Lady Gaga Debuts “Marry the Night” Teaser, Breaks From Creative Director

The Gaga is back with a new teaser for “Marry the Night,” her fifth Born This Way single. The two-minute clip shows Gaga, accompanied by two nurses, on a gurney in a clinic and has cryptic narration by Mother Monster herself. She proclaims, “Memories are not recycled like atoms and particles in quantum physics. They can be lost forever. It’s sort of like my past is an unfinished painting, and as the artist of that painting, I must fill in all the ugly holes and make it beautiful again. It’s not that I’ve been dishonest; it’s just that I loathe reality.” Look out for the full video on Gaga’s official Vevo. News also broke that the popstar has cut ties with her (now former) creative director, Laurieann Gibson, after disagreements over other recent music videos and the stylistic direction of Gaga’s image.

Justin Bieber Paternity Suit Dismissed

The 20-year-old woman who claimed Justin Bieber was the father of her child reportedly dropped her paternity lawsuit last week. Mariah Yeater claimed to have had a sexual encounter with the Biebz after a Los Angeles concert last fall, and was seeing child support for her son, born earlier this year. Despite the lawsuit, Bieber tore up the charts with his first Christmas full-length, “Under the Mistletoe,” which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200.
