Lady Gaga Advises Scotty McCreery To Treat His Microphone Like His Girl Friend While James Durbin Leaves American Idol

Google's Blogger has been in major malfunction mode, which prevented me from blogging.

So, I am 2 days past Lady Gaga's interesting appearance on this week's American Idol.

I found all Lady Gaga's mentoring to be amusing, with the most amusing being the mentoring done to 17 year old Scotty McCreery.

Telling the kid to treat his microphone like his girl friend, to make sweet love to it. I forget what else.

And then Lady Gaga stood up and walked over to Scotty. The shorts Lady Gaga was wearing were very interesting. Actually, I could not tell for sure if she was wearing any shorts.

Scotty's reactions were funny, as were his comments, post-Gaga.

Lady Gaga seemed to be giving good advice. I thought all did well. I was surprised that it was James Durbin who got the tearful boot on Thursday and not Haley Reinhart or Lauren Alaina.

I am sort of disappointed we won't be seeing a James Durbin hometown visit. It likely would have been very interesting. With a lot of tears jerked.

I've read in the past couple days that Lady Gaga wants to be on Glee. A Lady Gaga appearance on Glee would likely be highly amusing.

In North Texas Weather Interrupted the Glee Lady Gaga Born This Way 90 Minute Special

Pet Peeve.

Idiotic interruptions of scheduled network TV shows to tell viewers bad weather is happening somewhere in the area a particular station covers.

Interrupting when something serious happens, that I'm okay with.

Terrorists attack America, break in with live coverage. Slovenia launches a nuclear attack on Non-Slovenia, break in with live coverage. Lee Harvey Oswald shoots JFK, break in with live coverage. Osama bin Laden captured, break in with live coverage. Hitler found alive in Argentina, break in with live coverage.

But what happened Tuesday night on KDFW FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth was brain dead moronic.

GLEE is one of my few guilty pleasures. Tuesday was a highly touted 90 minute Lady Gaga "Born This Way" special.

My DVR was set to record GLEE. I did not try to watch it til at least an hour had been recorded.

When I went to watch I was appalled to find that the first half hour.

Or more.

Was devoted to breathless, non-stop, weather information. Including live images of pea-sized hail falling.

Yes, we had a bad storm roll through North and East Texas on Tuesday night.

Power was knocked out for thousands of people. A tornado damaged a lot of homes. The very people who might have found weather info useful, no longer had TV access.

If one knows the weather is turning inclement one has many info options. If one chooses to turn on ones TV to watch a scheduled program one should not have that choice interrupted by useless weather information that is totally pointless and about which one can do nothing.

It works perfectly well to put weather info in a crawl across the bottom of the screen, or in the lower right or left. There is no need to break in to regular programming so a TV Weatherman can have fun being all dramatic about the weather.

What I did get to see of GLEE was very amusing. But my recording ran out before I learned if Rachel went ahead with her nose job. And I did not get to see the "Born This Way" production.

Sunday night we also had some storm action in North Texas. The local CBS affiliate did not mess with The Amazing Race. CBS kept viewers informed about possible tornado and hail and lightning action via the non-obtrusive means I've already mentioned. I have no idea how CBS handled last night's storm. I suspect way smarter than FOX did. Or the local ABC affiliate did with its embarrassing Pete Delkus Weather Drama Queen.

No weather drama is on the schedule for tonight for North Texas. So, I suspect the local FOX affiliate will let American Idol run uninterrupted.

Lady Gaga Wins an MTV Video Music Award & Other Lady Gaga Tidbits

I fail at times at keeping up with the pop culture. It is just too daunting a task. And there is so much of it. But, every once in awhile I will tire of hearing about something or someone and will finally go to the bother of learning, or trying to, what the big deal is.

That type curiosity is what eventually led me to checking out what Facebook and Twitter are, not that I really understand the fascination with either.

For awhile now I have been seeing little blurbs about someone calling herself Lady Gaga. From the little blurbs I'd seen I figured this was a cross-dresser, acting all flamboyant, putting on some sort of singing show.

Well. I was wrong. I think. If you Google "lady gaga," you'll see a suggested related search, that being, "is lady gaga a man." If you look for Lady Gaga images, in Google, the related search "lady gaga hermaphrodite" will be suggested.

I'm not quite sure where this Lady Gaga is a man stuff comes from. To me she appears to be a female. But this would not be the first time I've been fooled by this type thing.

Wikipedia, and I always believe Wikipedia, says Lady Gaga is 23 years old, born March 28, 1986 in Yonkers, New York, originally named Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta.

Stefani won Best New Artist at last night's MTV Video Music Awards. I believe Kayne West left her alone to give her thank you speech.

I watched some YouTube videos of Lady Gaga singing. I found her tunes to be quite catchy.

Below is a slightly disturbing YouTube video of Lady Gaga at an outdoor concert. The video is titled, "Lady Gaga has a Penis? Lady Gaga is a man? Man Gaga? Mr. Gaga? Sir Gaga?"

There is a moment in the video when Lady Gaga gets off a motorbike where I can see where these questions come from.
