Watch Bakker’s claim below, as well as just one of hundreds of videos I can post that show the protests against Obama during his time in office.
Headlining the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival this weekend, Lady Gaga (the first female headliner at the arts and music festival since Bjork in 2007) surprised the crowd by premiering a new single, “The Cure.”
If I can’t find the cure, I’ll fix you with my love No matter what you do, I’ll fix you with my love And if you say you’re okay, I’m going to heal you anyway Promise I’ll always be there, promise I’ll be the cure
As she closed her 18 song set, Gaga announced the song is her new single, now available on all digital download sites.
And the “little monsters” go wild!
It is, of course, the number one single on iTunes right now 🙂
On the season premiere of Untucked: RuPaul’s Drag Race, the after-show where the queens let down their hair, guest Lady Gaga shared her personal feelings about the “gay men in my life that helped me to become a woman.”
Valentina thanked Lady Gaga for all she does for the gay community.
Gaga, touched, had this to say:
“I appreciate you saying that. I’m not a gay woman, you know? And it’s that touchy sort of subject where can you stand up for people that you are not necessarily fully part of that community in a way that you can understand what you all go through, right?
“But I have always been surrounded by incredibly intelligent, powerful gay men who have lifted me up through lots of changes in my life.”
“Becoming famous was very strange and it’s the gay men in my life that helped me to become a woman. And I don’t know that a lot of people would understand that but it’s because of what you’ve through ― you have survived so much that you inspire me to continue surviving. So thank you for that.”
Watch the full episode of Untucked below. Gaga enters at the 14:40 mark.
Check out this fun clip of Lady Gaga (captured at the invited premiere party) going “undercover” as a Gaga impersonator in the upcoming season of RuPaul’s Drag Race.
It looks like the queens are pretty blown away by Gaga’s “impersonation,” much in the vein of Derrick Barry’s “Britney Spears.”
Can’t wait to see the reactions from the contestants when the queens figure it out.
The new season of RuPaul’s Drag Race premieres March 24 on VH1.
