Lady Gaga 'Doing Wonderful' After Hip Surgery

Singer's manager says she's 'ready to get back to work.'

Lady GagaDon't worry, Little Monsters: Lady Gaga is recovering and ready to give you new music. Gaga's manager said the singer is "doing wonderful" a month after undergoing hip surgery.
In February, Gaga canceled her Born This Way Ball due to chronic pain from a show injury. On Twitter, she wrote that she'd tried to hide the pain in fear of disappointing her fans, but it had worsened to a point where she could not walk. She underwent surgery on February 20 to mend a "labral tear of the right hip" and was last seen making recovery quite fashionable with her 24-karat gold wheelchair.
Gaga's manager, Vincent Herbert, said in an interview Tuesday that she is "doing unbelievable" and is "ready to get back to work" on her new album, ARTPOP.

On February 21, Gaga posted a big thank you to her fans via her Little Monsters website, writing that the stories of the adversity they'd faced gave her strength during her procedure.
"As they wheeled me into surgery today, I thought about all of your pain and perseverance, your unique family situations, school environments, health issues, homelessness, identity struggles — sometimes you are so brave that it terrifies me. I wonder how it's even possible. So I thought to myself, I'm alive, I'm living my dream, and this is just a bump in the road. I'm grateful because this is temporary, and for some it is not. You have changed my life. I love you and am proud to be a part of your lives. If you can do it, I can do it too, and if we stick together we can get through anything. Love, Gaga."
The tour cancellation also halted the Born Brave Bus, which was on the road in support of Gaga's Born This Way Foundation. The foundation's goal is to inspire bravery and promote self-acceptance among young people, and Gaga described the bus tour as "a fun tailgating experience for Monsters to unite."
However, on March 14, it was announced that the bus was starting back up and embarking on a four-city tour. On Saturday and Sunday, it will stop in New York City's Times Square, and next Wednesday, the bus will park at Chicago's Navy Pier.
As for Gaga herself, she has been working with producers, including newcomer Zedd, on an album that Herbert called "very, very refreshing."
"I can't wait for the world to hear her new music and see her come back healthy, strong and better than ever," he said.

Justin Bieber Vs. Selena Gomez

Justin Bieber Vs. Selena Gomez: Fans Take Sides After 'Letterman' Dis Beliebers strike back after Gomez makes a joke to 'Late Show' host David Letterman about bringing her ex-boyfriend to tears. By Jocelyn Vena (@jocelyn1212) Email More» It was the David Letterman interview heard around the world. When Selena Gomez stopped by "The Late Show" earlier this week, the "Spring Breakers" star teased that just like Letterman before, she too had made her ex Justin Bieber cry. While the audience, and Letterman, found her light-hearted jab pretty funny, not long after her comment went viral, Beliebers hit back. (Both Bieber and Selena have confirmed that they officially split earlier this year.) "Sorry @selenagomez but @justinbieber is respectful and his parents raised him right. He would never embarrass you on National Television," @Misoow18 Mar tweeted in response to her sassy wisecrack. @flyonbieber wrote, "@selenagomez sorry but you lost all of my respect. But wait I can't lose what I never had for you." The onslaught of anti-Selena messages hardly ended there. @iovorauhl added, "@selenagomez you forget that you started your career by hopping around with a purple dinosaur." For those unaware of the reference, Gomez was a child star on "Barney" along with Demi Lovato. But in a sea of anti-Selena comments, her supporters came out and offered up their own take on the incident. ‏@emmashortt_1m wrote, "To be honest, I still like Selena Gomez. Yes, what she said was mean but she's human." One MTV News reader, Bill, was also pro-Selena in the aftermath of her comment, writing, "This all seems pretty simple and up front to me. She is a young woman and quite mature. He is still a little boy with lots of money, but still a little boy, just the same." Other fans, like @TeamGomezHomie4m, seemed ready to move on from the incident. "Life is too short, laugh insanely, love truly and forgive quickly. @selenagomez I LOVE You," the fan wrote, while @Ohflirtybieber9m noted, "You guys are always my idols no matter what happens @justinbieber @selenagomez #promise."
