Activists ask Lady Gaga to pose in lettuce dress

MUMBAI (Reuters) - First, Lady Gaga wore a dress made of meat. Now, how about one made of lettuce?

Indian animal rights activists have asked pop star Lady Gaga to pose in a lettuce dress and embrace vegetarianism during her visit to India this weekend, where she will be part of the star-studded unveiling of the country's first Formula 1 race.

Lady Gaga, who famously wore a meat dress at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, will be performing at an invitation-only show in a five-star hotel in New Delhi after the race on Sunday.

In a letter to the singer's publicist, PETA India said it hoped she would honor India's reverence for animals by turning vegetarian for the duration of her visit and posing for photos in a lettuce gown to promote the importance of not eating meat.

"If she agrees, we'll make her a dress entirely of lettuce and held together by pins and threads. It will be a full length gown, and we'll make sure it looks sexy," said Sachin Bangera of PETA India.

The dress would be constructed leaf by leaf on the singer's body, taking some five to six hours.

"Someone will be on hand to spray the lettuce with water so that it doesn't wilt," Bangera added.

Earlier this year, in an interview with Indian chat show host Simi Garewal, Lady Gaga said she would like to soak up the local culture by taking an Indian cooking class.

Excitement has been bubbling all week about the country's first Formula 1 Grand Prix, which is seen as a symbol of India's growing global clout while also highlighting its enormous disparities in wealth.

Lionel Richie going country with duets album

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Hello! Lionel Richie is going country.

The smooth R&B singer will take to the Country Music Association awards stage next month to perform some of the duets from his upcoming album "Tuskegee" -- named after his Alabama birthplace, organizers said on Wednesday.

Richie, 62, best known for romantic ballads like "Three Times a Lady" and "Endless Love", will sing a country version of his hit song "Dancing on the Ceiling" with Rascal Flatts at televised annual CMA awards show on November 9.

The "Tuskegee" album, due out in March 2012, will feature 13 duets of his biggest hits, including "My Love" with Kenny Chesney, "Easy" with Willie Nelson and "Hello" with Jennifer Nettles.

Richie said the album was a return to his country roots.

"I was born and raised in Tuskegee, Alabama. I am a country boy and proud of it. To do this project just felt natural," the singer-songwriter said in a statement.

Richie has earned five Grammys, an Oscar, and has had more than 20 top 10 hits in a career that started with Motown Records more than 40 years ago.

The "Tuskegee" album is the latest in a series of recordings that have teamed older artists with younger singers, including crooner Tony Bennett's recent chart-topping "Duets II" release which included collaborations with Lady Gaga and the late Amy Winehouse.

Adele's "21" regains top spot on Billboard chart

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - British singer Adele regained the top spot on the Billboard Top 200 album chart on Wednesday, marking her 13th week at No. 1 with "21" and making it the first album since the "Titanic" film soundtrack to claim as many weeks atop the chart.

"21" sold 106,000 copies to pass the 4 million sales mark last week, according to figures from Nielsen SoundScan. It is the biggest selling album of 2011 so far, with Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" far behind with 1.9 million sales.

The singer plans to follow-up "21" with a live CD and DVD release on November 29 that taped from a performance at London's Royal Albert Hall, according to a posting on her website.

Adele's return to the top spot prevented Christian rock group Casting Crowns from earning their first No. 1 with "Come to the Well," which sold 99,000 copies in its first week of release and came second on the album charts.

"American Idol" winner Scotty McCreery's former No. 1 album "Clear As Day" rose from fourth to third place, while last week's chart-toppers, Gothic rockers Evanescence fell to fifth with their latest self-titled album.

The top 10 albums for the week also include Tony Bennett's "Duets II" at No. 5, Lil Wayne's "Tha Carter IV" at No. 6, R&B singer Joe at No. 8 with 'The Good, The Bad, The Sexy," and Lauren Alaina's "Wildflower" in tenth place.

Next week's album charts are expected to be shaken up with new releases from Kelly Clarkson, Michael Buble and Coldplay,

Steven Tyler says was sober in hotel room fall

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler said on Thursday he was sober when he fell in the shower in his Paraguay hotel room earlier this week.

Tyler, who received stitches to his face and broke his teeth in the fall on Tuesday, told NBC's "Today" show that he was suffering from "Montezuma's revenge," or stomach flu.

"I passed out," the rocker and "American Idol" judge told Matt Lauer in a telephone interview from Argentina, where he is continuing an Aerosmith tour.

"I was in the shower and I got nauseous, and I started to get sick and I fell on my face. I just passed out," he said.

Tyler, 63, said he "woke up with the water running on me wondering where the hell I was," at which point his tour manager phoned the American embassy for help with a hospital.

Asked whether he might have fallen off the wagon, the rocker, who has been public about struggles with substance abuse, said "people thinking that is natural and normal."

But Tyler said he had flown last night from Paraguay and had just arrived in Argentina hours earlier.

"And if anybody knew anybody that used substances, they wouldn't be up the hour after having a talk with Matt Lauer."

Asked flat out whether being "clean and sober" was the issue in the fall, Tyler replied "No, it's not the issue."

But he added "I get that people think that."

Tyler said his injuries would not affect the tour, noting that he went on stage on Wednesday and "pulled myself up by my boot heels."

He said he wore dark glasses for the first song, then took them off to show his battered-looking face, and the crowd roared its approval.

"Not only did I break my face, but the next night we broke the house record," he quipped.

Two years ago, Tyler broke his shoulder after falling off the stage during a U.S. concert, forcing the group to scrap the rest of its North American tour and aggravating tensions within the band.

Tyler has signed up for a second season as a judge on the TV singing contest "American Idol," and he published a tell-all memoir this year called "Does this Noise in My Head Bother You?"

Marie Osmond suffers vocal scare in Las Vegas

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Singer Marie Osmond was rushed to a hospital in Las Vegas with concerns about her voice following a show with her brother Donny, but was later diagnosed with bronchitis, her spokesman said on Thursday.

Marie Osmond finished her portion of the performance at the Flamingo Las Vegas hotel on Wednesday night before going to the hospital for as much as two hours for tests, the singer's representative said.

Osmond is expected to return to the stage on Thursday night, and no shows have been canceled. The 52 year-old singer is currently headlining a variety performance live show alongside her brother Donny at the Flamingo.

The Osmond Brothers singing group rose to fame in the 1970s and were soon joined onstage by sister Marie, who went on to host a TV variety show with brother Donny, called "Donny & Marie." More recently, Marie Osmond appeared on the popular TV show "Dancing With the Stars."

Adele to have throat surgery, cancels 2011 plans

LOS ANGELES (AP) — An anesthesia expert testifying for the doctor charged in Michael Jackson's death told jurors Friday he believes evidence and test results show the pop superstar gave himself a fatal injection of an anesthetic.

Dr. Paul White said the self-injection theory is the only one supported by the physician's statement to police and by all the evidence found at Jackson's rented mansion.

White said he saw no evidence supporting the prosecution theory that Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray, was infusing the singer with propofol using an IV.

The researcher said the evidence recovered in Jackson's bedroom was more consistent with the singer receiving the powerful anesthetic through an injection. He said he believes Jackson somehow gave himself a 25-milligram dose of the drug between 11:30 a.m. and noon on June 25, 2009, when Murray found the singer unresponsive.

White — the defense's strongest witness and likely its last — will undergo cross-examination Monday. His testimony is expected to be vigorously challenged by prosecutors, who spent four weeks laying out their case that Murray is a greedy, inept and reckless doctor who was giving Jackson propofol as a sleep aid in the singer's bedroom.

Propofol is not intended as a sleep aid and, medical groups say, should be administered only in a hospital or surgical setting with advanced monitoring equipment.

White's testimony directly contradicts the theory by his colleague and collaborator, Dr. Steven Shafer, who testified for the prosecution. Shafer told jurors he believed Jackson's doctor used an IV drip of propofol and said that was the only way to explain the high levels of the drug found in the singer's body.

Shafer ruled out the self-administration theory during his Oct. 20 testimony, saying Jackson was asleep and the theory the singer could give himself the drug was "crazy."

But White noted there were no IV bags or lines found in Jackson's bedroom that showed propofol residue throughout the entire line. He also said the levels of propofol found in Jackson's urine did not support the IV theory.

Murray has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter.

White's testimony was expected to end Murray's defense case after 16 witnesses. Cross-examination was delayed until Monday to give prosecutors more time to review a new analysis prepared by the defense based on recently conducted tests of samples taken during Jackson's autopsy.

White told jurors he saw no evidence that Murray left Jackson on an IV drip of propofol when he left the room and returned to find the singer unresponsive.

He said the singer would have had to lie completely still to keep from disturbing the bottle under that scenario, and he has never heard of anyone using an IV saline bag to suspend a bottle of propofol for a drip.

White noted all bottles of the drug come with a tab on the side, which can be used to hang them from an IV stand.

One of Jackson's bodyguards reported seeing a bottle of propofol in a saline bag when he came to the singer's bedroom after Murray summoned for help. A coroner's investigator said she found an empty propofol bottle inside an IV bag among several bags of items containing medical equipment and several drugs in Jackson's closet, but she did not photograph the bottle in the bag.

White said under Shafer's IV administration scenario, the propofol bottle would have had to run dry right at the moment of Jackson's death.

White performed clinical studies of propofol for years before it was approved for usage by the Food and Drug Administration in 1989.

He initially was reluctant to become involved in the Jackson case. But White said that after reading more than a dozen expert reports, he couldn't figure out how others came to the conclusion that Murray would have had to leave Jackson on a propofol IV drip for the singer to die with the anesthetic still coursing through his body.

Kevorkian suicide machine, paintings in NYC sale

NEW YORK (AP) — Dr. Jack Kevorkian's suicide machine and 17 paintings tied up in a legal dispute with a suburban Boston museum are among the assisted-suicide advocate's possessions going on the auction block on Friday.

The paintings, including one Kevorkian did with a pint of his blood, and about 100 other personal items are set to be sold at the New York Institute of Technology. The estate has estimated the value of the 17 paintings at $2.5 million to $3.5 million.

Images of the paintings will be displayed instead of the actual works because the Armenian Library and Museum of America has refused to surrender them.

Kevorkian sparked the national right-to-die debate with a homemade suicide machine that helped end the lives of about 130 ailing people. He was convicted of second-degree murder in 1999 for assisting in the 1998 death of a Michigan man with Lou Gehrig's disease. He was released from prison in 2007.

He died in June in suburban Detroit at age 83, leaving his property to his niece and sole heir, Ava Janus of Troy, Mich.

The auction highlights include the assisted-suicide machine called a Thanatron, a bulletproof vest and his sweaters. Kevorian's last painting, made a year before his death, also is for sale and is not among the group of disputed works. Titled "9th Amendment," the pop art-style work depicts a U.S. treasury bill with an image of James Madison.

The proceeds will go to Janus and the charity Kicking Cancer for Kids.

Successful bidders of the disputed paintings will have to make a 10 percent deposit that will be held in escrow. The estate attorney, Mayer Morganroth, said the paintings will be delivered as soon as the dispute with the museum is resolved.

The Watertown, Mass., museum said the paintings were donated by Kevorkian, who was of Armenian descent.

Its attorney, Harold W. Potter Jr., has said the museum believes in good faith that it owns the paintings and they will stay put until the dispute is resolved.

Both sides have filed lawsuits.

Many of the paintings depict death or dying. One is titled "Genocide" and features a bloody head being dangled by the hair and held by the hands of two soldiers, one wearing a German military uniform from World War II and the other wearing a Turkish uniform from World War I. Kevorkian painted the head using his blood.

YouTube launches broad entertainment venture

NEW YORK (AP) — YouTube is making a bold step into original programming in an entertainment venture with some 100 content creators, from Madonna to The Wall Street Journal.

The Google Inc.-owned video site said Friday that it's launching more than 100 new video channels. The partners include an array of Hollywood production companies, celebrities and new media groups that will produce mainly niche-oriented videos.

YouTube is shelling out $100 million to producers, according to people familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity. The money is an advance on advertising money the videos will bring in, and Google will recoup its portion first before splitting the proceeds. Advances are as high as $5 million per channel, said another person familiar with the arrangement, also speaking on condition of anonymity.

Neither person was authorized to comment publicly on the matter.

Google declined to offer financial details of the deals, but said the majority of revenue will go to partners.

Participants include Madonna, former NBA star Shaquille O'Neal, comedian Amy Poehler, actor Ashton Kutcher, "Office" star Rainn Wilson, spiritual doctor Deepak Chopra and "Modern Family" actress Sofia Vergara. Most are creating channels through their production companies. Madonna is a partner with the dance channel DanceOn, while O'Neal plans the Comedy Shaq Network.

Lionsgate is presenting a fitness channel, and other channels will be launched by news satire the Onion, professional wrestling's WWE, online magazine Slate and news service Thomson Reuters.

The channels will roll out beginning this month, though most will premiere next year. YouTube says the channels will add 25 hours of new original content daily, with dozens of Web series debuting at scheduled times.

Ultimately, YouTube is aiming to create a new digital video platform that will rival television programming.

In a blog posting Friday night, YouTube said the channels are being developed "specifically for the digital age." The video site compared the expanded video offerings to the advent of cable television.

YouTube has tried to build a more advertiser-friendly product of professional-quality video, as opposed to simply user-created videos. Advertisers generally prefer to have their ads matched with known quantities. YouTube has also previously tried to urge viewers to stay longer with TV-like services like the YouTube Leanback, which continuously plays a personalized selection of videos.

Google is also looking to add professionally produced content to its huge roster of user-generated videos, to give users of its Google TV platform something to watch.

Major Hollywood networks such as News Corp.'s Fox and The Walt Disney Co.'s ABC have blocked their content from being shown on Google TV because the sides have been unable to come to a licensing deal that the networks believes pays them fairly. Networks also don't want to jeopardize their lucrative relationship with pay TV distributors like Comcast Corp. and DirecTV.

Google is a platform that has been adopted by set-top box maker Logitech, which makes a device called a Logitech Revue that sells for $100.

Attorney: Judge finalizes Milian-Dream divorce

ATLANTA (AP) — A judge has finalized singer Christina Milian's divorce from singer-songwriter-producer The-Dream.

Milian's attorney Randy Kessler said Monday that the judge in Atlanta signed the final paperwork this month.

Milian and The-Dream, whose real name is Terius Nash, were married in 2009 and separated in July 2010. The two have an infant daughter together.

Kessler said the divorce was resolved by mutual agreement.

Milian is best known for songs such as "Dip it Low." The-Dream, whose hits include "Shawty is a 10," has produced for artists including Mariah Carey, Rihanna and Britney Spears; he won two Grammys for his work on Beyonce's "Single Ladies (Put A Ring on It)."

Nurse to recount Jackson's pleas for anesthetic

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jurors hearing the case against the doctor charged in Michael Jackson's death are getting another look at the singer's life as defense attorneys try to portray him as desperate for sleep and eager to obtain the powerful anesthetic that authorities say killed him.

The panel will hear Tuesday from Cherilyn Lee, a nurse practitioner who has said Jackson repeatedly asked her for propofol to help him sleep, but she refused. Lee began her testimony Monday, the sixth witness that Dr. Conrad Murray's attorneys called to try to shift the blame for Jackson's death to the singer himself.

Murray's team plans Tuesday to call other witnesses who they think may support that theory, including Randy Phillips, the president and CEO of concert promoter AEG Live, and Jackson's makeup artist and hairstylist, Karen Faye. They will also call several expert witnesses who will try to rebut the testimony of prosecution experts who said Murray was reckless and at fault in Jackson's unexpected death on June 25, 2009.

Murray has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter.

The defense's case now appears to hinge on their claim that Jackson gave himself a fatal dose of propofol. In a court filing Monday, Murray's attorneys argued that they should be allowed to show jurors the agreement between Jackson and AEG Live to show that Jackson had much to lose if he couldn't perform 50 comeback concerts planned for London's O2 arena.

AEG would have been allowed to recoup its investment in the shows and advances paid to Jackson if he couldn't perform, the filing states.

Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor will consider whether to allow the agreement and testimony about it by Phillips, although he has previously excluded any evidence of Jackson's financial hardships.

"This evidence directly supports the defense theory of the case — that Mr. Jackson self-administered propofol due to the enormous pressure and stress placed on him pursuant to the agreement," the defense filing states. "Mr. Jackson's mental state on June 25, 2009 is highly relevant to the defense in this case."

Murray's attorneys expect Faye will testify that Jackson was distraught about completing the comeback shows.

One of the initial defense witnesses, Dr. Allan Metzger, supported prosecutors' contentions that Murray acted recklessly by giving Jackson propofol as a sleep aid and that the singer was looking forward to the show.

"He was excited," Metzger said of Jackson's demeanor during conversations and a house call in the months before the singer's death. "He was talking to me about some creative things that he was thinking about. He spoke to me about his excitement and his fear about the tour."

Metzger said Jackson felt the shows were a big obligation and he wanted to deliver stellar performances.

The doctor, who knew and treated Jackson for more than 15 years, testified the pop superstar asked him about IV medications during his house call.

On cross-examination, Metzger said he told Jackson that using any IV drugs or anesthetics to sleep was unsafe.

"You explained to him that it that was dangerous, life-threatening and should not be done outside of a hospital, correct," prosecutor David Walgren asked the doctor.

"That's correct," he replied.

"Was there any amount of money that would have convinced you to give him intravenous propfol in his house?" Walgren asked.

"Absolutely not," Metger said.

Lee was similarly against Jackson taking propofol to help him sleep. She told The Associated Press in 2009 that the singer repeatedly asked for the drug while she was treating him for nutrition and sleep issues.

"I said, 'Michael, the only problem with you taking this medication' — and I had a chill in my body and tears in my eyes three months ago — 'the only problem is you're going to take it and you're not going to wake up,'" she recalled telling Jackson.

Lee kept detailed notes of her treatments on Jackson, which she flipped through repeatedly while testifying Monday.

According to prosecutors, Murray kept no notes on his treatments on Jackson after signing on as his personal physician for the London shows.

Defense attorneys expect to conclude their case Thursday, but even if they do, jurors won't begin deliberations until next week. A judge told attorneys that he would give them the weekend to craft their closing arguments and finalize jury instructions.

Murphy hopes 'not to drop the ball' as Oscars host

NEW YORK (AP) — With four months to go until the Academy Awards, Eddie Murphy is already feeling the pressure about hosting the ceremony.

At the premiere of his new comedy film "Tower Heist" he said he's "excited" about the job but "hoping not to drop the ball."

The film's director, Brett Ratner, is also producing the Academy Awards and approached Murphy with the idea of hosting.

On the comic's to-do list between now and then is to watch some movies.

"What's the front-runner? Who knows?" he asked on the red carpet.

Murphy was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar in 2007 for his performance in "Dreamgirls" but lost to Alan Arkin.

The 84th Annual Academy Awards are Sunday, Feb. 26, 2012.

Tension boils over in the ballroom on 'Dancing'

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The latest episode of "Dancing With the Stars" included insults, an animal comparison and two nearly perfect performances.

A heated exchange between professional dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy and head judge Len Goodman stole the spotlight from first-place finishers Ricki Lake and J.R. Martinez.

Chmerkovskiy and his partner, soccer star Hope Solo, landed near the bottom of the judges' leaderboard Monday. With 20 points out of 30, they finished just ahead of Chaz Bono, in last place with 19 points.

One of the seven remaining celebrities will be dismissed during Tuesday's episode. Judges' scores combined with viewer votes determine who is kicked off the hit ABC show each week.

When Goodman called Solo's rumba "your worst dance of the whole season," Chmerkovskiy suggested the judge get out of the dance business.

Chmerkovskiy told one of the show's hosts that the judges seem to pick on certain contestants, and he kept up the conversation after Monday's live episode.

"The judges have their favorites," he said. "They always have."

Bono's professional partner, Lacey Schwimmer, agreed.

"They always have their favorites, and this season it's completely clear who they are. I won't name names, but we are not one of them," she said. "I'm actually proud of what Maks said. A lot of us don't get the chance to stand up for us and our partners."

Schwimmer cried backstage during Monday's episode and was still upset after the show, when she complained about the judges' "rude" remarks about Bono.

"Every week he gets referred to as an animal," she said. "They always comment on his personality, and last I checked, this was a dancing show."

After the couple danced their tango, judge Bruno Tonioli said Bono was like "a cute little penguin trying to be a big menacing bird of prey." Tonioli has also compared Bono to an Ewok.

Mom Cher tweeted her support before and after Bono's performance.

Bono said after the show that he "came on here to show people a strong proud transgender man, and I'm not going to let the judges get me down."

David Arquette, who finished in third place with his "Grease"-themed routine, said tensions are running high as the competition heats up.

"It's just a high-pressure part of the season," he said after Monday's episode. "Everybody's really passionate about it, so it's not a surprise people get fired up."

He earned 23 points for a quickstep that "had the exuberance and charge of a frisky teenager on spring break," Tonioli said.

Nancy Grace came in second with her best score yet: 24 points for a foxtrot that one judge called "a show-stopper."

Lake and Martinez tied with the top score of 29 points.

Rob Kardashian — who had sisters Kim and Khloe and their basketball husbands among his cheering section — finished in fourth place with 22 points for a cha-cha Tonioli described as "adequate, but it didn't have the impact and power it should at this stage."

The seven couples also danced a group routine to a medley of Broadway songs. Broadway star Kristin Chenoweth performed a medley of her own, singing a pair of show tunes.

Chenoweth is set to return on Tuesday's episode, when a sixth celebrity is ousted. Carson Kressley, Chynna Phillips, Kristin Cavallari, Elisabetta Canalis and Ron Artest/Metta World Peace have already been eliminated this season.
