Lady Gaga for minister?
She’s always pledged that she does everything for her fans, and now Lady Gaga will literally practice what she preaches. The always-eccentric singer is training to be an ordained minister so she can marry gay fans onstage!
The ‘Alejandro’ singer has long been a vocal supporter of gay rights and when Proposition 8 was overturned earlier this year, she took to her Twitter page to say “Bubble dreams forever! Full equality! This is just the beginning!”
Meanwhile, the controversial star also insists that she doesn’t care about money. According to Gaga, "I spent every dollar I made on my music, my art. Every dollar. I don't wait to get budgets from the label. I do it on my own. I don’t give a f**k about money.”
She continues, "Pop music is commercial art the way Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s soup cans were commercial art. I don’t know why everyone is so against pop music. I love a good chorus – sue me.”

Over the Teacups
My four-year-old grandson was at the supermarket with his mother when he exclaimed, “You’re buying something, Mummy, auntie is buying something – I want to buy something!” Mum replied, “You have to be big, have a wife, have a job, then you can buy things.” He replied, “I have a wife – Maia,” meaning his four-year-old friend. Mum said, “What about a job?” Master Four replied, “My job is having a wife!”

Water you want?
I was in the car and asking Master Three what he wanted for Christmas. He said he was going to ask Santa for a water pistol. “And Nanny,” he added, “I’m going to ask for some water for our paddling pool.” Now that could be interesting!

Bee gone
Master Three had his first bee sting recently. The incident broke his heart, but after many cuddles he came right. Later he said, “I never want to see another bee again. I don’t like bees any more, I only like flies.”

Fraud with worry
My daughter warned me that “old people are being taken for a ride,” and that I shouldn’t engage in conversation with phone sales people. To this, Master Five piped up, “Nana can’t go on that ride, she’s old.”
