Elton John & Lady Gaga to collaborate at Grammy’s
Are Elton John and Lady Gaga performing together at the 52nd annual Grammy Awards this Sunday?
According to reports, the Rocket Man is set to take to the stage with the Bad Romance star at the prestigious ceremony which takes place at Los Angeles’ Staples Center on Monday.
It is not yet known what track the pair might perform, but given their flamboyant stage shows it is expected to be spectacular, a source for Contactmusic said: “Elton and Lady Gaga on the same stage is sure to create fireworks, it could be one of the most memorable Grammy performances of all time.”
The 62-year-old, singer is no stranger to show-stopping Grammy performances. In 2001, he famously joined Eminem for a version of the rapper’s hit Stan, amid controversy as the hip-hop star was widely regarded as homophobic at the time due to the lyrics of many of his tracks.
Other artists performing at the ceremony include Pink, Beyoncé Knowles, Blacked Eyed Peas and Taylor Swift.
Beyoncé heads up the list of nominations after being put forward for 10 honours, while Taylor Swift has eight, followed by Black Eyed Peas on six.
We don’t doubt Gaga will pick up a few style tips from the original ostentatious dresser.
Lady Gaga has a severe case of hat hair
Apparently, hat hair is something to embrace in 2010, if Lady Gaga is anything to go by.
Ever the eternal introvert, the 23-year-old wore her blonde locks splayed out and teased into the shape of a sunhat, as she stepped out in Sin City on Thursday.
The Bad Romance singer ensured all eyes were on her at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where she was unveiled as Polaroid’s creative director on a specialty line of imaging products.
Expressing her excitement regarding her new position, she said: “I am so excited to extend myself behind the scenes as a designer and to, as my father puts it – finally have a real job.
“I myself am a Polaroid girl. This is not an endorsement deal. We won’t be selling cameras that have my face on them.
“I really believe in the lifestyle and injecting the things that I love into [this]. … For me, what I’m really excited about is bringing back the artistry and the nature of Polaroid.”
Well, the gal’s certainly thrifty, I’ll give her that.

People’s Choice Awards 2010: Fashion round-up
The stars were out in full force last night for the 36th annual People’s Choice Awards.
The Blind Side star Sandra Bullock picked up the award for Favourite Movie Actress, Taylor Swift beat-off stiff competition for Favourite Female Artist and Twilight claimed four trophies, including Favourite Breakout Actor honours for Taylor Lautner, who was amongst the winners of the evening.
But let’s be honest, is anyone actually interested in who got a gong?
We set our beady eye on the red carpet attire – asymmetric styles and muted palettes dominated, with white seemingly the hue of choice.

Cheryl Cole: I lost my virginity at 15
She’s never been once to mince her words, that Cheryl Cole.
In an interview with Glamour magazine, the Girls Aloud singer and X-Factor judge is frank as ever. Revealing the age of her first sexual encounter, how constant gossip has put a strain on her marriage, why she’s been spotted sans wedding ring, her regret at bad-mouthing fellow WAG Victoria Beckham and why there’s no love lost where Lily Allen is concerned.
On losing her virginity: “I was 15 when I lost my virginity, but I made my boyfriend wait three months, so I am really proud of myself for that. The thought of being intimate with someone you don’t know really freaks me out. I think men should earn that intimacy. Before I met Ashley, I had only had three long-term relationships. I have quite an old-fashioned mentality and like the fact that by the time I am 33, Ashley and I will have been married for 10 years.”
On marriage rumours taking their toll: “He [Ashley] broke down about it all. He called me from the garage and said, ‘I feel sick. I’m on the cover of every magazine because apparently I’ve made you cry.’ My family love Ashley but even people really close to me are starting to believe that there’s a rift between us.”
On public appearances minus her wedding ring: “Do people really think I’m going to have an argument and take my ring off? It was a fashion statement more than a marriage statement. As my wedding ring is yellow it doesn’t go with everything.”
On speaking negatively about Victoria Beckham: “I have a lot of respect for Victoria but I said something I shouldn’t have done once – when I was asked whether it was true Victoria had been telling me how to wear my hair after everything had happened with Ashley. Like I’d give a shit what my hair looked like during that time. So I retaliated by saying I hadn’t heard from her.”
On arch-nemesis Lily Allen: “I met Lily for the first time last week, gave her a hug and she said, ‘There is no beef.’ Then I heard she was taking the piss and I thought, ‘She’s a little girl.’ I’m a 26-year-old woman and I’m not at school any more.”
The most shocking part of this is, she actually believes her marriage will last into her thirties. I give it 10 months… OK, OK, 8 months, curse my optimistic nature…

Nicole Kidman powders her nose
Someone get Nicole Kidman a mirror!
Sporting streaks of unblended white powder on her nose and under the eyes, the usually immaculate actress suffered from a make-up malfunction on the red carpet during the New York premiere of Nine, last night.
Aside from the beauty faux-pas, the 42-year-old dazzled in a Prada prom-dress giving her younger co-stars – Kate Hudson, Penélope Cruz and Fergie a run-for-their money in the style stakes.
Perhaps she was auditioning for the forthcoming Batman flick?

The Queen goes Gaga for the princess of pop
What does one wear when she is to meet with the Queen?
For Lady Gaga, a red PVC, Elizabethan-inspired gown was the attire of choice, as the ‘Bad Romance’ singer paid homage to the golden age, albeit in her own unique way.
The 23-year-old joined a host of stars – including Miley Cyrus, Alexandra Burke and Bette Midler, to entertain the Monarch at the annual Royal Variety Performance in Blackpool.
Her show-stopping display, which included playing a piano suspended 10ft in the air was certainly the highlight of the night.
I wonder if the pair exchanged style tips?

Lady Gaga’s VMA style
The most talked about moment from the Video Music Award’s may have been yet another famous rant from Kanye West, but let’s not overlook the many costume changes of Lady Gaga.
The ‘Poker Face’ singer slipped in to no-less then six outrageous outfits during the show, including what can only be described as some sort of bird nest collar-come-headpiece.
I have to admit she provided some great comical value to the show.

Lady Gaga X-poses herself
As always, Lady Gaga is ever the picture of modesty.
Snapped leaving London’s Bungalow 8 in a sheer jumpsuit, the 23-year-old singer thought a bra unnecessary, instead opting for a few strips of black tape to cover up her lady-lumps.
I do wish Gaga would come out of her shell a bit more.
