She follows in the footstep of the global superstar Lady Gaga, who won the award in 2010 and Justn Bieber who won last year. </P><P>Lana Del Rey faced competition from Aloe Blacc, Grammy award winning Bon Iver, Foster The People and Nicki Minaj but triumphed over the stiff competition posed by her fellow nominees. In her acceptance speech, she thanked her British fans, saying "This award means much more to me than you know and I just want to say that without the support of everyone is this room and everyone in the Uk I'd really be lost so thank you, I love you." Will.i.am of Black Eyed Peas announced the winner of the award, with the comedian Rob Brydon. When her name was called, Lana walked to the stage, with her song 'Video Games' cued up to play "it's you, it's you, it's all for you." She began her speech by saying "this award means much more to me than you know," the emotion audible in her voice. </P><P>Lana Del Rey has divided critics, many of whom have been disappointed by her live performances, following her much-loved debut single 'Video Games.' Despite this, her album, Born To Die went straight to number one in its first week of release in the UK, where it remained the following week as well.</P><br /><p><a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/google/QXCK/~3/Y0hxBfAkFyk/url" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p>Robert Connorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15598728437561151287noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290796716872889530.post-77702171348517007382012-02-25T20:43:00.000-08:002012-02-25T20:43:00.704-08:00 <BR><IMG alt="" src="C:\Program Files\ABS\Auto Blog Samurai\data\Lady Gaga Reloaded\gagafeed\" width=600 height=428><P><BR>Lady GaGa has recruited the help of Michael Jackson's close pal Deepak Chopra, after revealing she believes the devil is haunting her in her sleep.</P><P>The Marry The Night singer is also thought to have turned to the 65-year old Indian healer to help her deal with her superstar status, much like the King of Pop did when he was alive.</P><P>The Daily Star has quoted GaGa as saying: "I have this recurring dream where there’s a phantom in my home and he takes me into a room where there’s a blonde girl with ropes tied to her limbs pulling her apart.</P><P>“I told Deepak the dream was so terrifying I thought somehow that a devil force was trying to take hold of me. He laughed and told me that I should learn to embrace my own insanity.</P><P>"I told him: ‘The Devil is trying to take me, Deepak.

"The dieting has got to stop," she told Brentwood School students at the It's Our Turn conference in Los Angeles earlier this month. "Everyone just knock it off. Because at the end of the day, it's affecting kids your age -- and it's making girls sick." </p><p><img alt="2012-02-18-tstandingbowcopy.jpg" src="/2012-02-18-tstandingbowcopy.jpg" width="320" height="448" style="float: left; margin:10px"/></p><p>The 25-year-old American artiste formerly known as Stefani Joanne Germanotta may still be struggling, but she looks great and she's doing great things, especially giving timely advice to teens. One of the reasons the popular princess of pop is doing so well is the compassionate advice she's been getting from her private yoga teacher Tricia Donegan.</p><p>Yup, that's the very same yoga teacher whose praises Gaga sang of last spring on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and I subsequently interviewed for The Huffington Post</em>. (If you missed "Lady Gaga's Yoga Instructor on Self-Compassion," here's the link to that blog.) Donegan, the owner and director of New York's Bikram Yoga Lower East Side, stepped out of her hot yoga studio once again to answer her "celly," as she calls her cell phone, and a few questions about how to end America's addiction to being skinny. </p><p>As she did in our first interview, Donegan talked about some of the same things I talk about with my clients, like losing weight with loving-kindness. What follows are highlights from our most recent long-distance chat. </p><p><strong>Q. I imagine you must get clients on all kinds of diets. What are your thoughts on dieting? </strong></em></p><p><strong>A.</strong> Not only are a lot of clients on all different kinds of diets, they're on all different kinds of antidepressants and anti-anxiety medicines. I find it goes hand in hand. I have clients doing juice diets, clients who fast, clients who stop eating, clients who are "breatharians." When the clients are able to work harder at being nice to themselves than the actual effort that's going into losing calories, the calories seem to drop. Not only do the calories seem to drop initially and continuously, it seems to last. Because they haven't just changed their mode of dieting, they've actually made an internal change. When people put more effort on being nice to themselves, the weight is easy. Try it other way around, weight is awful. If they get a little bit off, it comes right back. Then they try something different because that didn't work. And they keep going around and around and around, trying something different.</p><p><strong>Q. What do you tell clients who are hooked on dieting? </strong></em></p><p><strong>A.</strong> I don't use the word "diet" -- it's an awful word. Whole foods are best. Eating slow is best. Most important is self-compassion. If clients can be nice to themselves, they'll slowly make that internal change. So when they get thin, no matter what happens in their life, they can maintain that status quo. One of the goals I have for clients is to understand that their only goal is to be the best they can be that day, that minute, that moment. Then there's no problem being nice to yourself.</p><p><strong>Q. How do you work with clients who struggle with serious eating issues?</strong></em></p><p><strong>A.</strong> The first step: I try to create a safe place [in my studio]. I have clients sign a safety contract. Basically it says they are willing to work on accepting they have an eating disorder, and they're willing to work on it. In turn, I'm willing to work with them. It says they're going to read your book or join a chat group or [use any of the] many resources that are out there. The next step: We go through and see what kind of healthy eating they can do rather than diet eating. The third step: When we start to practice yoga, we start every session with five minutes of self-compassion practice. It's great to be committed to any kind of practice as long as you can figure out how to do it differently every day, so you don't check out during it. </p><p><strong>Q. You look like you the picture of health and fitness, but have you ever struggled with your weight or body image? </strong></em></p><p><strong>A.</strong> I am the "American dream." I am a woman. I own a business. I have a family. I have a kid. I run around like crazy to maintain that "American Dream." In America, it's very hard for anyone not to become addicted to being skinny. I am in the business of wellbeing, and I find myself having to spend more time during my day than I'd like to on how I physically look so I can attract America into my studio and then sneak the wellbeing into them. I've watched myself change. I grew up with Madonna and her biceps. She was very inspirational at that point in my life. Now I'm trying to figure out what serves me. When you're older, your priorities change. It's not about dropping calories, it's about strengthening your bones and organs, being able to be there to watch your family grow.</p><p><strong>Q. Given that over-exercising can be a form of bulimia, I imagine you see some number of clients who use Bikram to purge themselves of unwanted calories. How do you help clients who are over-exercising?</strong></em> </p><p><strong>A.</strong> Overexercising is an addiction. What we try to do as yoga teachers and practitioners is learn how to respond and not to react. Over-exercising, in my opinion, is usually a reaction to what just happened. It's like, "I'm going to be able to eat all this because, later on, my reaction is going to counteract that." When you're aware of your addictions, you're able to change them. Even though Bikram is an awesome calorie burner, it's also yoga, and we still build awareness in how to respond rather than react. If you do that, you won't be able to over-exercise. Yoga and self-compassion practice both build awareness, so you're only doing things that serve your body and your brain. </p><p><strong>Q. Anything we didn't get to that you'd like to add?</strong></em></p><p><strong>A.</strong> Right now, the most exciting thing happening is our future Lower Eastside Girls Club. They've got the land, they've got the money, and they're building a 30,000-square foot place just for girls. There's going to be a wellness center, a yoga center, a body-image center, a bakery, a social-media center, a planetarium... The money [including $20,000 raised by Bikram Lower East Side's monthly Nite Sweats fundraiser] is donated by like-minded people who understand what changes the world, and how to do it. These girls are getting everything they need. </p><p>Photo by Mike Pozarik</em></p><p>For more by Jean Fain, L.I.C.S.W., M.S.W., click here.</em></p><p>For more on mental health, click here.</em></p><p>Jean Fain is a Harvard Medical School-affiliated psychotherapist specializing in eating issues, and the author of "The Self-Compassion Diet."

After celebrating its 500th episode last night, animated comedy sitcom "The Simpsons" revealed that Lady Gaga will be starring in the upcoming season finale." src="/221133-lady-gaga.jpg"> <P>After celebrating its 500th episode Sunday night, animated comedy sitcom "The Simpsons" revealed Lady Gaga will be starring in the upcoming season finale.</P><P>"Since the very beginning, I've always wanted to have on the most iconic personalities of our time, and she's it," said creator Matt Groening, to Entertainment Weekly.</P><P>Finishing up its 23rd season, "The Simpsons" has become the longest-running scripted show on television. The cartoon officially debuted on Dec. 17, 1989, and is contracted to continue for the next two years. </P><B>Like us on Facebook</B> </P><P>"The great thing about having Lady Gaga is that she came in a number of times and always with a different getup," Groening said to E! Online. "She'd leave the room and come back in after a break with a completely new getup. It was unbelievable. The only time she ever took off her hat was when it was banging into the microphone."</P><P>The finale episode will be called "Lisa Goes Gaga," in which the fashion pop icon will visit Springfield to cheer her up.</P><P>"I play a little bit of a slut," Gaga said of her appearance in the episode according to Entertainment Weekly. "The apple doesn't fall far from my artistic tree."</P><P>Some other noteworthy celebrity cameos on the Simpsons over the years include British comedian Ricky Gervais, Coldplay's Chris Martin, and country legend Johnny Cash.</P><P>Although the animated comedy has been airing for over 20 years, cast member Nancy Cartwright said there are other celebrities she would like to work with, too.</P><P>"I've always wanted to work with Hugh Jackman," the Bart Simpson voice actress told E! Online. "They'd do a song and dance and that'd be fun! A musical! I think that the next movie that they do should actually be a musical and get all these guys: Lady Gaga, Michael Buble and Josh Groban."</P><P>In August, when Gaga recorded her voice-overs for the episode, she revealed that voice acting was a new experience for her.</P><P>"I make music, but I don't do voice-overs every day of the week," the 25-year-old pop celebrity told Entertainment Weekly. "Their characters are so awesomely convincing and sincere and wild and funny. I had to remind myself constantly of the sincerity of the humor."</P><P>Among her accomplishments ranging from an HBO tour special to Grammy Award victories and outlandishly original music videos, Gaga said that her appearance on "The Simpsons" ranks high up on her list.</P><P>"I would say this is one of the coolest things I've ever done," she said to Entertainment Weekly. "My dad's probably going to do 80 backflips when the episode comes out." </P>To report problems or to leave feedback about this article, e-mail:mail("l.eadicicco","ibtimes",0,"?Subject=FEEDBACK: [301532] Lady Gaga on Simpsons Episode: 'One of the Coolest Things I've Ever Done'&body=%0A%0Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.ibtimes.com%2Farticles%2F301532%2F20120220%2Flady-gaga-simpsons-episode.htm","Mr Nobody") <BR>To contact the editor, e-mail:mail("editor","ibtimes",0,"?Subject=FEEDBACK: [301532] Lady Gaga on Simpsons Episode: 'One of the Coolest Things I've Ever Done'&body=%0A%0Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.ibtimes.com%2Farticles%2F301532%2F20120220%2Flady-gaga-simpsons-episode.htm","Editor") </P><br /><p><a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/google/QXCK/~3/_nP7XM1E3Js/url" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p>Robert Connorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15598728437561151287noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290796716872889530.post-78896954300608746722012-02-25T04:00:00.000-08:002012-02-25T04:00:11.084-08:00 'I want to go into a coma and levita­te.

I’m a good girl!’ He said not to worry.”</P></BLOCKQUOTE><P>– <STRONG>Lady Gaga</STRONG> on her recurring nightmare. I think Deepak (can I call him Deepak if we’ve never met?) is onto something here. I used to have a recurring dream just like this, only instead of a phantom, it was an evil dragonfly man. And instead of a blonde girl being pulled apart, it was a brunette cocooned in saran wrap and then eaten. I was terrified at the time, but looking back, I was processing a lot of dark feelings and grappling with my own sanity.  I think Carl Jung would be very pleased with Deepak’s interpretation.

"I thought this was a sick, twisted dream that I would eventually wake up from."</P><P>But it's no dream.</P><P>Tschida was one of two Missoula students to receive personal invitations to attend the kickoff event for Lady Gaga's new foundation, Born This Way, a name derived from the pop icon's album and self-empowerment anthem. Only 100 students from across the country were invited to the Feb. 29 event on the Harvard University campus.</P><P>The pop icon hopes to take her anti-bullying message to a new level with the launch of a foundation that will use research, advocacy and education to empower America's youth and promote acceptance.</P><P>"It's exciting that little Missoula, Montana, is being recognized and noticed for their youth leadership and commitment to anti-bullying work," said Heidi Wallace, director of youth programs for the National Building Coalition Institute in Missoula.</P><P>Wallace is accompanying Tschida and 16-year-old Ekoo Iko'tsimiskimaki Beck, a senior at Hellgate High School, to the event. Both students have worked as youth leaders trying to combat bullying, violence and prejudice in the community.</P><P>"For me, it's such an honor that the students are being recognized because they are so amazing and they've done so many things, not only in Montana but on a national level for their anti-bullying and violence prevention efforts," Wallace said.</P><P>The Gaga nonprofit is in partnership with the Harvard Graduate School of Education, Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet and Society and the John D. & Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. Organizers of next week's event discovered Tschida and Beck through Internet searches for youths making a difference in their communities.</P><P>Tschida, who graduated from Hellgate High School last spring, has been involved with the coalition building institute for several years and last year attended the first-ever federally funded LGBTQ -- lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer -- youth summit in Washington, D.C.</P><P>"I'm ecstatic about their foundation," Tschida said. "I really love what they stand for: ending cruelty and bullying. Everyone is born the way they are. I'm passionate about that kind of message. I want everyone to see their worth and love themselves. That's the first step in changing the world."</P><P>Tschida looks up to strong female role models, including Lady Gaga, Madonna, Grace Jones and Oprah Winfrey, who is scheduled to be in attendance at next week's launch.</P><P>The selected students will attend a youth forum aimed at idea swapping, networking and discussing the themes connected with the mission of the Born This Way Foundation. Later that evening, Lady Gaga and her mother Cynthia Germanotta will host an official launch of the foundation.</P><P>Beck, an enrolled member of the Blackfeet Tribe, is looking forward to learning how other youth across the country combat bullying and violence and is eager to share all of the violence prevention and prejudice reduction programs in Missoula.</P><P>Beck is encouraged that the Born This Way Foundation is inviting students to offer feedback on the topic. Encouraging student input on youth problems is also how the coalition building institute operates.</P><P>Each year, between 40 and 60 youth in Missoula undergo training to later host peer training seminars for high school freshmen. All freshmen at Hellgate High School and Big Sky High School take part in a violence prevention workshop.</P><P>Funding from the school district to continue the violence prevention workshops dried up. Beck applied for a grant from the America's Promise Alliance to fund the violence prevention program and expand NCBI-sponsored Respect Clubs -- currently in the middle schools -- to Lowell Elementary School. Respect Club is co-sponsored by the after-school Flagship Program.</P><P>"Ekoo started in Respect Club with me at Washington Middle School and now she's one of our senior youth trainers," Wallace said.</P><P>Not only is the kick-off event a great way to exchange ideas with other like-minded students, but Tschida and Beck are pretty gaga about the possibility of meeting Lady Gaga.</P><P>"It's amazing they found two students from Montana," Beck said. "This is a huge foundation and it was created by someone who is incredibly influential. To be a part of that is amazing."</P><br /><p><a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/google/QXCK/~3/pBvUyb4ntaI/url" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p>Robert Connorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15598728437561151287noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290796716872889530.post-40320457751021034882012-02-24T13:41:00.000-08:002012-02-24T13:41:00.307-08:00 <P>Someone pinch Tyler Tschida.</P><P>"I almost couldn't believe it was happening," said the 19-year-old University of Montana freshman.

Both students have worked as youth leaders trying to combat bullying, violence and prejudice in the community.</P><P>"For me, it's such an honor that the students are being recognized because they are so amazing and they've done so many things, not only in Montana but on a national level for their anti-bullying and violence prevention efforts," Wallace said.</P><P>The Gaga nonprofit is in partnership with the Harvard Graduate School of Education, Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet and Society and the John D. & Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. Organizers of next week's event discovered Tschida and Beck through Internet searches for youths making a difference in their communities.</P><P>Tschida, who graduated from Hellgate High School last spring, has been involved with the coalition building institute for several years and last year attended the first-ever federally funded LGBTQ - lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer - youth summit in Washington, D.C.</P><P>"I'm ecstatic about their foundation," Tschida said. "I really love what they stand for: ending cruelty and bullying. Everyone is born the way they are. I'm passionate about that kind of message. I want everyone to see their worth and love themselves. That's the first step in changing the world."</P><P>Tschida looks up to strong female role models, including Lady Gaga, Madonna, Grace Jones and Oprah Winfrey, who is scheduled to be in attendance at next week's launch.</P><P>The selected students will attend a youth forum aimed at idea swapping, networking and discussing the themes connected with the mission of the Born This Way Foundation. Later that evening, Lady Gaga and her mother Cynthia Germanotta will host an official launch of the foundation.</P><P>***</P><P><STRONG>Beck,</STRONG> an enrolled member of the Blackfeet Tribe, is looking forward to learning how other youth across the country combat bullying and violence and is eager to share all of the violence prevention and prejudice reduction programs in Missoula.</P><P>Beck is encouraged that the Born This Way Foundation is inviting students to offer feedback on the topic. Encouraging student input on youth problems is also how the coalition building institute operates.</P><P>Each year, between 40 and 60 youth in Missoula undergo training to later host peer training seminars for high school freshmen. All freshmen at Hellgate High School and Big Sky High School take part in a violence prevention workshop.</P><P>Funding from the school district to continue the violence prevention workshops dried up. Beck applied for a grant from the America's Promise Alliance to fund the violence prevention program and expand NCBI-sponsored Respect Clubs - currently in the middle schools - to Lowell Elementary School. Respect Club is co-sponsored by the after-school Flagship Program.</P><P>"Ekoo started in Respect Club with me at Washington Middle School and now she's one of our senior youth trainers," Wallace said.</P><P>Not only is the kick-off event a great way to exchange ideas with other like-minded students, but Tschida and Beck are pretty gaga about the possibility of meeting Lady Gaga.</P><P>"It's amazing they found two students from Montana," Beck said. "This is a huge foundation and it was created by someone who is incredibly influential. To be a part of that is amazing."</P><P>Reporter Chelsi Moy can be reached at 523-5260 or at chelsi.moy@missoulian.com.</P><br /><p><a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/google/QXCK/~3/pk4fZFmCFZc/url" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p>Robert Connorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15598728437561151287noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290796716872889530.post-63121103129779288222012-02-24T09:26:00.000-08:002012-02-24T09:26:00.992-08:00 on <STRONG>February 20, 2012M</STRONG> at <STRONG>11:31 pm</STRONG> <P>Next to winning country album of the year for the second year in a row, trio Lady Antebellum have a favorite memory from last weekend’s Grammy Awards that tickled many country music fans.</P><P>“The funniest thing to me … my best memory of this year’s Grammys, I think it was the front row, it went Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, Lady Gaga.

Suggested, mind you, but never said outright.</P><P>Some listeners, apparently, agreed with the Queen of Pop's insinuation, and proceeded to throw more fuel on the fire via the social modes of Facebook and Twitter.</P><P>So was Madonna ever really suspicious of Gaga, or is this all fan-fueled media hype?</P><P>A new story in Rolling Stone </EM>doesn't do much to clear up the misunderstanding. In reference to the supposed feud, Madge told the music publication of note, "I thought, this is a wonderful way to redo my song. I mean, I recognized the chord changes. I thought it was...interesting."</P><P>Ouch.</EM> Talk about damning with faint praise.</P><P>The plot thickened when MTV News released a section of the Rolling Stone </EM>interview that never made it into print. Apparently Madonna called Lady Gaga's song "reductive," and when the interviewers asked her if that was a good thing or a bad thing Madonna told them to "look it up."</P><P>If I were Madonna I would tread lightly around this one. Lady Gaga's last album sold over 1.1 million copies. That's a lot of Little Monsters to have on your case.</P><P>However, maybe there is hope for a peaceful resolution.</P><P>The hashtag "#ladygagamadonnapeace" is currently trending on Twitter, so perhaps the worst of this conflict is behind them.</P><br /><p><a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/google/QXCK/~3/ZYVBvgZu1OM/url" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p>Robert Connorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15598728437561151287noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290796716872889530.post-25007229389583179962012-02-23T21:43:00.000-08:002012-02-23T21:43:00.231-08:00 <P><STRONG>Are you an aspiring journalist currently in high-school? Participate in the debate below and win the opportunity to cover Lady Gaga's Born This Way Foundation launch event with Oprah on February 29. </STRONG></P><P>Jury selection has begun in the trial of in the trial of Dharun Ravi, the former Rutgers University student charged with using a webcam to spy on his roommate Tyler Clementi, who later committed suicide.</P><P>The case against Ravi began on Sept. 19, 2010, when he sent the following Twitter message: “Roommate asked for the room till midnight. I went into molly’s room and turned on my webcam. I saw him making out with a dude. Yay.” Authorities say he also used a web camera in his dormitory room to stream Clementi's intimate encounter live on the Internet. Three days later, Clementi committed suicide. Ravi faces 15 counts, including bias intimidation, a hate crime which carries a possible sentence of 10 years in prison.</P><P>Clementi's case highlights the seriousness of anti-gay bullying, a problem which has particularly impacted high school teenagers dealing with the complicated issues of gender, sexuality, and difference. Multiple bullied gay teenagers have committed suicide in the past several years.</P><P>To address this issue, internationally-renowned pop star Lady Gaga and her mother, Cynthia Germanotta, are launching the Born This Way Foundation (BTWF), which will support programs and initiatives that deal with empowering youth. BTWF's mission is to "lead youth into a braver new society where each individual is accepted and loved as the person they were born to be." </P><P>Gaga has been a stand-alone leader in shedding light on the issue of teen bullying. She met with President Obama to discuss the bullying epidemic in high schools after the suicide of 14-year-old Jamey Rodemeyer. When news broke of his death in September 2011, Gaga tweeted, "The past days I've spent reflecting, crying, and yelling. I have so much anger. It is hard to feel love when cruelty takes someone's life."</P><P>Gaga will be launching the Born This Way Foundation on Wednesday, February 29 at the Harvard. A star-studded cast including Oprah Winfrey, Deepak Chopra, and U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius will join for the launch.</P><P>PolicyMic has press access to cover the launch, and we're hosting an exclusive competition for aspiring high school journalists to determine who will attend on our behalf. Here's how it will work: (1) Answer the question below (in 1,000 characters or less) and participate in the discussion before <STRONG>9:00am on Friday, February 24</STRONG>; (2) The most mic'd participant at the end of the debate will get the chance to cover the event for PolicyMic. We'll provide a small travel stipend and get you set up in Cambridge. The winner must be able to attend in person at that time. PolicyMic will provide a travel stipend of $100 but the winner must be able to cover the remaining costs to attend the event.</EM></P><P><STRONG>Join the debate: Why is high-school bullying a problem?

The apple doesn’t fall far from my artistic tree.”</P><P>Uh oh. Is Gaga going to be a bad influence on the sweet and wholesome Lisa Simpson? Will she teach her how to dance? Will she whip Bart into shape? Will she give Marge hair tips? Will she eat donuts with Homer? The possibilities are endless.</P><P>The exact air date of the season finale of ‘The Simpsons’ has not yet been confirmed, but it should air sometime in May.
