LAURIEANN GIBSON TO GAGA: 'I BELIEVE IN THE GOSPEL, AND I'M NOT GOING THERE'

"Judas," the second single from Lady Gaga's upcoming album, Born This Way, recently hit the net and was met with many outcries of sacrilege. The video for "Judas" will premiere on April 19th, and Laurieann Gibson, Gaga's creative director, tells The Hollywood Reporter that that she almost walked away from working on "Judas" while developing the video's concept: 

It went through several changes and late-night debates because at one point, there were two completely different views and I was like, 'Listen, I don't want lightning to strike me! I believe in the gospel and I'm not going there.' And it was amazing because to have that conversation about salvation, peace and the search for the truth in a room of non-believers and believers, to me, that was saying God is active in a big way. And the place that it came to is surreal. We don't touch on things that we have no right touching upon, but the inspiration and the soul and idea that out of your oppression, your darkness, your Judas, you can come into the marvelous light. So it's about the inspiration and to never give up…We've created a new Jerusalem. -Gibson

KELLY CUTRONE SERVES UP SOME REALITY DURING NASHVILLE FASHION WEEK

Fashion power girl, Kelly Cutrone, recently traveled south to Nashville Fashion Week to discuss her career and to share insights from her book, If You Have to Cry, Go Outside. 

Speaking to a packed house at the Belcourt theatre, Cutrone served up some reality to the audience stressing the importance of living within one's means, being willing to pay your dues to advance from the bottom up, and surrounding yourself with a "tribe" of loyal family and friends.

Unlike her reality TV persona (blame the editing), Cutrone was extremely approachable and interactive with the audience and even got comfortable enough to clear up some misconceptions about her sexuality joking:

...i did date Joan Jett once when i was questioning it, but found out very quickly that i am not gay! 

In addition to being a fashion publicist, Cutrone is also a brand strategist.  Click on READ MORE to check out Kelly's valuable advice on brand development.
