KADY GAGA ATO VIDEO YA DON'T ASK DON'T TELL Lady Gaga Releases Anti-'Don't Ask Don't Tell' Video
Lady Gaga Lady Gaga posted a seven-and-a-half minute video on her website this morning (Sept. 17) to express her opposition against the U.S. Armed Forces' "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy and to encourage politicians and fans alike to vote for the Defense Authorization Bill, which includes language that would repeal the policy, next week.
"'Don't Ask Don't Tell' is a law that was created in 1993 that prevents gays from serving openly in the military. Since then, 14,000 Americans have been discharged from the armed forces, refused the right to serve their country and sent home, regardless of honorable service or how valuable they were to their units," Gaga explains in clip.
"SLDN's [Servicemembers Legal Defense Network] advocacy proves that these soldiers are being searched, superiors are going through their e-mails and private belongings, calling family members and operating based on assumptions," she continues. "Ultimately, the law is being enforced using gay profiling and gay soldiers have become targets. In short, not only is the law unconstitutional, but it's not even being properly enforced by the government."
Gaga continues by sharing anecdotes of those military soldiers who have been affected by the law and providing information on how viewers can contact their senators about the Defense Authorization Bill. In showing solidarity, Gaga calls the offices of her senators, New York Democrats Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, but isn't able to speak with or leave messages for either.
"I have called both of the senators that operate in my district," she says. "I will not stop calling until I reach them and I can leave them this message: 'I am a constituent of the senator, my name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, also known as Lady Gaga. I'm calling to ask the senator to vote with Senators Harry Reid and Carl Levin to repeal 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' and oppose John McCain's shameless filibuster. We need to do this for our gay and lesbian soldiers, and finally repeal 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell.' "
In the end, she encourages her fans to try calling again after 9am tomorrow (Sept. 18) morning, assuring, "I'll be on the phone, too."

Foxy Brown Struts Her Stuff During Fashion Week

Foxy Brown Foxy Brown helped rev the crowd after the Incubator fashion show at Capitale in NYC this
Sporting a form-fitting white dress and Lil' Kim-esque blue contacts, Brown strutted down the runway after models showed off the new YFC by Yellow Fever collection by Jamison Ernest. The hip-hoptress shook hands with members of the front row as she spit rhymes and shook her stuff for the camera.
Though the performance was short, Brown was pictured sitting with rap mogul Russell Simmons at the show and at one point got pretty up-close and personal with "America's Next Top Model" judge André Leon Talley - who seemed less than pleased with the contact.
The performance comes one week after Brown entered a plea of "Not Guilty" in relation to a court order violation that stemmed from a domestic dispute with her Brooklyn neighbor.
