In an unlikely pairing, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles will be presenting a special performance from the Bolshoi Ballet and Lady Gaga on November 14th. The production is called ‘Ballets Russes Italian Style (The Shortest Musical You Will Never See Again)’. It’s being overseen by renowned Italian performance artist Francesco Vezzoli and finds the dancers choreographed to the pop singer’s inventive music. The performance is also reportedly going to feature the debut of Lady Gaga’s ‘Speechless’ single off of her ‘Fame Monster’ album. That sounds like an epic! And I think that the title of the show suits it. I doubt we ever will see that type of thing again.

British singing legend Morrissey has reportedly been discharged from a UK hospital.

The singer, real name Steven Patrick Morrissey, collapsed with breathing difficulties during a gig in front of 1,000 fans.

He was taken to hospital after being dragged off-stage unconscious and treated by paramedics on-site.

An unidentified spokeswoman for the Great Western Hospital, in Swindon, confirmed that the singer stayed overnight at the hospital.

The incident took place at the Swindon Oasis Leisure Centre, where fans said he looked pale and “winced” before collapsing.

Earlier this year, Morrissey cancelled tour dates for an unspecified illness. He is scheduled to begin a tour in Europe in November, and is to stage nine performances in the US.

Jillian Moody, who was at the gig, said, “He kept putting his hand up to his mouth as if he felt sick or – perhaps he was trying to hide something, but he didn’t look particularly comfortable.”

Between school, recording sessions, and her recent visit to Canada, singer/songwriter/actress Kate Voegele has certainly been busy lately!

Aerosmith lead guitarist Joe Perry said that people can’t expect that their court ordered show in Hawaii in October to be as great as the rest of their concerts due to lead singer Steven Tyler’s injury. The band is obligated to perform though after losing a class action lawsuit due to a 2007 cancelled performance in Maui. Brandee Faria, the ringleader in the lawsuit says that “They know they can’t come out and do a 30-minute gig … because I’ll be there watching.” Mind you, Aerosmith just cancelled their tour back in August because Steven had a nasty fall and injured his shoulder.

Douche bag producer Scott Storch revealed in a recent interview with Details magazine that he only produced Brooke Hogan’s album ‘Undiscovered’ because he felt pressured by the wannabe singer’s wrestler daddy, Hulk Hogan. Scott said “I love Brooke, but I did that s**t because her father was putting all sorts of pressure on me. Sure, it was fun. But the thing is, I didn’t make one good bit of music when I was high on coke. Not one bit.” I guess being high was the only way that he could make it through the day after having to listen to her voice for hours on end.

Michael Jackson is about to double his net worth by the end of the year with earning close to $200 million dollars in 2009. And there are still a couple of months to go before the end of the year! The rise in the funds for the singer’s trust will be a result of the dozens of merchandise ventures of the last few weeks as well as the upcoming film project that was recently approved. A brand new song will also be released to go along with the film. It is also being said that there are about 60 completed recordings that can find its way to new albums down the road. The King of Pop lives on!

Former ‘N Sync boy, Joey Fatone, wants to get out of Florida and has put his remarkable estate up for sale for a cool $5.9million.

The six-bedroom house with eight baths features a home theatre, games room and office and sprawls over 12,000 square feet.

Fatone’s wife, Kelly, shares a master bedroom with him that contains a 53-foot closet and a fireplace. The Fatones’ entire estate which is near Orlando measures 4.3 acres and features a million-dollar swimming pool.

Fatone will soon host the Fatone Family Foundation’s 4th Annual Rock On The Moon & Sing With The Stars Charity Auction on July 30. Proceeds will go toward a music therapy program for children with cancer.

In a recent article, British journalist Alex Blimes launches a couple of hits toward Beth Ditto, her band the Gossip and the entire fashion industry, calling them stupid. He says that the fashion industry’s love for the singer is a transparent ploy to “get the feminazis off their case” and that Beth is “just as bad an example to young women as a girl ten stone lighter than her.” The journalist also commented on the release of the Gossip’s fourth album ‘Music for Men’, calling the band a “deeply average, resolutely unsuccessful rock band.” Does anyone even know who this guy is?

The singer recently admitted that she isn’t as fit as she used to be simply because she doesn’t feel as motivated to go to the gym as she did before having children. Britney Spears said: “I used to be a workout freak but after I had my kids it was a lot harder to get back into that routine. I used to love going to the gym but as you get older and have more responsibilities, you lose that kind of discipline. Even now I have a much harder time getting mentally psyched to train. But once I’m in the gym I start getting into it and I feel great.” So it seems Britney Spears’ problem is more like getting to the gym than actually finding the will to do the exercise. In the case of a person with so many responsibilites, you couldn’t use the term “couch potato”, but since her father seems so bent on controling everything she does, then perhaps one might reconsider.
