Lady Gaga's Meat Bikini in Japanese Vogue

Lady Gaga proves she has raw fashion sense. Posing on the September cover of Vogue Hommes Japan, the 'Poker Face' singer dons nothing but pieces of raw meat strung together to create a bikini.

The carnivorous shoot -- snapped by Terry Richardson -- comes after the magazine revealed images of the pop star in drag as "Jo Calderone." Sporting a platinum blonde bob and scarlet lips, the performer poses with essentially half a cow hanging from her naked body.

Bon appetit!

Of course, PETA isn't pleased with her raw fashion sense. "Oh, Lady Gaga's job is to do outlandish things, and this certainly qualifies as outlandish because meat is something you want to avoid putting on or in your body," PETA's President, Ingrid Newkirk, told the Daily News.

Gaga's magazine cover is also accompanied by the new issue of Japanese Men's Vogue, which features an interview and photo spread with the singer's male alter ego, Jo Calderone. In the interview, Calderone claims to be a friend of Gaga's, as well as her occasional lover.

"I met her at a shoot [photographer] Nick Knight was doing," Calderone told the mag. "She's f***ing beautiful, and funny, and interesting. I was a little nervous for Nick to start shooting. She said, 'Don't be baby, you were born this way.' I took her out after. The rest is private."

'The Situation's" Kindergarten picture

After his glorious/terrible family turtleneck photo went big online, it was only a matter of time until we got to see more of Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino as a youngster.

And boy, was it worth the wait. The 'Jersey Shore' star is shown in all his youthful glory at RadarOnline.com, including his kindergarten photo (right), his eighth grade graduation picture and a shot from a karate tournament.

Sorrentino's siblings, Marc and Melissa, are also shown in the photos. A family friend told Radar, "Their mom, Linda, always liked to dress the boys impeccably. Mike always dressed for the ladies even at a young age."

'Beetlejuice' actor dies

Actor Glenn Shadix, best known for his role as Otho the interior decorator in the '80s cult favorite, 'Beetlejuice,' died this morning, The Birmingham News reports. The actor died following a fall at his home in Birmingham, Alabama, his sister, Susan Gagne, told the newspaper.

Gagne revealed that her brother was "having mobility problems" in recent years and had likely fallen out of his wheelchair and "hit his head in the kitchen." She thinks the hit to the head was responsible for his death. The character actor was 58.

In addition to 'Beetlejuice,' Shadix starred in two more Tim Burton films over the years: he was the voice of the mayor in 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' and played Senator Nado in Burton's 2001 remake of 'Planet of the Apes.' He also had small roles in 'Heathers,' 'Demolition Man' and 'Multiplicity.' Prior to retiring from Hollywood, Shadix did voice over work for many years.

Shadix's sister said the actor retired four years ago and returned to Birmingham to be closer to his family. He is survived by his sister, Gange, and spouse Jon Jong.

Card Skimmer Update

Well as many of you might remember my bank card was highjacked by Card Skimmers just a while back.
I'm pleased to announce that the Queens, District Attorney's office has caught the people involved and are prosecuting them.
I received a call from their offices while I was on vacation in FL and was all but happy to assist them in any way possible. So I rushed to the Staples to complete the paperwork they sent to me and faxed it back with a quickness! Came home today and received a letter from Bank of America confirming that the $500 credit they gave me will remain. Talk about a plan coming together - SO GLAD THE BAD GUYS WERE CAUGHT!
