Lady Gaga may have a dream director for a future film role, but she has no interest in a dream home.
In an appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” set to air on Friday, Gaga says, ”My dream would be to be in a Woody Allen movie.”
The mega-rich singer, who describes herself as a “gypsy,” also reveals why she still doesn’t own her own home.
In addition to explaining that she’s on the road a lot, Gaga admits she just doesn’t want to shell out the cash.
“Even though it might not seem like a big deal because I’m a pop singer or whatever,” she tells DeGeneres, “it still hurts to write a check. It’s a lot of money.”
Money seems to be an issue with the wealthy star.
She shares that she almost couldn’t bear to sign her huge tax returns this year.
“I had to get completely wasted,” she says. “They were just holding me up. It’s unbelievable
America’s favorite slow-motion train wreck continued on “Kourtney and Kim Take New York” this week, as Kim Kardashian‘s trip to Minnesota to see Kris Humphries once again raised the question: Why did these two marry in the first place?
Viewers saw Kardashian travel to Humphries’ neck of the woods for a little rest and relaxation, only to wonder why he seemed so comfortable living thousands of miles away from her.
“It’s weird to me and frustrating that he’s so content with living separately,” says Kardashian.
Humphries was also in a reflective state, telling his wife, “Your armpits smell like a combination of fish and hot garbage.
Angelina Jolie,s directorial debut has yet to hit theaters, but it continues to cause a stir – for the wrong reasons.
James Braddock, a journalist and author of the book “The Soul Shattering,” is seeking to prevent the release of Jolie’s film, In The Land of Blood and Honey, on copyright grounds.
Braddock claims in a lawsuit that he met with Edin Sarkic, a producer on Jolie’s movie, several times to discuss adapting his 2007 book on the Bosnian War before the A-list star and Sarkic developed their own version, which allegedly features similar plot details and characters.
Like in Jolie’s movie, Braddock’s novel tells the story of a Serbian commander who falls in love with a female prisoner.
Jolie, Sarkic and the production companies behind the upcoming film – slated to be released Dec. 23 – are all named in the suit, which seeks damages.

NEW DELHI: Pakistani actress Veena Malik has filed a defamation suit against an Indian magazine for a “morphed” cover photo of her posing nude with the initials of Pakistan’s intelligence agency on her arm.
Malik’s spokesman, Sohail Rasheed, said on Monday that the actress was seeking 100 million rupees in damages from FHM India, whose editor insists the cover shoot was genuine and consensual.
“The picture has been morphed,” Rasheed said in Islamabad, adding that the magazine had targeted Malik’s “credibility and character”.
The magazine’s December issue has yet to hit news stands. But a preview of the cover on its website triggered a media frenzy.
FHM India editor Kabeer Sharma told AFP at the weekend that he was mystified by Malik’s allegations.
“Maybe she is facing some kind of backlash, so maybe that’s why she is denying it.
“We have not photoshopped or faked the cover. This is what she looks like, she has an amazing body,” Sharma said.
In his Twitter feed on Monday, Sharma said he would release a series of photos from the shoot proving his version of the story.
While Malik’s pose on the cover preserves a scant degree of modesty, any nudity is still very much frowned upon in conservative India – and indeed in Pakistan.
What has raised more eyebrows was her arm sporting the initials ISI – the acronym for Inter-Services Intelligence, Pakistan’s spy agency.
Sharma said the idea had been to take an ironic swipe at India’s obsession with the ISI.People, especially young people in both countries, want to move past this kind of thinking,” the editor said.
“It’s a very powerful picture – it took a lot of guts for her to do that. It shows a powerful, sexy woman not afraid to speak her mind.”
Malik is already well known in India for appearing on “Bigg Boss”, the country’s version of the television reality show “Big Brother”.
WASHINGTON: The United States must “fully review” its ties with Pakistan and consider cuts or new restrictions to military and economic aid, Republican senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham urged Monday.
A joint statement from the veteran American politicians conveyed the depth of feeling felt by many of their contemporaries in Washington about the need to re-evaluate a decade-long strategic relationship that has foundered this year.
“The United States has been incredibly patient with Pakistan. And we have been so despite certain undeniable and deeply disturbing facts,” they said.
“The time has come for the United States to fully review its relations with Pakistan. We must assess the nature and levels of our support.”
McCain serves as the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, while Graham is a member of that panel and is the top Republican on the committee that allocates US foreign aid.
“All options regarding US security and economic assistance to Pakistan must be on the table, including substantial reductions and stricter standards for performance,” they said.
The senators then cited alleged support from Pakistani army and intelligence officials for the Haqqani network “and other terrorist groups”blamed for attacks on US targets in Afghanistan “that are killing US troops.”
