LADY GAGA ON "GOOD MORNING AMERICA" IN CONDOM OUTFIT


Lady Gaga on Good Morning America
Our beloved Lady Gaga visited ABC’s Good Morning America today, hawking her new LipGlass (not to be confused with Lip Gloss) for the M-A-C AIDS Fund for a second year in a row. Gaga arrived today dressed in a flesh-coloured Condom-inspired outfit to promote AIDS awareness and use of Protection. Fans came from as far as Australia to see her.

In her words, her unusually coloured LipGlass is for, “a Woman or Man of any skin colour to wear”. Check it out here.

On her new Single Born this Way, which already is a massive success, she indicated that the track is “more than about me. It was destined to reach so many people around the world”.

HAPPY WORLD AIDS DAY


Jennifer Hudson 
Happy World AIDS Day!  Wait. That's inappropriate isn't it? According a 2009 Report from the United Nations, it is estimated that 33.3 million people around the World are infected with HIV/AIDS and that is no laughing matter.  Although globally fewer people overall are dying of AIDS due to advancements in Medicine since the 1990s which slow down the progression of HIV to AIDS, there still is a steady increase in the number of people living with HIV around the World.

Some of our favourite Celebrities have teamed together to raise money for Children in Africa who are infected with AIDS. Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson, Justin Timberlake, Kim Kardashian, Bronson Pelletier, Usher, Lady Gaga and many more have staged their own Digital Deaths today, which means that until they raise $1 million from their Fans via Text Message Donations, there will be no more online communication between them and their Fans through Social Utilities like Facebook and Twitter.  And to think Hudson just lost all that weight and can't even enjoy it now!

Click here for details on how to donate to and learn about the cause. It's easy to donate and even my favourite Starbucks has created their own World AIDS Day initiative where $0.05 from each Hand-Crafted Beverage (made at the Bar) sold today will be donated to the Global Fund.

PRODUCT WATCH: VIVA GLAM GAGA LIPSTICK

Not that I know much about make-up, I do look forward to seeing who M·A·C Cosmetics will unveil as their new spokespeople for their VIVA GLAM campaign. Previous years have seen artists like Elton John, Mary J. Blige and Fergie selected. How exciting is it that both Lady Gaga and Cyndi Lauper will be joining forces in launching their own individual lipsticks for $14 (U.S.) or $16.500 (CAN) a pop each on February 25, 2010? 100% of proceeds will go to the MAC AIDS Fund which fights the stigma and shame associated with HIV and AIDS.

I'm already picking ladyfriends in my mind to get these for. Are you running out of reasons to dislike Lady Gaga yet?

WORLD AIDS DAY

In the famous words of Madonna: "Hey you! Don't be silly, put a condom on your Willy!"

Today, December 1st, is World AIDS Day. The greatest acts of caring we can do for our selves and our partners is to get educated on HIV and AIDS and more importnatly, practice safer sex. It is estimated that over 33 million people around the world have HIV, which means in all likelihood that we all know and love someone who has the virus. Do your part: donate, get educated or simply just protect yourself.
