Irregular Heart Rate Forces Apologetic Lady Gaga To Cancel Concert
After Lady Gaga was forced to cancel her concert at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana on Wednesday night due to a medical emergency, the ‘Poker Face’ singer took to her Twitter to explain the situation and apologize to the fans. The 23-year-old writes:
I’ve been crying for hours, I feel like I let my fans down 2nite. An hour before the show, I was feeling dizzy and having trouble breathing
Paramedics came to take care of me, and told me my heart-rate was irregular– a result of exhaustion and dehydration.
Can’t apologize enough for how sorry I am. I could hear my fans cheering from my dressing room, I begged everyone to let me go onstage
My stage has complicated mechanical elements, everyone was concerned I’d be in danger during the 2hr show, since I had passed out earlier.
I am so devastated. I have performed with the flu, a cold, strep throat: I would never cancel a show just based on discomfort
I hope you can forgive me. I love my little monsters more than anything, you are everything to me. I will make-up the performance on Jan 26

John Mayer: The 2000s Were The Dumbest Decade In Recorded History
John Mayer shared his thoughts on the decade as it prepares to come to a close to his Twitter followers earlier today, unimpressed with the past 10 years. The singer songwriter tells readers:
Let me be the first to say it: the 2000s was the dumbest decade in recorded history.
You may not appreciate it now, but in the next 2-4 years the true dumbness of the decade will age like a fine, insipid wine.
Dumb: “It’s like a car crash, you can’t look away,” a crude attempt at justifying having terrible tastes in entertainment.
Dumb: “Epic fail,” a phrase used to make fun of someone’s failed attempts, written by people living in their parents’ basements.
I’ll buy that for a dollar! RT @shyunatown agrrreed ; 2000’s was an era where people didn’t know what do with themselves
Dumb: “Just Saying.” A phrase meant to divorce one’s self from responsibility for having a cheap laugh at someone’s expense.
“Hot mess,” “train wreck,” cutesy combined celebrity couple names, “TMI,” Feigned shock, Sentences that begin with “bitch.”
Dumb: “I’ll give you that,” used to reluctantly agree with someone by making it sound as if it’s at the user’s great expense.
2010s: being safe and happy, learning, showing grace to others while tending to our own betterment, and enjoying life. FIN. XO.
