LADY GAGA is a controversy magnet. Not long after she released her new single Judas, the pop star has incurred the wrath of religious groups.

Take a look at the lyrics of the single and you'd know why. Told from the perspective of Mary Magdelene, it goes: 'In the most Biblical sense/ I am beyond repentance/ Fame hooker, prostitute wench, vomits her mind/ But in the cultural sense/ I just speak in future tense/ Judas kiss me if offensed/ Or wear ear condom next time...'

CHINA'S top actress Vicki Zhao Wei has been photographed dining and shopping with her pop diva friend Faye Wong on many occasions, but dining and shopping are apparently not their favourite pastimes.

Instead, Zhao revealed that they almost always gather to 'fang sheng' these days as both are devout Buddhists.

LONDON - ALTHOUGH the dress for William and Kate's wedding will not be formal - invitations advise men to wear suits rather than top hats and tails - there will be a sea of ladies in hats among the 1,900 people invited to Westminister Abbey, much like the 1981 wedding of Prince Charles and Diana in St. Paul's Cathedral.

Designers say some women began placing their orders when the couple announced their engagement in November. They advise clients to be original, focus on their outfits, forget about the price and don't outdo the bride or royals.
