Lady Gaga has been clubbing since childhood

Washington, March 6 (ANI): Hitting the clubs may be a common practice for Lady GaGa now, but the singer revealed she was no stranger to the hotspots even as a child.

The 22-year-old said, thanks to her ’super cool’ mum, she had been club-hopping in New York for performances since high school.

“I’ve been playing out in clubs since I was in high school, since I was fifteen my mum used to take me [because] I was too young to get in,” Fox News quoted her as telling Tarts.

“My mum was super cool. She’d help me sign up and perform and then when I got to college I started gigging, I would ride my bike around or walk to different clubs in New York on the Lower East Side and in the East Village.

“You’ve got to play clubs, you’ve got to do amazing, you’ve got to fail, you’ve got to get standing ovations and need to be booed off the stage,” she added.

The “Poker Face” further recalled being awestruck by the gossip blogger and self-professed Queen of all Media.

She added: “I was playing at Perez Hilton’s bash so I invited my girlfriends to come, they were so excited. It was for Perez Hilton, he’s a big celebrity.” (ANI)

Kendra Wilkinson’s ‘low profile’ strategy to avoid media intrusion

Washington, Feb 21 (ANI): Hugh Hefner’s ex-girlfriend Kendra Wilkinson has said that she is trying to keep a low profile because she has been irritated by the prying media eye since her split with the Playboy Mogul, and the subsequent engagement with Hank Baskett.

The former ‘Girls Next Door’ star said that security scares and prying packs of paparazzi forced her out of the Hollywood heat.

Speaking at the Silverspoon Oscars House, the 23-year-old bride-to-be said that though she was excited for her June wedding with Baskett, she was trying to lay as low as possible.

“I’ve had to move to the Valley to get away from it. Being followed like that is really scary,” Fox News quoted her as saying.

However, many photo agencies have revealed that ever since Hefner’s three top girlfriends-Holly Madison, Wilkinson, Bridget Marquardt-have walked out on him, their picture value has dropped significantly.

But Kendra still sells the highest of them all.

On the other hand, the busty beauty has claimed that she has no regrets about leaving Playboy, and is the happiest she’s ever been.

She also said that her octogenarian ex, and the other two Palyboy bunnies, were still her “best friends.” (ANI)
