Some people will do anything for attention! Lady Gaga upstaged 64 year old diva Cher (who toned it down in a black garter) by showing up to the VMA’s in a dress made of real meat! She even had a little meat clutch purse which she asked Cher to hold as she accepted her award. [...]

Got an email this morning that said: “The Queen” spotted with self help book http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7Q3PorQEig It’s not exactly The National Enquirer, but I wonder how Her Real Royal Highness would feel about this one. Gotta admit, it is kinda cute. And it did make me watch the video, so in a “You Just Proved Bench [...]
