Islamic group banishes "messenger of the devil" Lady Gaga

6 hours ago | avclub.com | See recent The AV Club news »

Hoping to prevent her from becoming some sort of tantalizing symbol of secularist liberation, Islamic extremists put a stop to a sold-out Lady Gaga concert in Indonesia, thereby ensuring the loyalty of a surely grateful people through staunch fundamentalist oppression. The show had become a target of the violence-prone Islamic Defenders Front, who decried Gaga's attempts to "corrupt the youth" with her "sexy clothes and provocative dance moves" while branding her a "messenger of the devil," whose forked tongue tempts the righteous with generic platitudes about being yourself, and other evils. After the group claimed to have purchased more »

Madonna’s ‘Born This Way’/’Express Yourself’ Mashup: Insult Or Peace Offering?

6 hours ago | Celebsology | See recent Celebsology news »

A camera was on hand recently as Madonna rehearsed for her upcoming Mdna world tour in Tel Aviv, recording some surprises in the pop star’s show. The video captured Madonna lip-syncing (duh) her hit 80s song ‘Express Yourself,’ with the chorus of Lady Gaga’s ‘Born This Way.’ Is this latest mashup of songs a dig at Gaga or a compliment praising Gaga's work? 

The drama regarding the similarity between these two songs has been ongoing: “I thought, this is a wonderful way to redo my song,” Madonna told ABC news last year about ‘Born This Way.’ “I mean, I recognized the chord changes. I thought it was…interesting.”

Although Madonna has said that she believed Gaga was influenced by her work, the 26-year-old phenomenon is not buying it: “I’m a songwriter,” Gaga told British music magazine NME last year. “I’ve written loads of music. Why would »

Roll Call: Madonna Covers Lady Gaga's Born This Way - Slam Or Homage?

6 hours ago | Access Hollywood | See recent Access Hollywood news »

Your Daily Dispatch of Celebrity Shenanigans!

Paws Still Up?: Are the pop star claws out again or has the disco-stick hatchet been buried? It's been awhile since we've heard news about the alleged feud between Madonna and Lady Gaga - that is until Madonna covered Gaga's "Born This Way." Footage of Madge popped up on YouTube this weekend of the superstar singer rehearsing for her upcoming world tour. In the middle of "Express Yourself," the singer cut into "Born This Way," (which Madonna called "reductive" back in January.) The "Born This Way" interlude is then followed by Madonna's own ...

Madonna mashes up 'Express Yourself' with Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way'

6 hours ago | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »

Madonna fans should keep a close watch on the "Mdna" tour kickoff on May 31 for the setlist -- the veteran pop star may include a mash-up of one of her tunes with one of Lady Gaga's. In a rehearsal footage YouTube video posted over the weekend, Madge is shown performing "Express Yourself," which then segues into Mother Monster's "Born This Way." The latter was often criticized for sounding too much like the former, and obviously Madonna was listening. "I thought [when I heard 'Born This Way'], this is a wonderful way to redo my song ['Express Yourself']," the singer told »

Madonna Covers Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way' (Video)

7 hours ago | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »

Pop Queen Feud Alert: Madonna unexpectedly covered Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" during rehearsals for her concert in Tel Aviv, fueling speculation as to whether it was a calculated jab to exert diva domination or an homage to a rival. We'll go with the former. Earlier this year, Madonna -- a mistress of media manipulation -- addressed similarities between the Lady Gaga single and her own "Express Yourself" in an interview with ABC News, saying: "I thought, this is a wonderful way to redo my song. I mean, I recognized the chord changes. I thought it was ... interesting." Gaga, who's acknowledged

Madonna disses Lady Gaga: 'She's Not Me' included in 'Born This Way' - 'Express Yourself' mash-up

7 hours ago | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »

It's no secret that there are parts of Lady Gaga's song "Born This Way" that sound quite similar to Madonna's 1989 single "Express Yourself." Madonna herself told Newsweek earlier this year, "I thought [when I heard 'Born This Way'], this is a wonderful way to redo my song ['Express Yourself']. I mean, I recognized the chord changes. I thought it was...interesting."

However, now Madonna has maybe fired another, more pointed shot at Gaga's hit. Over the weekend, while rehearsing in Tel Aviv, Israel for her upcoming tour, Madonna performed a mash-up of "Born This Way" and "Express Yourself" that launched into "She's Not Me," the sixth track from Madonna's 2008 album "Hard Candy."

Burn?

Something tells us Lady Gaga probably won't care that much.

So, what do we think, Pop2it readers? Is Madonna a past-her-prime artist trying to stir up trouble? Or is Lady Gaga a copycat who isn't up to snuff? Who's side are you on? »

Justin Bieber Scuffs with Papparazzi; Madonna Rips Off Lady Gaga; Mark Zuckerberg Honeymoons in Italy

ReelzChannel Celebrity Rundown

Police want to question Justin Bieber after he allegedly got into a scuffle with a paparazzo Sunday outside a mall in Southern California. A photographer filed a police report saying Bieber struck him after he snapped photos of him and girlfriend Selena Gomez coming out of a movie. The photographer complained of pain and was taken to a hospital, where he was treated and released. Bieber left the scene before officers arrived but allegedly the photographer was blocking Bieber and Gomez from entering their car. Police want to question Bieber and get his side of the story. Amid the altercation, Biebs lost his hat and one of his purple shoes. Looks like those boxing lessons from Mike Tyson are working.

Madonna vs. Lady Gaga: Round 89

10 hours ago | TheInsider.com | See recent The Insider news »

The seemingly dormant war of passive aggressive digs between Lady Gaga and Madonna has just been resurrected as The Material Girl's plan to cover Born This Way on her upcoming world tour have been revealed.

When Mother Monster dropped the individuality anthem in 2011, everyone was quick to point out the musical and lyrical similarities between Born This Way and Madge's 1989 classic, Express Yourself. Various mash-ups drove home the point and in January 2012 Madonna addressed the issue for the first time, telling Newsweek, "I thought, this is a wonderful way to redo my song. I mean, I recognized the chord changes. I thought it was … interesting."

Madonna Covers Lady Gaga's "Born This Way": Tribute or Dig?

11 hours ago | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »

Madonna wanted to express herself, all right. But was it to give props or poke fun? The pop superstar was caught on video this past weekend in Israel rehearsing for her upcoming world tour when, midsong, she suddenly burst into a Lady Gaga ditty and melded Mama Monster's lyrics with Madge's own. Shall we ring the bell for round two (or three) of Madge's ongoing feud with Gaga? And what were the songs in question? But of course: It's "Express Yourself" versus "Born This Way." In the footage, which was apparently shot on the Dl by a snoopy onlooker privy to the rehearsal (security clampdown!), Madge bops and belts her 1989 female-empowerment hit. Suddenly, »

Watch: Madonna Covers Gaga

19 hours ago | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Perhaps it's because Madge hasn't been in the spotlight much since her album, Mdna, topped the Billboard charts (and suffered a subsequent nosedive in sales), but she recently went out of her way to once again remind everyone that she is, in fact, older than Lady Gaga.

The queen of pop was performing "Express Yourself" at a rehearsal in Tel Aviv, Israel when she suddenly trotted out a cover of "Born This Way." Of course, the two tracks blended seamlessly. Though she stayed mum on Gaga's song for some time after its release, Madge eventually said she felt the single was "reductive" and undoubtedly influenced by her earlier work.

The whole affair had an air of condescension, as if Madonna was wielding the cover like Jay-z did when he silenced Noel Gallagher and other critics by performing "Wonderwall" at Glastonbury. (The Oasis singer had taken great umbrage at the fact »

Lady Gaga tells Indonesian fans she's 'devastated' over cancelled show

22 hours ago | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »

Jakarta, Indonesia (AP) — Lady Gaga told fans she was "devastated" at having to cancel her sold-out show in Indonesia following threats by Islamic hard-liners, who called her a "devil worshipper." Controversy over the concert is a blow to the predominantly Muslim country's reputation as a tolerant, pluralist society that respects freedom of expression. Some fans accused police — who refused to issue a permit over concerns about security — of buckling to the will of a small group of thugs.

Lady Gaga Sends Love To Fans After Canceling Indonesia Show

28 May 2012 7:41 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Jakarta, Indonesia — Lady Gaga told fans she was "devastated" at having to cancel her sold-out show in Indonesia following threats by Islamic hard-liners, who called her a "devil worshipper."

Controversy over the concert is a blow to the predominantly Muslim country's reputation as a tolerant, pluralist society that respects freedom of expression.

Some fans accused police – who refused to issue a permit over concerns about security – of buckling to the will of a small group of thugs.

"We had to cancel the concert in Indonesia," the 26-year-old pop diva tweeted to her followers Sunday night after promoters acknowledged concerns about her own safety and that of her "Little Monster" fans if the show went ahead.

"I'm so very sorry to the fans & just as devastated as you if not more," she wrote. "You are everything to me."

Did Madonna Just Make A Gaga Dig?

28 May 2012 7:35 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Madonna appears to have made a dig at Lady Gaga during rehearsals for her upcoming tour.

The singer was filmed performing Express Yourself before launching mid-song into a rendition of Gaga's track Born This Way - a song which has often been compared to Madonna's classic hit - while on stage in Israel.

In footage posted on YouTube, the queen of pop then launches straight into She's Not Me, from her 2008 record Hard Candy.

Gaga, with her eccentric style and pop anthems, is seen by some critics as a pretender to Madonna's crown.

Madonna has previously addressed the similarities between Express Yourself and Born This Way. She told The Daily Beast: "I thought, 'What a wonderful way to redo my song'. I mean, I recognised the chord changes. I thought it was... interesting."
