Gaga struggles with exhaustion

Gaga struggles with exhaustion

Lady Gaga is constantly struggling to overcome a "fog" of exhaustion which "hovers over" her during her gruelling touring schedule.

The Poker Face hitmaker has been touring non-stop over the last 18 months with her Monster Ball shows and in early 2010, she sparked fears for her health by cancelling a number of concerts due to fatigue.

Gaga admits her constant tiredness is a serious concern, but she is determined to continue her punishing work routine for the sake of her fans.

In an interview with Sir Elton John for V magazine, she says, "At a certain point exhaustion becomes a state of being, and mentally I have to be strong and overcome it. It's like a cloud, a fog really that hovers over me. But in a way I will never ever escape it. Art is my whole life.

"The monsters (fans) are my medicine. They heal me, physically and emotionally, every night at the show. I feel God through their love. I worship little monsters. They're my religion."

Look Out For Lucky Bird Droppings

A man from New Zealand was hit on the head by bird droppings. His friends told him that bird droppings were a lucky sign. So, he bought an instant-win scratch card on the same day. And he ended up winning NZ$100,000.

He said he considered it all rubbish but when he was in a Lotto shop he had $5 left in his wallet so he just thought to buy a scratchie and test his luck. He was more than happy to see what he won after scratching the card. Perhaps the bird droppings were really a lucky charm.

The man, whose name is not revealed was really happy. He is all set to pay off his debts and start a new life with this money. He was originally from Christchurch and is planning to go back to his earthquake stricken home town. He will give funds to rebuild his town.

Well, do look out for some bird droppings. Who knows you'd be the next one to get lucky like this man here :)

Royal Couple Doesn't Want Any Wedding Gifts

Prince William and his soon to be bride Kate Middleton have asked their wedding guests and well wishers for donations for a special charitable fund instead of giving them any wedding gifts. St. James Palace has announced this news.

The couple thought about it and have selected 26 charities falling in five different categories - children, arts and sports, conservation, service personnel, help and care at home. The guests can donate to any charity they like through the website: www.royalweddingcharityfund.org/.

Most of the charities are very small and they need donations to operate well and continue their noble cause. The list of charities includes anti-bullying group, a dance group, a charity for army widows and Earthwatch - a community of scientists and environmentalists. Some of them work with disadvantaged young people while some are based in Canada, New Zealand and Australia.

It seems William has taken this compassionate side from his late mother, Princess Diana who despite of her troubled life always went out of her way to help the unfortunate and less privileged beings around the world. It is said that both Kate and William have been associated with charity work before. This was something different and I didn't really expect a kind announcement of the sort from the royal family. And I guess with Prince Andrew's shameless history, such kindness and consideration would be quite a delightful thought for the Britain and the royal family members.
