Lady Gaga...cocaine addiction licked! Album due after Christmas...

She once had a monkey on her back, thinks the freaks are the regular Joes in middle America (not artists like her), and tends to talk in such a garbled fashion (marbles in mouth syndrome) that - at times - the Pop Diva is difficult to comprehend.

What did I think was rude?

Lady Gaga appeared on Larry King Live! behind ubiquitous - but “cool”-looking dark shades - which shielded her face for the most part.

Actually, It was a very butch look when teamed with her short-cropped hair, man’s white shirt, and snazzy black suspenders.

When Larry compared Lady Gaga to Madonna, she beamed, and noted that the material girl was a wonderful friend and incredibly supportive.

“There are no bad comparisons to Madonna, because she’s great,” Lady G gushed without holding back.

When the chat turned to religion, the chart-topper noted that she was raised a Catholic.

In spite of a solid religious foundation provided during her youth, Lady Gaga admitted she still struggled with her feelings about the church.

“In terms of religion, I’m very religious, and I believe in God.”

In spite of that, she confided to Larry King that she’s still confused about religion and would like more peace in respect to the issue.

She was quick to add that she didn’t feel any prejudice towards other sects or religious organizations.

The talented musician is also an advocate of gay rights.

Her admiration for the LGBT community arises from what she described as their  “joyful courage” and their ability to be “brave” in the face of adversity.

For the record, Lady Gaga was inclined to note that all her friends tend to be homosexual.

“Gay men never wanted anything from me,” she added almost as an after thought.

Curiously, when Larry probed further about her own sexuality, Lady Gaga became tongue-tied.

Although reluctant to confide in Larry “point-blank” about her sexual persuasion - Lady Gaga confessed that - like so many others - she’s looking for love.

Right now, fans satisfy that need for love.

Children?

In her own inimitable way, she explained:

“My womb is not beckoning for a child right now.”

On the issue of coming clean - getting off cocaine, for instance - she was pretty dismissive.

“It was ruining my life.”

By her account, it was not difficult to get the monkey off-her-back.

Lady Gaga looked embarrassed when King made mention of her generous spirit.

“At a Local pub in Birmingham, you picked up everyone’s tab. True?”

Awkwardly, the - at times shy-and-retiring Pop Diva - admitted it was.

“I am blessed,” she asserted.

Entertaining 17, 000 fans at a concert is a thrilling experience. she noted for the record.

“If you weren’t in show business, what would you be doing,” Larry probed further.

Without skipping-a-beat, she laughed.

“I am show business."
“So, I wouldn’t be here," she chirped up in all sincerity.

The “Just Dance” album - which was released in 2008 - was a ureka! moment in which her act, persona, and stage image all came together.

Lady Gaga hasn’t “looked back” since.

Although fans will be disappointed, the musical wonder will not be releasing a new album ‘til after Christmas.

“I need more time to give fans what they deserve.”

In the meantime, Lady Gaga intends to perform live and travel the world.

The Lady is spreading her wings!

God speed!

Elena Kagan...crossing legs basic instinct! Obama and his dangling leg...

Just one of the guys!

Infamous Basic Instinct scene titillated a Nation!

There was a big flap this morning when critics accused a Washington Post columnist of being sexist.

Alongside an article on Elena Kagan's style, the fashion editor ran a publicity still of Kagan firmly ensconced in a deep armchair with her legs "open".

Unlike the Sharon Stone character in "Basic Instinct" - the Supreme Court nominee was wearing panties - so what's the big deal?

When I was a kid, I was taught that a man planted his feet firmly on the ground, when he was in a seated  position.

If I ever crossed my leg over the other - and dangled it over my knee - I would be scolded.

"It's not manly."

So, when Barack Obama became President and started to cross his leg over one knee during interviews, I had mixed emotions.

Does that mean it's okay for the rest of us guys to do it without running the risk of being called a fag?

One masculine-looking News Anchor - Bill Hemmer - throws his leg over a knee almost daily on the popular show.

When it comes to the issue of gaiety, does it all boil down to whether the gam is swung up-and-down in a swishy fashion?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Elena Kagan...White House bars interview with brother! Alarm Bells go off amidst furor!

Quite a few alarm bells went off over the past twenty-four hours - when the White House maneuvered a surprise about-face - and turned down a request by the New York Times to attend a class on constitutional law headed up by Elena Kagan's brother who happens to be a teacher.

In addition, the Barack administration barred access to Kagan's cousin.

Pundits on noon-hour tabloid news shows were in a frenzy as they tried to fathom this highly-unusual dragonian turn-of-events.

One astute anchor-person noted that when Sonia Sotomayor was being confirmed, the White House openly invited the press to meet her family and friends without restriction.

"They wanted to give the impression that this was one of those great rags-to-riches stories. The Supreme Court Justice nominee was an inspiring example of a common individual who rose from humble beginnings to a lofty perch in the highest court in the land."

The move to prevent a dialogue with Elena's brother and cousin has caused an outcry!

Also, the bizarre conduct of White House staff, has sent up a red flag!

What are "they" afraid of?

Obviously, there must be a skeleton in Kagan's - um - closet!

"Don't Ask - Don't Tell"...Soldiers have right to shower free of intrusion! Policy changes...

The battle rages on - not on the front - but in the locker rooms on military bases around the globe.

Once again, the Government was pressured to re-visit the controversial - "Don't Ask - Don't Tell" - policy which has rankled many in the ranks from day one.

Under the current rule of Law, originally enacted during the Clinton Administration, Military officers are barred from asking service members about their sexual orientation (or trying to determine it by dubious means).

Likewise, the Military's charges are required by law to keep their sexual orienation to themselves (not flaunt it or openly practice their sexual preference on base).

Although Barack Obama made a promise to take a second look at the policy on the campaign trail - with the aim of ending an on-the-fence "wish-washy" concept (typical of Bill Clinton) many found ludicrous - the President has stopped short of fulfilling it.

This past week, the Government appeared to be going in that direction, when the Department of Defense implemented stricter guidelines in respect to the thorny issue of discharging gay and lesbian soldiers under the "Don't Ask - Don't Tell" policy.

In a nutshell, the changes (effective immediately) raise the standard for charging that someone is gay.

Now, only Generals have the authority to approve discharges.

Insiders note that the revisions are basically a "stop gap" measure designed to maintain the status quo until Congress has the opportunity to debate whether the "Don't Ask - Don't Tell" law (instituted in 1993) should be repealed.

In recent days, some officers (who spoke anonymously for fear of retaliation) complained that if an officer didn't "like you" - a rumor might be launched with military-style precision - with the ultiimate aim of ousting the "accused" unjustly.

Under the new guidelines, clandestine accusations from the shadows, would not hold any water.

Someone who charges that a service member is gay or lesbian must  now testify under oath.

Only an officer can begin an investigation, lead one, and dismiss a service member if it is determined the allegations are true.

Under the old policy, Homosexuality (for either sex) was defined as "demonstrating a propensity or intent to engage in homosexual acts."

Now, the law stipulates that "the love that once dare not speak its name" arises from "engaging in or attempting to engage in a homosexual act or acts" or a statement by the individual that he or she is gay.

The changes apply to all "open cases" currently under review, too.

Since "Don't ask - Don't tell" went into effect military records reflect that thirteen-thousand members have left service.

"I believe these changes represent an important improvement in the way the current law is put into practice - above all - by providing a greater measure of common sense and common decency to a process for handling what are difficult and complex issues for all involved, " defense secretary Robert Gates asserted in a press conference on Friday.

Of course, the logistics of co-habitation - on the base and in the trenches - remains a touchy one for all military personnel.

Straight soliders complain about the prospect of having to share quarters with a homosexual.

And, likewise, have been quite vocal about their reluctance to shower with a soldier who is a sexually active gay man or woman.

Personally, I am inclined to take sides with the heterosexual soldiers when it comes to the issue of the body politic.

If I was a blond bimbo babe in uniform, I wouldn't warm up to the idea of showering with a bull dyke, for obvious reasons.

A straight solder also has a right to shower in privacy (or alongside a fellow straight dude) without fear that some gay guy is surreptiously stealing glances at his naked studly bod.

The situation is comparable to straight guys who constantly "cop feels" with women they're attracted to.

It's common sense!

If a male employee in a company in anywhere (USA) kept ogling the "boobs" of a secretary at the water cooler, he'd be brought up on charges of sexual harassment (I dare say!).

The critics who chuckle that straight soldiers need to "grow up" are the ones that are missing the point.

Even the military appears to hold the view that I do, when you consider the fact that an official put forth the notion that housing arrangements (two to a room), should be overhauled, too.

In fact, the top Officer at the Marines - General James Conway - announced this past week that he would not force Marines to share rooms with gay service members if Congress repeals the loopy "Don't ask" policy.

The General asserted for the record that an "overwhelming" number of Marines would be opposed to bunking with someone of a different sexual orientation.

Did he poll the officers or has he arrived at the numbers off-the-cuff, though?

"The Marine Corp may be inclined to phase out double-bed bunking accommodation in favor of single rooms for service members," he stated  matter-of-fact with no qualms about it.

Conway has been an outspoken opponent of the call for a repeal of the "Don't ask - Don't tell" law.

Why?

"I think the policy works," he testified at the Senate Armed Services committee meeting last month.

3 Star commander Army Lt. General Benjamin Mixon was rebuked for urging service members and their family members to lobby their elected officials against the changes in effect now.

If my memory of history serves me right, the Greeks actually promoted the practice of "gays" in the military on the assumption that homosexual men would fight valiantly (and fiercely) to protect their country and their male lovers on the battlefield.

Conway, on the other hand, argued that Marines worried that allowing gays to serve openly would harm unit cohesion and discipline.

Personally, I hold the position that if a soldier can pass muster on his or her capabilities alone, he or she should be allowed to serve.

As is the case in the heterosexual community, sexual misconduct would not be tolerated in the "gay" ranks, and would warrant discharge if proven in a fairing hearing in a court of law.

Yeah, there's no life like it!

Kristen Bell...she said what? Sexy quotes...

Lipstick Lesbo

Kristen Bell is feeling footloose, fancy-free, and hot-to-trot au naturel with the ladies!

In a recent interview with Health Magazine, the perky blond let it slip that on the set of "Burlesque" (Cher & Chrisina Aguilera starring) that she may be inclined to become a lipstick lesbo.

In her own words, the actress gushed excitedly:

"I have never felt so much good female energy around me. I find that I can't take my eyes off them. I'm ninety-nine percent sure I will leave this movie a lesbian."

I'd set up a date with former Senator Sheila Kuehl - but it appears that feisty Zelda (Dobie Gillis) - is jumping ship too.

Butch love?

Chastity Bono...pursues sex change! A man in a woman's body?

Even revellers at the weekend Gay Pride celebration in West Hollywood were surprised when the startling news flash zig zagged around the globe.

Chastity Bono announced her decision to have a sex change operation to become a man.

The sexual identity scenario faced by Cher's daughter raises a couple of intriguing questions.

Did Ms. Bono encounter mental and emotional (even physical difficulties) when she tried to pursue a loving lesbian relationship with another woman in her current sexual persona?

Once Chastity goes under the knife - and ultimately transforms into a man - will any relationship she pursues with a woman in the future be considered a heterosexual one?

I applaud her courage in "coming out" on the issue.

When I was a teenager, anyone who declared themselves "gay" (we didn't use that term in those days") was considered "queer" and ripe for therapy.

One doctor, if I recall correctly, asserted that he could "treat" homosexuals and cure them of their "affliction" so that they could go on to live happy (normal) lives in nurturing straight relationships.

Personally, I've always felt that the individual (and society) should go along with the natural inclination (sexual instinct) instead of fighting it (oftentimes with disastrous heartbreaking results).

I recall the wild musings that rumbled around the world when the Christine Jorgensen story broke a few decades ago.

In the "dark ages" of sexual identity - and gender-bending - it was quite a mind-blower.

According to Ms. Jorgensen, it was simply a case of a man being born in the wrong body at birth.

I'm sure glad there weren't any slip-ups like that when I arrived in the world a bundle of joy!

To this day, when Jorgensen's name pops up on the news or in a conversation, it triggers an image of her stepping off an airplane waving happily to reporters and curious onlookers after the transformation was complete.

Many more have paved the way since - so, I expect the journey will be easier for Ms. Bono - who appears to be bent on resolving her sexual identity crisis.

Well, she's got ba**s, that's for sure!
