Stargazing | Gaga sued as 007 gets married

Posted by Unknown Monday, June 27, 2011

Gaga greedy?

A Michigan law firm is suing Lady Gaga, accusing her of wrongfully keeping some of the proceeds of the “We Pray for Japan” bracelets she has been selling to raise money for earthquake victims.

Gaga’s website promises that all proceeds go to charity. But the federal class-action suit, filed Saturday, charges that she inflated the shipping charges and also kept some of the $5 she charged for them.

Sales of the bracelets have helped Gaga donate $3 million to the cause so far, and she just headlined a disaster relief benefit concert in Tokyo over the weekend. No word from her camp on the lawsuit.

Bond — Mrs. James Bond

Look who got married oh-so-quietly under the radar last week: Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig tied the knot in a small ceremony in upstate New York.

It was so small only four people attended: Rachel’s son with “Black Swan” director Darren Aronofsky, Daniel’s daughter from his previous marriage, and two friends of the couple.

Tongues started wagging about a relationship between the two late last year after they made the thriller “Dream House,” in which they play — drumroll, please — husband and wife. The film hits theaters in the fall.

One bad mommy

The new get-out-of-jail-free card: Breasts full of mother’s milk.

Police say that Mexican pop singer Paulina Rubio crashed her BMW into another car in Miami over the weekend. When the cops arrived, she refused to get out of the car and cursed at an officer.

When the officer put her in handcuffs, the police report states that she screamed for help and threatened to call her attorney. Police say she eventually calmed down and apologized.

They charged her with disorderly conduct, but didn’t take her into custody because she said she had to breastfeed her baby.

A very Brady ick factor

We liked it so much better when Florence Henderson was just Mrs. Brady, coolest mom on TV, to us.

In her new memoir, “Life Is Not a Stage,” Florence tells about her one-night stand with John Lindsay, New York’s mayor from 1966 to 1973.

She was married at the time but writes that “I was lonely. I knew it wasn’t the right thing to do. So, what did I do? I did it.”

But a guilty conscience isn’t the only thing she was left with. Turns out that Mr. Mayor “must have had quite the active life,” because Florence also reveals that he gave her a sexually transmitted disease. No details, just in case you’re eating while reading this.

Billy Ray’s back

Billy Ray Cyrus gets all red, white and blue on his new album, “I’m American,” out today. Along with seven new songs, he has remade “Some Gave All,” the title track to his multiplatinum debut album that punished, er, gave the world “Achy Breaky Heart.”

Billy Ray, who also hosts TLC’s military-themed show “Homecomings,” is a regular performer on the military circuit and said the idea for the album started with one of those trips to a combat zone.

“It was during a performance in Afghanistan on ‘Some Gave All.’ When some bombs went off in the background, a young soldier stood up and said, ‘Keep going, Mr. Cyrus. We’re used to it,’ ” he said.

“At that moment, I knew that I felt like I was going to come back and record ‘Some Gave All’ and start an entire album on a concept that was based solely on taking my hat off and saluting our troops.”
