Lady Gaga takes ANOTHER spectacular tumble on stage

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Shame: This latest embarrassment is the second time the singer has fallen on stage this month


Lady Gaga has taken a humiliating tumble on stage for the second time this month.

Video has emerged showing the Paparazzi singer tripping over her jacket during a live show in Atlanta last night.

But as a true professional she got right back up and continued her performance like nothing had happened.


Hitting hard: The singer had done several head rolls so maybe she had gotten dizzy


The 25-year-old singer was singing and dancing to Poker Face and did several head rolls and before throwing her jacket onto the floor.

As she continued her dance routine she then stepped onto jacket, stumbled before falling flat on the floor.

A minder at the bottom of the stage then took the jacket so she would not fall again and Gaga pranced forward onto the stage to join her dancers and effortlessly joined in the choreographed routine.

Several video pieced together show her spectacular fall from different angles.


Caught on camera: Several videos of the fall were taken which showed Gaga from varying angles


Less than two weeks ago Gaga made another fall as she jumped off of her piano wearing towering heels in the middle of a song in Houston on April 10.

Leaping off the burning piano onto the stool, her heel accidentally flicked the stool away from her, and Gaga fell flat on her back under the piano.

The singer has had to issue an apology recently after using an offensive term during an interview with NME magazine.

Beyonce directs her suspender-clad dancers as she shoots new video

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Listen up: The star talks her dancers through some of their steps on the sandy set


She got fans all over the world doing her Single Ladies dance - and it looks like Beyonce won't be leaving the choreography to chance for her new record either.

The 29-year-old star was directing a troupe of twinkle-toed, suspender-clad beauties on a sand-covered set in Los Angeles as she shot the video for a new track, apparently called Who Rule The World.


All hail Queen Beyonce: The singer wore a golden crown as she filmed her new music video in Los Angeles earlier in the week


And in her trademark leg-baring style, she was wearing a wisp of a yellow dress that barely covered her bottom with kinky over-the-knee black stiletto boots and elbow-length black gloves.


The star has reportedly hired 200 backing dancers for the shoot, which has been taking place over the past few days.

The track, described as a 'stomping club banger' will be the first from her as-yet-untitled new album, the follow-up to 2008's I Am ...Sasha Fierce.

It samples 2009 cult dance track Pon De Floor by London-based fidget house outfit Major Lazer, Mail Online can reveal.

And it looks like Beyonce is hoping to reclaim her throne as the queen of the charts in her new video - quite literally.

She was spotted filming wearing a huge gold crown earlier this week.


I'm back to reclaim my throne: Beyonce waved a flag with her initial 'B' surrounded by her troupe of sexy dancers


She continued the regal theme with a red flag bearing her initial 'B' and lots of gold jewellery.

But, giving her ensemble a bit of sex appeal, she opted for high-waisted hotpants and a grey bra instead of a royal robes.

Surrounded by dancers dressed in military wear, it appears Beyonce is well equipped for her assault on the charts.

On Monday, she was filming in the Mojave desert with African dancers.


Ready for a chart assault: The new single Girls will be the first release from Beyonce's fourth album


Beyonce is gearing up to release her fourth solo album in June after playing a selection of tracks to record executives last month.

Sony Music Australia executive Denis Handlin enthused: 'It was just amazing. She came in and played us six tracks from the album.

'She wants to do a big tour off the back of this record... These songs, the best description I can give is groundbreaking; she’s gone to another level.'

Justin Bieber's female doppelgänger becomes a YouTube sensation in her own right

By ANDREA MAGRATH

'You say I'm Bieber, you say it's hot - but let me tell you, no it's not: Dani Shay has become an internet sensation for her parody of Justin Bieber's Baby


A successful pop star is always going to inspire a slew of wannabe impersonators.
But this may just be the best one yet.

A 22-year-old woman who bears a striking resemblance to teen sensation Justin Bieber has become a YouTube sensation in her own right.

A video of the folk singer from Orlando performing a parody of Bieber's hit single Baby has so far attracted 230,000 hits on the website - the platform from which the 17-year-old Canadian launched his own career in 2007.


Doppelganger: The 22-year-old woman's song about people stopping her in the street thinking she's Bieber has attracted over 230,000 hits on YouTube so far


Dani, who describes herself as 'a lesbian who looks like Justin Bieber, but is uniquely different in her own ways,' says: 'I am stopped everywhere I go because people think I am Justin Bieber.

'Before I even knew who he was, no matter what I was wearing, I would be asked for photos, autographs, et cetera.'

Her song, What The Hell, includes the lyrics: 'I guess you noticed, I guess you care/
About the way I flip my hair.

'You say its Bieber, you say its hot/ But let me tell you, no it's not.

'Am I on TV? Girl you playin'/ He looks just like me - what are you sayin'.

'There's another who looks and sings like you/ And he's on every channel of YouTube.

'And I was like "what the hell are you talking about?/ This face has always been mine.'


Separated at birth? Dani is also an aspiring singer/songwriter


Miss Shay's video has even been included on a popular website dedicated to 'lesbians who look like Justin Bieber.

Women who fit the description - named 'Bebians' - can upload pictures of themselves looking like the pop star to the site, which also sells merchandise with the slogan 'I'm not Justin Bieber.'

Dani has denied she is simply riding on Bieber's coat tails. she says: 'I've had my hair like this for years, and I've had my face like this all my life.'


The real deal: Justin attended a screening of his film Never Say Never: 3D in Madrid yesterday


Perhaps luckily for Dani, Justin has traded his famous side-swept locks in recent months for a shorter, choppier 'do.

The real deal is in the middle of his world tour, and will perform tonight in Barcelona.

Yesterday he attended a screening of his film Never say never: 3D in Madrid.

Bieber will perform in Zurich, Milan and Tel Aviv over the next month before moving on to Malaysia and Australia.

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Over the last week, Perry has been leaking sneak peeks of the video shoot before the promo is seen in its entirety on Thursday.

Perry's other worldliness appearance is inspired by the lyrics of the song, about falling in love with a foreigner.

The song contains many extraterrestrial references, hence Perry's sci-fi appearance in another image.

Perry is currently on the UK and Ireland leg of her California Dream World Tour.

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Stealing the limelight: As soon as Jennifer Hudson brought her19-month-old son on the set of The View it was clear that he would not go unnoticed


She went on the The View to promote her album and chat about her incredible weight loss story.

But Jennifer Hudson, 29, was quickly upstaged by her son David Jr, who accompanied her onto the set.

At first the 19-month-old had all of The View ladies cooing and fawning all over him as he sat on his mother's lap.

Co-hosts Whoppi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sherri Shepherd and Elizabeth Hasslebeck couldn't get enough of the little boy as they greeted the Academy Award winning singer and actress.

Jennifer explained that she brought David on the show because he couldn't bear to be without his mother.

'He wouldn't let me leave him, so I had to bring him with me,' she told the ladies.


Enamoured: The adorable toddler had all of The View ladies cooing and fawning all over him as he obediently sat on his mother's lap and took to the microphone


Clearly not camera shy, he held onto the microphone for his mother throughout the segment.

Showing he shared his mother's passion for singing, he cooed and hummed the whole was through Jennifer's interview.

But the proud mother was nonplussed, and could only speak of the love she shared for her son.

'I just learn from him, he keeps me smiling everyday,' she said. 'I run out of space on my phone, trying to capture everything he does.'

She then showed a clip of David Jr. singing along to a R&B song while wearing just a nappy.


Confident: The tot was clearly not camera shy as he held onto the microphone for his mother throughout the segment


Dressed in baby blue Rocawear puffa jacket, a pair of jeans and all-white trainers for his TV-screen début, David Jr. was epitome of cute.

She jazzed the outfit up with a aqua blue belt and some sparkly bangles.


Stunning: Following on from her appearance on the show, the beautiful singer was busy promoting the new album in New York City


Jennifer spoke of her dramatic weight loss on the show, which has seen the singer lose a staggering 80 pounds.

As before and after shots were shown on the screen behind her, the Dreamgirls star said that David Jr. does not recognise her in old pictures which show her former curvier figure.

'Sometime he doesn't recognise me before, because this is the only mommy he has known,' she said.

An 'emaciated' Lady Gaga releases shocking photo to promote new album

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Alien: Lady Gaga just released this picture via her Twitter account of her looking emaciated and gaunt


She has made her name by being one of the most controversial performers in the world but Lady Gaga may be taking the shock factor a bit far.

The singer just released this photograph of herself with a clearly altered appearance as part of the promotion for her new album, Born This Way, which is released on May 23.

In the photo Gaga is sporting prosthetic cheek bones and painted eyebrows which make her appear gaunt and emaciated.


Shock jock: Lady Gaga, seen here last month in Paris, is known for her crazy costumes


The shocking photo was posted by the star on her Twitter page and is the first official posting regarding her highly anticipated new record.

Gaga's rail-thin frame has been the subject of much speculation since she rose to fame.

Last year the author of an unofficial biography, and ex-GaGa tour manager, David Ciemny, claimed the star was hospitalised six times in 2009 due to her starving herself to fit into her outrageous stage costumes.

Born This Way will come as her second major studio album.

The 24-year-old singer clearly goes to great lengths to provoke a reaction from her appearance and even admitted last week that her hair is now falling out from all the over-dying.


Fresh faced: The singer appeared healthier and more natural aged 18 when she was attending Manhattan Girls School


Gaga, who is naturally a brunette, has become known for her platinum blonde locks says she misses her dark hair when she 'has to get a chemical hair cut because my blonde hair is falling out,' she told People magazine.

While promoting the upcoming album, Gaga has also been busy continuing her Monster's Ball tour.

Tomorrow she will be performing in Oakland, California then Sacramento on Wednesday before heading to Las Vegas this weekend.

As well as continuing her tour, Gaga has been busy praying for those caught up in the troubles in Japan.

She has also been busy raising funds for the region, designing a prayer bracelet, the profits of which will go to a Tsunami relief fund.

In just 48 hours sales raised more than $250,000 for the charity.

Now THAT'S what you call colour blocking! Nicole Scherzinger stands out from the crowd in super bright outfit

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Bright: Nicole Scherzinger leaves her Paris hotel yesterday in a bright green dress and clashing orange cardigan


She has never been one to blend into the background but Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger has taken her attempt to get noticed to a whole new level.

The 32-year-old turned heads yesterday as she left her hotel in Paris wearing an eye-catchingly bright ensemble.

The star donned a bright emerald green dress with a clashing orange cardigan as she headed out for a shopping trip with friends in the city of lights.

Nicole followed the new Spring fashion trend of colour blocking which involves wearing loud, bright and sometimes clashing colours.

The in-style was seen all over the runway at this year's spring and summer fashion shows.

She paired the bright dress and cardigan with a black fedora and black patent peep-toe heels which off set the outfit.

The star's tactics of wearing attention-grabbing garments certainly seems to have worked however in getting maximum publicity for her music - her new track is heading for the Number One spot in the UK charts this weekend and is already Number One in the iTunes charts.

Meanwhile, the star has also revealed that she may turn down a job on the USA X Factor judging if it's offered to her.

The singer has been linked to the role since standing in a a judge on the UK series last year.

Nicole told this week's Stylist magazine: 'I loved doing X Factor because I think I [understood] where people were coming from. I empathised because I know what it's like to want something that badly."

'But in a way I had such a great time last year I am wondering whether to quit while I'm ahead. We'll have to wait and see.'

Nicole is currently in France to promote her new album Killer Love which is released across Europe on March 21.

'I cried over all the nasty comments': How did an innocent wannabe like Rebecca Black become America's most reviled teenager?

By Daily Mail Reporter


-13-year-old says 'It feels like I'm being cyberbullied'
-She did not write the much-mocked lyrics

YouTube sensation: Rebecca Black was launched into the spotlight this week after her heavily auto-tuned song Friday was viewed more than 15 million times online


Rebecca Black became a YouTube hit for all the wrong reasons this week after her heavily auto-tuned song Friday was viewed more than 16million times online.

But the American teenager, who has been dubbed the worst singer in the world insists, she is talented - and says the fact that people remember her song means something.

Online critics have savaged the record, which is about a teenager getting ready for the weekend, but it is soaring on iTunes anyway.

The 13-year-old's mother paid $2,000 to the LA based Ark Music Factory - production company for aspiring teen singers - to get the song and video made.

The video was shot in her father's home, and friends and family were the extras.

Presented with two songs to potentially record, she chose 'Friday' - but she did not write the mocked lyrics.

Some cyberbullies have even told the teen she deserves to die.

Rebecca gave an interview to Good Morning America and said: '[The worst thing I've read was] I hope you cut yourself and I hope you get an eating disorder so you'll look pretty, and I hope you go cut and die.

'When I first saw all these nasty comments I did cry.

'I felt like this was my fault and I shouldn't have done this and this is all because of me. Now I don't feel that way.'

One Internet user wrote: 'Even deaf people are complaining.'
She also defended the song.

'I think that's an accomplishment. Even a person that doesn't like it, it's going to be stuck in their head,' she said

'That's the point of it, it's a catchy song.'

Her mother, however, was not so ready to forgive.

Dr Georgina Kelly told GMA: 'In all honesty, I probably could have killed a few people.

'But that probably would get me nowhere. Yeah, it makes me angry and upset.'
Kelly and husband Dr. John Black, are both veterinarians.

Make me a star! The 13-year-old's mother paid $2,000 to get the song and video made


The song has already spawned several covers.

Rebecca, who started vocal lessons when she was 10-years-old, sang the US national anthem on GMA in a bid to prove she could actually sing.

One of the song's producers said: 'She was actually in key.'

She added: 'I think I have talent on some level. I don't think I am the worst singer but I don't think I'm the best [either].'

'Those hurtful comments really shocked me,' Black, 13, she told the Daily Beast. 'At times, it feels like I'm being cyberbullied.'

Facing the critics: Rebecca went on Good Morning America and admitted that she isn't the best singer
And she did not write the words.


When presented with two songs, she chose Friday as 'The other song was about adult love–I haven’t experienced that yet.'

Remarkably for a girl so young and so attacked, she also defended herself and plans to continue pursuing her musical dreams.

'I decided not to give the haters the satisfaction that they got me so bad I gave up,' Black said, explaining why she refused to take the video off of YouTube.

Never give up: The aspiring singer, who lives in Orange County, performed the National Anthem on GMA in an effort to prove she can sing


Thanks to iTunes, she's profiting from the experience.

The money will go to her savings, her school theater program and Japanese relief efforts. 'I just want to be able to keep doing what I love, which is singing.'

Rebecca, from Orange County, in California, also told GMA how her dream is to duet with Justin Bieber.

She said: 'I have Bieber fever. I am in love with Justin Bieber.
'Just thinking about it gives me butterflies.'

And she sent a message to the teen pop sensation asking if he wanted to do a duet.

Te amo, Cupid Boy! Kylie Minogue kisses 'special man' Andres Veloncoso live on stage during Spanish show

By JODY THOMPSON

Come here, you: Kylie Minogue beckoned over boyfriend Andres Veloncoso for a kiss during her show in Barcelona


She's hinted lately that he may be the man she finally settles down with and has babies - and Kylie Minogue confirmed her deep feelings for boyfriend Andres Veloncoso with her most public display of affection ever.

The 42-year-old Spinning Around star was playing a date in 32-year-old Andres's home country of Spain when she beckoned him to the stage - and planted a kiss full on his lips.

Speaking in halting Spanish, she told the crowd at the Palau Saint Jordi in Barcelona: 'I'm so happy to have family here tonight, especially someone. My Cupid Boy.'


Love you back: Andres had been blowing kisses at his girlfriend of three years during her show in the city at the weekend


She then searched for Andres in the crowd of thousands and as he blew kisses towards her, the singer gestured to him to come and get the real thing.

he singer had earlier rather aptly performing her song Cupid Boy to huge video images of the hunky male model - who Kylie calls her 'special man' - during the date of her Aphrodite: Les Folies tour at the weekend.

Earlier this month, the star celebrated her five year all-clear following her battle with breast cancer - and hinted that marriage and babies with Andres may be on the cards


What a smacker: The Spanish crowd went crazy when Kylie demonstrated her love so publicly to her 'special man' - local boy Andres


She marked her cancer-free milestone in Milan after a gig there with her tour's creative directors Dolce & Gabbana, who designed all the costumes for it.

She'd earlier told Australian newspaper the Herald Sun: 'I feel like I’m back with all guns blazing...Obviously, it’s going to be exciting but it’s also going to be surreal and momentous and a bit scary.'

The singer, who has been dating Andres for three years, has previously voiced her concerns that she may not be able to have a baby following her battle with breast cancer.

But asked earlier this month whether she would ever think about surrogacy or adoption, Minogue told Grazia magazine: 'I do think about them and I would absolutely look into those options because children and family are very important to me. It's something in my mind.'


Look of love: Kylie celebrated her five-year all-clear from cancer earlier this month with Andres with a big party after her gig in Milan


Kylie, whose sister Dannii had a boy last year, recently said of having a baby: 'I would really love to be a mother, but I just don't think it can ever happen.

'After everything I've been through - the treatment for breast cancer - I may not actually be able to conceive.'

'Andres is a natural with children. We will just have to see but I’m not sure if that will be part of my future.'

But she continued: 'There’s more than one way to skin a cat. It’s important for women to know there are other options available, whatever means you have to use to have a family - if that’s your desire, go for it.'

And the star added: 'I have a very special man. I might get married, you never know...'

It winds up in Perth, Australia, on 22 June, after stopping by for five nights at the London's O2 Arena, kicking off on April 7.
