of humor and we imagine he’s making some amusing comments behind that scarf.

JOHN F KENNEDY’S FUTURE WAS NOT CLEAR AT SEVENTEEN

JFK and his stern father

It’s comforting to know that John F Kennedy was a very ordinary guy at the age of seventeen. The Atlantic dug up Kennedy’s application to Harvard in 1936 and one section asked the applicant “Why do you wish to come to Harvard?” His response isn’t particularly brilliant – like many teens, he didn’t seem to know WHAT he wanted to major in. He was, however, aware of the prestige associated with the University and the importance of connections he would make there. His application included his grades from Choate school – maybe you can figure them out. The essay was far from special, but like they did for several others, Harvard managed to turn him in Presidential material.

TYRA BANKS WANTS YOU TO THINK SHE GOT A DEGREE FROM HARVARD!

#tyrabanks #janetcharlton

We’ve been increasingly suspicious about Tyra Banks’ claims that she recently graduated from Harvard Business School. Since she never got a bachelor’s degree from any college, how did she get into Harvard to pursue an MBA? Turns out, she didn’t. Jezebel exposed her exaggeration. Actually Tyra didn’t get a diploma- she got a certificate of completion for finishing a nine week non-degree EXTENSION business course which has NO requirements for formal education and does not count toward any type of degree. An MBA takes qualification and two years of studying. Tyra IS smart, but she didn’t graduate from Harvard.
