JEWISH. INDEPENDENT. NONPROFIT.
For the first time in years, a key component of the Academy Awards ceremony was missing on Sunday night — a person without whom, it was widely believed, the night could hardly function. I am referring, of course, to Natalie Portman, whose life-of-a-pop-star movie “Vox Lux” was unjustly snubbed by Academy voters (she sang, people!)…
In “A Star Is Born,” the third, and flashiest remake of “the story Hollywood can’t stop telling,” has enjoyed glowing attention. Writers have profiled nearly everyone in the movie, from director-star Bradley Cooper, to Cooper’s real life ear doctor, who has a cameo in the film. Lady Gaga’s relentless repetition during the movie’s press tour…
Like a dog-cloning, multi-millionaire doula, Barbra Streisand has blessed the Bradley Cooper remake of her 1976 movie, “A Star Is Born.” Streisand, as aspiring rockstar Esther Hoffman, saw “A Star Is Born” through its third iteration — the musical extravaganza began in 1937 as a movie starring Janet Gaynor.

On Thursday, the ADL announced that Gaga had received its Making a Difference award for “work championing positive social change.” “The Foundation shares ADL’s mission of combating bullying among young people,” an ADL press release said….
I was a little harsh on Lady Gaga when, half-joking, I accused her and Tony Bennett of mugging our dear Jewish diva Barbra Streisand at the Grammys. Today, I am singing Gaga’s praises for turning around what had become the Debbie Downer Academy Awards with an exuberant “Sound of Music” montage celebrating the 50th anniversary…
Lady Gaga issued a short video in advance of her performance in Tel Aviv, greeting her fans with “Shalom.” “Shalom, Israel,” the American pop star said in the 10-second video. “I’m so excited to perform my new tour in Tel Aviv.” The performer’s manager announced Sunday that the Sept. 13 concert would go on as…
American singer and performer Lady Gaga will appear in Tel Aviv as part of her current concert tour. Lady Gaga will perform at Yarkon Park on Sept. 13, her producers announced Sunday. The appearance is part of her current world tour: “artRAVE: The ARTPOP ball,” named after her album released last November. She will perform…
