Graeme Aitken looks at Lady Gaga, Bieber's Valentine's and Arnold Schwarzenegger in a celebrity round up!
Lady Gaga’s long awaited new single ‘Born This Way’ was released on Friday, Two days later the song had amassed 5 million YouTube hits. Britney Spears' new single ‘Hold It Against Me’ achieved 7 million YouTube hits in a month. No comparison really.
Justin Bieber revealed this week that he misses a ‘normal’ life. He is quoted by the Daily Star as saying: "I miss being able to just like go home and just relax and be with my family, and not do anything for a while.” Bieber also revealed that he’d be spending Valentine’s Day with his Mum. Cute.
Jedward have announced they will represent Ireland in Eurovision after a public vote this week. They will perform the song ‘Lipstick’ at the event in Düsseldorf this May. Boy-band Blue will represent the United Kingdom with their song ‘I Can’, even though they probably can’t.
Beyonce will headline Glastonbury this year. The singer will dawn her alter ego -‘Sasha Fierce’ - and take to the main stage along with other confirmed acts including Coldplay and U2.
In the most unlikely of all musical partnerships, Cee-Lo Green and Gwyneth Paltrow will perform at the Grammies next week. It is undecided as to what the pair will sing.
Mega star Rihanna has been left fuming after Brit Award bosses ordered her to tone down her performance for new track ‘S&M’. It’s been a bad week for RI-RI after it was revealed OFCOM received over 4000 complaints from her December performance on the X-Factor. Time for Rihanna to cover up, it seems!
On a slightly colder note, Dancing on ice judge Jason Gardner faced a public backlash this week after his comments to ex-panellist Karen Barber. Gardner snapped at Karen after a comment she made about his judging of non-celebrity contestant Johnson Beharry. He said: "If your opinion still mattered you would be on the panel." It seems Jason’s comments have landed him in the bad books with Karen, the Dancing on Ice cast, crew and viewers.
And finally, body builder turned actor turned politician Arnold Schwarzenegger revealed he will be making a ‘come back’ in the land of film! He said on Twitter: "Exciting news, my friends have been asking me for seven years when they can take offers seriously. Gave them the green light today." GO Arny!!
