Gaga, the birthday girl. (London Entertainment/Splash News)Lady Gaga may have told Oprah Winfrey that she didn't "intend to speak to anyone for a very long time," but she's certainly commanding attention in other ways. Her latest "look at me" moment occurred on Wednesday (her 26th birthday) — a mere 10 days after her comment to Winfrey — when the pop star stepped out in West Hollywood in a rhinestone-covered crown, studded motorcycle jacket … and no pants. Instead, Gaga, who also carried around a little dog in a white T-shirt, opted for a pair of black sheer tights over her brief-style panties. She even posted a photo of her kooky getup on Twitter, with a message to her more than 21 million followers: "I can be, the Queen that's inside of me. You guys are the best."

Katy Perry (A/X17online.com)
Pop star Katy Perry and "Avatar" actress Zoe Saldana don't exactly have the same tastes in fashion. Katy prefers out-there ensembles, like the glow-in-the-dark gown she sported at the 2010 Met Gala, while Zoe usually opts for a more sophisticated and lady-like style. Recently, though, their closets collided when the two stepped out in very similar versions of a gold-and-white Balmain Spring 2012 mini dress just seven months apart. Now it's up to us to decide who wore it better!
12 Worst Hair Conditioners
Is it really too much to ask for a conditioner to do as it claims? To give me soft and shiny hair that tumbles gently over my shoulders, instead of a tangled, out-of-control mess that sticks up every which way?
I think not.
But sadly, I've spent a small fortune on conditioners that did absolutely nothing to tame my rat's nest of a head. And I don't want you to repeat my money-sucking, let-down inducing mistakes.
OMG! That’s a 45-foot paper airplane soaring over the desert
"It's not every day that a giant paper airplane is released high over the Arizona desert. In fact, it's never been done. But that's exactly what the Pima Air & Space Museum did," the museum wrote on its wonderfully named Web site, GreatPaperAirplane.org. "A couple months ago, hundreds of kids came to the museum to show us what paper airplane flying was all about. And now, inspired by their enthusiasm, we built a 45-foot paper airplane (quite possibly the largest ever constructed) and flew it."

Top 12 Myths About Cheating
ISTOCKPHOTO
By TRACEY COX
Do men cheat more often than women? Should you confess if you've had an affair? Is cheating always about sex? Read on for the top 12 infidelity myths and the truth—or lack thereof!—behind them.
Myth #1: People cheat because they're unhappy at home.
If you're female, this is usually the case. Women in long-term marriages who are having affairs report low satisfaction with their marriage.

Home buyers mistakes: Top real estate traps to avoid
Buying a home can be as exciting as it is overwhelming. Two real-estate experts share their insights into all-too-common house-buying mistakes.Not being pre-approved for a mortgage
“This is the number-one mistake,” says Kimberley Marr, a Toronto real-estate broker and author of Your First Home—A Buyer’s Kit for Condos and Houses. “I wouldn’t even go look at a house until you know what you’re preapproved for. It’s a benefit when you’re putting in an offer, especially in a multiple-bid offer, being able to provide written proof to sellers that you can complete this transaction.

Jon and Dorothea Bon Jovi in 2010 [Photo: Gregg DeGuire/FilmMagic]As Jon Bon Jovi celebrates his 50th birthday on March 2, there's also another milestone worth noting: He's also one of the very few major rock stars to make it to the half-century mark while still on his first wife.
The namesake frontman of Bon Jovi has been married to his high school sweetheart, Dorothea, since they wed in a seemingly quickie ceremony at Las Vegas' Graceland Wedding Chapel in 1989. Jon and Dorothea had been on and off as a couple for a decade prior to that. But, aside from a brief pre-marital dalliance with actress Diane Lane, the rocker hasn't been publicly linked to any other sweeties besides his first crush.

A good reason not to lament wearing your fat jeans this morning: According to a recent article in the Wall Street Journal, skinny jeans may look good, but wearing them may come with a handful of unanticipated health effects.

What's the problem with wearing pants so tight they could be mistaken for body paint? Nerve compression, heartburn, abdominal discomfort and numbness are a few side effects mentioned in the piece. The article also proposes a link between skinny jeans, lower back pain, yeast infections and belching. Good times.
Credit score: Why good financial behaviour can actually drag it down
So, what's your credit score? It's a bit like asking a woman how much she weighs, and the answer is fraught with just as much fear of judgment. But just like the number on the scale doesn't tell the whole story about your health, a pristine credit score is quite often not the symbol of financial virtuosity many believe it to be.
