So tonight after Thanksgiving dinner I decided to climb in bed and flip through to see what was on tv. I came across Lady Gaga singing and decided to tune in. I’ve always been a fan of Lady Gaga, although I find her more recent work to be disappointing. I was intrigued when I saw it was actually part of a Muppet special. I’ve also always been a fan of the Muppets, but I wasn’t sure how well it would work with Lady Gaga. I thought it was a very unusual mashup. Turns out the special was quite a bit weirder than I imagined. Here are the Top 5 Weirdest Moments From Lady Gaga And The Muppets Holiday Spectacular.
1. Lady Gaga And Kermit Singing “Gypsy”. Okay, so everything about this was just odd. First Lady Gaga goes off talking about how lonely she gets on the road. Okay, that makes sense but then Kermit chimes in. Uhm. Really? You’re a frog. So then they start singing Lady Gaga’s new song together called “Gypsy”. It’s a pretty decent song, but it sounds weird hearing Kermit sing it.

2. Kermit Flirting With Lady Gaga – I wasn’t sure about this at first. I thought maybe my mind was just slightly warped and I was misinterpreting Kermit being a nice little muppet. But no, “Maybe sometime you can come over to my pond” was definitely Kermit’s way of flirting and the frog’s way of saying “Maybe you can come over to my place/room”. This was reinforced by an angry Miss Piggy screaming “Come over to my pond?!?” just before smacking Kermit…awkward.
3. Lady Gaga’s Condom Dress – By now no one should ever be surprised by Lady Gaga especially in regards to her clothing choices…but that was definitely a condom dress or at least a condom hat. Uhm. What happened to the Muppets being rated G? I’m pretty sure that outfit was all kinds of inappropriate for a children’s special. Luckily, a child’s mind is more innocent than my own so Gaga should be able to get away with this one pretty easily as a kid won’t notice anything odd…hopefully…

4. RuPaul Being RuPaul. Why was he (or was it a she?) even there? He didn’t add much at all…other than making a very weird Muppet special somehow even weirder.
5. At The End Of The Show When Pepe The King Prawn Rubs Lady Gaga’s Knee – I feel like they’re trying to subtly sexualize the Muppets and it’s weird because they’re well…muppets. But seriously, why he is rubbing her knee? He just randomly pops up and starts sneakily rubbing her knee. Uh okay. And when Lady Gaga mentions something about it to him he claims to be “fixing her makeup”. I don’t know about you but I always wear makeup on my knees…right.

I didn’t hate the Lady Gaga And The Muppets Holiday Spectacular…I just thought it was incredibly weird. I always think of the Muppets as being something for kids and Lady Gaga is not so kid-friendly. This special too didn’t always seem that appropriate for kids. It was just very very odd.
What did you guys think of Lady Gaga And The Muppets Holiday Spectacular? Did anyone else think it was weird?

A rep for Big Bang Theory star Kaley Cuoco recently confirmed that the actress is engaged to her tennis player boyfriend, Ryan Sweeting.
The news of the engagement came as a bit of a shock as the couple have only been dating for three months. Cuoco seemed to have started dating Sweeting immediately after calling it quits with boyfriend Henry Cavill. Cavill and Cuoco dated for just a couple of weeks before calling it quits. Cavill has yet to comment on Cuoco’s engagement, but photos that were snapped of him while on the set of his new movie, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. suggest that he is in complete shock by the news.

Sources have been saying that even though the couple have not been dating for long, Cuoco knows that Cavill is “the one”. The couple do seem very happy together. They made their first public debut as a couple at the Emmy’s last Sunday.

I am happy for the couple, but at the same time skeptical. Cuoco has proven that she moves on very fast. I wonder how much of this engagement has to do with the $65,000 2.5 carat diamond ring on her finger. It’s gorgeous and she’s definitely not shy about showing it off! Also, I’m a little surprised there are no pregnancy rumors as that is usually the first thing people think of when engagements happen this quickly…

New dad Kanye West stopped by Kris Jenner’s daytime show, Kris to release the first photo of his and girlfriend Kim Kardashian’s baby, North West!
Kim and Kanye have been hesitant to release photos of baby North West even reportedly declining millions from magazines begging for first dibs on photographs of the new born. Kanye reportedly decided to release them on the season finale of Kris to “stop all the noise”, which is a bit odd coming from Kanye. Kanye and girlfriend Kim Kardashian have been known to hog the spotlight and do things for attention.

Kanye also explained that he thought it would be cool to release the first photograph of baby North West on her the season finale of her grandmother’s show (Kris Jenner is the mother of Kim Kardashian). Their are rumors that he also released the first photo on her show to help with ratings, as Kris Jenner’s daytime show has been said to be suffering from lack of viewers.
Now that the photo has been released…who do you think she looks like? I see a bit more Kanye in her than I do Kim overall, but I do think she has Kim’s eyes and lips.

Earlier today TMZ reported that Lisa Robin Kelly, better known as Eric Forman’s demon sister Laurie on That 70’s Show, was found dead in her bed at a rehab facility she recently checked into.

Kelly was known to struggle with drug and alcohol addiction as she was arrested for DUI in August of 2010 and more recently, June of this year. Kelly was also arrested and charged for injury of a spouse in May of 2012 and assault along with her husband, Robert Joseph Gilliam in November of 2012.

Kelly’s agent told TMZ that she checked into the rehab facility earlier this week. She has been quoted as saying:
She had been fighting demons for a while and finally lost her battle.
It is easy to assume that drugs and alcohol played a significant role in Kelly’s death. However, some sources have also been reporting that she suffered from cardiac arrest in her sleep. These sources also report that despite numerous efforts, the former actress was unable to be revived. The official cause of Kelly’s untimely death has yet to be confirmed.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Kelly’s family, friends, and fans. While it is always easy to pass judgement on someone that ends up in as much trouble as Kelly did especially when drug/alcohol addiction seems to be the center of their life, let’s not remember her that way. Instead, let’s all make an effort to remember her the way she was when we were first introduced to her: as the lovable, somewhat evil and always hilarious and talented Laurie Foreman from That 70’s Show.
