Lady Gaga was seeing stars on Sunday in New Zealand -- and not in a good way. Performing in a concert in Auckland, New Zealand, the pop singer, 26, was struck in the head with a pole (a set prop) -- but despite suffering a concussion, the star continued the show. An amateur online video reveals the scary incident, in which a backup dancer accidentally bonks the "Judas" singer on the head with the pole while removing it from the center stage. Gaga (real name: Stefani Germanotta) is seen staggering backwards after getting hit; she then chases after the dancer with a toy machine gun and briefly exits the stage. Her makeup artist, Tara Savelo, tweeted Monday: "Gaga has a concussion but she is going to be okay ... cant believe she finished the show."

roadway celebrated itself Sunday night – and crowned Once and playwright Bruce Norris's Clybourne Park as the season's best musical and drama, in a star-studded evening that third-time host Neil Patrick Harris called "the 66th annual Tony Awards, or, as we like to call it, Fifty Shades of Gay." Clybourne Park, which also won a 2011 Pulitzer Prize, takes its cues from Lorraine Hansberry's 1959 play A Raisin in the Sun, about developments in the Chicago suburb after the Younger family has moved in and moved on. The best play Tony was that show's only win; it was bested in the straight play category by Peter and the Starcatcher, a kind of prequel to Peter Pan, which won five.

Another "Jersey Shore" star has been arrested.This time it's Deena Cortese, who was arrested on June 10 in New Jersey town. Cortese was arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct, according to the Associated Press. Cortese, 25, appeared intoxicated and was slapping cars in the middle of the street as they drove by. The reality star was taken to police headquarters, according to the wire service, and released on a summons. "Jersey Shore" recently began shooting its latest season in Seaside Heights. Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi had a similar arrest during filming of the series in 2010 for disturbing the peace, disorderly conduct and criminal annoyance of others. Later that year, she was sentenced to play a $500 fine and community service for the disturbing the peace charge after the other two charges were dropped. Polizzi, 24, made headlines on June 9 after her nude photos leaked online. The reality star's spokesperson said the photos were "old and personal" and "were not meant for the public." Snooki is currently expecting her first child with fiance Jionni LaValle. She revealed in May that she would be having a baby boy and shared a photo of her growing baby bump. Snooki announced her pregnancy and engagement to boyfriend Jionni LaValle in March. MTV announced on March 19 that it picked up "Jersey Shore" for a sixth season and that all the cast members will return. The new season is filming in the show's original location of Seaside Heights, New Jersey. It has filmmed three previous seasons in that location. Polizzi will soon appear with her "Jersey Shore" co-star Jenni "JWoww" Farley in their reality spin-off called "Snooki & JWoww." That show premieres on June 21 at 10 p.m. on MTV

BANGKOK (AP) -- Lady Gaga has met Thailand's premier "lady boys" at a Bangkok drag show featuring busty dancers who were not born that way. Diving in to the city's nightlife, the pop diva and an entourage from her "Born This Way Ball" took in a show at the well-known Calypso Cabaret, where she cheered on a transvestite review of Broadway show tunes. "A million people have to pay to see a Gaga concert, but Gaga paid to see our show!" cabaret manager Nipon Boonmasuwan told Friday's Thairath newspaper. When the performance ended, she took the stage to shake hands with the dancers and handed out six tickets to her Friday night show. Born This Way, the title track of Lady Gaga's latest album, has become a gay anthem. It includes the line, "Don't be a drag, just be a queen." Transvestites and transsexuals are known in Thailand as lady boys. Promoters confirmed Lady Gaga visited the cabaret Wednesday night, just hours after her arrival in Bangkok. Lady Gaga's Asian tour has generated publicity and often controversy at nearly every stop. In Seoul, fans younger than 18 were banned from Lady Gaga's concerts after Christian groups complained that her lyrics and costumes were too sexually provocative. It remains unclear if her June 3 show in Jakarta will take place after Muslim hard-liners threatened violence. Indonesian police initially denied a permit but later hinted the show could go on if she tones it down. Not a chance, said her manager Troy Carter, who told the Straits Times in Singapore on Friday that Lady Gaga "plays the show as it is" and has no plan to self-censor.

Beyoncé admits that she is "nervous" about performing a string of shows this weekend at Atlantic City's Revel Resort, her first since giving birth to daughter Blue Ivy Carter. "It is exciting. I'm a little nervous though," says Beyoncé, in a slickly-produced video called "The Making of a Concert: Part 1" posted to the star's Web site today. "It's like going back to my old job. It's a little strange. But it's important that you don't lose yourself and you still have your own passions. I'm back to work. I'm back to business." The video begins with a montage of the star, as assorted newscasters discuss the high expectations for her upcoming shows. After an interview with the songstress in her home, she is shown sans makeup, in dance rehearsals. Sitting cross-legged on the floor, Beyoncé tells her creative team, "What I'm trying to say with this show is, 'Yes I had a baby and it made me even more grounded and more like you." The miniature documentary also reveals Beyoncé in a musical arrangement rehearsal, singing "Halo." "You know I haven't sung in a year," says Beyoncé, getting excited as she hits the notes while accompanied by a keyboard. While most new moms are kept up at night by crying babies, Beyoncé admits in the video that she hasn't been sleeping because of her nerves over the shows.

Sitting on the floor in an office, amid a pile of sprawled papers, Beyoncé says, "This is why I didn't sleep night. This is why I went to sleep at 5:30 in the morning." Beyoncé's first show will be tonight.

Pregnancy cravings have kicked in full force for Molly Sims — and for the mom-to-be it’s dessert time that seems to take the cake. “Yesterday I had three desserts. I literally had a Sprinkles red velvet cupcake, this little piece of Marzipan bundt cake, and sorbet,” Sims, 38, tells PEOPLE during Kishani Perera‘s Vintage Remix book launch Wednesday in West Hollywood, Calif. “Oh, that’s right, and I had some frozen yogurt: cake batter with graham cracker crust.” But Sims isn’t sweating all her little splurges throughout the day; She is “totally” loving the freedom of indulging her sweet tooth as she awaits the arrival of her baby boy in June. “It’s amazing because you know that old saying, ‘You’re just a stomach flu away from a size two?’ I’m 12 stomach flus away from a size two now and you know what? It’s okay,” she says.

Scores of conservative South Korean Christians will pray together on Sunday against Lady Gaga's Seoul concert, organisers said, accusing the US pop star of advocating homosexuality and pornography. The pop diva arrived in South Korea on Friday, a week before her Seoul performance which kicks off her "Born This Way Ball Global Tour." About 300 Protestant church members will gather in downtown Seoul Sunday night to hold a group prayer against the concert in the capital, Kang Ju-Hyun, a prayer organiser told AFP. "We will pray to God that the concert will not be realised so that homosexuality and pornography will not spread around the country," he said. Kang, who leads a group called Alliance for Sound Culture In Sexuality, said other major church groups would join his campaign by holding protests around the Seoul headquarters of Hyundai Card, the concert organiser. The Korean Association of Church Communication vowed last month to take "concerted action to stop young people from being infected with homosexuality and pornography." Kang's group last week put out street banners in Seoul accusing the eccentric singer of "spreading unhealthy sexual culture" through "lewd lyrics and performances," before they were removed by the city officials. South Koreans aged under 18 have been banned from the much-anticipated concert after it was rated unsuitable for younger audiences.

Unforgettable's Daya Vaidya is pregnant with identical twin boys. "Yes, I'm having identical twin boys in July! Just got back from an ultrasound and they're looking good! Soooo happy!" the actress, who plays Nina on the CBS crime drama, tweeted on Wednesday. Vaidya, 38, and her husband, Don Wallace, are already parents to 2 1/2-year-old Leela Grace.

Justin Bieber decided to taunt Mariah Yeater, the woman who claimed to be the mother to Bieber’s baby. Bieber took to twitter with the following post. “Dear mariah yeeter [sic]…we have never met…so from the heart i just wanted to say…” with a link that directed users to a clip of the Sacha Baron Cohen character Borat saying, “You will never get this, you will never get this, la la la la la.” Yeater claimed that when Bieber was 16 he had sex with her backstage at one of his concerts. Bieber adamantly denied there was any possibility of that happening and took a paternity test to prove it. Yeater, through her lawyer, defended the allegations but as soon as the results of his paternity test came in she dropped her lawsuit. There was a lot of speculation as to why Yeater went after Bieber if the allegations weren’t true. There are several plausible explanations that have surface. The first was that she was ashamed to admit she was pregnant by her then boyfriend so she made up the story about Bieber to calm her parents down. They decided to escalate the situation and she was then too embarrassed to admit she was lying.
