A Newsdump for 31 August 2011: From Lady Gaga using the men's bogs to The Saturday's love of dogs

  • August 31, 2011
  • Popjustice

» Lady Gaga appar­ently wore a pros­thetic penis and used the men's loo to complete her trans­form­a­tion into Jo Calderone. (Ace Showbiz)

» Katy Perry's broken another chart record in America. (Billboard)

» Will Young thinks winning a TV talent show is like a game of snakes and ladders, which is weird because we'd always assumed it was more of a roller­coaster. (The Sun)

» Florence & The Machine's new album will feature screaming and bits that are more restrained. (NME)

» David Guetta doesn't think he's a star but he does agree that he's changed the sound of radio forever. (Khaleej Times) 

» With a somewhat mis­lead­ing title of Michael Jackson The Immortal, Cirque du Soleil's tribute show 'kicks off' in Montreal on the 2nd October. Still, there's no per­form­ance from Craig David, so what's the point? (The Independent)

» Last night, Kelly Clarkson premiered her new single (which had already leaked but not to worry) and tried to chat with fans before the live stream crashed, but RainOnFire from the forum has sum­mar­ised the high­lights including an unfor­tu­nate fly/coffee cup interface. (Popjustice Forum)

» The Dolly Rockers are taking a well-earned break. (Twitter)

» And finally, The Saturdays would like to remind us that a dog is a pet and not a fashion accessory and that this message is easier to com­mu­nic­ate when sponsored by Nintendo. (Sky News)

THAT WAS some of THE NEWS.
