Lady GaGa "Bad Romance" : The New Grace Jones?

Urban Chameleon news

The new video from Lady GaGa is a visual stunner. Whether you love (or not love) her she giving it to you. "Bad Romance" is supposedly either about sex trafficking and/or a commentary on GaGa's transformation from aspiring starlet into a "fame monster" (the name of the upcoming re-release.) On the road to fame she is forced fed vodka, showered in diamonds, naked and malnourished in a shower and sold to the highest bidder whom she torches at the end.

Although her inspiration is quoted to be from Michael Jackson and Madonna I also see a hint of the legendary Grace Jones who damn near still looks like these pics at 61yrs old.










This is not to take away from Gaga and Ms. Jones will always be one of a kind. Whether it's innovation or reinvented innovation this video must be shared. I kinda loved it.

Let there be light: Madonna

I know this joke has been made before but I would love to see the day when a Black mogul like a Tyler Perry adopts a bunch of white children from Eastern Europe or even Kentucky could be interesting.

Madonna has promised electricity to a village in Malawi, the impoverished southern African country where she runs a charity organisation and from which she has adopted two children.

Speaking in Mphandula, some 50 kilometres from Malawi's capital, Lilongwe, the singer said on Thursday: "I know you work in darkness. I will bring you electricity."

Madonna's Raising Malawi charity already has donated $US500,000 ($556,359) for a childcare centre in the village that feeds and educates 3,000 orphaned children.

Madonna arrived in Malawi on Sunday accompanied by her four children. On Monday she broke ground for her $US15 million ($16.69 million) Raising Malawi Academy for Girls.

About 500,000 children in this nation of 12 million have lost a parent to AIDS.
