Lady Gaga & Miley Cyrus at VMAs
Lady Gaga has taken the MTV Video Music Awards stage covered
in (fake) blood; wearing a dress made of meat and as her male
alter-ego, Jo Calderone. But at the 2013 MTV VMAs, Miley Cyrus
stole Gaga’s outrageous performance crown. While Gaga came
equipped with multiple costume- and wig-changes on her side,
Cyrus took over the stage with gigantic, dancing bears and more
twerking than viewers at home probably knew what to do with.
Miss America crowns 1st winner of Indian descent
She’s the second consecutive New York beauty queen to take the Miss
America title, but she’s the first Indian-American to wear the national crown
atop her perfectly coiffed head. “I was the first Indian Miss New York, and
I’m so proud to be the first Indian Miss America,” Nina Davuluri said after
she won. Davuluri’s resume goes considerably deeper than her heritage,
however. The 24-year-old Fayetteville, New York, native was on the dean’s
list and earned the Michigan Merit Award and National Honor Society nods
while studying at the University of Michigan, where she graduated with a
degree in brain behavior and cognitive science.

Michael Jackson’s Court Battle
Jurors in the Michael Jackson wrongful
death trial have one less question to
decide after the judge issued a partial
directed verdict in favor of Jackson’s
mother. Katherine Jackson has standing
to seek damages against concert promoter
AEG Live in the pop icon’s death because
evidence proved her son provided for
“everything,” including her household
expenses and food, Los Angeles County
Superior Court Judge Yvette Palazuelos
said in a ruling. Lawyers for AEG Live
unsuccessfully argued that Jackson’s elderly
mother could not sue because she was also
supported by daughter Janet Jackson.
