Lady Gaga And Tony Bennett's Music Video Debuts

Posted on Mon Oct 3rd, 2011 3:25pm PDT       By X17 Staff




The video for Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga's duet, "The Lady Is A Tramp," has hit the web!

Similar to his video with Amy Winehouse, the vid shows Tony and Mother Monster singing in studio. It's the most "normal" we've seen Gaga in a while! Guess she couldn't bring herself to wear a meat dress around the iconic Tony ...

But, she does look cute in a long, vampy dress -- and we love her retro vocal stylings!

The album, Duets II, has given Bennett his first-ever No. 1 on the BIllboard music charts.

Kanye West's Clothing Line Slammed By Critics

Posted on Mon Oct 3rd, 2011 3:10pm PDT       By X17 Staff

KanyeClothingLine230.jpgKanye West's clothing line debuted at Paris Fashion Week this weekend, and the reviews are in.

They're much worse than reviews for his music. The Wall Street Journal's fashion blogger wrote:

    "Good thing Kanye West has a day job ... The only thing more painful than witnessing the dress was watching the model pitch down the runway in shoes so ill-fitting that her spike heels were bending at angles. ... one breastplate of a top – recalled the Flintstones ... There were lots and lots of tight leather pants. ... Yet a vast quantity of luxury materials can’t blind people to a lack of creative marksmanship."


West received "tepid" applause when the show was over. The New York Times and WWD also panned the show, though that didn't deter Kanye. At the afterparty, he told the crowd:

    "I took out motherf***ing loans to get the best models, to get the best designers, to get the best venue. I gave you everything that I had ... people thought it was a joke, and maybe people still do, but I can only grow from this point."


Photog Terry Richardson Tweeted a pic of Kanye at the afterparty -- see it after the jump.

Sherri Shepherd Gets Mad At Barbara Walters For Using The "N" Word

Posted on Mon Oct 3rd, 2011 2:50pm PDT       By X17 Staff




On Monday, the ladies of The View butted heads when discussing the controversy surrounding possible GOP presidential candidate Rick Perry hunting at a camp named "N-----head."

Whoopi Goldberg said the word, then Barbara Walters did (watch above.) ABC bleeped it out each time. Sherri Shepherd was immediately offended when Walters used the word. She said:

    " ... there's a difference between the way you [Barbara] and Whoopi say it. When I heard you [Whoopi] say it, it was fine. When I heard you [Barbara] say it, I didn't like the way you said it! Because when you say it ... it's something that goes through my body ... ."


Walters responded, "Forgive me if I didn't say it in exactly the same way." But Shepherd wouldn't let the topic go -- she continued:

    "Even if you did you still wouldn't have said it the right way. It's nothing on you, Barbara, it's nothing on you ... When you say the word, I don't like it. When white people say it, it brings up feelings in me."


Shepherd said no white person should ever say the word.

REPORT: Madonna Will Perform At The Super Bowl

Posted on Mon Oct 3rd, 2011 2:10pm PDT       By X17 Staff

MadonnaSuperBowl230.jpgMadonna will perform at the Super Bowl XLVI Halftime Show, says SBNation.com.

The show isn't until February 5, but it would mark the first time Madge has performed at the event. She's been approached several times before, but it never worked out.

The past 10 years have seen U2, No Doubt, Sting, Janet Jackson, Justin Timberlake, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Prince, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, The Who, The Black Eyed Peas and Usher perform -- in other words, some of the biggest names in music.

We have to wonder how Madge would do in such an arena -- the show is supposed to be family friendly, and Madonna is notoriously controversial in her performances, from her famous "Like A Virgin" romp to kissing Britney Spears.

CONRAD MURRAY TRIAL: ER Doctor Says Jackson Was Dead "Long Before" He Got To The Hospital

Richelle Cooper (above), the ER doctor at UCLA Medical Center who pronounced Michael Jackson dead, took the stand in Dr. Conrad Murray's trial on Monday.

ConradMurrayTrialWeekTwoMonday230.jpgShe told the defense, "My assessment when he arrived was that he was clinically dead ... the resuscitation efforts would likely be futile. I felt comfortable pronouncing him." She said she never detected a pulse before calling his death at 2:26 p.m.

"Mr. Jackson died long before he became a patient I was personally responsible for," she said.

Next Dr. Thao Nguyen, a cardiologist working at UCLA that day, took the stand. She said Murray told doctors he'd only given Jackson Lorazepam -- nothing else -- and that he "did not have any concept of time." Nguyen says she asked Murray for time intervals when it came to the administering of medication, and that he was unable to answer.
