On Thursday, Lady Gaga released the opening lines from her new song “Born This Way” as a thank-you to fans’ support on Twitter. “Thank God 4 Gaga is trending?! More like Thank God 4 Monsters,” she wrote. “Maybe I should leak the lyrics to ‘Born This Way’ today, whatddya say?”
“Don’t Be a Drag, Just Be a Queen”
“No matter gay, straight or bi, lesbian, transgendered life
I’m on the right track baby, I was born to survive.”
“Give yourself prudence, and love your friends, subway kid rejoice your truth.
In the religion of the insecure I must: be myself, respect my youth”
“I love my life, I love this record and mi ‘amore vole fe’ yah (love needs faith)”
“A different lover is not a sin, believe capital H-I-M”
“My mama told me when I was young, We are all born superstars.
She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on, in the glass of her boudoir”

Miley Cyrus Two-Time Worst Influence Award Winner
Each year they ascribe the title of Worst Influence to a celebrity, and AOL’s JSYK website has named Miley Cyrus to the top of the list for a second year in a row.
The “Hannah Montana” babe beat Lindsay Lohan, Demi Lovato, Kanye West, and Chace Crawford to end up in the dubious #1 slot.
There’s no doubt Miley’s scandalous salvia smoking session and her almost-flashing photographs from a gay bar had something to do with the ranking.
Cyrus garnered 58% of JSYK’s 99,000 votes, most of which came from their target 9-to-15-year-old demographic.

Justin Bieber rumored to star in "Captain Canuck" movie
Now that a certain masked Canuck is dominating the worldwide box office in 'The Green Hornet,' it looks like another Canadian hero could soon be coming to theaters (and theatres!) near you.
According to a recent report in the L.A. Times, Captain Canuck, the red-and-white protector of the Great White North, may be getting his own movie. Richard Comely, creator of the proudly Canadian superhero, claims to be close to a deal with a Canadian production company -- he didn't say which -- to produce a live-action movie about his cordial crimefighter. At $15 million, the reported budget would come to approximately the cost of craft services for Marvel's $140 million 'Captain America' blockbuster, but Comely is thinking outside the box to boost his Captain's worldwide potential.
Most notably, he's appealing to another Canadian who's made a successful crossover: none other than Justin Bieber, whose signature swoop is likely far more recognizable south of the border than Captain Canuck's red and white.
For those of you unfamiliar with the maple leaf-costumed hero (or for hockey fans who may be confusing him with Vancouver Canucks captain Henrik Sedin), Captain Canuck was created in 1975 as Canada's answer to Captain America. Though he's seen various incarnations over his 30-plus years, the original Captain was a mild-mannered Mountie when a mysterious alien encounter granted him superhuman speed and strength. He then became a special agent and put his powers to good use protecting the nation, which, by the then-futuristic 1993 had become the most powerful country in the world.
Had Comely's prediction come true, he wouldn't have to worry about how to attract an American audience to his uniquely Canadian superhero movie. But Comely told the Hollywood Reporter he may have to consider changing the title for the film to have a chance in the U.S. market. Captain North America, perhaps? In another shrewd marketing move, Comely says he's planning on writing in a part for Canada's current largest export, Justin Bieber, whose powers may include a superhuman ability to make tween girls swoon and empty their parents' wallets.
It remains to be seen just how feasible a live-action Captain Canuck movie would be -- with or without the Bieb -- and the property has been optioned for film or TV several times over the years to no avail. Still, with moviegoers' interest in superheroes at an all-time high and Canadians in demand for crimefighter casting, the stars may finally be aligned for Captain Canuck. Is the movie world ready for its first "polite" and "gentler" superhero? We're about to find out... Captain America, you're officially on notice.

Nicki Minaj's 'Moment 4 Life' Video To Premiere Thursday On MTV
On Thursday, Nicki Minaj will reveal her long-awaited "Moment 4 Life" video on MTV. The clip, which was shot in December in Los Angeles, features Young Money labelmate Drake and is rumored to show the pair playing up their "are they or aren't they?" relationship with a kiss.
The "Moment 4 Life" clip will premiere at 7:54 p.m. ET on MTV.
When MTV News' Sway spoke to Drake on the set of "Moment 4 Life," the MC compared the success of his and Minaj's debut albums to Weezy's opening-week sales of Tha Carter III, saying each subsequent project further cemented the collective's status.
"I think it's crazy that somehow, some higher power brought all these individuals together," Drake said. "I remember being on the [tour] bus when Wayne played me Tha Carter III, which went on to sell a million copies in one week. Then it was Thank Me Later. It was this big pressure, and that went on to sell what it did.
"And now," he continued, "to think of the girl that I used to ride the bus with — and that's what she was to me: this girl that I rode the bus with. I was like, 'Female rap?' And I'm being dead honest with you. [I thought,] 'Man, it's been a while since there's been a female rapper, and I'm curious to see how this works.' It's not that I didn't believe. And she was probably looking at me like, 'This Jew from Canada: I don't know.' "
And now, after the successful debut of Pink Friday, the Toronto lyricist said he couldn't be happier for Minaj.
"It's amazing now to see her come into her own, build this brand and persona," he said. "It's incredible."

Can Florence Welch Take On Justin Bieber at the Grammys?
The 2011 Grammys are still a few weeks away, but English indie rocker Florence Welch of Florence + the Machine is already pumped.
"I'm so excited!" she gushed to E! News during an interview at the Sundance Film Festival. But when the Justin Bieber was mentioned as a possible rival for Best New Artist (an award he won at the VMAs), Welch showed no signs of being nervous. Is she ready?
"I am just really happy to be nominated and to go out there and just see what happens." Ah, classic English modesty. But awards competition aside, the two stars have more in common than they think.
She may not have been discovered on YouTube, but like Bieber she had to prove herself in somewhat smaller venues before her big break. Welch went from singing in little pubs in London to wowing us all with her performance at last year's MTV Video Music Awards.
And as she told us, it's those small performances that transformed her into such a showstopper.
"I was always pretty loud. I think that was part of it...where the style of singing came from, having to get people's attention," Welch said. "Everyone's talking and drinking and you kind of really have to command the room. I kind of learned actually how to control it more and now what's lucky is people are already listening and I don't have to shout to get their attention."

Nicki Minaj Doesn't Think Kids Should Listen To Her Music
Nicki Minaj worries about being a role model for young fans.
She explained, "Being honest, if I had a daughter I wouldn't want her listening to a Nicki Minaj CD until she was a certain age. Even when I meet my fans and they tell me they are 12, I cringe a little. I always say, 'Listen. I don't want you saying the bad words, put school first.'"
Rapper Rick Ross, rocker Travis Barker and Nicki will reportedly join Lil Wayne on his comeback tour. The Lollipop hit-maker will launch the 25-date I Am Music II trek with a show in Buffalo, New York on March 18th, before hitting the stage in cities including Cleveland, Ohio; Chicago, Illinois; Miami, Florida and Atlanta, Georgia.
