Lady GaGa is rocking the pages of PAPER Magazine!
On putting forth an ideology that suggests it’s possible to feel joy even at the same time as you’re experiencing sorrow: “I will do whatever it takes to make the world dance and smile,” she says. “I want to put out a record that forces people to rejoice even in their saddest moments. And by the way, I’m not standing over here with a flag going, ‘I’m all healed, everything’s perfect.’ It’s not; it’s a fight all the time. I still work on myself constantly. I have bad days, I have good days. Yeah, I live in Chromatica, it took a minute to get here, but that doesn’t mean I don’t remember what happened. So if you’re in pain and listening to this music, just know that I know what it’s like to be in pain. And I know what it’s like to also not let it ruin your life.”

Megan Thee Stallion Scores Court Victory In Legal Battle Against Label 1501 Entertainment!
Megan Thee Stallion lodged a victory in her fraud case against her label 1501 Entertainment and its head, Carl Crawford.
A judge March 13 agreed to extend a temporary restraining order between Meg and 1501 Entertainment, which allowed the “S.U.G.A.” rapper to drop new music earlier this month and required the record label and its associates to immediately stop harassing and threatening her online.
The judge ruled that 1501’s efforts to halt her music release could harm her fledgling career in the music biz, and under the terms of the order, the label had to stop trying to intimidate Megan and her team both online and in-person or trying to dissuade anyone from working with the “Big Ole Freak” rapper.
Megan sued 1501 Entertainment earlier this month, alleging that 1501 was trying to sabotage her budding rap career. She said the label gave her a bad record contract, is jealous of her management deal with Roc Nation and 1501’s associates have been threatening her and her team on social media.
But 1501 fired back, alleging that Megan had no legal right to sue them because the contract that she signed stipulated that any disagreements had to be settled through private arbitration. A judge hasn’t yet ruled on the label’s motion.
Megan’s extended restraining order will stay in effect until after a judge rules on whether Megan’s case will go to trial or be arbitrated behind closed doors, according to court papers.

I think if we all just be a little less selfish and a little more selfless we’re gonna be completely fine.”

Trump wants to send Americans $1,000 checks to cushion virus economic shock!
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump announced a plan on Tuesday to send money to Americans immediately to ease the economic shock from the coronavirus crisis and said military-style hospitals will likely be deployed to virus hot zones to care for patients.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, appearing with Trump in the White House press briefing room, said he was talking with congressional leaders on a plan to send checks immediately to displaced Americans. Trump said some people should get $1,000.
Scrambling to get a grip on an unpredictable virus that has disrupted Americans in all walks of life, Trump predicted the economic challenge will be tough short term but that the economy will eventually rebound.
“We’re going to win and I think we’re going to win faster than people think, I hope,” said Trump, surrounded by top advisers on the coronavirus crisis.
Vice President Mike Pence said the government was urging construction companies to donate N95 face masks to local hospitals and not purchase any more to help doctors.
Pence said the Army Corps of Engineers can deploy field hospitals quickly to help handle the influx of virus patients. Trump said he was looking at sites where they might be needed.
Trump on Monday urged Americans to work diligently for 15 days to try to slow the spread of the virus by avoiding crowds and staying home for the most part.
“We’re asking our older generation to stay in their homes. ... We’re asking the younger generation to stop going out,” said Trump coronavirus adviser Deborah Birx.
The abrupt slowdown has staggered the U.S. airline industry and other economic sectors and has left an increasing number of Americans unemployed.
With markets gyrating and mostly on a downward trend, Mnuchin said the U.S. stock markets should remain open to assure Americans that they can access their money.
“Everybody wants to keep it open. We may get to a point where we shorten the hours, if that’s something they need to do, but Americans should know that we are going to do everything that they have access to their money at their banks, to the money in their 401(k)s, and to the money in stocks,” Mnuchin said.
Trump urged Americans not to travel and said he had not ruled out travel restrictions to parts of the country. He said Americans just “enjoy their living room.”
