UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. – May 22, 2011 – The 36th season finale of “Saturday Night Live” has scored the highest metered-market household average for an “SNL” season-closer in seven years and equaled the highest in 11 years, according to household ratings averages in the 56 local markets metered by Nielsen Media Research. Last night’s telecast, hosted by Justin Timberlake and featuring musical guest Lady Gaga, generated a 21 percent increase over last year’s season finale, marking the fourth year in a row “SNL” has matched or topped the season finale of the prior year.

The May 21 edition of “Saturday Night Live” averaged a 7.0 rating, 17 share in metered-market household averages, highest for an “SNL” season finale since May 15, 2004, when a telecast hosted by the Olsen Twins and featuring musical guest J-Kwon also averaged a 7.0. The last time an “SNL” season-ender scored higher than a 7.0 was on May 20, 2000, when an edition hosted by Jackie Chan and featuring musical guest Kid Rock earned a 7.3 rating in metered-market households. The year-ago finale scored a 5.8/14 in the local markets and for both the two years before that, the season-closer earned a 5.4. The 2007 finale averaged a 4.9.

Lady GaGa sues over breast milk Baby GaGa Ice Cream

 

And every baby out there will be getting their lawyers to send a letter to Lady GaGa for stealing their trademark for first words spoken..GAGA  

And so will the remaining band members of 'Queen' for stealing GaGa from the song 'Radio GaGa'.

I just love how these inflated ego type celebrities like to think it's all about them. It won't stand in court. But good publicity stunt!

 

In the window of The Icecreamists i s a notice informing customers that "Baby Gaga breast milk ice cream" has sold out. Lawyers for Lady Gaga are accusing the shop of trademark infringement.

LONDON—Lady Gaga is not cool about a British ice cream made with human breast milk.

Lawyers for the flamboyant U.S. pop star are accusing the London shop that has been making the unusual “Baby Gaga” dessert of trademark infringement.

A letter from the law firm Mishcon de Reya calls on The Icecreamists Ltd. to cease and desist “from in any other way associating with Lady Gaga any ice cream you are offering.”

The letter accuses the shop of exploiting the Lady Gaga brand in a manner that is, “to many people, nausea-inducing.”

It gives a Wednesday deadline: “if you wish to avoid (legal) proceedings for trademark infringement and passing off.”

The Icecreamists, located in the fashionable Covent Garden district, began selling the ice cream two weeks ago. Each serving came in a martini glass and was priced at £14 ($22.50).

But the popular dessert soon ran afoul of officialdom. A week ago city staff confiscated the shop’s supply, saying two public complaints had been lodged over whether it should be selling edibles made from human bodily fluids.

Health officials — who pointed out that viruses, including hepatitis, can be passed through breast milk — are testing the ice cream while they await guidance from Britain’s Food Standards Agency. They were expecting results Monday.

The Icecreamists, which paid 15 women who responded to an online ad to donate their breast milk, says the milk was screened in line with blood donor requirements before being pasteurized and mixed with vanilla pods and lemon zest.

Lady GaGa will earn more $100 Million in 2011

J
 

Lady Gaga's on pace to make $100 million in 2011, enough to put food on her table, body or anywhere else she wants.

The meat dress-wearing "Bad Romance" singer will get to nine-figure territory by selling lots of concert tickets at an average price of $102, according to Forbes. The magazine estimated Gaga, real name Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, made $64 million last year.

 “She’s just hitting her stride artistically and commercially now,” entertainment attorney Bernie Resnick, who represents Gaga’s manager, Troy Carter, told the mag. “We’re only seeing the beginning.”

Gaga's 138-date "Monster's Ball" tour grossed $133 million last year, second to only Bon Jovi on the list of year’s most lucrative tours. Gaga already commands $10 more per ticket, but plays smaller venues than the arena rockers.

Here's Forbes' calculation for 2011: Over the next six months, Gaga is scheduled to play 41 shows at 20,000-seat venues like Madison Square Garden in New York and the Staples Center in Los Angeles. That works out to $2 million gross per show, of which her cut is about $800,000. Multiply that by 41 and you get roughly $33 million.

In the second half of the year, Gaga has a new album, "Born This Way," coming out. That could earn her as much as $15 million in sales, Forbes figures. A similar sum could come in the form of  radio play and songwriting and performance royalties.

Since Resnick expects the album to catapult Gaga into the stadium act class, the tour for the second half of the year could reap another $45 million. The rest of her projected earnings would be in endorsements, including Polaroid sunglasses, VirginMobile phones and product placement in her videos.
Doesn't this sound like Madonna???

Annie Lennox 'Completely Entranced' by Lady Gaga

It takes a lot of guts to go out there and stand out and be different especially the way Lady GaGa does it, without fear and a lot of courage says a lot about someone. Not everyone can pull it off and I understand why music giants such as Annie Lennox and Elton John would think Lady GaGa is IT!

Annie Lennox has taken to her blog to profess her love for pop wonder Lady Gaga. The former Eurythmics singer, whose successful solo career has spanned nearly two decades, called Gaga "groundbreaking."

Recalling her own experience as an inventive performer, Lennox championed Gaga's steady supply of costumes and set designs, as well as her collaboration with Elton John at the Grammys and her work with Cyndi Lauper on MAC 's Viva Glam campaign for safe sex and the eradication of AIDS, which the two artists recently discussed in a 'Good Morning America' interview.

In a post on her official site called "Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga" -- a nod to Spoon's 2007 album -- Lennox writes, "I have to say that I am completely entranced by Lady Gaga...She is completely off the scale on just about every level, and I'm just loving it!"

Lennox is also an activist, and recently raised AIDS awareness by performing in a t-shirt that read "HIV Positive" at the 2009 Rock Hall of Fame concerts, where she sang 'Chain Of Fools' with the song's original singer, Aretha Franklin.

Lennox also noted Gaga's "stamina and chutzpah," adding, "I can tell you, that it takes f........g HOURS and a TEAM to make up and dress up on a daily incarnation like that!!!"

Lennox, who is considered the most successful female UK artist of all time due to her combined work as a solo artist and as one half of the Eurythmics, declared that Gaga has "smashed the cookie-cutter tedium" of the current music scene. "She's the real deal."
