Joanne Stefani Germanotta (born March 20, 1986), best known by her stage name Lady GaGa, is an American singer-songwriter and musician, known for work in the electronica genre.
She attended Convent of the Sacred Heart School, an exclusive private all-girls school; also attended by Nicky and Paris Hilton. As a little girl, she remembers singing into a plastic tape recorder to the likes of Cyndi Lauper and Michael Jackson.
By age four, Lady GaGa had taught herself to play the piano by ear. When she was a teenager she penned her first song. When she was just fourteen she was playing open mic nights at New York’s Bitter End, and by the age of seventeen she was one of twenty people in the world to gain early admission to the Clive Davis program at the Tisch School of the Arts at NYU.
She was a fixture in the productions of the Regis High School Repertory, including the roles of Philia in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Anna Andreyevna in The Government Inspector, Lola in Damn Yankees, Miss Adelaide in Guys and Dolls, and Alice More in A Man for All Seasons. She also sang in the productions of the Regis Jazz Band. Lady GaGa's sexuality has come under speculation many times in the media.
It was believed that she was a lesbian, until she herself revealed on an interview on MTV that she was actually a bi-sexual, also revealing many of her sexual desires and escapades, including a metallic g-string and hot tub incident, which occurred with top pop singer Katy Perry.

The video, directed by Melina Matsoukas, starts Lady GaGa arrives with her dancers, Dina and Pepper, at a house party, which seems to have ended, and one of the dancers puts a stereo on, starting the music. The crowd at the party appear to be sleeping in different areas, and are awoken by the music.
They all start to dance, and scenes of the party are intercut with scenes of scantily dressed Lady GaGa dancing in a poncho, with a disco ball or in a small rubber pool. She wears a blue lightning shaped sticker beneath her right eye like that on the single cover. She also copies some moves from the Japanese Electrogroup Perfume.
Cameo appearances are made by Akon and Flipsyde. The song appears near the end of the dance movie Make It Happen.

Saving Abel is an American rock band formed by Jared Weeks and Jason Null in 2004. The band's name references the biblical story of Cain and Abel. Null came up with the name saying "I googled the story of Cain and Abel and found a line about 'there was no Saving Abel,' which just jumped out at me." However despite the name, they're not a Christian band.
Jared Weeks and Jason Null formed the band in their small hometown of Corinth, Mississippi in 2004. Weeks was playing guitar at his best friend's house, when Null, who was in a rival local group walked in to rehearse with his band. Within days of that meeting, Null and Weeks were writing and honing the intimate writing style that now defines Saving Abel. In early 2005, the pair's songs caught the ear of noted producer Skidd Mills (ZZ Top, Saliva, and Robert Cray), who took the band into his 747 Studios in Memphis.
Saving Abel gradually came together with guitarist Scott Bartlett, bassist Eric Taylor, and drummer Blake Dixon. Weeks would toss Saving Abel demos onto the stage whenever bigger bands played in town. Weeks remembers: " I used to work at a hospital. I'd have to be there at 4:30 in the morning drawing blood. I'd wake people up and stick a needle in their arm. I'd be walking around the hospital, singing 'Addicted' in my head, writing down the lyrics on patients' clipboards and doctor script pads.
After shopping their EP for almost a year, a copy of 'Addicted' found its way to former Virgin A&R Consultant, Scott Frazier partner, Rick Smith. They were so excited that they sent the song to company CEO, Jason Flom. Flom heard enough to send A&R vet Kim Stephens (Collective Soul, Matchbox 20, Edwin McCain) to see the band in Jackson, TN. Saving Abel released their self-titled, major label debut album on March 11, 2008. The album features the single "Addicted" which peaked at #2 on the US Mainstream Rock Chart. As of November 2008 Saving Abel's self-titled album has sold over 222,858 copies and peaked at #53 on the Billboard 200.

The Last Shadow Puppets is a project of Alex Turner of the band Arctic Monkeys, Miles Kane of the band The Rascals, and composer/producer James Ford. In August 2007 NME reported that Arctic Monkeys lead singer Alex Turner and lead singer of then newly formed The Rascals, Miles Kane would be recording an album with James Ford producing and playing drums. Turner & Kane became friends when Kane's previous band The Little Flames played support for Arctic Monkeys on their May/June 2005 UK tour. The Little Flames also supported Arctic Monkeys on their April 2007 UK tour, when Turner and Kane wrote songs together for a collaborative project.
Their collaboration extended into Arctic Monkeys material, with Kane playing guitar on "505", the closing track of second Arctic Monkeys album Favourite Worst Nightmare and on "Fluorescent Adolescent" b-sides "The Bakery" and "Plastic Tramp". Kane also guested on "505" and "Plastic Tramp" at several Arctic Monkeys gigs in 2007, including the summer mini-festivals at Lancashire County Cricket Club and Arctic Monkeys' 2007 appearance at Glastonbury.
The initial recording of the album took place in France in late August 2007 with additional material added between August and December. In December Owen Pallett was appointed to arrange the strings, brass and percussion for the album with the 22-piece London Metropolitan Orchestra. During the recording of the album Turner and Kane hired a documentary film-making team, Luke Seomore and Joseph Bull, to capture the story of the project.

The video was directed by Alan Ferguson. The video begins with the band sitting in a room next to famous rock stars, one of which is Gilby Clarke, who believe that Fall Out Boy aren't "rock stars". The song starts and clips appear of the different band members breaking laws and causing havoc.
During the video clip, a graphic of a cat eating spaghetti appears abruptly, referring to an incident on The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet, where the same graphic appeared during a segment randomly. At the end of the video, the band members remove their masks and reveal that they are someone else; Andy turns out to be Mark Hoppus, Patrick turns out to be Pharrell, Joe turns out to be Gabe Saporta, and Pete turns out to be Spencer Pratt.
The video goes back to the room from the beginning, and Gilby Clarke removes his mask and reveals that he is actually Sarah Palin. When asked about his view on the video, Pete Wentz replied:
"It's a series of vignettes, and in the end, the joke is: Everyone in the world who is famous is just a WWE character. And some of you are Hulk Hogan, and some of you are The Undertaker, and it's awesome. It's just as great to come out to the boos. This one is about portraying the band, too, because there's been videos where it's been about individual characters, and this one is really a band-based video. Everyone has really equal face time, and there's a communist aspect to the video in the imagery, but we're also trying to [make] something that's equal."

It starts with a woman in her parked car, crying while looking at a picture of a man & her, with the band playing near by in a parking lot in the night with lights surrounding them. As the woman drives she sees the man in the reflection of her mirror. She then gets out of the car to check if he's there, when he's not she wanders off in the streets, grabbing Scott Anderson thinking it's him.
She goes into a late night shop and sees the man through the aisles, seeing multiples of him. She then heads to the washroom as she screams and cries and looks in the mirror at the end, when all along the reflection shows it is the man as he grabs a crumpled picture of him and the woman as the video ends. The couple in the video is speculated to have been together, but nothing is verified.

TWILIGHT is an action-packed, modern-day love story between a teenage girl and a vampire. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always been a little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix high school. When her mother re-marries and sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn't expect much of anything to change.
Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she's ever met. Edward is a vampire, but he doesn't have fangs and his family is unique in that they choose not to drink human blood. Intelligent and witty, Edward sees straight into Bella's soul. Soon, they are swept up in a passionate , thrilling and unorthodox romance. To Edward, Bella is what he has waited 90 years for - a soul mate.
But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy.

Paramore - Decode (Twilight Official Soundtrack) [Music Video - TVRip]
Hayley Williams from Paramore is a huge Twilight fan and recently talked about her love of the books and the song's title:"Twilight is the first series of books I've ever read. I didn't get into the Harry Potter series even though I love the movies. Twilight really caught my attention and held it. I'm really excited to see the book adapted to film and excited that our band gets to be a part of the phenomenon. I chose the title "Decode" because the song is about the building tension, awkwardness, anger and confusion between Bella and Edward. Bella's is the only mind Edward can't read and I feel like that's a big part of the first book and one of the obstacles for them to overcome. It's one added tension that makes the story even better." - Hayley WilliamsThe official music video premiered on November 3, 2008 on MTVu, MTV, MTV2 and on MTV.com and was directed by Shane Drake. The video features the band members walking and performing in the woods, in Nashville, Tennessee. Scenes from Twilight are also intercut.[Download Video] - [rapidshare] [megaupload] [zshare] [badongo]
