Vanity Fair Italy interviewed Lady Gaga at the Dom Pérignon 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 Pérignon. 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 Pérignon 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 Pérignogn 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.

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. Here's the full list of members: Bruce Cohen, Co-Chair Lady Gaga, Co-Chair Jon Batiste, Member Constance M. Carroll, Member George Clooney, Member Philip J. Deloria, Member M.

Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix were spotted together in New York City filming new scenes for "Joker: Folie à Deux." The troupe gathered for the second day around the iconic staircase in The Bronx where the first movie was shot in 2019. Unlike yesterday, the set was covered with a huge curtain to prevent the paparazzi from taking pictures and videos of the scenes. A few pictures have emerged from the sides of the set, showing Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix dressed in full character as The Joker and Harley Quinn. Some fans also heard Lady Gaga singing Judy Garland's "That's Entertainment" behind the curtains, proving once again that the movie will be a musical. The film is being directed by Todd Philips and is scheduled for release in October 2024.
