HELLO set up a kindness ranking probably because of her, the impact! :wub: :lol:

 

27 million is a pretty staggering sum of money, but that's how much Lady Gaga raised for the World Health Organisation and COVID-19 relief with her virtual gig back in April, which also featured Billie Eilish, Chris Martin and dozens of other performers.

 

Gaga's Born This Way Foundation has been active since 2012 focusing on mental health in young people; the singer, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, said she wanted to "establish a standard of bravery and kindness".

 

"Kindness heals the world. Kindness heals people. It's what brings us together - it's what keeps us healthy." - Lady Gaga

The charity runs the #BeKind21 initiative, which encourages people to do at least one kind thing a day for three weeks during September and has worked on #BeKindBeThere which promotes the idea of supporting other people's mental health.

I just today came across to the story about Perez Hilton and his memoir. Didn't know it was such a news.

 

He had no bigger love-hate relationship than with Lady Gaga, whom he met in 2008.

 

“I’ll never forget the way she seemed to be glowing,” he writes. “There are certain people you feel like you’ve known for a long time from the moment you meet them, and that’s exactly how it was with Gaga.”

 

Soon, the two were talking on the phone for hours each day. Hilton writes that they hung out so often, they started spending holidays together, and he called her “wifey.”

 

But fame, Hilton writes, changed her.

 

“As she became Lady Gaga to the world, she began drinking in a different, more serious way, while also popping all kinds of pills.”

 

Instead of confronting her, Hilton defended her at every turn, even when it was unwarranted.

 

When he and Gaga thought Christina Aguilera copied Gaga on her “Bionic” album, Hilton started trashing Aguilera mercilessly in his column, even though the singer had just performed at his birthday party a few months earlier.

 

“I started giving Christina all kinds of terrible nicknames,” he writes.

 

“Looking back now, it’s one of the things I’m most ashamed of, and I can also see that Gaga was using me as a tool — not only against Christina but against other rivals too. She never explicitly asked me to write nasty things about people, but by moaning to me she made me feel like I, her best friend, should do something about it.”

 

His friendship with Gaga imploded in 2011, shortly after the release of her “Born This Way” album.

 

Hilton flew to Australia, where Gaga was doing promo for the album, to interview her for a TV special. After the flight, instead of pushing the interviews to the following day, they sat for them that night, with both of them jet-lagged and Gaga also drunk.

 

When Hilton asked about her song “Judas,” which had attracted some controversy due to religious imagery in the song’s video, Gaga exploded.

 

“Her eyes turned dark and she snapped at me, ‘What are you doing? Are you trying to make me look bad?’”

 

Hilton was taken aback, and changed the subject quickly. But asking about her boyfriend instead did little to placate the superstar, who glared at him and said, “I’m ending this.”

 

“By this point, Gaga seemed convinced I was trying to catch her out,” Hilton writes.

 

“If she hadn’t been so drunk and if she had just thought it through, she would have seen that that was the last thing I wanted,” Hilton writes.

 

Gaga stormed off to her hotel as Hilton ran after her in tears. She finished the interview a few days later, but something had changed. Their friendship was over.

 

Two years later, Hilton was apartment hunting in New York when his email account suddenly began filling up with hate mail, with people accusing him of tormenting Lady Gaga.

 

“After reading a few of the messages, I realized that Gaga had tweeted something about me earlier that day, so I checked what she had written,” he writes.

 

“She accused me of following her, of being a creepy stalker. My head was spinning. Had she gone completely crazy? Was she so drunk or high on drugs that she had finally lost all sense of reality?”

 

As he kept reading, he realized that he had unknowingly looked at an apartment in Gaga’s building. A fan of hers saw him and tweeted the news to Gaga, which set off her tirade.

 

“Why, after two years silence, would I suddenly start stalking her?” he writes. “It was sheer persecution mania, and once I got over the initial shock and deleted all the hate mail, I actually just felt sad for her.”
