Love her or hate her, we can all agree on one thing about Lady Gaga: she certainly knows how to stay in the spotlight.

Our Lady of Gaga has released her new single, "Judas," and it already has Christian groups upset...even before the music video has dropped. In the song, Gaga sings about being "still in love with Judas," with lyrics like, "Jesus is my virtue, and Judas is the demon I cling to.

Early Saturday morning, actor Nicolas Cage was arrested by New Orleans police for disturbing the peace. Cage, who was allegedly very drunk, had been arguing loudly with his wife, Alice, at their rental address in the Big Easy where Cage is currently filming.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus is returning to TV, and she's going to get political while she's at it.

The former "Seinfeld" star has landed a new comedy series with HBO entitled "Veep." In the show, Louis-Dreyfus will play Selina Meyer, a U.S. senator who becomes vice president. It's unclear whether the show will satirize Democrats or Republicans specifically or just the political landscape in general, but hijinks will certainly ensue.

Episode 'The Vampire Diaries' Season 2, Episode 18 - 'The Last Dance' Recap
April 16, 2011 @ 10:06 am PST    The Vampire Diaries     Britt Ashley    

We open on Elena signing a massive stack of paperwork that transforms Chez Salvatore into her very own mansion/vampire-proof safehouse.  Stefan and Damon hang out on the porch, waiting to be invited back in and discussing Katherine’s likely death at the hands of Klaus.

Elena manages to flirt with both brothers, while allowing them back in to their own house.  I have to say, the love triangle chemistry with these three was way on in this episode and, as usual, really fun to watch.

When ABC announced yesterday that they were pulling the plug on 80 years of television history by canceling two long-running soap operas – “All My Children” and “One Life to Live,” the announcement was met with passionate outcries from outraged fans, many of whom had grown up with the shows their whole lives.
