Billboard Cover: Woman of the Year Lady Gaga’s Raw, Revealing Interview
Lady Gaga is sitting in her “sanctuary” -- the sprawling, olive tree-dotted backyard of her Malibu home -- when a silent, tie-clad man arrives with cocktails on a tray. “Thank you,” she says, with the sort of silver-screen elegance that it’s surprising a “dahhhling” doesn’t follow. “I might have busted my ass on the Lower East Side, but there is something nice about a good dirty martini.”There’s a chill in the air, and while she’s wearing only a tattered Springsteen tee tucked into high-waisted denim shorts, Gaga is intent on watching the sunset. These days, the woman born Stefani Germanotta seeks out serene moments -- although her admission that she “craves normalcy” is almost a revolutionary statement from someone who proudly declares that she deals in “the theater of the absurd.” As recently as 2014, the Grammy- and Guinness Record-stacking megastar, who has sold 10.4 … [Read more...] about Billboard Cover: Woman of the Year Lady Gaga’s Raw, Revealing Interview

It’s a mystery. Surely a Dislike button is the Yang to the Yin of the Like button, and therefore absolutely essential if we’re to maintain balance within the force.Not so, at least according to Mark Zuckerberg, who, rather ironically, dislikes the very idea of a Dislike button. Zuckerberg was asked about the possibility of adding a Dislike button to Facebook during the Q&A with Mark held at the company’s headquarters in California.Zuckerberg curtly replied:Some people have asked for a dislike button before. They want to be able to say that a thing isn’t good and that’s not something that we think is good for the world.

‘What the Hell Is Skimbleshanks?’ The Oral History of
James Van Der Beek and Chris Parnell in SNL’s Cats sketch. You remember it, right? Photo-Illustration: Vulture and NBC How soul-sucking would your job be if you had to do the same thing 11,000 times in a row with no variation? How much worse would it be if that job involved singing and dancing in full cat makeup? That was the premise of a 1999 Saturday Night Live sketch that took viewers behind the scenes of the record-setting 11,000th performance of Cats. In it, Chris Parnell plays a jaded member of the cast giving the backstage tour, with all the joy in his life eroded by years of starring as Skimbleshanks. Dawson’s Creek star James Van Der Beek, hosting the day after Varsity Blues hit theaters, played Freddy, an eager young actor who just joined the ensemble as Rum Tum Tugger. (His enthusiasm is not infectious — when he invites some cast mates over for board games and a viewing of his new Legends of the Fall DVD, one of them attempts to strangle him.)
