On Saturday afternoon, Lady Gaga made a special trip the NAZ foundation care home in Delhi to visit with HIV-positive children. Gaga was there for two hours and answered the kids’ questions, including, “Why do you dress the way you do?” Gaga responded, “I feel it’s me, my personality, who I am.” Gaga also gifted large amounts of food, a 64-inch television and a Playstation.
Orphanage founder Anjali Gopalan raved about the outlandish singer, saying “It was utterly refreshing and surprising. Hardly anyone of her stature has done that before. There was absolutely no hype about her and she comes straight from the heart. Lady Gaga is well-informed about HIV and told the children to take their medicines regularly and eat well so they could stay strong.”

Amy Ray chose Andre 3000 from Outkast and Emily Saliers picked Mary J. Blige. Saliers said, “I don’t think I could sing with her, though. She’s too intimidating. Mary J. Blige or Stevie Wonder, those are the two at the top of my list.”
Actress Scarlett Johansson is Vanity Fair‘s December cover girl. In the upcoming issue, Johansson dishes on her nude photo scandal, her divorce from actor Ryan Reynolds and her ongoing relationship with director Woody Allen. Johansson said, “The only reason why Woody and I are still friends is because I’ve diagnosed all kinds of his skin tags, lesions, ailments. I’ve prescribed things for Woody that he’s then asked his doctor to prescribe for him.” That’s kind of gross.
