Lady Gaga Will Sing for the Queen at Annual Royal Variety Performance. One of the talented artists of the moment, the spectacular and eccentric Lady Gaga, has been booked to perform for the Queen of England during an upcoming annual event. Given Gaga’s known penchant for anything that’s shocking, the royal aides are hoping that she will tone down her performance a bit so as not to offend, insider sources say for the same publication. What is exciting about Lady Gaga is that there are few to no limits when it comes to performing live, for instance, she finished her performance of Paparazzi covered in blood and hanging from the ceiling in what was to be a make-believe suicide by hanging, all within the context of the songs theme. Another appearance saw the singer dressed in a futuristic gown, which also included spinning orbit created especially for Gaga by Nasir Mazhar. It goes without saying that Gaga understands the nature of the event and will construct some way to perform without having to compromise her artistic integrity. In a recent interview with American talk show host Jay Leno Gaga revealved that she will also get to meet the Queen herself. The Royal Variety Performance is a well-known charitable event which they support and they meet all the stars involved. The annual Royal Variety Performance will take place on December 7 at Blackpool’s Opera House. Comedian Peter Kay will act as host, while other performances will include Mika, Alexandra Burke and Michael Buble. The Fame Monster is available on the itunes online store and on Amazon now.

Mariah Carey delivered her best vocal performance of late at the X Factor Sunday night show. This was  a world class performance fit for The American Music Awards, her runs were simply breath taking.

A really talented journalist is writing an article about the best classic films everyone should watch and asked i-like it a lot to contribute: 


Kill Bill 1&2 Submitted by: Clifford Wilson of I like It A Lot www.i-likeitalot.blogspot.com


Kill Bill 1&2, Originally conceived as one film, it was released in two separate volumes. The movie is an epic-length revenge drama, with an extensive use of popular music and pop culture references and deliberately over-the-top violence. It is stylish, graphic and postmodern. The film is a perfect cultural mélange of eastern culture and Hollywood cinema. It’s uses amazing mise en scenes, is ambitious and has this element of no bullshit. It’s true to the conventions of a novel as it has a convoluted plot, rich visual cinematography and explicit content. Like a novel it is not in chronological order and starts in the middle, adding to the suspense. Kick as director Quentin Tarantino creates a cinematic spectacle sensory overload. Kill Bill 1&2 all star cast includes Uma Thurman, Lucy Liu, Vivica A. Fox, Daryl Hannah, David Carradine and Michael Madsen.

According to reports Mariah Carey has requested: 20 white kittens to surround her while turning on the lights, 100 white doves to be released during the celebrations, 80 security guards to mind the singer during the event and Pink confetti in the shape of butterflies. An amazing car perhaps One Rolls-Royce to drive her through the shopping centre. One pink carpet for her to walk down as she makes her way to the podium 15 members of her personal entourage including company executives, her PAs and PR people. The event is scheduled to start at 6pm however no one knows what time the Diva will actually take to the stage.

Rihanna previewed her Rated R Album at the Brixton Academy On Monday night, tickets were free and could be won via the nokia live website or by bringing a Nokia handset to the Nokia Flagship Store on Regent Street and asking a member of staff for a free ticket, all 500 tickets were gone by 3pm. The show which was streamed online started at 8pm and was done and dusted within 30 minutes. Highlights included  appearances from Jay-Z and Young Jeezy but the crowd seemed very sterile and a majority of journalists described the show as awesome despite the fact that Rihanna needed a backing vocals to sing sitting in a chair, I enjoyed the show from home however it was too short and I was expecting greater things from Rihanna this time around. Rated R is a good studio album but I feel Rihanna just wasn’t bringing it live like she should have been for this exclusive album preview which included performances of three tracks (The wait is over, Hard ft young Jeezy and Russian Roulette). Rihanna did look stunning and naturally beautiful in HD. A friend who actually attended said that Rihanna live was “rubbish, underwhelming and shit.” Highlight of the show Jay Z and Young Jeezy. At around 10.30pm, on the way out the driver did not close the boot of the van and Rhianna’s luggage spilled out all over the road. After the luggage was locked away, Rihanna and her entourage headed for some sushi at Nozomi. They then headed to Mahiki nightclub to party until 3am, where she was joined by Jay-Z and Beyonce.
