Gaga told that her mother and she had initiated a passion project and together they hope to establish a standard of Bravery and Kindness as well  as a    

                                                                                
community worldwide that protects and nurtures others in the face of bullying and abandonment. Besides, it follows on the singer’s interests in supporting gay rights and being outspoken on issues affecting youth.

Why Rihanna cancelled a concert in Sweden?

Rihanna has canceled a concert in Sweden tonight after being rushed to the hospital. The singer had been scheduled to perform in Malmö, but a representative for Live Nation said that she is "not in condition to conduct the concert" in a statement.

Earlier this afternoon, Rihanna tweeted an apology accompanied by a photograph of her arm with an I.V. tube. The nature of the singer's medical emergency is unclear, but in a tweet she wrote that playing the show "would have been a great time" and "so much better than being sick with the flu."

What Lady Gaga's father did recently?

Lady GaGa's Dad is opening a restaurant named in honour of his late sister Joanne.



   
GaGas and her parents became shareholders in Manhattan's Vince & Eddie's last year, but the Italian-American eatery has since closed down.


 Whateves, it was all for the better cause now, GaGa's dad has now taken over the property and is set to reopen the venue under the new name of Joanne - a nod to his sister, who died of auto-immune disorder Lupus at the age of 19. Aw.  



Sure, we'd would have liked a GaGa themed eatery, but we have no complaints about something this sweet and sentimental!

GaGa's aunt died years before she was even born, but the pop superstar has previously revealed she wears a special necklace in her memory. She said, 



    "My dad's sister Joanne died when she was 19. I wear a birth certificate of hers around my neck... I just feel very close to her. I actually pray to her (before every concert)... She died so young and she didn't get to live out the rest of her life, so I'm living it out for her."

Joe Germanotta is planning to launch the diner during America's Thanksgiving holiday next month with head chef Art Smith.
