Gaga is giving some proceeds earned from the just-released 'Country Road Version' of her hit song to the gay-advocacy group GLSEN. By Jocelyn Vena

Late last month, Lady Gaga unveiled a guitar-searing, harmonica-infused, countrified version of her smash hit single, 'Born This Way,' via her Twitter account. Ten days after its debut, Gaga has officially released the track, and will donate some of the proceeds from the tune to charity.
A portion of the money earned from sales of 'Born This Way (Country Road Version)' will go to the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), which, according to the organization's website, 'strives to assure that each member of every school community is valued and respected regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity/expression.'
The country remix of the hit song, which was co-produced by Gaga and Fernando Garibay, boasts some new lyrics that play up the track's twangy influences. Over picked mandolin accompaniment, Gaga sings, 'If I wanna make it country, baby, it's OK/ 'Cause I was born, I was born, I was born this way/ From London, Paris, Japan back to USA/ I was born on the road, I was born to be brave.'
In February, during a chat on Gayle King's talk show, Gaga confirmed that there would be two videos for 'Born This Way.' The Nick Knight-directed, sci-fi-influenced clip for the song's original version dropped at the tail end of February. Meanwhile, there's no word when or if Gaga will ever release a video for the 'stripped-down' country version of the track considering she just wrapped up work on her clip for Born This Way's second single, 'Judas.'

Mother Monster reveals the song's release date in new online video post. By Jocelyn Vena

The opening minute or so of the 41st installment of Lady Gaga's Gagavision, the first edition of the pop superstar's video blog after a lengthy hiatus, shows her getting her makeup applied with a searing techno song playing as the soundtrack. As the close-up footage of Gaga's face gets rolling, words appear on the screen announcing, 'Music from Born This Way 5-23-11.'
But it's the end of the Gagavision episode that likely will excite the singer's fans the most, as it includes an announcement all of her Little Monsters have been waiting for — the release date for her next single, "Judas." As Gaga is shown dancing in rehearsals for the 'Judas' video, which she co-directed with her creative director, Laurieann Gibson, Mother Monster is heard in a voice-over saying, 'So that concludes Gagavision Number 41. 'Judas' is coming. Let the cultural baptism begin.' A message is then shown that reads, 'Judas April 19. If they were not who you were taught they would be, would you still believe?'
The Gagavision installment also gives fans a glimpse at what life is like for Gaga, sometimes in a grainy black-and-white documentary style similar to Madonna's 'Truth or Dare.' The video is filled with behind-the-scenes footage of Gaga, getting her makeup done, getting styled to do promo ('We should just wear a classic black suit all the time or just nudity,' she remarks as she checks herself in the mirror while wearing a partially see-through black outfit) and approaching a protestor at one of her Monster Ball tour stops.
The protestor, who is at the show handing out 'Get Out of Hell Free' cards, chides Gaga's because of her 'pervert ways.' When she lets him know that she believes in God and even went to Catholic school, he says to her, 'That's probably most of your problem is you got raised in a screwy religion.' Later on we see the singer again in front of a mirror as she comments about the man's seeming intolerance. 'It just makes me sad that my fans have to see that,' she says.
'Judas' will be the second single off Gaga's Born This Way album, which will be released on May 23. Promotion for the record will include a May 27 appearance on 'Good Morning America' that will kick off the show's summer concert series and the May 7 premiere of her highly anticipated HBO special, which was taped at New York's Madison Square Garden in February.
Lady Gaga, Kanye West, Nicki Minaj and their die-hard fans are up for awards at April 28 event. By MTV News staff
The typical awards show is packed with performances, celebrity appearances, red-carpet arrivals and, at some point, the presentations of the night's biggest prize, usually just before the credits roll.
The O Music Awards? Not so much. The first-ever edition of MTV Networks' latest awards extravaganza will take everything you know about awards galas, throw it in a blender, mash it up with an obscure black-and-white cartoon from the 1940s, add a Kanye West beat under it and maybe some adorable LOLcats and a snippet of 'Friday' on top, post it on Twitter and watch it go mega-viral.
Instead of just honoring the singers, songwriters, directors and producers who make our favorite digital-music products, the O Music Awards will dig deeper in such categories as Innovative Music Video, Fan Army FTW, Funniest Music Short, Innovative Artist, Must Follow Artist on Twitter, NSFW Music Video, Most Viral Dance, Best Independent Music Blog, Best Animal Performance, Best Performance Series and more to dig up the people behind your favorite online music and videos, professional, amateur or just plain awesome.
Voting begins Wednesday (April 6) on the O Music Awards website, and like the best viral memes, it will be simple, social and transparent, with fans encouraged to vote via social media through a mobile voting wap site. You can follow the top vote-getters in the categories on a real-time leader board in the run-up to the April 28 event. Performers and presenters will be announced in the coming weeks.
And unlike those other awards shows, the night's biggest trophy might be handed out before the broadcast, during it or even after, to keep the conversation going.
'There will be an event, but it won't be a traditional awards show with a host, audience and a bunch of celebrities,' promised Shannon Connolly, vice president of music strategy for the MTV Music Group. 'It will embody what the O Awards celebrates, which is being very interactive. We'll have live performances, mash-ups, collaborations and it will be a Web event that will take place not just on MTV Music Group sites.'
Lady Gaga and Odd Future's Tyler the Creator lead with three nominations each, followed by Kanye West, the Flaming Lips and Nicki Minaj with two nominations apiece. Additional nominated artists include Arcade Fire, Radiohead, Justin Bieber, Lil B, Wiz Khalifa, Robyn, OK Go, Katy Perry and iamwhoiam. Notable nominees include Antoine Dodson/ Gregory Brothers (Funniest Music Short), the Lonely Island (Funniest Music Short), Funny or Die (Funniest Music Short), 50 Cent, Rebecca Black and Bert (Favorite Animated GIF), the Hype Machine (Best Music Discovery Service), Pandora (Best Music Discovery Service), Tiny Desk Concerts (Best Performance Series), Gorilla vs. Bear (Best Independent Music Blog) and Marshall Jones (Best Music Hack).
Fans will definitely be front and center, with an entire category devoted to the Best Fan Cover, the most rabid online fan following (which will pit 30 Seconds to Mars' Echelon against the Beliebers, Katy Perry's Bandaids, Gaga's Little Monsters and the followers of My Chemical Romance, Nicki Minaj, Tokio Hotel, Wiz Khalifa, Rain and Rihanna). There are also nods to the Best Fan Forum, Best Music Hack and Best Animal Performance.
The Innovative Artist race is a tight one as well, including such nominees as the Flaming Lips, iamwhoiam, Kanye, Gaga, Lil B, Radiohead and Tyler the Creator. You'll have to choose between the Dougie, the Pony, Lil B's Cooking Dance and the 'Whip My Hair' boogie in the Most Viral Dance category.
In keeping with recent digital-music innovations from MTV Networks like MTV Hive and the Music Meter, Connolly said it was apparent that the time was right to create an awards show that moved at the speed of the Net. 'Music consumption has never been greater, and it's hugely important to our audience,' she said. 'We felt like the time was right to look at the convergence of technology and music fans and the YouTube celebrities who've created this new ecosystem where music is exploding.'
Voting starts today for the O Music Awards. Make your voice heard!

" USA FASHION & MUSIC NEWS - DOWNLOAD MUSIC VIDEO LEGALLYIt is being reported by PerezHilton.com that Demi Lovato is being considered for a judging spot on “The X Factor.” This would mean that Demi would distance herself a bit from the Walt Disney Company as the show will air on FOX. However, Demi is still a part of Disney-owned Hollywood Records, and rumor has it she plans on releasing a new album sometime this year. Although, chances are we won’t see any music from Demi until her ex-boyfriend Joe Jonas releases his own solo album from Hollywood Records and has time to promote it.
We think being a judge on “The X Factor” would not only be a great job for Demi, but would probably draw a younger audience to the show. What do you think?

Perhaps it didn't have the opening week that some of her past albums have had, but that doesn't mean that Femme Fatale isn't an ENORMOUS hit for one Miz Britney Spears.
As it was projected, Brit-Brit's latest disk only sold about 278,618 copies in the U.S. It puts Femme Fatale at #1 in its debut week, but it is a far cry from the sales of her last album, Circus. (Over 500K)
This latest rise to #1 has catapulted Britney in the record books on several levels. For one thing, the only other people with more #1 albums than her are Madonna and Celine Dion. If she keeps churning out music, we guarantee she'll beat their records in just a few years.
Furthermore, Britney has had a #1 album in three separate decades and she is the youngest artist to do so. She's also the youngest artist in history to have seven albums debut in the top 2 spots and the ONLY female artist to have 6 albums debut at #1.
In short - BRIT-BRIT IS UNSTOPPABLE!!!!
#1ForBritney!!!
We're so proud of her and all she's been able to accomplish with this album! We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it and we LOVE, LOVE, LOVE her!
Congrats, girl! You're the fiercest of them all!

" USA FASHION & MUSIC NEWS - DOWNLOAD MUSIC VIDEO LEGALLYDevastating news.
A magnitude-7.4 earthquake has hit Japan, and a new tsunami warning has taken effect.
Words cannot properly express how upsetting and disturbing this is.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Japan.
" USA FASHION & MUSIC NEWS - DOWNLOAD MUSIC VIDEO LEGALLYGood! We're glad to hear they can still be friends…or at least that there's no bad blood between them.
It was a wildcat kind of night at the SoHo House in West Hollywood last night as a bunch of Ashley Tisdale's HSM friends came out to support the release of her new movie, Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure - including former lovers Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens.
When we first heard about their reunion, we were skeptical that all was well, especially when the pair obliged to pose with The Tis, but not with each other. Thankfully, we hear that their reunion was 'friendly' and no drama went down between them on their friend's big night. One source reveals:
'Zac and Vanessa definitely seemed comfortable around each other. They didn't seem affectionate or romantic at all, but they were totally relaxed and friendly.'
Another on-looker observed that the two definitely seemed like they were still 'friends,' and added that the whole crew, which included other HSM costars like Lucas Grabeel and Olesya Rulin, 'stayed late' to catch up with one another.
Looks like they can all just get along. Bet that wouldn't have been the case if V-Hudge had brought her new BF, though!

" USA FASHION & MUSIC NEWS - DOWNLOAD MUSIC VIDEO LEGALLYThis is exactly what we were worried about. She just might not be there yet.
Sources close to Britney Spears are reporting that the pop star wants to postpone her Femme Fatale tour this summer, causing her bosses at Sony to go ballastic!
'Britney has told her management that she wants to push back her concert dates because she's not feeling ready. She doesn't feel she has enough time to prepare and has asked management to pull all her dates and postpone everything until later on in the year. She's a perfectionist and wants everything to be better than ever before. She is having to compete with other huge female stars such as RIHANNA and LADY GAGA now so wants to step the show up. Obviously it's gone down like a lead balloon because venues and staff are booked and ready to go. They are trying to talk her round or at least hoping she'll consider going out in September. Either way, there are a lot of meetings going on about how to announce it and handle it. It's a massive headache.'
They continue that plans to start selling the tickets this Saturday have also been scrapped.
Oh boy. And this is why she should have never been pushed out to do this stuff if her heart's just not in it anymore!
As much as we'd love to see a Britney Spears show, we think this might ultimately be for the best. We'd rather have no show at all than a lackluster one that she doesn't even want to do!
Perhaps that Vegas gig might be a better fit, like we recommended!
What do U think?? Should Brit Brit go on tour??
