For those who “prefer to be vilified,” Timex has just unveiled a hauntingly chic new watch collection in collaboration with the hit Netflix series Wednesday, and it’s just the right amount of creepy and kooky.

The lineup features three distinct designs: a shadowy silhouette of Wednesday herself, a darker, edgier model with a small skull in the corner, and a bold tribute to the...

Lady Gaga delivered a blast of glammed-up gothic horror with her performance of “Abracadabra” at Netflix’s Tudum live event this past weekend in Los Angeles.

Gaga took the stage for an eight-minute performance, and right after, Netflix shared the first six minutes of the long-awaited new season of Wednesday. To match the Addams Family mood, Gaga performed a special three-song set of horror-tinged tunes starting with Mayhem’s “Zombieboy” before going into her Born This Way favorite, “Bloody Mary.”

The performance closed with “Abracadabra,” the lead single from Mayhem,...

Netflix has no shortage of iconic hits and shows that have become a cultural phenomenon today. Shows like Bridgerton and Stranger Things have garnered global acclaim. Coming on the heels of such shows is Wednesday. Created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, the show is based on the character Wednesday Addams by Charles Addams.

A darkly comedic take on the iconic tale of the Addams family, the show has captivated audiences since its debut in November 2022. While it was Jenna Ortega’s brilliant portrayal of Wednesday that garnered attention, over time its supporting characters have started gaining similar traction.

Blending gothic aesthetics, sharp wit, and supernatural intrigue all into one, the show is helmed by the visionary Tim Burton, becoming one of the most-watched English-language series on the streaming giant. Now a global sensation, amassing millions of views, the show has gained a fan following even from people in the industry.

Netflix unveiled the opening six minutes of Wednesday’s Season 2 during its Tudum event Saturday, and revealed Lady Gaga’s role on the much-anticipated second season.

The clip lays down the foundation for Season 2, with Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday Addams on the hunt for (and the prisoner of) a notorious serial killer dubbed the Kansas City Scalper, played by Haley Joel Osment:

The first half of Wednesday’s second season premieres on the streaming service on August 6

“I think the most fun about this was asking, ‘What would Wednesday do during her summer vacation?...

Lady Gaga closed Netflix’s Tudum 2025 showcase at the Kia Forum in Inglewood on May 31, stepping from a velvet-lined coffin into strobing lights to deliver a three-song medley—“Zombieboy,” “Bloody Mary” and “Abracadabra”—before leading dancers dressed as Wednesday Addams through the TikTok-famous routine that propelled “Bloody Mary” back onto the charts in 2022.

Mid-performance the singer confirmed she will appear in Wednesday’s second season as Rosaline Rotwood, a legendary Nevermore Academy teacher, an announcement Netflix echoed across its social feeds in real time. Entertainment Weekly reports that Rotwood’s arc unfolds in Part 2 of the season, premiering September 3.

Series co-creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, who joined the Tudum stage earlier in the broadcast, promised “horror-movie-worthy moments” while unveiling the first six minutes, which place Jenna Ortega’s heroine in a candle-lit chase with a masked killer. Millar added that “nothing is what it seems” at Nevermore this year,...

Lady Gaga, the one and only “monster queen,” rose out of her coffin to perform a rousing medley of tunes that were very much on-theme with Wednesday, closing out Netflix’s Tudum with a nod to her newly confirmed role in the highly anticipated second season of the Jenna Ortega YA drama.

The Emmy, Grammy and Oscar winner took the stage at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum following the premiere of the first six minutes of Wednesday Season 2, which also showcased new cast member Haley Joel Osment, who plays a serial killer infinitely more likely to be a victim than the eponymous macabre teen he has kidnapped.

Beginning her performance at the streamer’s annual event, Gaga stepped out from a vertical coffin amid a sea of background dancers dressed in the vein of Gomez Addams (Luis Guzmán), singing track “Zombieboy” off of her recently released Mayhem, critically acclaimed and largely...

Netflix’s hit Wednesday released the opening scene of its highly anticipated second season — and officially announced Lady Gaga as joining the cast.

The streamer for the first time confirmed the singer-actress is joining the little monsters at Nevermore Academy, playing a still undisclosed guest role on the upcoming season of the hit series, which stars Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams as she attends a school for outcasts with unusual abilities.

The news was announced at Netflix’s Tudum fan event at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles Saturday, where Lady Gaga took the stage for a climactic — and Wednesday-themed — performance. Emerging from a coffin with the words “Here lies the monster queen” on the lid and backed by a cadre of Addams Family-esque dancers, Gaga performed “Zombieboy” from her recently released album Mayhem.

“Wednesday” Season 2 got a huge spotlight during Netflix’s Tudum fan event Saturday, unveiling details for Lady Gaga and Haley Joel Osment’s guest star roles in the process.

Gaga, who was first reported to join the cast of the Netflix horror comedy in November, will guest star as Rosaline Rotwood, a legendary professor at Nevermore who crosses paths with Wednesday (Jenna Ortega). She will make her debut in Part 2 of Season 2, set for release Sept. 3.

The singer celebrated the announcement with a performance during the event in Los Angeles, performing “Zombieboy” from her latest album. Star Jenna Ortega joined Gaga on stage for “Abracadabra.”

YouTube is an anomaly in the TV upfronts: Unlike other networks and streamers, it doesn’t present a big slate of new programming to whet Madison Avenue’s appetite for buying ads.

Instead, YouTube touts scale others can’t match. And to underscore the claim that the platform drives culture, it invited a bunch of personalities to this year’s YouTube Brandcast upfront presentation to wow the crowd — including Lady Gaga, who brought down the house with a rollicking five-song performance; MrBeast (aka Jimmy Donaldson), YouTube’s most-followed creator; vlogger and podcaster Brittany Broski; Sean Evans, host of “Hot Ones”; and gaming streamer IShowSpeed. Also on hand: NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who talked up the league’s deal for YouTube’s first free livestreamed NFL game next season.

As far as monetizing the zeitgeist, YouTube’s biggest news Wednesday was the announcement of a new sponsorship package for advertisers to...

Lady Gaga performed the biggest show of her career Saturday night, playing to an estimated 2.5 million fans at Rio de Janeiro’s Copacabana Beach.

The show, dubbed Mayhem on the Beach, broke the record for the highest attended concert by a female artist, according to the show’s organizers. Madonna previously held the title for a show she performed at Copacabana Beach last year. Both events were free of charge.

Gaga brought her buzzy five-act performance, which she debuted during her Coachella headlining set last month. The “Abracadabra” singer’s show included her new album, Mayhem, along with several hits from her long career in pop, including “Paparazzi,” “Born This Way” and “Judas.” The 39-year-old singer just wrapped a performance of the show in Mexico City.

“Nothing could prepare me for the feeling I had during last night’s show — the absolute pride and joy I felt singing for the people of Brazil.

Lady Gaga is known for being straightforward and a super-confident singer who can handle any situation gracefully. During her performance at Coachella weekend two, she experienced some technical difficulties that led her microphone to stop working. How the songstress managed the whole fiasco has won millions of hearts.

When Lady Gaga was singing her latest creation Abracadabra on stage, her vocal feed was cut off. It happened at the beginning of her set on week two of Coachella, which was held in Indio, California. We all know the hype of Coachella, one of the biggest musical festivals, and if something like a microphone malfunction happens to a star like Gaga, it’s never acceptable. This happened after Blackpink’s Lisa faced an onstage mishap on her second day of performance at Coachella. Scroll ahead.

Lady Gaga began the set for Abracadabra on...

Onya Nurve did it.

It’s been a few days since Nurve, whose real name is Justin Woody, was crowned the winner of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Season 17, and it hasn’t quite clicked for the queen who has been celebrating since Friday and is now up at the crack of dawn, speaking to the press.

But one thing is clear, she’s proud of her win. For Nurve, it’s been a season. She dominated with four Main Challenge Wins, she wowed with her Eddie Murphy impersonation during the Snatch Game challenge, and she triumphed over Jewels Sparkles in the finale lip sync to take home the crown.

Nurve spoke with Variety to discuss her win, performing that finale lip sync to Lady Gaga’s “Abracadabra” and what she’d like to do next.

After dropping the critically acclaimed LP Mayhem, Lady Gaga is inviting fans to the Mayhem Ball this summer.

In an interview with Consequence leading up to her second turn serving as both host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live, Lady Gaga told us what makes the late-night sketch show so unique. “I’ve always loved lots of different kinds of art. So being able to be a host, but also be the actor in the skits, and then be the musical guest and bring my artistry as Gaga — it’s really cool to be able to do it all in one place. SNL is such a rare show where they really do celebrate that.”

Gaga’s wide-array of talents were indeed on display during last night’s episodes of SNL, as she delivered two knockout performances in support of her new album, Mayhem, with “Abracadabra” and “Killah.” She also took the lead in sketches that included an a woman who lied about...

Lady Gaga returned as Saturday Night Live musical guest with lively performances of two tracks from her brand new album.

Gaga, who also hosted the show, opened with the dance-pop “Abracadabra,” the second song off of Mayhem, which Rolling Stone‘s Brittany Spanos reviewed as “the year’s strongest pop release yet.” She followed that up with the funk-inspired “Killah,” which she sang partly backstage at Studio 8H.

Gaga recently told Rolling Stone that her latest work–her first solo studio album in five years–amounts to a return to...

Speaking of “Abracadabra,” Lady Gaga may have pulled off the ultimate “Saturday Night Live” magic trick during her two musical numbers in this week’s episode: dancing furiously and singing live.

That combination is not for every “SNL” musical guest, let alone one who is also expending energy as a host who’s appearing in nearly every sketch in the show. But Gaga pulled it off with “Killah” aplomb … if that’s not a phrase that would offend the catchy-superlative-averse characters in the closing “No More Slay” skit.

Gaga appeared in every segment of the 90-minute show but two, the only exceptions being the Trump-themed cold open and Weekend Update. But whatever effort she’d put into practicing lines for the sketches clearly hadn’t taken any time away from whatever hours were spent rehearsing the choreography for two musical numbers that made “hyperkinetic” feel like a woeful understatement.

Her first number,...

A day after her latest album, Mayhem, was released, Lady Gaga reminded Saturday Night Live that she can sing.

“I know you might be thinking I’m here to promote my album, Mayhem, but I’m actually here to remind you I’m an amazing actor,” she said during her monologue.

But, it turned out, Gaga was in full voice during the sketches.

After riding across New York on an electric suitcase in the opening sketch alongside Marcello Hernandez, Gaga teamed with Bowen Yang for a parody duet. Dressed in a red dress, the pair mocked up their own version of Eric Clapton’s “Wonderful Tonight.”

“It’s later that evening and we’re wasted in Times Square,” sings Yang. “So, I eat a full Big Mac and I shave off my body hair,” sings Gaga. “And then she bites me on both my nipples left and right, and I...

Little Monsters, rejoice: Lady Gaga made her triumphant return to Studio 8H to serve as both host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live for the first time since 2013. The Oscar and Grammy winner previously pulled double-duty on the show's 39th season, and has appeared as musical guest for hosts Ryan Reynolds (2009), Justin Timberlake (2011), and Tom Hanks (2016). The multihyphenate Gaga, who won an Academy Award for Best Original Song for A Star Is Born, has been promoting her latest album, Mayhem, which just dropped on March 7. Here are the best moments from Gaga's second hosting gig, from the opening monologue to the best sketches.

There's been no shortage of politics to satirize with Donald Trump's second term, and Saturday Night Live once again opened by lampooning the news of the week. This time, President Trump (James Austin Johnson) tried to broker a truce between Secretary of State...

Lady Gaga kicked off her Saturday Night Live episode with some jokes about her movie Joker: Folie à Deux.

“Anyway, I’m an actor now,” the Oscar and Grammy winner says during her opening monologue before quipping, “I select films that would showcase my craft as a serious actor, films such as Joker 2. Apparently, people thought it was awesome. Joaquin [Phoenix] and I even got nominated for a Razzie, which is an award for the worst films of the year. So we won worst onscreen duo.”

She continues, “But jokes on them. I love winning things. My Razzie brings me one step closer to an Egort. It’s like an Egot, but it’s hurtful.”

Joker: Folie à Deux, the sequel to 2019’s Oscar-winning Joker, was nominated for seven Razzies after bombing at the box office last year. The movie ultimately won the Razzies for worst screen combo of Phoenix and Gaga and worst sequel.

Lady Gaga's new album, Mayhem, just dropped on Friday, but a number of critics are already singing its praises. The album scored 85 on Metacritic based on the first 11 reviews counted. By the time you read this that number will likely have changed. But if it holds steady, Mayhem will be the highest-scoring record of her career.

"Bow down, little monsters!" says Helen Brown (The Independent UK). "For her sixth studio album, Mayhem hails the return of your Mama Monster to all her shock-horror-bop glory." She adds, "At a moment when America’s leaders seek to shove its marginalized citizens back into the shadows, she invites them back into the centre of the floor, celebrating their defiant differences in the bright strobe lighting."

Alexis Petridis (The Guardian) writes, "It’s consistently well-written, teeming with hooks and liberally sprinkled with intriguing musical left-turns.

In the lead-up to Lady Gaga’s latest album, Mayhem, there’s been a lot of talk about Gaga returning to her roots. It’s been five years since her last pop release, the Nineties-house-inspired, cyberpunk concept album Chromatica. Chalk it up to timing (it was released at the dawn of the pandemic), but the album didn’t inspire the type of fervor it deserved upon its release. Since then, she’s been back to focusing on movies and jazz, even combining those other two modes for Harlequin, a companion...

Lady Gaga has finally dropped her new album.

Mayhem is her long-awaited solo follow-up to 2020's Chromatica — not counting 2024's Harlequin, a Joker: Folie à Deux companion album. She has been busy since the start of the decade, recording her second collaborative album with Tony Bennett (Love for Sale) in 2021 and contributing music to 2022's Top Gun: Maverick soundtrack. "The album started as me facing my fear of returning to the pop music my earliest fans loved," she told Pitchfork in January. Will her return to her roots bring her back to the Grammys?

Gaga has been a Recording Academy favorite from the very beginning, so much that it actually cost her a Best New Artist nomination. She had already contended for Best Dance Recording for her debut single "Just Dance" in 2009, so she was ineligible for the breakthrough award the following year when her debut album, The Fame, was eligible for consideration.

An array of new albums hit the shelves and streaming services this New Music Friday.

It’s an especially great week for pop music, as both Lady Gaga (Mayhem) and Blackpink’s Jennie (Rubie) unveil highly-anticipated albums. Industry veterans Benmont Tench, Bob Mould, and Neil Young have all dropped new LPs as well.

Benmont Tench — The Melancholy Season

The last time Benmont Tench released a solo album, he was still recording and performing live with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Since the group disbanded in 2017 due to the frontman’s passing, he is now settling into his role as the face of the operation as he returns to publishing music under his own name.

Lady Gaga has released her new album, Mayhem.

First announced this past January, Mayhem arrives as Gaga’s sixth solo studio album — and one of the most anticipated albums of the year. In the months leading up to its release, it was preceded by the hit singles “Abracadabra,” “Disease,” and the Bruno Mars duet “Die with a Smile,” the latter of which has already racked up over 2 billion streams on Spotify alone.

Now, the full 14-track album — co-executive produced by Gaga, along with Andrew Watt and her fiancé, Michael Polansky — is available in its entirety. Stream it below.

Speaking about the album in Gaga’s recent interview with Consequence, the pop icon cited everything from ‘90s grunge to 2000s pop to funk as influences. “I’m embracing all of these things about myself, all of these contradictions, all of these genres that may not seemingly make any sense together,...

Lady Gaga has returned to pop/dance music with her latest album Mayhem!

The 38-year-old entertainer debuted her seventh album at midnight on Friday (March 7) after much anticipation.

This new body of work marks a return to the Gaga aesthetic that fans have come to know and love from the star, and features previously released singles “Disease,” “Abracadabra” and the duet “Die With a Smile” with Bruno Mars.

“Artpop was a vibe. Joanne was a sound. Chromatica had a sound. All different. The Fame Monster was more chaotic. The Fame was theatrical pop. Born This Way, to me, had more of a metal electro New York vibe to it,” she told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe of the sound of her past albums.

“I actually made the effort making Mayhem to not do that and not try to give my music an outfit. You know what I mean,...

Lady Gaga’s seventh album, Mayhem, is out now. The LP follows 2020’s Chromatica and her Joker 2 companion, Harlequin, from 2023.

Executive produced by Gaga, her fiancé, Michael Polansky, and Andrew Watt, Gaga began rolling out new music last fall. Her Bruno Mars duet, “Die With a Smile,” preceded the album’s other lead singles “Disease” and “Abracadabra,” a pair of heavy, electro-pop tracks. Alongside Mars, the album’s other main feature is Gesaffelstein, a French DJ and producer who has worked extensively with the Weeknd. Cirkut also produced much...

The wait is over: Lady Gaga has finally dropped her seventh studio album, Mayhem, this week, five years after releasing her last LP, Chromatica. Out now, Mayhem features 14 different tracks, which includes the hit singles “Abracadabra,” “Disease,” as well as “Garden of Eden,” which serves as the new F1 anthem for the 2025 season.

“I wanted to traverse old ground while breaking new ground, which I think is hard to do,...

When Lady Gaga started making her new album, Mayhem, she felt the dark, ominous energy of her first two albums — The Fame Monster and Born This Way — luring her back in.

“It was really powerful,” she says on a recent call with Rolling Stone. “Maybe the last four or so albums I’ve made, I moved away from that and tried some different things, but this was a return to those Gothic dreams.”

Across Mayhem, Gaga taps into the haunting aesthetic and sounds that fans fell in love with when...

Lady Gaga is about to make her fifth appearance as “Saturday Night Live” musical guest — and second as host — this weekend. So to prepare, she stopped by the 30 Rock offices to share her creative process with the cast.

In a new promo out Wednesday, the “Abracadabra” singer sings what she sees (à la Randy Newman in “Family Guy”) as comedians Andrew Dismukes, Devon Walker, Ashley Padilla and Heidi Gardner attempt to get some work done.

Naturally, no one is safe from Gaga’s impromptu piano ballads, including Dismukes’ 2 p.m. breakfast sandwich, Walker’s big swing of a hat and Gardner’s obvious signs that she sleeps at the office. Check out the NBC teaser, below:

With new rule changes on the track, six drivers making their full season debuts, and seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton making his Ferrari debut, the Formula 1 season is coming in hot. In honor of the high-speed frenzy scheduled to kick off with the Australian Grand Prix on March 14, Epsn has named Lady Gaga’s “Garden of Eden” the official anthem for the 2025 F1 season.

“Go get your friends and meet me on the floor/You’re out of candy? I can get you more/DJ, hit the lights,” Gaga sings in the ESPN promotional teaser.

Andrew Watt is opening up about working with Lady Gaga!

The 34-year-old Grammy award-winning producer and songwriter has recently worked with Gaga on “Die With a Smile,” “Disease” and her most recent “Abracadabra,” among many others.

During a two-hour conversation on SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show, Andrew dished on what it was like in the studio with her for “Abcradabra.”

“She just has a vision in her head the whole time. As she’s making the song, sometimes you’re speaking to her and she’s not there because she sees like the whole picture, she sees everything,” he shared. “This song kind of ended up becoming about like a night out and someone casting a spell on you, and she decided that she wanted that part of the song to be the spell that was being cast.”

Producer/songwriter Andrew Watt went from the pop world to finding himself in the studio with his rock heroes, from the Rolling Stones to Pearl Jam — and now he’s back at the center of pop as executive producer of Lady Gaga’s upcoming album Mayhem.

Fifteen years ago, Lady Gaga released EP The Fame Monster, a reissue of her 2008 debut album The Fame. In a stark contrast to its predecessor, the pop star’s EP tracks chronicled the sordid and grotty bits of celebrity. Among the four new songs on the reissue was “Telephone,” a single Gaga had reportedly intended for Britney Spears, but eventually found its way back to her and was recorded as a duet with Beyoncé.

Saturday Night Live's50th Anniversary celebration recently culminated in a special event, bringing back hosts and stars from the show's past. It was a significant ratings success for the network, bringing in close to 15 million viewers for the spectacle. However, as the adage says, the show must go on, and a new batch of hosts has been announced for the next two episodes of the series. Not only does the newly announced lineup include a pop music superstar, but it also features a former host who was fired a few years ago.

According to Variety, the recently announced lineup includes formerly fired cast member Shane Gillis and singer/actress Lady Gaga. The decision to include Gillis comes less than a year after he made his return to the sketch comedy series as a host. He was previously fired prior to his 2019 debut after a slew of controversial comments and past jokes resurfaced.
