My opinion is: Freedom of speech and all that. She's free to make crap, he's free to say he hates it. I hope he realizes he's just giving her lots of great free publicity and attention, though. Perhaps he's hoping enough parents will complain and her videos won't be sponsored.

Didn't watch Gaga's video. From what I read in the link above, it doesn't sound like anything I want my girls ages 13, 16, and 19 to watch. Parenting is about give and take at times. I can't always stop them from watching everything I don't want them to see. Instead of me always having to say no or yes but you need to listen to my views about this before you see, read, or listen to whatever it is...I wish the artists would just choose to make more wholesome art if they are artists who make a lot of money because they generally appeal to kids. So, I'm on the Donny Train here.

Lady Gaga (or Gags, as I call her) is a shock and awe artist, so if we are talking about her, good or bad, she is getting exactly what she wants.

Gags! LOLOL!!

The CD player in the car has been broken for many mos., so, I've been listening to the radio some when there is nothing on talk radio that I want to hear. Gaga's music tends to be kind of catchy to me...to have a good beat and the lyrics are mostly understandable. Until they overplay her songs, I listen to them sometimes.

I don't watch music videos. I did see her on American Idol (?) once. I had never heard of her at that point. I saw her two other times on tv, once she was hanging and covered in fake blood. I didn't care for that.

It's realy like the Clash of the Pop Titans isn't it? And from completely different ends of the spectrum. I don't think Gaga has an obligation to censor herself for the sake of Donnie's kids. If they have access to the internet, I'm sure they've seen plenty of shocking crap already. Kids are pretty smart, we didn't give them enough credit for knowing when art is art and entertainment is just that.

So basically if you were blissfully ignorant of most of what Lady Gaga does, like me, Donny has brought it to my attention. I just watched my first Lady Gaga video.

I was earlier watching Johnny Maestro with the Brooklyn Bridge and the Crests and singing along with Murray Head - Too Much Heaven on Their Minds.

Oh what were we talking about? Lady Gaga? Whatever.

The never-ending saga of Jesse James continues...

Jesse James settled a sexual harassment lawsuit for $700,000 in 2007, but that wasn't the first time his unwanted sexual advances got him in legal trouble.

Deann McClung, a former employee at Jesse's West Coast Choppers shop, filed a lawsuit against him in 2000 for wrongful termination, sexual battery and sexual harassment including groping and using his penis to touch her. Radaronline.com has the court documents:

McClung states, "James' conduct included, but is not limited to, the displaying of pornography in the workplace, making lewd glances towards Plaintiff and other women, sexual comments to and/or about Plaintiff and other women."

McClung states she was groped by James, "James touched and/or attempted to touch Plaintiff's intimate parts including her breasts. In addition, James touched/and or touch Plaintiff with his intimate part including his sexual organ."

This case was settled out of court during Jesse's first marriage to Karla James.

Donny is free to have and state his opinion but if his kids are young he should be monitoring and if they are older, they are going to see and hear what they want to see and hear.

I've lost some respect for Donny since he became a tabloid "entertainment reporter" anyway. I think those shows are probably just as harmful as Lady Gaga and they run on network channels during family viewing hours, not to mention being plugged/teased throughout the day.

Frail Dennis Hopper receives Hollywood star

Actor, 73, appears thin from his battle with prostate cancer

A bandaged and frail Dennis Hopper was surrounded by friends, family and colleagues Friday as he was honored with a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame.

The 73-year-old actor and filmmaker, who is battling prostate cancer, appeared gaunt and was helped to the stage by a friend. He reportedly weighs about 100 pounds now, and his lawyer says he is too weak to continue chemotherapy. Hopper explained that bandages on his right arm and eye were the result of a fall Thursday outside his home after a paparazzi called out his name as he walked outside.

"I thought I recognized the voice, so I kept walking and turned around but I didn't see the little ridgeline in the road and I took a terrible fall because I have no muscle," the actor told reporters. "So I fell directly on my face, and I had my glasses in my hand. I got pretty screwed up," he said.

The two-time Oscar nominee, who has appeared in more than 100 films, said he came to Hollywood from his native Kansas at 18, “so that was my college.” “Everything I’ve learned, I’ve learned from Hollywood,” he said. “This has been my home and my schooling.” As Hopper was speaking, a Hollywood tour bus passed slowly by the sidewalk ceremony and the tour guide said over the loudspeaker, “We love you, Dennis.”

Jack Nicholson, Viggo Mortensen, David Lynch and Dwight Yoakam were among the luminaries on hand to honor their friend and colleague. Nicholson wore a shirt decorated with images from “Easy Rider,” the classic 1969 road film Hopper wrote, directed and starred in, alongside Peter Fonda.

Mortensen, who kissed Hopper on the cheek before approaching the microphone, called his friend of 20 years “a complete and fertile artist” who has been “a constant source of ideas, inspiration and humor for his friends and colleagues.”

Another longtime friend, producer Mark Canton, said Hopper is “the coolest guy on the planet,” which elicited a broad smile from the ailing star. “He is a force of nature,” Canton said. “He is a world-class original, a legend in his own right, whose impact on the arts and people that he loves so dearly is second to none.”

I don't mind Lady Gaga in the least. Even my country DH says her tunes are catchy. I do mind Mr. Osmond telling me I should be offended or trying to make me feel like less of a parent because I am not offended.

I agree with Escapee. I certainly don't want my young grandchildren watching it and control that here. However, I would not want to deny any of her fans enjoying it on the off chance my grandkids might see it.

Hermi, it is funny I read this in here this morning. Just yesterday at work I was talking to a 10th grader and one of my co-worker came out. I don't remember how it started but they started singing Paparazzi together. It was so cute. I think Mr. Osmond is underestimating or maybe unaware of the age range of her fan base.

Oh thanks a lot, folks. Now I have had to watch two long Lady Gaga Youtubes. She is absolutely fascinating. Somebody stop me.

I personally don't like Lady Gaga's music. I think shock is her way of selling records and getting attention.

Thankfully, my daughter doesn't like Lady Gaga.

I like some of her performances. I think she has talent and I enjoy the elaborate costumes and staging. I loved her performance at The Grammy Awards with Elton John. They were the perfect extravagant pair.

I'm so country it's been a long time since I listened to much of anything that wasn't country. I caught one of her performances a while back though, or maybe it was a video. I like her, I think she has oodles of talent. I don't think I would want my grands to look to her for a role model but I try to remember that my mother thought Madonna was horrible and my generation turned out ok. Or so it seems.

I had pretty much the same reaction as Donny, to be honest. I think it's a very 'ugly vulgar' video. But what disappoints me the most is Beyoncé choosing this path in her career. Oh well.

Well, I like Lady Gaga although sometimes I wish she'd tone it down just a tad (a little more clothes, a little less violent tendencies). Remember, way back when, Elvis was thought to be vulgar too.

She's way too desperate for attention. Next thing you know she'll be doing another "Sex" book like Madonna.
