Lady Gaga is opening a Michael Jackson museum which will showcase $2 million worth of the legend's stuff.

The "Applause" hitmaker increased her collection of products which belonged to the late star - who died of acute Propofol intoxication in June 2009 - in 2012 when she bought 55 items from an auction, and she takes good care of iconic memorabilia including the famous jacket which features in his 1983 hit "Thriller" and white Swarovski crystal encrusted glove which cost $194,000.

Gaga feels it's essential the late King of Pop of should be remembered and since she treasures her own tour clothes she felt uneasy when Michael's were sold and has spent millions to make sure they are well preserved: "I will put together a museum and put the money to a foundation he cares about. The reason I bought Michael's clothes was because my tour clothes mean more to me than anything, my awards, records. I believe they carry the energy and memories of the night. With Michael's clothes being sold when he was not here made me feel really uncomfortable, upset and I don't why. I take care of them - they are in the right temperature and are preserved. I have spent millions. I believe that the fans' energy gets stuck in the clothes. I wanted to preserve that for him."

Brandon Flowers Changed with Fame

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Concerts / Tours, Gossip, Alternative, Rock,

Brandon Flowers admits that fame changed him. The Killers frontman says he began wearing eccentric stage outfits and acting cocky in the band's early days in order to feel more confident because he couldn't cope with the change around him.

"I grew up in Utah, and all of a sudden we're getting popular in London - the coolest city in the world - and we were like, 'This is not what we're cut from.' So I puffed up my chest and spread the feathers - that was my reaction to that. I do have a belief in myself and in the band, but it wasn't like that," he said.

The "Mr. Brightside" singer says that the days of his infamous pink leather jacket and feathered epaulettes are behind him with the band's fourth studio album Battle Born, but he doesn't regret any of his statement looks: "Getting more comfortable in my own skin and feeling more confident is somehow tasking the place of feathers and pink leather. I wouldn't take back the feathers. I felt empowered when I put that jacket on, it was a ceremony, I loved it. But I can't wear them forever. I gave them to the London Hard Rock."

Lady Gaga Liberates Herself Through Reinvention

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Performances, Pop,

Pop singer Lady Gaga feels she is "liberating" herself by constantly changing her image and sound. The "You + I" singer is known for her eccentric fashion sense and straddles a number of genres on her latest album, Born This Way, a practice she has been drawn to since she was a girl.

"When I was young I had something very different inside of me. I like to liberate myself with my ability to change, the fantasy becomes my reality," she says in a new documentary Gaga By Gaultier.

The 25-year-old star - real name Stephanie Germanotta - added she never feels the urge to change her outrageous outfits for normal clothes, because her fans expect her to always be Lady Gaga:

"They're my lifestyle, it's not dressing up, a costume, a show, or a character. It's my whole life. I've been dressing like this for more than six years. While I was living in New York, I fell in love with expressing myself through clothing. I wanted to make a name for myself as a musician and stand out. I want to give my fans everything they deserve and they do not deserve sweat pants and sneakers. They deserve the real me all the time, and this is who I am."
