Lady Gaga took a short break from singing â€œMillion Reasonsâ€ at her Saturday performance of â€œEnigmaâ€ in Las Vegas to slam the president for the continued government shutdown.

While sitting at the piano for her performance, Gaga broke into a takedown of the government shutdown and Vice President Mike Pence, who has been in the headlines after it was brought to light that his wife recently decided to return to teaching art part-time at the Immanuel Christian School in Springfield, Va., which expressly bars LGBTQ students or employees.

Bitch.

I really liked her in a "Star is Born"; however, I won't watch anything else that she's in.

I tend to cut her a little slack because she has never lived anywhere but NYC,and she actually thinks it is not only a part of America,but a shining star.

Isn't Gaga a Shiksa? Babs would not approve....

@The Ghost

I don't know what a Shiska is,but I think Ga Ga is Italian.

I was planning to see that movie but she just moved herself into my 'do not watch' list which is growing.

I can't understand why entertainers who depend on the public choose to alienate at least half of their possible audience.

You obviously didn't see the original if you like that turd.

Didn't go to see it because of Gaga. I went to see it because of Bradley Cooper. Honestly, both were excellent, but I won't be going to see Gaga again for trashing the shutdown and in particular the VP. She can kiss my grits!

Her core base is the gay and lesbian community, something she's admitted repeatedly. As long as they're buying her product, she's going to cater to their beliefs. She'd rather play it safe and keep that audience rather than trying to overly broaden it and potentially lose the audience she has.

@jmyrlefuller

She has already started to spread her fan base. Not long ago she was singing in public appearances with Tony Bennett,and appearing as a normal woman.

NOBODY that has lived their entire life in the NYC entertainment biz really understands what average people consider to be normal,though. NYC entertainment society is an inbred group without any real contact with the outside world.

Yeah. Bradley Cooper. He's so dreamy.

Maybe, but that is a very small base. Large in publicity but small in reality. Anyway, I always wondered about the mindset of someone who would call herself Lady Gaga.

For the longest time I thought she was a tranny.

Watch the Judy Garland version. It is very good.

Sorry...

Too right @jpsb Why do they keep remaking good movies with lame copycats, as in Mary Poppins, Star is Born, etc.

@Emjay

There aren't many really creative people in Hollywood anymore. Most have fled to Netflix. Hollywood
uses formulas now. And I guess every 30 years or so it's time to remake A Star is Born. Judy
Garland and Babs are truly great vocalists. Gaga is good but she in NOT in their league.

@libertybelle

I think that is the bleached white hair or wig that makes her look mannish.

If you ever see her with her natural brunette hair,she is actually very pretty. She does look like something a dog would back away from with that bleached hair,though. The transformation is amazing to see.

Because Hollyweird is in the biz of making money,and the majority of the movie goers are under 25 and will go to see a very good movie starring Ga Ga,but most have no idea who Judy Garland is,and would never buy a ticket to see her in the sale role.

Like all businesses,they cater to their market.
