Lady Gaga and Christian Carino ‘Looked Beyond in Love’ in Boston
No bad romance here! Lady Gaga and her boyfriend, Christian Carino, were hot and heavy during and after her concert at Fenway Park on Friday, September 1, in Boston, sources tell Us Weekly. The Grammy-winning singer, 31, performed at the iconic baseball stadium as her agent beau watched from the audience and she threw a few winks his way. The couple later headed to the House of Blues after the show where one of her band members was performing that night. And despite a long day and hours on stage, the “Poker Face” songstress hung out with Carino and her crew until around 1:30 a.m. “They looked beyond in love with each other,” an onlooker tells Us. “They seem like the real deal. Both Gaga and Christian couldn't have been more down to earth or amazing with her crew." It sounds like Gaga will be back at the House of Blues tonight after her second Fenway Park gig. The “Million Reasons” singer tweeted on Saturday, September 2, “2night I'll be returning to Fenway Park! Afterward I'll be crashin' my buddies party across the street @Houseof_Blues w/ @BrianNewmanNY” The Super Bowl halftime performer is currently in the middle of her Joanne world tour. The week before, she played Citi Field in Queens, New York, and stayed at a rental in the Hamptons with Carino, taking a helicopter back and forth to the city. One night, the duo traveled to Manhattan to celebrate her mom Cynthia’s birthday with some fun at Bowlmor Lanes. Us Weekly exclusively confirmed in February that Gaga and Carino had begun dating.

Someone Touched My Hair At A Lady Gaga Concert — The One Place I Didn't Expect It
Photographed by Courtney Yates. There isn't a hairstyle I won't try: crochet braids, box braids, small 'fros, medium 'fros, a tapered cut, unicorn wigs... the list goes on. I'm not as bold as Rihanna, and I don't wear ankle-length inches like Nicki Minaj, but I still enjoy experimenting with different styles within my own comfort zone. It's mine (yes, bih, even the weaves and wigs), and after years of relaxing and fighting its texture, I'm proud of it in all its natural glory. That same day, I braved the rain to check out Lady Gaga's Joanne World Tour at Citi Field. Riding high off my magical weekend at Afropunk, I was looking forward to another concert that continued the self-love train. I stepped onto an elevator full of other young people adorned in glittery body paint, rainbow hair, and tattoos — feeling myself and my gorgeous metallic braids in the mix. And that's when a middle-aged white Monster approached me. Photo courtesy of Vernon François. "I LOVE your braids!" she exclaimed, sticking her hand out and stroking them without a second thought. I jumped back and shot her a dirty look. "Thank you," I responded curtly in my strongest "fuck off" voice. I thought that the icy darts I was shooting from my eyes would hopefully send a message, but instead she kept grinning like an idiot and turned to her other white friend. "Aren't her braids ammaaazzzzing?" she asked. They nodded enthusiastically in agreement. You know how Sex and the City's Charlotte York Goldenblatt had a speech prepared for the day she ever ran into Mr. Big? Well, I had a whole internal script locked and loaded if someone ever dared to touch my hair. But once I actually found myself in the situation, I was rendered speechless. And honestly, I was a little afraid. What if I had popped off on this lady? Would anyone back me up? Or would the entire elevator think that I was being too sensitive? Hell, would I even get kicked out of the venue? Photo courtesy of Vernon François. In hindsight, rather than getting angry, I could've patiently explained to this uneducated woman why her action was a micro-aggression and an invasion of my bodily autonomy, and by touching my hair she was reinforcing centuries of racist behavior. It could have been a learning moment for her, and a lesson in assertiveness for me. Instead, I did nothing and she left the elevator to enjoy the show. But I couldn't. The interaction stuck with me all throughout the night, even as Gaga did vocal acrobats — and actual acrobats — in the pouring rain. I would have been upset regardless of where this encounter happened, but it felt especially hurtful considering the venue. Gaga has been vocal about her concerts being an inclusive place. When she started, she welcomed "the whole motherfuckin' rainbow," to quote her exactly. And you can see it in the crowds that showed up. There were tutus, crop tops, and leather pants; glitter eye paint and blue lipstick; an entire field of rainbow-streaked hair. But you didn't see anyone stroking someone else's faux lashes, or tugging at their blue-streaked wig. So why did people think it was it okay to touch my box braids? Even surrounded by people praising diversity and shouting lyrics of acceptance, I felt singled out. It all reminded me of an experience I had at a previous publication where I attended an event with Solange, but was too afraid to actually speak. When I recapped the encounter to my editor later, she had one question for me: "Did you touch her hair?!" Umm... no. In fact, she literally has an entire song about why you shouldn't, I reminded her. She insisted, "I know, I know, but how could you help it? It's so fabulous!" I laughed it off in the moment, but the lyrics to "Don't Touch My Hair" echoed in my head... just like they did last night. "They don't understand what it means to me. Where we chose to go. Where we've been to know." There's no way that the woman in the elevator fully understood my pain in that moment, but I'm hoping that my experience might educate others (who should know better) in the future. And if it ever happens to me again, I've practiced my speech this time.
Lady Gaga says this is what we can expect from her upcoming Netflix documentary
© Kevin Mazur / Getty Lady Gaga says this is what we can expect from her upcoming Netflix documentary When Mother Monster speaks, we listen. New music, exciting TV roles, outrageous solar eclipse outfits — we immediately flock to whatever project Lady Gaga is working on. So when we heard Netflix was releasing a documentary about Gaga’s life, we couldn’t contain our excitement. While we’ve known that the doc will capture a year in the life of the pop music star, we haven’t heard too many other details — until now. Entertainment Weekly spoke to the singer and director Chris Moukarbel about the upcoming project, titled Gaga: Five Foot Two, and shared the details with us. The doc will debut at the Toronto International Film Festival before coming to Netflix on September 22. It promises to be real and unfiltered. Instagram embed Gaga: Five Foot Two delves into the complicated roles that fame, loneliness, and chronic pain play in her life. Instagram embed According to EW, Gaga seems excited to share a raw, uncut glimpse of what it’s like to be her. “[You will see] a woman who’s an artist, creates all day, thinks all day, and also has the experiences [as] both an artist and a celebrity. Those two things collide for me, and you’ll see how they’re conflicted,” Lady Gaga told EW. “I am 100 percent at my lowest common denominator. Nobody [is] explaining what I am or putting a label on me as a female artist in this film. That’s what this documentary is about.” Moukarbel started filming in June of 2016 — and that very first day ended up being the opening scene of the documentary. Gaga: Five Foot Two chronicles Stefani Germanotta’s creative process as she recorded Joanne, her most recent studio album. It also followed the star as she prepared for the Super Bowl halftime show and shot American Horror Story. Gaga clearly impressed the acclaimed director. “Gaga has created an extraordinary life through force of her own personality but when you’re inside her world you’re immediately struck with how laid-back and familial she actually is. She’s warm and genuinely interested in the people around her,” Moukarbel said. “She is incredibly close with her family and they are around her all the time. They have a naturally loving relationship so I hope some of that comes across in the movie.” Your little monsters can’t wait!
