Is that outfit suitable for yoga? Lady Gaga heads to Taiwanese fitness studio in lace cat suit

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Appropriate attire? Lady Gaga headed to a yoga studio in Taiwan wearing a lace cat suit while holding her mat


We’re used to seeing Lady Gaga strutting around in whacky outfits on and off stage but you’d think she might change into something more appropriate for yoga.

Gaga didn’t seem to think that was necessary though and headed to a yoga studio in Taiwan dressed in a lace cat suit, her trademark chunky heels and scarlet red lipstick as she held onto her mat.

Her yoga class came the day before her concert, which will kick off tonight in Taipei as part of her five-day visit to the island.

But instead of being a relaxing day out for the Poker Face singer, she was surrounded by hundreds of fans as she left the building.

Her bodyguards had to clear the way for Gaga to get through but her ‘little monsters’ even gathered outside her hotel to try and catch a glimpse of of their idol.



Fan frenzy: Gaga was mobbed by fans as she tried to leave the yoga studio in Taipei


The 25-year-old arrived in the country on Friday night by private jet and headed to the Regent Taipei hotel, where she has been staying.

Two fans camped outside the hotel all night to try and meet Gaga in person, while others dressed up as their idol to prepare for a ‘Lady Gaga Day’ fashion show today ahead of her concert tonight in Taichung.

Gaga was on her way to Greater Taichung, where a series of events will take place before her concert kicks off.

The city government is throwing a welcome party, for which thousands of fans are expected to show up.

The singer’s visit is part of her promotional tour for her new album Born This Way.


Making a getaway: The BornThis Way star quickly dashed through the crowd into a car


She had spent most of last week in Japan and this is her first time to Taiwan.

Following her visit to Japan, Lady Gaga tweeted this morning: ‘We won 3 MTV Video Japan Awards Monsters!

‘All 3 for Born This Way: Video of the Year, Best Dance Video, Best Female Video. Ah I’m so happy!’

Welcome party: The city government is throwing a welcome party, which thousands of fans are expected to show up for


She then added: ‘Nick Jonas singing The Edge of Glory. On my way to press conference in Taichung, listening to it. So dreamy!’

Meanwhile, Gaga has been voted the Queen of Pop by Rolling Stone magazine, due to record sales, views on YouTube, social media mentions, critics reviews and revenue from live shows.

Beyonce 'fros some moves in identical yellow and black crochet dresses for Good Morning America performance

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Lively turn: Beyonce took to the stage for an appearance on Good Morning America today to promote her fourth studio album, '4'


R&B diva Beyonce rocked Central Park as part of Good Morning America's Summer Concert Series.

The superstar bought her signature fierce style to New York in a bright yellow crochet mini-dress and glittering gold stilettos, belting out a series of tracks from her new album '4'.

Midway through the set the singer emerged in an identical black version of the dress, which showed off her newly-svelte figure to perfection.

Beyonce admitted that she 'owns the word diva..but only if used in the right way' and told how she's recently enjoyed a travel break to appreciate 15 years of non-stop hard work.


Mixing it up: She wore a yellow crotchet mini-dress before changing into an identical black one midway through the performance


'I really took time to get to know myself and I've learned how to appreciate everything I've worked hard for,' she said. It's hard to see when you're moving around so fast.

'I realise the impact I've had on so many people and what a blessing it is to be able to touch so many people.'

Asked how she manages to strut her stuff onstage wearing towering heels, she admitted that her fashion choices take their toll.



She's got the moves: Beyonce's huge hair performed along with her as she jiggled around to the music


'Oh my God, sometimes my feet are numb, sometimes they bleed...it's just like a ballet dancer,' she told crowds.

'Usually I'm so focused on the stage and my connection with the audience that I don't feel my feet until I get home.'

The 29-year-old entertainer, who is married to rap mogul Jay-Z, climbed atop a piano to sing a ballad after her high-energy routine to Run The World (Girls).

Fans sang along to her new track Best Thing I Never Had, encouraged by Beyonce to 'sing it to your ex!'


Movie star: Beyonce revealed she is starring in a remake of A Star Is Born, directed by Clint Eastwood


The scantily dressed star, who is sporting a bushy Tina Turner-style hairdo, finished off the concert with her smash hit Single Ladies.

During an interview with presenter Robin Roberts, she revealed she's starring in a remake of A Star Is Born, directed by Clint Eastwood.

'I can't believe it still,' she said. 'I'm so, so honoured that he believes in me. I can't wait to do this film.

'I represent this generation's talent and for me to be the chosen person as an African American woman is incredible.'

Roberts gushed how Beyonce empowers women. 'That's my message,' said Beyonce, who recently headlined Glastonbury.

'I try to write and sing songs that I think we as women need to hear.'

Now THAT'S a beehive: Lady Gaga gets Taiwan in a buzz with her latest wacky hairstyle

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Now that's a beehive: Lady Gaga arrives with a two-tone black and blonde hairstyle as she arrives at Taipei International Airport in Taiwan last night


We're used to using the word 'beehive' to described a backcombed hairstyle.

But in Lady Gaga's case, her latest hairstyle looked like an actual beehive as she jetted into Taiwan yesterday.

There was no missing the flamboyant singer as she arrived in Taipei International Airport via private jet last night.

The Born This Way star was wearing a cone-shaped bun of black and blonde hair on top of her long wig.

But rather unusually for Gaga, her outfit looked rather demure than usual as she walked along in a monochrome dress and black tights.

After spending most of last week in Japan, the 25-year-old jetted to Taiwan on Friday night.


Hair-raising: The singer shows off her two-tone beehive as she blows a kiss at the airport


Despite her well-publicised arrival, Gaga managed to sneak into her suite at the Regent Taipei hotel, disappointing her fans waiting outside.

But after finding out how upset they were, she made an appearance at the window of her room on the 19th floor, to the delight of her devotees below.

The New Yorker is on her first ever trip to Taiwan, a five-day promotional tour for her new album Born This Way.


Demure: Instead of her usual flesh-baring outfits, Gaga covered up in a monochrome dress and black tights


On Sunday, she is due to perform in Taichung City, where officials have named it 'Lady Gaga day' in honour of her first Taiwan visit.

Meanwhile, Gaga has been voted the Queen of Pop by Rolling Stone magazine.

The singer was voted over her female contemporaries because of her record sales, views on YouTube, social media mentions, critics reviews and revenue from live shows.


Hello Little Monsters! Gaga waves to fans from the 19th floor of her hotel


We want Gaga! Fans were disappointed when the singer entered the hotel without them seeing her


Coming behind her in second place was country singer Taylor Swift and Rihanna at three.

The magazine said: 'No matter how we cut the numbers, GaGa was bound to crush the competition. Our goal here was to crown the current tiara-wearer. The hard-working, culture-dominating GaGa more than earned the title.

'Maybe a year from now, after [Beyoncé's new album] 4 has spun off a year of radio, digital and video hits, Lady G and Honey B will be more evenly matched, tugging on either end of the Queen of Pop sceptre like the demigods they are.'

Looking ace: Pippa Middleton causes a stir on Wimbledon's Centre Court yet again

By TED THORNHILL

Shady character: Pippa sported a pair of huge sunglasses


Pippa Middleton wasn’t about to let her sister Kate steal all the limelight.

While the Duchess of Cambridge was causing a huge buzz on a royal visit to Canada, Pippa turned heads at Wimbledon when she descended on Centre Court again, this time to watch the men’s semi-finals.

Intriguingly, she wasn’t with her boyfriend Alex Loudon, who she took to SW19 on Wednesday. This time the 27-year-old was accompanied by former flame George Percy.


Where's Alex? Today Pippa took ex-boyfriend George Percy (right) with her to Centre Court


There has been some speculation recently that their romance has been rekindled, especially since the pair jetted off to Madrid earlier this month and were spotted together at the Queen's tournament.

George Percy is Earl Percy, heir to one of the richest and grandest dukedoms in the land, the Duchy of Northumberland.

The ancient pile he will inherit, Alnwick Castle in Northumberland, is home to Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films, is known as the ‘Windsor of the North’ and the family are regarded locally in Border country as their royalty.


Rear we go: Britain's most famous behind


Smiles better: In contrast to the spectators around her, Pippa is beaming as she watches the action


Hot stuff: Pippa looks as elegant as ever in her Tania dress


Pippa is also a kind of royalty - Her Royal Hotness. And today she swapped the sizzling fitted red number from the Hobbs NW3 range that she wore on Wednesday for a sizzling knitted black number by Tania, a trendy brown handbag and a large pair of sunglasses.

Pippa was clearly in a great mood, and was all smiles as she first watched Novak Djokovic's clash with Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and then Andy Murray’s showdown with Rafael Nadal.

If only Andy Murray’s game had been as smashing as Pippa’s ensemble.

Meanwhile, her sister, the Duchess of Cambridge is wowing the Canadians with her own eye-catching outfits.

Wearing the same white Reiss dress that she wore for her official engagement photograph and a red maple-leaf-themed hat, half a million Canadians lined the streets of Ottawa to greet her and husband William today for an official Canada Day show.

Hundreds, if not thousands of miles - just to catch a glimpse of the glamorous newly-weds in temperatures of more than 90F.

Katy Perry shows off her new accidental 'ginger' hairstyle as she launches her perfume

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER


Purr-ty: Katy Perry shows off her new ginger hair style as she launches her new fragrance in Toronto, Canada


Even though she looked flawless as she greeted fans at her perfume launch last night Katy Perry was well aware that she didn't appear quite right.

Because the singer was sporting a new accidental hair colour.

The 26-year-old songstress debuted a striking strawberry blonde hue to her hair, which for a long time has been dyed jet black, as she introduced her fragrance Purr at Sears in Toronto, Canada.


Lightening up: Katy is in the process of changing her hair to blonde from jet black


'On my way to launch PURR in TORONTO! FINALLY CA has PURR avail to them! she wrote on her Twitter page earlier in the day.

'P.s. If u see a ginger haired girl that looks like me, it's me! #yay.'

Katy, who is a natural blonde, has spent years maintaining her hair as a dark brunette, even dying her eyebrows and eyelashes to match.


Patience: The singer has to wait three weeks to lighten her locks further otherwise her hair could break off


If you see a ginger girl it's me! The singer told fans to look out for her
But in order to take her hair back to blonde the I Kissed A Girl singer had to complete the process in two stages.


So just over a week ago she had her hair dyed this dark red-blonde colour.

'So I didn't get to the exact color (sic) I wanted from being black for so long! she explained to her fans on Twitter.


Promo duties: Katy took part in a Q&A session with her Canadian fans


'2get to goal I have 2b GINGER for 3WKS,' before explaining: 'If I don't wait 3wks, I'll end up w/no hair or a #pixie90scutw/abarretteinthefront It's okay, I'll get to my secret color(s) soon! #patience'

Katy is currently in the middle of her California Dreams tour which sees her performing tonight in Toronto before heading to Montreal and Ottawa next week.

From teen queen to fashionista: Emma Watson goes all grown-up in glossy magazine shoot

By EMILY SHERIDAN


Ethereal: Emma Watson strikes a pose in an earthy shoot for the new August issue of the UK edition of Harper's Bazaar


In the run-up to the world premiere of the final Harry Potter film, Emma Watson had been reaching her target audience with a string of interviews with teenage magazines.

But as she prepares to make the move from child actor to adult film star after closing the book on her Potter character Hermione, it looks like the actress is determined to show her grown-up side.

The 21-year-old is dripping in the latest designer creations from the likes of Yves Saint Laurent to Emilio Pucci in the new issue of Harper's Bazaar UK.

In contrasting images, a fair-haired Watson poses in a field of wild flowers wearing white couture, while in other shoots her hair appears



Well heeled: Watson strikes a vampy pose as she models a sheer black panelled dress


As well as modelling some key looks from the upcoming autumn/winter collection from some of the world's top fashion houses, Watson also opens up on why really she left America's Brown University.

She tells the August issue of the magazine: 'Leaving Brown had nothing to do with bullying, as the media have been suggesting recently.

'I have never been bullied in my life. Like a lot of other students at Brown, I might spend my third year abroad.'

Although Watson is still musing over where to complete her studies, it appears her native England is unlikely to be an option.



The full interview is in the August issue of Harper¿s Bazaar UK, on sale Thursday, 7th July



When asked why she didn't originally chose an English university, Watson explained: 'I felt suddenly very claustrophobic...I thought, "I can’t stay here, I won’t be able to concentrate, I won’t be left alone."'

Since enrolling at university, Watson has been taking acting classes and admitted she was struggling to unleash her inner bad girl.


She said: 'My acting tutor said the hardest thing for me was to get angry. I almost broke down in tears when they tried to get me to be angry. I said, "I can’t do it, I just can’t do it."

'I keep all of that really bottled up somewhere and I feel unleashing it would be the scariest thing – and to let myself be powerful, sexy, all those things, it’s scary for me. [Even playing the bad girl in this shoot] felt a bit uncomfortable and awkward, it didn’t come naturally at all.'



Country girl: Watson models a stunning asymmetrical dress as she walks through a field

While Watson is hoping to continue her acting career, she admits she finds Hollywood petrifying.

She admitted: 'LA scares the c**p out of me.

'I feel if I have to work out four hours a day, and count the calories of everything I put in my mouth, and have Botox at 22, and obsess about how I look the whole time, I will go mad, I will absolutely lose it.'

Watson is scheduled to attend the world premiere of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part II in London's Trafalgar Square next Thursday.

The full interview is in the August issue of Harper’s Bazaar UK, on sale Thursday, 7th July. For more information visit www.harpersbazaar.co.uk.

It's Gagapanda! Lady Gaga tries out an animal new look on Japanese TV... but did she think she was in China?

Gagapanda: Lady Gaga tries out a new style on Japanese TV yesterday


When visiting a foreign country it is of course polite to pay tribute to their culture.

But, despite naming Japan as one of her favourite places, Lady Gaga may have mixed up their native animals.

The singer appeared on Japanese television dressed as a panda - native animal of China.

Whether she thought she was paying tribute to Japan, or whether the 25-year-old just had a whim to become 'Gagapanda' is unclear.

The Born This Way singer arrived on the show in a black and white outfit with her hair in two buns and wearing sunglasses.

She kept the glasses on a for a minute to build suspense as the hosts complimented her on her outlandish ensemble, before dramatically removing them to reveal her heavy black eye make-up.


Animal instinct: The singer said she 'likes pandas and has been eating a lot of bamboo this week' as explanation for her outfit


'I really like pandas,' she declared. 'Pandas have paws, and I always tell my fans to put their paws up. I've been eating a lot of bamboo this week.'

Later in the program Gaga listed 'one day having panda babies' as one of her dreams.
She has also started referring to herself as Gagapanda on Twitter.

With the help of a translator, the hitmaker answered a round of questions from the excitable presenters, about her love of cooking, keeping her clothes after she wears them, and her fears (missing her family).


'You know pandas are Chinese right?' Gaga chats with the talk show presenters


While in Japan Gaga has slammed the claims that she profited from wristbands she sold through her website to aid tsunami victims in the country.

After raising money for the survivors of the earthquake by selling $5 wristbands, the singer faces a lawsuit over claims that she added an unnecessary sales tax and a $3.99 shipping charge to the red and white 'We Pray for Japan' bracelets.

But an spokesman for the star, who is currently touring Japan, today labelled the lawsuit 'misguided.'


Fighting back: The 25-year-old has slammed the claims that she profited from the sales of her charity wristbands to aid Japanese tsunami victims


'This misguided lawsuit is without merit and unfortunately takes attention away from the kind deeds of the fans around the world who are supporting the people of Japan,' said the singer's spokesman Holly Shakoor.

'The entire five dollar donation made with the purchase of each bracelet is going to support the disaster relief,' she added. 'No profit is being made on shipping costs. Sales tax charges were made in accordance with local legal requirements.

'Lady Gaga has personally pledged her own funds to this cause and continues to support the victims of the disaster.'


Hurtful: Gaga's representatives have said the lawsuit launched against her over the claims is 'without merit'


Gaga has been sued under her real name of Stefani Germanotta under charges normally used to fight racketeering.

Live Nation Merchandising, Universal Music and a number of Gaga’s business ventures have also been named too.

The lawsuit, filed at the U.S Federal Court in Detroit, states that they all used a ‘deceptive advertising campaign’ and a ‘pattern of racketeering’ to persuade the public to buy the wristband from Gaga’s official website.

The court papers state they ‘misrepresented to individuals and to the public at large...that ‘all proceeds’ derived from the wristbands would be donated to the (Japan) Relief Effort’.

Mock me all you like but leave my disabled son alone: Katie Price's heartfelt denunciation of Frankie Boyle's vile slur and the TV bosses who defended

By KATIE PRICE

Devoted: Katie Price with her son Harvey, who recently turned nine, says she would never swap him for an able-bodied child


My son, Harvey, turned nine last month, and we held a little party to celebrate.

The only guests were immediate family — too much activity causes Harvey stress and his behaviour can become disruptive — but he did have a big cake decorated with a picture of a frog.

Harvey loves cakes. He always enjoys blowing out the candles, and he adores frogs. They are his latest obsession. He draws them so carefully — the bulging eyes, the long back legs — and colours them in bright green.



Relentless: A scene from Katie: Standing Up For Harvey, shows the glamour model cradling her son Harvey


At the moment, every scrap of paper in the house is covered in leaping frogs.

The cake and the frog obsession explain a lot about Harvey. Most mothers of nine-year-olds might boast that their child is learning French or the violin. I’m just pleased and proud that Harvey can draw, observe and see colours.

Soon after he was born, I was told he had a serious problem with his sight. Later, I learned that he was blind. Actually, he has some residual vision, and he is brilliant at using it.

He recognises colours and shapes. He has even learned to turn them into pictures.


Vile slur: Frankie Boyle made comments about Katie's son Harvey on his Channel 4 show Tramadol Nights


He draws the same things obsessively, over and over again. First it was aeroplanes, then rainbows, now it’s frogs. That’s down to his autism. Like most children with the condition, he periodically gets fixated on one subject.

He is also compulsive about routines. Nothing must disturb Harvey’s ordered world, or there is hell to pay.

The cake is another matter. Harvey eats and eats, and if I did not stop him he would do so continually. He is prone to weight-gain, but he is not greedy.


The daddy: Former football Dwight Yorke, left, is Harvey's father. Harvey, right as a toddler, was born in 2002 in Brighton


He has a clinical condition — I’ll come to that later — which means he can’t control his appetite. The hormones that control his growth are also out of kilter. So he is bigger than most kids. But to the ignorant, Harvey is just a big, fat, blind kid — and he has been called that many times.

I’ve only skimmed the surface of the problems facing my much-loved eldest child, but by now you know enough about Harvey’s disabilities to understand the hurdles he leaps each day.

So you will understand the extent of my shock and anger when I learned that Frankie Boyle, the comedian — though he barely deserves the title — had singled my son out to be the butt of a vile ‘joke’.


Katie rubs some cream into her son's leg as he sits in his bed before sleeping. She calls looking after Harvey 'relentless'


To convey the full impact of what Boyle said on his Channel 4 ‘comedy’ show last December, I must, I’m afraid, repeat his offensive remarks in full.

To begin with, he said my ex-husband, Peter Andre, and I had been fighting over custody of Harvey. ‘Eventually one of them will lose and have to keep him,’ Boyle said.

That is the type of cruel offence we expect disabled people to accept. If you are disabled, you are a burden, and people want rid of you.

Then Boyle made a remark so offensive it has no place in civilised society.

Referring to my second marriage, to Alex Reid — we have since separated — he said: ‘I have a theory about the reason Jordan married a cage-fighter — she needed a man strong enough to stop Harvey from f***ing her.’

I can’t overstate the outrage and revulsion I felt when I heard this attack on my vulnerable, disabled son. I am used to defending myself against insults and, at times, justified criticism.


Happier times: Katie Price with her husband Peter Andre, with whom she had two children, Junior and Princess


I don’t deny there are aspects of my own life and past that have been controversial. I’ve made mistakes in equal measure to my success, but I can answer back — and I do. Harvey can’t.

Boyle’s remark is vile on so many levels. Sadly, I’ve grown used to insensitive jokes about Harvey’s size. When Heat magazine published a sticker with the words ‘Harvey wants to eat me!’ across it, I was appalled.

But at least the magazine apologised. Boyle and Channel 4 have done neither. Boyle’s disgusting suggestion slandered my innocent son and insulted every disabled person in Britain.


Care: Katie soothes Harvey while she has her hair done in a still from tonight's programme


Imagine if the reason Boyle gave for saying Harvey was capable of raping me was not because of his disability but because he is black. People would understand how discriminatory that is. It is just as discriminatory when the joke is based on someone’s disability.

That is why I have decided to talk openly, and in detail, about Harvey for the first time.

Tonight my television documentary about him, Katie: Standing Up For Harvey, introduces viewers to my campaign on behalf of every disabled child and adult in Britain.

I hope that, through the programme, Harvey’s disabilities will highlight the difficulties — and also the positives — faced by children with disabilities, and their families.


Katie: Standing Up For Harvey is on Sky Living tonight at 9pm.
