“The Lady and The Legend” to be Released on Paramount+ This September

Tony Bennett's son has confirmed to Variety that a new documentary about the life of his late father, and the decade-long collaboration with Lady Gaga, will be released this September on Paramount+.
The documentary, titled "The Lady and The Legend," will feature content recorded back in 2013 till today.
”What’s great about the doc that we met Gaga at a time when she was not feeling great about things — you know, “Artpop” and splitting up with Troy (Carter, her former manager), and she was doubting herself. And you watch Tony nurturing her, and telling her to move straight ahead and believe in herself. And then all of a sudden at the end, she is supporting him. It’s a full circle and it’s beautiful.” - Danny Bennett

Tony Bennett, the Jazz Legend, passed away just a few days ago.

Jazz Legend Tony Bennett Dies at 96

On the morning of July 21st, 2023, it was announced that the music icon Tony Bennett had passed away. Bennett was a class act and timeless asset to the legacy of jazz and music as a whole.
As a twenty-time Grammy Award winner, Bennett was synonymous with greatness. He truly defined what it meant to dedicate your life to your craft. After serving in World War II, Bennett began his career as a jazz singer. His talent would go on to be celebrated for decades to come.
Tony Bennett met Lady Gaga in 2011 when they recorded their first duet “The Lady is a Tramp.” They then created their first album together, Cheek to Cheek. It won Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album at the Grammys. Their second and final record, Love For Sale, won the same award, and received nominations for Album Of The Year and Record Of The Year.
Tony will be remembered for generations to come. We will always be grateful for his gift to the world: music. Rest in peace, Mr. Bennett.

RedOne on How He Changed Pop Music with Lady Gaga

Legendary producer Nile Rodgers interviewed RedOne during his latest radio show "Deep Hidden Meaning Radio,” where the two discussed RedOne's career and how he managed to change pop music with the help of Lady Gaga.
The interview started with Nadir Khayat (aka RedOne) recalling how much he struggled when he arrived in the United States from Sweden with his family. After his first big deal, he got offered to work with an unknown artist who was recently dropped from her record label. That's when he met Lady Gaga.
As soon as they met, RedOne and Lady Gaga wrote "Boys, Boys, Boys" on their way to the studio. As soon as they reached the studio, they joined forces to create a never-heard-before sound. RedOne introduced Lady Gaga to the style of Swedish singer Leila K, which they later used as inspiration to create Lady Gaga's first album: The Fame.
RedOne then recalled those studio days like "Magic." The inspiration and passion between him and Gaga were so strong that they managed to write one song each day, first “Just Dance,” then “Poker Face,” then “LoveGame.”
Nile told him how their artistic collaboration recalled him of the one he had back in the days with Madonna, looking at the similarities and how they both changed the landscape of music forever thanks to their determination and outstanding talent.
After the incredible success of their first collaboration, RedOne's label pushed him to follow Gaga around the world during her tours to produce more music. RedOne defined Gaga as "unstoppable" because she was writing music all the time even on the tour bus: that's where they wrote one of the biggest hits of all time: "Bad Romance."
RedOne calls "Bad Romance" a rock song dressed as a "Pop" one. They were so inspired by the creation of the music that they ran to a studio in Holland to record it as quickly as possible. After working with other artists like Jennifer Lopez, Enrique Iglesias, and Nicki Minaj, RedOne wrote another hit song for Lady Gaga "Judas."
You can hear the full interview of RedOne and Nile Rodgers on Apple Music.

Lady Gaga Wins Lawsuit Over Her Stolen Dogs

Lady Gaga finally won the lawsuit against one of the people involved in theft of her dogs back in 2021.
The absurd case started back in February 2021, when Lady Gaga's dogsitter was assaulted and shot by a group of men while he was taking her dogs for a walk. The dognappers took two of Lady Gaga's pets and disappeared in a minivan. Luckily, the dogs were soon recovered safely as well as Gaga's dog walker who revealed that she was highly supportive throughout his recovery.
At the time, Lady Gaga was in Rome to shoot "House of Gucci." As soon as she heard the news, the artist offered a $500,000 reward to anyone who could help her find her dogs. A few days later a woman retrieved Lady Gaga's dogs, claiming to have found them tied to a pole on a street. A few weeks later The LA police arrested the dognappers and discovered that the woman who found them was involved in the whole operation, but surprisingly she sued the artist because she didn't receive the promised reward. That's why the police advised Gaga not to pay the reward.
After more than two years of trials, the court of Los Angeles dismissed the case against Lady Gaga, declaring that the woman who sued Gaga was involved in the dognapping and that she "can't benefit from (her) own criminal act."

Lady Gaga Hides As She Leaves A Restaurant In LA

Lady Gaga was seen leaving 'Osteria Mozza' hiding under a tablecloth last night.

The artist was spotted going back to her car followed by her manager and her makeup artist, who helped her hide underneath a red tablecloth.

The pictures went viral online as soon as they hit the web, as this is one of the rare times that we have seen Lady Gaga since the wrapping of "Joker: Folliè a Deux" back in April.
Lady Gaga recently posted on Instagram to address her long hiatus from social media, revealing new important projects, including the making of "The Chromatica Ball Tour Film.”

Lady Gaga Reveals New Music Project And Teases Chromatica Ball Film

Lady Gaga shared a post on Instagram to address recent criticism about her hiatus from social media and to reveal upcoming new projects, including new music and the release of The Chromatica Ball Film.
 
 
In a heartfelt post dedicated to her Little Monsters, Lady Gaga explained that she has been working full time on exciting new projects - like filming the Joker sequel and running her Haus Labs brand - but also a new music project and the long-awaited Chromatica Ball Film, with an exclusive sneak-peek picture of the upcoming tour special.
You can read the full message below:
“I wanted to share a more personal moment with you today, I know I haven't been doing a lot of that lately and some of you are really longing for me to share more of mv artistic process. I've been experiencing my creativity ever since last summer in a reall special and private wav-I wrote and produced music for a special project, I prepared for months developing my character for Joker, I filmed Joker for many months (a very introspective time), I have been running my start-up Haus Labs, doing philanthropic work, and additionally have been working on The Chromatica Ball film edit. I can say for the first time in many years that my love of making art, music, fashion, and supporting community has never been more fulfilling. I may not be sharing as much of myself online as I have in the past, but I hope you know this time to myself has been extremely healing and recharging for my heart, mind, body, and creativity-to create within myself and to have a personal life that's just for me. I'm sure that may feel different because I haven't always been so private (I bet that will make some of you laugh) -but I LOVE my fans, my little monsters, so much and that will never change. I can't even begin to describe how much our global community inspires me every day to bring as much joy as I can to your lives.
Here's a photo of my working on The Chromatica Ball film edit (that's a frame from the film behind me)-I can't WAIT for you to experience it. Thank you for being willing to grow with me so that I can change and transform with the community I love so much. I hope you love all the things I've been creating for you and I hope this is a small reminder to you of my deep passion and commitment to art. “ - Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga Announces New Partnership with Nurtec ODT

Lady Gaga’s latest brand partnership has been announced. Similar to Khloe Kardashian, Gaga is working with Nurtec ODT and Pfizer to bring awareness to migraines, chronic pain, and medical remedies to combat these symptoms.
        
On Pfizer’s website, Gaga states:
“My experience with migraines was debilitating. I would be in bed for days with tremendous pain in my head, behind my eyes, and all throughout my face. I couldn’t read or have any lights on, and I needed to be alone in a quiet room for hours that could lead to days until the pain subsided.”
Footage of her Chromatica Ball Tour was used in the ad to convey Gaga’s personal relationship with performing and the pain she experiences.

Lady Gaga On What She Learnt From The "University of TikTok"

Glamour UK has just published a new interview with Lady Gaga in which she spoke about her beauty brand Haus Labs,  what she learned on TikTok, and her latest stadium tour: The Chromatica Ball.
You can read an excerpt from the interview below:
"I think the thing that I’ve loved the most is just seeing the beauty community on TikTok. Obviously not everyone is kind, but there are a lot of really kind, lovely people on TikTok that just want to share their knowledge of makeup, their knowledge of beauty, their experiments, and not only their looks, but their techniques and their hearts. I love watching people tell stories about their lives while they do their makeup to get to know them better. But also, it adds a sense of emotion and warmth to the experience, which is how I feel a lot of us feel when we’re doing our makeup. There’s a lot of reflection that takes place.
There was this one young boy I watched on TikTok who wears beautiful makeup, and he was sharing his story about how his friends would ask him not to wear so much makeup when he went out to dinners or parties with them. He talked about how that made him feel and how he was just going to continue to make the best possible look he could to really express who he truly is. I thought that was so inspiring. Of course I’ve seen other tips and tricks of how to chisel your jawline and such, but I think the real magic is when people share their hearts with you and the way that makeup transforms your life in a way that extends beyond the physical."
Then she spoke about her love for the UK:
"I have a very deep relationship with the UK. We had the honour of crafting the Chromatica Ball, our last stadium tour, in Leeds. I was living in Leeds while we created that tour and we filmed the imagery for it in London. There’s something about the UK – I feel like when I’m making anything creative there, I can feel the spirit of every artist that has ever worked there and it just seeps into the work. It’s impossible for what you're making not to feel like it’s come from there. I remember we were in Dusseldorf watching the show without me in it. It had the fashion and the imagery in it and I was just watching for the lighting with my other art directors and we all looked at each other and said ‘this is all very, very UK, isn’t it? This is very London.’ But I love the whole UK. It’s meaningful to me because I’m a huge fan of the influence it has had on makeup and fashion for me and worldwide. That's why I'm so excited to launch into Sephora UK."
Lady Gaga's makeup brand Haus Labs launches exclusively in Sephora Westfield and on Sephora.co.uk on Tuesday 6th June.

Haus Labs By Lady Gaga Launching In Sephora UK

Lady Gaga's beauty brand Haus Labs will launch its stellar supercharged makeup line to Sephora UK in-stores and online on sephora.co.uk starting June 6.
Haus Labs x Sephora UK collaboration comes after the brand's new partnership with Sephora in June 2022. Since that, Haus Labs by Lady Gaga produced a plethora of new clean, safe, high-performing, and natural skin-care-infused products. Their products were available in Sephora stores in the US and on their websites, but from June 6th they are coming to Sephora UK.
With the brand's arrival at the Sephora UK, Lady Gaga shared her insight with the British Vogue, saying:
"I discovered make-up when I was really young, and that my love of make-up has both, like, a family origin, as well as a deep passion for self-expression and artistry. ...One of the biggest problems we experience with our skin is not wearing sunscreen, so it was important to me that when we made complexion products at Haus Labs that we addressed inflammation (Triclone Skin Tech Foundation). ...I’m so excited to be launching in the UK. I have also been inspired working with make-up artists like Val Garland. I remember as a very young girl watching the McQueen shows and seeing the way that make-up went from barely there to high-fashion prosthetics and references to Leigh Bowery. The Chromatica Ball was very much inspired by the UK and its relationship with art, fashion and make-up."
 
 
Haus Labs will be available in Sephora UK stores on June 6 and it's available worldwide online on hauslabs.com.

Lady Gaga For Vanity Fairy Italy: "Find Yourself Someone To Dream With"

Vanity Fair Italy interviewed Lady Gaga at the Dom PĂŠrignon party in Los Angeles back in October.
You can read the translation below:
We are here celebrating a champagne that takes 10 years to turn into a Dom PĂŠrignon. How much does it take for an artist to become Lady Gaga?
The truth is that you never stop becoming an artist because you never stop growing. You see, this era of high speed illudes us. Most people think that creativity comes from a temporary spark, something that makes you create impulsively. That's not the truth. In the process of creation, intuition is nothing without discipline, time, and work.
But where do you find your ideas and inspirations?
It's always different. Sometimes you reflect on a personal experience, or about something you read or saw. Other times my team sends me stuff to watch or read. Other times, and this is my favorite, another artist or creative person shows me an idea to ask my opinion. These last ones are my favorites because when you are lucky to create or dream with someone, then you are not just lucky but you can also fulfill your heart, your imagination. I always say this: "Find yourself someone to dream with."
Did you learn something from the champagne and from those who make it?
Oh yes, two things. The first is the loneliness in the wait, for the work. I'm obviously talking for myself, but the act of feeling alone in your creation sometimes it's as fundamental as the act of sharing with others the intuition that you elaborated on. Then, from Dom PĂŠrignon I learned some values that I think are fundamental today: integrity, authenticity, and the quality of what you do. And you know what? Working with them taught me that in life, you have to surround yourself with people that always push you forward and who never obstacles your imagination. They never held me back, on the contrary, they always pushed me beyond. Maybe that's why Dom PĂŠrignogn is such a legendary brand.
Do you feel like a legend?
Me? A legend? No, but I worked with legends like Tony Bennett. I'm not a legend. Maybe I don't even wanna be one. Let's just say that I want to live as a student because, in the end, only when you die, you can consider yourself a master.
You gave so much power to women. Today lots of women finally have the power and are changing things. What women inspire you today?
My women. My mother. My grandmothers. And my sister. They were wise women. I won't tell you who it was, but I was speaking with one of them about mental health, and how a person with mental health issues only dreams to be well. Then she replied: that's true, but a woman does not only dream about her own health, she also dreams for the health of all the people she cares about the most. Women are wise. And words like these remind me of another woman, another legend I admire a lot: Yoko Ono.
What do you want to become as a woman and as an artist?
Look, I'm trying to do my part, to be the artist and the woman I am today. But to be as wise as the women that raised me. That would be an important achievement.

Lady Gaga Appointed As Co-Chair Of The Committee on the Arts and the Humanities

US President Joe Biden has appointed Lady Gaga as co-chair of the POTUS' Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, a board that will advise The White House on matters of cultural policy.
The committee was created in 1982 by Ronald Reagan and serves as an advising committee to the White House on many cultural issues, including recommendations to the president and to the heads of the National Endowment for the Humanities, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
President Biden restored this important committee last September, as it was disbanded in August 2017, during President Trump's campaign, when its members resigned in protest following the rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Here's the statment from the White House:
"Lady Gaga is known for her philanthropy and staunch support of LGBTQI+ rights and mental health. She has traveled with President Biden to support the It’s On Us campaign to combat campus sexual assault, has worked tirelessly over the years to advocate for equality, and has been an outspoken champion of mental health awareness. At the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, she curated a televised concert to benefit the World Health Organization’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund, helping raise over $128 million. Alongside her mother Cynthia Germanotta, she founded and leads Born This Way Foundation, which supports the mental health of young people and works with them to build a kinder and braver world. Since its inception, the Foundation has demonstrated the transformative power of kindness and its impact on mental health through youth-driven initiatives, research-based programming, and high-level partnerships."
The mission of the newly restored PCAH includes how the arts and humanities sectors can positively impact community well-being, equity, economic development, public health, education, civic engagement, and climate change across the United States.
