Now Lady Gaga 'gives birth' on stage: Outrageous singer releases gold liquid

By MARCUS BARNES

Another Gaga stunt: Lady Gaga donned a fake baby bump, rested her feet in stirrups and 'gave birth' to gold liquid as she sang hit Born This Way on Saturday Night Live


She's covered herself with blood, emerged from an egg and danced around with a crucifix on her crotch.

And now Lady Gaga can add giving birth to her growing list of outrageous stage show stunts.

With a false belly attached to her midriff, the singer placed her legs in a pair of stirrups and proceeded to secrete gold liquid during a performance on U.S. show Saturday Night Live.


Controversial: The singer is never one to shy away from outrageous stunts - this the latest in a long line of bizarre performances


The 25-year-old singer began her performance by emerging from a pod, emblazoned with the name Beluga Gagaviar No1 - a reference to the famous, and very expensive, brand of caviar.

Wearing a pair of PVC trousers and a cropped PVC blazer, which exposed her ultra-flat midriff, she launched into a typically energetic performance, singing all the vocals live as usual.

Towards the end of the song her dancers surrounded her and, when she emerged from the scrum Gaga had acquired a huge bump.

She immediately headed from a mock hospital bed to the side of the stage where her dancers helped into a pair of stirrups, and she subsequently 'gave birth' to a gold liquid.

The performance was part of Saturday Night Live's closing show which was hosted by singer Justin Timberlake.


Eccentric: Gaga's influence spread to the set of the show which was covered with gold and black stripes to match the outfits of her dancers and herself


Plenty of bottle: Gaga joined in the fun throughout the show dressing up as a wine bottle in this Liquorville with host Justin Timberlake


Gaga also performed her songs Edge Of Glory and Judas during the show, as well as joining in with the comedy sketches.

she was the female element in a song about threesomes performed by Timberlake and comedian Adam Samberg.

The hilarious song, which included the chorus 'It's okay when it's in a three-way, it's not gay when it's in a three-way. With some honey in the middle there's some leeway, the area's grey in a one, two, three-way.'


Surprise: Timberlake and Samberg end up in bed together without Gaga in the amusing video


The singer kept a straight face throughout the song, which sees Timberlake and Samberg end up in bed together without her.

In another scene she put a huge cork on her head, with a dress covered in grapes and a huge wine glass on each of her arms in Timberlake's Liquorville sketch.


Appeal: Gaga asked fans to send in videos for the advert and editors were inundated with material


Fans responded within minutes and uploaded hundreds more videos.

As the videos streamed in, editors worked on the video in real time dropping in new footage as it was received.

The film was completed four days ago, just in time for Gaga's performance on yesterday's season finale of Saturday Night Live.

'I've taken responsibility in the past, so should she.'

That's just how she rolls: Cher Lloyd gets down with her dancers as she prepares to shoot debut music video

By SARAH BULL


This is how I roll: Cher Lloyd joins a group of hopefuls as she auditions dancers for her debut music video


She won over Cheryl Cole with her unique mix of rapping, singing and street dancing when she auditioned for The X Factor.

And now Cher Lloyd has posted a video of herself auditioning dancers for her debut music video - working them hard to ensure they are up to her standards.

The 17-year-old star is seen getting down with the hopefuls to make sure they 'gel' with her.


Getting down: Cher appeared to be enjoying herself in the video of the auditions, which she posted on her official website


In the video, Cher says: 'The auditions are going really well. I'm really glad there's bedroom dancers as well.

'I'm looking for fresh-faced people, just people that mix in with the crowd and just back me up really.'

Cher, who wears baggy jeans, a brown vest top and checked blazer, is then seen getting up and joining the group for an impromptu street dancing session.

She explained: 'The reason I got up and started to dance with them was because I wanted to see if they would actually gel with me and to see the interaction.'


Are we gelling? Cher laughs as she messes around with the dancers


Watching and learning: Cher appeared in awe of some of the tricks performed by the candidates


Cher has been in New York and Los Angeles recently putting the finishing touches to her debut album.

And songwriter Savan Kotecha, who is executive producing the record, said it is sure to be a hit - and sounds just like Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie's first solo album.

He said: 'It's such a blend of different things. Each song is so different from the other, but it's her.


I can do it too: But she was also keen to prove her own worth as she made her way into the centre of the room to dance with the rest of the hopefuls


'The only way I can describe it is that it's like Fergie's solo album, where London Bridge was completely different from Clumsy, but then you also had Big Girls Don't Cry, but Fergie was still the red thread throughout it all - that's how Cher's songs are.

'There's some hard ones, some vulnerable ones and some fun, silly ones and she just delivers on every one. We were just so impressed.'


Home again: Cher was seen arriving at London's Heathrow Airport today after her trip Stateside


Cher's debut album is due for release on 12th September.

In bed with Rihanna! Flame-haired beauty gets intimate with topless man

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER


Sultry: Rihanna is her sexiest yet in the video for California King Bed


Rihanna is her most sultry yet in the video for her new ballad, California King Bed.

In a marked departure from up-tempo hit Only Girl (in the World) the sixth single from her Loud album is a slow-paced song about lovers growing apart.

The short film, which was directed by Anthony Mandler in Los Angeles, features the scarlet-haired Bajan beauty lying between the sheets with a shirtless lover.


All white: The video begins and ends with the pop superstar lying in tall grass in her underwear


As she laments the distance between the protagonists lying on the California King Bed, Rihanna - dressed in white shorts and bra - is sexy and dishevelled as she rolls around restlessly.

Donning a floaty night dress, the 23-year-old then laments to a heavenly backdrop of clouds and a Californian sunset as the lover drifts away.


Intimate: This is the singer's most revealing video yet


The director changes from colour to a black and white lens during the song's third refrain, before switching back to colour for the final shots of Rihanna lying in a field of grass, the same shot that opens the video.

At the end of February, the pop superstar took to Twitter to poll her fans, asking them to choose her next single, she wrote: 'QUESTION EXISTING: I'm shootin a new vid in a cpl wks, I just need u to tell me, which song should I shoot? What is my next single?" she tweeted before firing off, "Its hard to go from s+m to SKIN! Don't want to be 2 swiney.'

California King Bed was announced as the next single just a few days later.


Yearning: Director Andrew Mandler conjured up a real Californian sunset


The singer has been jetting across Europe to promote the big event, which culminated in the rousing gig last night where she blasted through Only Girl (in the World), Disturbia, Don't Stop the Music, Umbrella and the new single.

Rihanna has also just signed on to perform at the opening of The Today Show's summer concert series.

Her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown has also signed on to perform but they will be on stage on separate days - Rihanna on May 27 and Brown on July 15.

Nicole Scherzinger makes the earth move in Right There video with 50 Cent

Climbing the walls: The sultry singer shows off her fancy footwork for the track from her album Killer Love


As a former Pussycat Doll and Dancing With The Stars champion, Nicole Scherzinger is something of an expert in the art of throwing moves.

The 32-year-old singer is seen exhibiting her fine skills in the video for Right There, the track chosen from her debut album Killer Love to launch her solo career in the U.S.

It was shot just two weeks ago on the streets of Downtown Los Angeles and now the finished product has arrived.


Sliding sidewalks: Nicole Scherzinger looks incredible in her new music video Right There, seen here dancing on a moving pavement in a stomach-revealing crop top


Nicole exudes confidence and sexiness in the video and, thanks to some computer trickery, she even manages to make the earth move, so to speak, as she performs on sliding pavements.

Rapper 50 Cent also features - however it is only thanks to some clever green screen technology that has resulted in them appearing in the same shot.

The rap artist, also known as Fiddy, was not actually there when Nicole filmed the video and his segments have clearly been recorded separately.

Nicole, who has been rumoured as a possible host for the U.S. X Factor, wears an array of sexy outfits throughout, including slinky harem pants and a cropped vest top which shows off her honed stomach to perfection.


Collaboration: 50 Cent also features with the two appearing together thanks to some clever green screen technology


While she might not have the Pussycat dolls for company anymore, she is accompanied by a throng of female backing dancers who join her for some street party jamming.

Speaking about her album to MTV News recently, Nicole promised her fans plenty of empowering tracks.

She has worked with hit producer RedOne on the project, who has also collaborated with the likes of Lady Gaga, as well as a host of other big name hit-makers including The-Dream.


Hot moves: Nicole is currently launching her solo career in the U.S.


Nicole said: 'Well, I did a lot of the album with my producer RedOne and then I did sprinkles, other colours of the album with producers like Jim Jonsin and The-Dream and Tricky Stewart and Ne-Yo and I'm fortunate enough to have my boy 50 [Cent] and Snoop on the album.'

'So it's definitely got empowering, strong dance anthems and then I got an urban twist in there and some really good uplifting songs as well.'

In a recent interview, Nicole said she is no longer in touch with her former Pussycat Dolls bandmates.

Justin Bieber befriends bullying victim Casey Heynes

By ANDREA MAGRATH


No one will bully him now: Justin Bieber has befriended Australian viral internet sensation Casey Heynes


One is a superstar, idolised by millions of fans around the globe, and the other was, until recently, an unknown student from the western suburbs of Sydney, Australia.

But when a video of school yard bullying victim Casey Heynes fighting back against his tormentors went viral, he caught the attention of Justin Bieber.

The singer, currently on tour Down Under, tracked down Casey after hearing about his story and invited him to his Melbourne concert.


Support: Justin invited Casey, who became a worldwide sensation when a video of him fighting off bullies went viral, to his concert in Melbourne


Justin, who has been vocal in his campaign to stop bullying, has called Casey a 'real life hero.'

Bieber alerted his 9.3 million Twitter followers to the YouTube video of Casey being punched repeatedly by bullies before snapping and 'body slamming' his attacker to the ground.

Since it was posted online in March, the video has been reported on and discussed in newspapers and on television shows across the globe including the Daily Mail as well as TMZ, CBS and The View.

Despite the violent way in which he reacted, support for Casey, who says he has suffered daily verbal and physical abuse since primary school, has been widespread.


Rising star: The 16-year-old bullying victim introduced Justin's hit song Never Say Never


'When I first saw it on TMZ I thought, this is crazy, like I couldn't believe it, it's amazing,' 17-year-old Justin told Casey backstage.

'It shows everybody else that you have to stand up for yourself and you can't just take it.

'The first thing you should do is go tell someone, but then you might have to hit back, sometimes you have to so I think that was important for you, especially in that situation. I'm proud of you — and so many other people are.'


Meet and greet: Justin told Casey and his family, 'I'm proud of you - and so many other people are'


Bieber invited Casey, dubbed 'Casey the Punisher' onstage, where they hugged and Justin asked him to introduce his next song Never Say Never.

After the show Justin tweeted: 'Pretty special night tonight in MELBOURNE....surprised someone me and the team look up to. A kid with a lot of courage.

'This is Casey the punisher...a kid who stood up for himself against bullying. A real life hero.

He added: 'Well 2nite we tracked down Casey and his family and flew him to the show. Thank you Casey (sic).'


Fellow internet sensations: The singer, who rose to fame on YouTube, tracked down Casey and his family and flew them to Melbourne


In the 40-second video, the bully is filmed prodding Casey in the face and stomach while fellow students laugh and encourage him.

After taking the abuse for a period of time Casey suddenly snaps, picks up his smaller attacker and slams him down onto the concrete ground in a powerful wrestling move.


Fighting back: A video of Casey being punched in his western Sydney school yard before snapping and 'body slamming' his attacker against the ground has received worldwide attention


In an interview aired in March with A Current Affair, Casey says said he had never reacted like that before, but this time, 'Everything had built up over three years.
'All the anger came out of it.'

But he does not promote violent retaliation as a way of dealing with bullies. 'Try to walk away,' he advised. 'But if a fight starts, sometimes things happen.'

With one of the globes biggest stars in his corner, it doesn't look like Casey will be bullied again.

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.
