Ta-Ta, Lady Gaga: Pop Star Calling Media Timeout, Will Stop Doing Interviews
Lady Gaga has always created lots of noise with her loud fashion statements and outspoken opinions.
But here's some noisemaking news you probably didn't see coming: She's now planning to keep silent.
In an upcoming interview with Oprah Winfrey, the pop star reveals that she'll be pulling the plug on press interviews for the foreseeable future and taking a self-imposed vow of silence.
Speechless?
Here's what she had to say...
Bobby Brown's Whitney Houston Tell-All? Source: "Completely Self-Serving!"
Bobbi Kristina wanted to partake in Oprah's televised special because—she said—she wanted people to know the truth about Whitney Houston, saying, "She wasn't only a mother, she was a best friend."
A touching memory, of course. But Whitney's ex-husband and recent headline generator Bobby Brown might be opening up and sharing secrets about the late songstress for the wrong reasons. And, sources close to Whitney worry the full story might not be a priority either:

Oprah Winfrey said as she opens the show, "Those closest to Whitney have remained silent...until tonight."
That's the talk show host's dramatic start to her exclusive sit-down with the late Whitney Houston's family, including her daughter Bobbi Kristina, brother Gary and sister-in-law Patricia, who was the legendary singer's trusted manager, friend and one of the last people to see Whitney alive.
During the 90-minute special, Whitney's family members opened up about their memories of the singer, her relationship with Bobby Brown and what they claim really happened the day she died. Plus, Oprah asks about Whitney's behavior in the days leading up to her death, Bobby leaving the funeral early and Whitney's drug use.

We told you there'd be more.
And with the momentum building now that Oprah's intimate interview with Whitney Houston's family, including Bobbi Kristina, will air Sunday night, we can't help but notice a few of Whit's key family members have begun to hint at what they believe really brought on the diva's untimely death.
And after watching the sneak peek clip, it appears Patricia Houston, Whitney's sister-in-law, strongly disapproved of something else besides Whitney's alleged drug use:

It's no secret Whitney Houston's ex, Bobby Brown, has tried to cash in on the late legend before, mainly by peddling a book a few years ago.
Sources tell us Bobby's back to his old cash-divining ways, and he's now looking for another publisher. Additionally, we're told a very rich media conglomerate is very busy trying to get Bobby to talk on TV:

Oprah Winfrey's big get is inching ever closer to its big premiere, but while her sit-down with Whitney Houston's family, including daughter Bobbi Kristina, doesn't air until Sunday, E! Online has a first look at the interview.
Among the family members in line for an emotional outpouring is Patricia Houston, Whitney's sister-in-law and onetime manager. Though obviously devastated by the untimely death, Patricia also made no attempt to hide the fact that she always suspected a premature and tragic end to Whitney's life.

Things may be looking up for Oprah Winfrey's ratings-challenged OWN cable channel.
The media mogul is set to interview the late Whitney Houston's only daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown in her first interview since the death of her iconic mom.

Lady Gaga Goes to Harvard With Oprah Winfrey, Launches Born This Way Foundation
What better place than Harvard for Lady Gaga to take the world to school?!
The pop superstar, her mother Cynthia and the mother of all talk show hosts, Oprah Winfrey, were at the Ivy League university's Sanders Theatre to officially launch Gaga's Born This Way Foundation.
Which, contrary to the singer's reputation as a fervent antibullying advocate, is not an antibullying charity. And no, Oprah, the three pillars of the organization are not "bravery, acceptance and love."
