GOOFIEST OUTFIT OF THE WEEK: LADY GAGA

At least you cannot accuse Lady Gaga of being boring. She flounced out of rehearsals at radio City Music Hall in this peculiar outfit. Not sure why she appears to be holding the hem of the hooded “dress,” but there ARE no sleeves. She’s appearing at the venue on Tuesday, August 3, with Tony Bennett, and that happens to be his 95th birthday. The show is called One Last Time: An Evening with Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga.” Vaccination required! Despite Alzheimers, Tony still enjoys performing and has more dates planned for this summer.

LADY GAGA MAKES DRAMATIC EXIT

Not so fast, Billy Porter – you are NOT the only person who can successfully STRIKE A POSE! Lady Gaga flaunted her fashion outside The Plaza Hotel before she slipped away to an “undisclosed location” to tape a musical special with 94 year old Tony Bennett at 11 AM (!) Friday. MTV Unplugged kept the event a big secret and has made no announcement about when or whether the show will air on TV.

LADY GAGA OR JOAN COLLINS?

Yep, it’s Lady Gaga doing her best imitation of Joan Collins walking out of Craigs Restaurant in LA. Actually, Gaga is leaving the Plaza Hotel in New York and we figured out WHY she’s dressed this way. She is obviously going to rehearsal for the MTV Unplugged show she’s taping Friday with Tony Bennett! (This is a look he can identify with) It’s Tony’s first appearance since he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, but apparently it has not affected his work. No one knows exactly when the performance will appear on TV yet…

TONY BENNETT’S HOT DATE AT LINCOLN CENTER

Wow! Get a load of Tony Bennett’s date at Lincoln Center in NYC tonight! Yes, that is an unusually subdued, but glamorously attired Lady Gaga on his arm. The pair taped songs from their “Cheek to Cheek” album coming out in the fall for the Jazz at Lincoln Center event. Gaga says the 60 years between them are nothing once they start singing together, and she finds jazz easier to sing than pop.

“LIONESS: HIDDEN TREASURES” – AMY WINEHOUSE DOES IT AGAIN

We loved writing about the soap opera life of Amy Winehouse before she tragically died of alcohol poisoning last July, and we appreciated her original style. In the five years after she released her huge album “Back to Black” she didn’t seem to do much singing, but 12 songs from various recording sessions over the last decade, including a duet with Tony Bennett, are featured in her new posthumous album released today. The album, “Lioness: Hidden Treasures,” is getting good reviews and reminds us of what a one-of-a-kind talent we lost.
