Kelsey Bennett Tuesday was legendary crooner Tony Bennett's 95th birthday, and he celebrated it onstage with his good friend Lady Gaga at New York's famed Radio City Music Hall. According to Showbiz 411, Gaga opened the show by performing for an hour, singing classic songs like "Luck Be a Lady" from Guys & Dolls and the 1959 Dinah Washington song “What a Diff'rence a Day Makes,” which she dedicated to front-line healthcare workers. As USA Today reports, during her set, Gaga also announced to the crowd that she plans to be cremated, and went into the audience to serenade her sister, Natalie, with "La Vie En Rose," which Gaga famously sang in A Star Is Born.

Billie Eilish kicks it back to the ’70s for acoustic “Male Fantasy” live performance

Courtest of VEVO Billie Eilish performed a raw, yet elegant rendition of her song "Male Fantasy" in a new VEVO Live video. This marks the first time Eilish, 19, has performed the emotional closing single off her new album Happier Than Ever, which arrived last week. Assisted by her brother FINNEAS on guitar, Eilish delivered the somber rendition of the track while sitting at the edge of a bed. The footage of the live performance was grainy, reportedly shot using 35mm film, which matched the retro '70s era hotel room setup -- from the velvet drapes to the winged white lamp -- which accessorized the lovelorn video. "Male Fantasy" is an intimate song that explores one of Eilish's devastating heartbreaks and how she mourns what the relationship could have become while pretending she's okay with being single. It includes the turbulent lyrics, "But I loved you then, and I love you now/ And I don't know how/ Guess it's hard to know when nobody else comes around/ ..

Selena Gomez calls out ‘The Good Fight”s “tasteless” joke about her kidney transplant

Tibrina Hobson/Getty Images Selena Gomez said she's disappointed that yet another television show mocked her kidney transplant. Paramount+'s The Good Fight found itself in hot water when a recent episode contained a scene where several characters bemoaned cancel culture and said people now "need a permission slip to tell a joke." When the characters discuss what jokes are definitely considered off-limits, Ifádansi Rashad's Jim queries if "Selena Gomez's kidney transplant" makes the cut. Other topics floated by other characters include autism and necrophilia. "I am not sure how writing jokes about organ transplants for television shows has become a thing but sadly it has apparently," Selena said Tuesday on Twitter. "I hope in the next writer’s room when one of these tasteless jokes are presented it’s called out immediately and doesn’t make it on air." The "Lose You to Love Me" singer also shouted out her fans for "always [having] my back" in a follow-up post, a..

Simone Biles shares sweet Twitter exchange with Taylor Swift following Bronze medal win

Jamie Squire/Getty Images After Simone Biles took home the bronze medal in the individual balance beam competition at the Tokyo Olympics, she celebrated with none other than pop star Taylor Swift. Biles, who previously withdrew from several gymnastic events due to mental health reasons, reacted to the meaningful video Swift voiced in support of her return to the Games. Taylor calls the gymnast a "hero" in the promo that was aired on NBC and lauded her decision to put her mental health first, saying it sets a great example for generations to come. "She's perfectly human," the Grammy winner expressed in the emotional clip. "And that's why it makes it so easy to call her a hero." Biles retweeted the video and revealed just how much Swift's words meant to her. "I'm crying," she gushed. "How special. I love you @taylorswift13." Taylor was quick to reach out to the gymnast and let her know that she wasn't the only one shedding a few happy tears that evening. ..

Normani admits she was “so terrified” to play “Wild Side” for her dad

Greg Swales To say that Normani's new single, "Wild Side," is racy is an understatement, so it's easy to see why the singer's now admitting she was "so terrified" to play the song for her father. Speaking to Ebro Darden on Apple Music 1, Normani says, "You have no idea. I was so terrified...oh my goodness….[I was] avoiding it, he kept asking to hear the record because everyone else heard it but he didn’t hear it. And my dad is my biggest fan." "He works nightshifts," Normani explains. "He hustles for his family and so to get through the night sometimes he listens to all my records and he was dying to listen to this one and I was just like, 'Dad, um… I’ll play it for you later.'" But eventually, Normani says, her mom played the track for him -- and the reaction wasn't what she expected. "He was like, 'that s**t is hard,'" Normani reveals, laughing. "He’s like, 'That s**t is fire,' and he told me all the time, ever single day, I kid ..
