It is hard to believe that outrageous exhibitionist Lady Gaga was once described as painfully shy by her former manager, Bob Leone. What on earth happened?

I WOKE up with a jolt when my girlfriend called me up wailing on the phone, “Oh my God!

I was a part of 12 celebrities who gathered together to design our very own limited edition MACY sofas for charity. It was really fun!!! We’ve all never done this before.
