Lady Gaga is really Lord Gaga


Lady GaGa. Money Honey [Live HQ HD]
by weezy75


Rumors have been swirling around the blogosphere that Lady Gaga is really a man since video surfaced purportedly showing her peen in concert footage. I for one have seen the video several times. I tell ya, I can see something but it doesn't look like man parts to me. I'm not sure what it looks like. Skip to the 1:00 part and watch until she finishes getting off the motorcycle. Gaga released this shocking statement:

"Its not something that I’m ashamed of, just isn’t something that I go around telling everyone. Yes. I have both male and female genitalia, but I consider myself a female. Its just a little bit of a penis and really doesn’t interfere much with my life. The reason I haven’t talked about it is that its not a big deal to me. Like come on. It's not like we all go around talking about our vags. I think this is a great opportunity to make other multiple gendered people feel more comfortable with their bodies. I’m sexy, I’m hot. I have both a poon and a peener. Big fucking deal."

So....yeah...apparently she has a Peter and can do both Paul and Mary. Honestly, Gaga is so fame hungry and since nothing's shocking in 2009, this was the one stunt she could pull to get people's attention--you know, since people don't seem to care about the whole no pants thing.

Was Michael Jackson really a reincarnated Egyptian?



Was Michael Jackson really a reincarnated Egyptian? At least a few visitors to the Chicago Field Museum seem to think so. The museum's collection contains a limestone bust of an Egyptian woman that bears an uncanny likeness to the late King of Pop, including a disfigured nose. The bust was carved between 1550 B.C. and 1050 B.C. and has been on exhibit since 1988. Though he played an Egyptian courtier in the video for his smash hit "Remember the Time," it is doubtful Michael even knew of the statue's existence.

“I have no idea whether Jackson ever visited the museum,” a Field spokesperson said to the Sun-Times’ Michael Sneed. “But the similarity between the limestone statue of a woman – which is about 3,000 years old — and Jackson is astounding.”

Corazon Aquino passed away this weekend


Tens of thousands of Filipinos lines the streets to bid farewell to the Phillippines' first female president, Corazon Aquino. Pres. Aquino passed away Saturday after a long battle with colon cancer. Mrs. Aquino came to power in 1986 following in the shoes of her slain husband, Benigno "Noy Noy" Aquino. Mrs. Aquino ran against dictator Ferdinand Marcos but lost amid voting irregularities and widespead cheating. A military coup then overthrew Marcos and sent him into exile, installing Aquino amongst widespread support from the Filipino population. The street demonstrations in which ordinary people formed a live blockade to protect the military mutineers and nuns knelt in front of tanks clutching the rosary began a wave of grassroots activism which spread across the globe; The Aquino-inspired uprising is credited as one of the inspirations behind the toppling of the Berlin Wall and the end of Communist isolation of East Germany, as well as serving as the model for other popular uprisings throughout Asia and the Soviet Union.
