I've just now jumped on the Katy Perry bandwagon. I think it was the Glee version of "Firework" that got me.
I think it's safe to say that Katy's video for "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" is one of the BEST videos to come out in the pop music world so far this year (Britney - take a cue.)
It's funny, it GOES WITH THE SONG, it's got some fantastic cameos in it... and Katy isn't afraid to be a compete idiot/dress crazy/have fun with it.
I think this might be my next DVD purchase! How did I not know that this existed?!
My favorite musical Anything Goes was immortalized on film by Frank Sinatra and Ethel Merman and I had no idea. Terrible.
This video is amazing. I think I was born in the wrong decade.
The show has been through MANY incarnations as it was one of the first American Musicals as we know them today. Sutton Foster and Joel Grey currently star in the most recent Broadway revival which opened a few weeks ago.
I'll be seeing that VERY soon I hope.
Enjoy the preview starring Frank and Ethel below. (PS - a match made in musical heaven, but an odd pairing based on looks... no?)

Lee Alexander McQueen was a British designer and a force in the fashion industry. He's won countless awards, clothed everyone from Target shoppers to Celebrities to the First Lady of the United States.
It was announced earlier today that he took his own life by hanging himself, only days after his mothers passing.
His passing comes just days before London and New York fashion weeks were to begin.
Sad, sad, sad.
Suicide is not a way out. If you're going through a tough time and need someone to talk to know you're never alone. Speak out.
This is a pretty awesome interview with GaGa and Cyndi Lauper on Good Morning America.
They're there to talk about the Viva Glam campaign with Mac Makeup that they're working with. Cyndi's been at it forever, but GaGa is just getting started with them.
It's a pretty good interview.
And I have to say... it is SO NICE to see artists really working for a cause. GaGa's only been around for two years or so and she's already working it out like someone who's been in the business for years. She knows she's got attention and instead of hawking some stupid shit she's talking about women and AIDS.
I love her.
And because she didn't hawk, I'll do it for her.
GaGa is selling t-shirts on her website for Haiti relief. Check those out here.
She's also selling some sick headphones with Beats called Heart Beats... they'd be a pretty special gift for a loved one on Valentines Day. Here they are. They come in a few different colors and actually consist of state of the art sound technology. They're comparable to Bose.
She's also got tickets to another leg of her US tour going on sale soon.
And don't forget to pick up the deluxe edition of The Fame called The Fame Monster. It has all 8 of her new songs on it plus the original The Fame album.
She was also cool enough to release The Fame Monster as its own CD just in case you already owned The Fame (other artists DON'T do this, they want you to have to re-buy everything, GaGa gets that all her fans have to work for their money) at $7.99. It's 8 tracks long and contains a little art photo booklet.
And I can't even begin to speak of all the amazing things Lauper is up to. Check out her official website CyndiLauper.com to see all the great stuff she's up to with Mac, True Colors, and more.

I love how she talks about Downtown Manhattan. I didn't think I could fall any more in love with it until I hear her talk about it how I've always seen it.
That might sound strange but it makes perfect sense to me.
Lady Gaga took time out of her personal life to head down to DC during the Equality March to lend her support and perform for the thousands in attendance...
Instead of performing one of her own pieces (and attempting to sell albums at the worst time possible, like others might) she performed John Lennon's Imagine, and of course threw in her own verse or two and made it relevant to the event.
Needless to say it's pretty breathtaking.
I think John would approve (Yoko might sue, however...).
Enjoy.
Equality for all.

WORK WORK WORK!
This is so great. Gaga took time to recreate her hit song Poker Face for SNL this past weekend. She also personalized it for SNL and for NY and for her fans IN NY. So amazing. She actually sings!
Eat that Ashlee Simpson.
How cool is that sphere thing she's wearing at the top?!
Amazing.
She's also broken a few records on the Billboard charts this past month, as well as outselling most other artists this year with a debut album. She's also completed a world tour and still is on the tip of everyone's tongues! I really REALLY hope she's around for a long while.
I also hope that she doesn't have a Britney/Whitney like meltdown.
