How far will Lady Gaga go on Superbowl Sunday?

After all of the hope and praying for an objectively superior Superbowl LI performance by Adele (or Taylor Swift, or whoever), it was announced back in September 2016 that Lady Gaga would be taking the field for the Halftime Show; or, more accurately, the taking the fucking roof.

I Lost Interest in Music in 2009: Billboard’s Top 25

I used to like music. Really. I tried to follow all of the newest up-and-coming bands, went to concerts regularly, attempted to stay on top of what music was getting popular. Now I don't give a shit anymore...and here's why. There is a wonderful quote from Kanye West in which he proclaims himself the voice…

Perez Hilton Freak Out: Transcript
