There. Are. No. Words.

I lied. There are plenty of words to describe this performance of Gaga's "Bad Romance" on the Finnish TV show "Battle of the Choirs."

Incredible, horrifying, musical, beautiful, moving, special, fierce. Those are a few.

Please watch this video!!! Via DListed.


PS--Finland has a TV show called "Battle of the Choirs"????????

At last night's Royal Variety Performance in Blackpool, England, The Queen her self showed up to catch some of the performances and meet some of the stars. Notable American celebrities who presented themselves to The Queen included Whoppi Goldberg, Bette Midler, Lindsay Lohan and Lady Gaga. See below.

Interesting photo, eh?

This brings a new meaning to "hope you can hold it!"

European no-frills airline RyanAir, which I have had the pleasure (?) of flying myself, is known for it's bare-bones ticket prices.  On their website, you can find flights for under 1 Euro, though with taxes and fees, tickets are usually somewhere around 25 Euro.  Not bad, really.

In order to increase revenues and keep ticket prices low, RyanAir has come up with a plan to begin charging travelers a fee to use the on-board lavatories.  Wow.

Read up about it here, and check out the video on the bottom of the page in which the owner (or someone important) explains RyanAir's plans to begin offering "special features" for their upcoming Transatlantic flights.

Congrats, Minister Sigurdardottir!

The world of politics is constantly changing, and it's for the better.  Many thought we'd never see the day when there was a black man as President of the United States, but it happened.  

Here's another empowering story:  Iceland recently swore in it's first ever female Prime Minister, Johanna Sigurdardottir, who just happens to be the first ever openly gay head of state.  Yeah, ever.  That's pretty awesome.
