Gaga took the stage in a wavy blonde wig, red lipstick and said it was her “first real Marilyn moment.”
“I always wanted to have one, and I was hoping that it didn’t involve pills and a strand of pearls,” Gaga joked. Good one.

"Rebuilding housing for more than 1 million people displaced by the earthquake will take time, as teams on the ground continue to clear rubble and build infrastructure, including water and sanitation systems," President Clinton said. "In the interim, our commitment to the Petionville camp, managed by J/P HRO, will ensure the 55,000 people living there, including many children, can access health care, education, and job training services until families are able to move into more permanent homes."
Penn said in a statement to People, "The support of President Clinton and the Clinton Foundation is an extraordinary boost in our organization's ability to continue its work in Haiti. From the beginning the Clinton Foundation staff and leadership have generously shared expertise and essential logistical support."
Amazing work, guys!

The mag claims Clinton’s was a "personal call to offer encouragement." Clinton has been friends with Tiger and his wife Elin since 2006. And as you may recall, the former prez knows a thing or two about being in the middle of a public sex scandal.
As for Obama, the magazine quotes him as saying, "I'm a strong believer that anybody can look within themselves, find their flaws and fix them.”
Perhaps the biggest supporter of Tiger Woods right now is his own mother. She’s quoted as saying, "Since a little boy, Tiger always loved competition -- he born with that. So he will face himself, solve the problem, and when he comes back, he will still love to play and love to win. I think more than ever, because his closet will be cleaned out and his mind will be free.”
Elin, on the other hand, is still keeping her distance. Even with Tiger back in rehab, she reportedly hasn’t moved back into the family home. A source tells Radar, “She’s put the divorce on hold, but she’s not caving in and doing everything he wants. It looks like they will stay married -- but I don’t know what kind of marriage it’s going to be.”
Time will tell what will come of both his marriage and his career!

Clinton was transported to Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan to be treated late this afternoon.
His wife Hillary Clinton was reportedly seen leaving the Oval Office but was not "in a rush," reports Fox News.
ABC News' chief political correspondent George Stephanopoulos reported that sources said he was taken to the hospital "likely for a stent procedure."
Clinton had quadruple bypass surgery at the same hospital four and a half years ago.
UPDATED: Bill's spokesperson Douglas Band just released the following statement:
"Today President Bill Clinton was admitted to the Columbia Campus of New York Presbyterian Hospital after feeling discomfort in his chest," his spokesperson, Douglas Band, said in a statement.
"Following a visit to his cardiologist, he underwent a procedure to place two stents in one of his coronary arteries. President Clinton is in good spirits, and will continue to focus on the work of his Foundation and Haiti's relief and long-term recovery efforts."
A stent is a metal mesh tube that opens an artery to improve blood flow. He was originally scheduled to go to the hospital on Wednesday but postponed it until Thursday, according to MSNBC. Glad to hear he's doing well!

DiCaprio’s donation will be disbursed through the Leonardo DiCaprio Fund, which fosters awareness of environmental issues, will help with immediate relief efforts as well as with longer-term redevelopment and infrastructure projects, including a focus towards sustainable development.
As a result, the two Presidents established CBHF to respond to unmet needs in the country, foster economic opportunity, improve the quality of life over the long term for those affected, and assist the people of Haiti as they rebuild their lives and “build back better.”
Former US president Bill Clinton – who set up the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund (CBHF) with another ex-president, George W Bush – said: "I am grateful for the generous gift Leonardo DiCaprio and his Foundation have made in support of our Clinton Bush Haiti Fund around the world of all means, this support will go a long way to help save more lives, reach more people with emergency assistance, and help the Haitian people build their nation back stronger and more secure than it was before the earthquake."
Other big name celebrities that have donated big chunks of money include, George Clooney, Sandra Bullock, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Wyclef Jean and John Travolta.
We're very happy to see that celebs are not just using their voice to help but they are also reaching into their pockets to help the victims of this disaster.

The White House has made no comment about Clinton’s trip, except for the following statement by Press Secretary Robert Gibbs: "While this solely private mission to secure the release of two Americans is on the ground, we will have no comment. We do not want to jeopardize the success of former President Clinton's mission.”
"It's a little sensitive. We will have more to say on this hopefully later on."
Clinton arrived in Pyongyang early Tuesday and met with North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il to talk about the two journalists, who were arrested after straying into the country while they were reporting on the Chinese-North Korean border. Ling and Lee were later convicted and sentenced to 12 years hard labor.
The pardons were announced by North Korea's state-run news agency, who called it a sign of North Korea's "humanitarian and peace loving policy.”
What an unbelievable mission! We can’t imagine how Laura Ling and Euna Lee are feeling right now. More details to come!
UPDATE:
Former President Clinton is already on a plane back to the U.S. "They were seen off at the airport by Yang Hyong Sop, vice-president of the Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly, and Kim Kye Gwan, vice-minister of Foreign Affairs," reports KCNA news agency. The agency despatch did not mention the two journalists.
