Pop singer to politician: Lady Gaga asks the US senate to end 'don't ask, don't tell' regime

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GG5VK2lquEcendofvid

By Sophie Forbes

Future President: Lady Gaga posted a video clip on her Twitter page today asking the US Senate to abolish the "Don't ask, don't tell' law


Is she planning on running for President?

Lady Gaga used her huge global fan base and resulting public influence to reach out to the United States government yesterday about an issue close to hear heart.

The 24-year-old singer, who on Sunday swept the board at the MTV Video Music Awards taking home eight gongs, recorded a video which she posted on her Twitter asking for the abolition of the 'Don't ask, Don't tell' legislation which forces gay and lesbian servicemen and women to live in secrecy or risk being discharged.

Scroll down to watch the video...


In the seven and a half minute clip, Gaga, dressed in a black suit and tie over a white shirt, sits in front of an American flag and asks her 6 million Twitter followers to urge the US Senate to overturn the 1993 legislation by contacting their local senators personally.

She followed the clip with a tweet professing her love of US Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Nevada) who promptly responded with an invitation to visit him in Las Vegas.

'Since then (1993) 14,000 Americans have been discharged from the armed forces, refused the right to serve their country and sent home regardless of honorable service or how valuable they may have been to their units,' says the singer in the video.


Make a difference: She asked her 'fellow Americans' to help by contacting their local senators directly


'I have called both of the senators that operate in my district. I will not stop calling until I reach them,' she says
'I am here to be a voice for my generation,' she says.

'We are not asking you to agree with or approve the moral implications of homosexuality. We’re asking you to do your job – to protect the constitution.'

'Ultimately the law is being enforced by using gay profiling and gay soldiers have become targets,' Gaga says.

'Not only is the law unconstitutional, but it’s not even being properly or fairly enforced by the government.'

The Bad Romance singer actually brought four solders with her to the MTV Video Music Awards who had been discharged under this law or voluntarily left due to negative pressures and was escorted down the red carpet by them.

On the night she won 8 out of the 9 awards she was nominated for.

Michael J Fox proves he's still laughing in the face of Parkinson's disease as he hams it up for new calendar

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOVu3dbJ1g8endofvid

By Daily Mail Reporter

Fancy a drink? Michael J Fox has to sit on a bar to be the same height as supermodel Tatjana Patitz in shots for a calendar for the German optical company Carl Zeiss


At 5ft 4in, Michael J Fox hasn't always stood eye to eye with his co-stars.
And the comic actor clearly enjoyed having a laugh at his diminutive status in a new photoshoot.

The Back To The Future star hammed it up with 5ft 11in German supermodel Tatjana Patitz for the set of pictures for a new exclusive calendar for German optical company Carl Zeiss AG.

The pictures were taken by Canadian singer-turned-photographer Bryan Adams, and showed Fox and Patitz in a variety of comical poses.

'The photographs were intended to be cheerful and sexy representations of how Zeiss lenses expertly capture any subject matter, large and small,' says producer Trixi Mahd Soltani.

One shot shows Fox sitting on a Manhattan's Cipriani bar to be the same height as his statuesque counterpart, while another shows him scoffing a big plate of spaghetti at a table while Patitz picks at a salad.

'We had to rush in and out to do our shoot in the morning, before they opened for business at 10am,' recalls Soltani.



Pasta joke: The diminutive star scoffs a large plate of spaghetti while his taller dinner date picks over a salad


Walkies: Fox is taken for a walk by a Great Dane while Patitz is untroubled by her little pug


But the spaghetti wasn't too appetising for Fox.

'I don't think Michael was up to actually eating it that early in the morning,' adds Soltani.

Another snap shows the Family Ties actor being taken for a walk by a Great Dane dog, while Patitz has no trouble with her smaller pug.

Fox and Patitz both immediately agreed to be part of the project, with New York City selected as the location for its sense of micro/macro - near/far variety.


Little and large: Fox needs to stand on a bench to reach the heights of his model counterpart

At one point, Patitz, 44, is seen towering above 49-year-old Fox in seven-inch platform stilettos as he bends down to tie his shoelaces.

And in another shot, the actor's head is barely seen above a limousine's sun roof while the model, wearing sunglasses, has a good view of the city scape.

Fox, who will this year be a guest star in Larry David comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm, is also seen attempting to dance with the model.

The Carl Zeiss Art-Calendar 2011, which will be unveiled at a special showing in Hamburg next month, will be printed in an edition of 1,000 photographs for the company's top clients.

Sealed with a kiss: Orlando Bloom gives his new wife Miranda Kerr a kiss and a cuddle on the set of his new Three Musketeers film


He is busy filming in Germany while his pregnant wife has been furthering her modelling career in Los Angeles.

So newlyweds Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr were clearly delighted to see each other as she visited the 33-year-old actor on set yesterday.

Bloom, who was clad in his 17th century costume for the Three Musketeers film, only had eyes for his young wife on the set in Wuerzburg, Germany.

The smiling pair hugged and kissed in a break from shooting, with Bloom at one point whispering into Kerr's ear.

Bloom expressed his happiness at the baby news during a Munich photo call for the movie back in August.

'I'm really excited about it, it's great,' he said, referring to the fact that he could be away for much of Kerr's pregnancy. 'I'll go home as often as possible. She'll come out here too.'
