Lebanese fans of Lady Gaga will finally be able to purchase her latest album, Born This Way. Lebanon, a conservative country initially banned the album because of one track which was seen to be “offensive to Christians.” Radio networks were also not allowed to play the album. The ban was lifted due to the pressure from fans who claimed they could listen to it over the internet anyway so such moves were pointless. Lady Gaga’s fans are not called Little Monsters for nothing and they really do have a point. Born This Way quickly rose to the charts upon its release in May. It’s probably on its way to topping the Lebanese music charts as well.

If you’re asking who the heck is Rebecca Black…you certainly don’t watch TV enough (good for you). There was no news magazine show that did not feature her viral music video on YouTube in the last two months. She’s the 13 year old girl who was singin’ about “partyin’, partyin” over the weekend.

Supporters of Bachmann are very quick to criticize Palin these days, saying she’s not at all prepared for such a powerful position. Her giving up her governor seat for a career on TV is seen as a sign of weak priorities. It is quite odd however, for neither woman has declared officially their intent to run for president.
