What once looked bright, briefly, has now darkened again. What will Love do? Also today: Good news for fans of The Killing, bad news for some fans of Game of Thrones, and Madonna gets picked up.

The Financial Times has a long interview with Lady Gaga conducted by British actor/author Stephen Fry which the paper will publish over the weekend. We were given a little sneak peek of what Gaga said to Fry during the exchange, and she makes some insane claims, including that she went bankrupt funding her Monster Ball tour.

Kim Kardashian's giant boyfriend gives her a giant diamond. A Victoria's Secret model gets a DUI, kicks a cop, and escapes an L.A. jailhouse. Kellan Lutz rejects Britney Spears. Wednesday gossip attracts magpies.

20,000 Oprah Winfrey zealots filled Chicago's United Center on Tuesday night for the taping of a two-part farewell spectacular that will air on May 23rd and 24th. It was billed as a "night of surprises," but, like Oprah, I hate surprises. So here's a list of everyone who showed up, as exhaustively docutweeted by The Hollywood Reporter:

Today Lady Gaga unleashed her newest single, "Edge of Glory" to a flurry of internet squealing. To me it sounds like she traded in ripping off Madonna and went right for another '80s icon: Pat Benatar. There's even a sax solo!

The Los Angeles Times has more details on the previously reported IRS criminal investigation into the Kabbalah Centre and Spirituality for Kids, a charity co-founded by celebrity Kabbalist Madonna.

Pop music thingamajig Lady Gaga made two music videos for her song "Judas," one set to debut tonight during American Idol and another tonight on E! News Daily. Well, one of those (most likely the shorter Idol version) found its way onto the internet this morning. Enjoy!

Sure, Madonna created a whole (possibly shady) charity to raise money for schools in Malawi, but do you know how she raises money for daughter Lourdes Leon's schooling? By selling her old Chanel boots.

In a profanity-laced interview in the new NME, recently hatched pop icon Lady Gaga had some strong words for anyone who thinks her song "Born This Way" sounds a lot like Madonna's "Express Yourself." The very notion, in fact, is downright "retarded," and any co-writing credit should go to Capital H-I-M.

On this evening's Piers Morgan Tonight, Sharon and Kelly Osbourne chatted with him about pretty much everything. When Morgan brought up his well-documented hatred for Madonna—and argued that she's a bad mother for thrusting daughter Lourdes into the spotlight—an annoyed Kelly did her best to put him in his place.

Early yesterday morning—just hours after she was forced to release her new single early due to a leak—Lady Gaga tweeted an image of the cover art for her upcoming album, Born This Way.

Ancient pop singer and spiritualist Madonna has long been associated with Kabbalah, a mystical, Jewishy sect. But she recently had a falling out with Kabbalah's leaders after the whole Malawi school debacle, so she's been on the hunt for something new. And it looks like she's found it: Opus Dei!

Lots of people are talking about Lady Gaga's new video for her song "Judas," including the creative director who worked on the project and the Catholic League, which is up in arms like usual. They disagree on the video's message, but there's one thing everyone will soon be able to agree on: Lady Gaga is ripping off Madonna again.

Angelina adds a new coordinate to the tattooed list of her children's birthplaces. Charlie Sheen gets a standing ovation in Cleveland. Nick Cannon rather regrets taking "nasty" naked pictures with Mariah. Wednesday gossip is feeling broody.

Madonna is not, she repeats not, being investigated by the FBI for that charity scandal in which she currently finds herself embroiled. However, they might be investigating her for her other charity scandal — but just a little. [Sun Times]

Madonna's private school for girls in Malawi has collapsed amid scandal. Now it looks like another one of her charities is up to something weird. Her international educational charity Success for Kids is being looked into by the FBI, according to The Daily. It is unclear for what, exactly, but it's not for being too fabulous. Something about "several irregularities and suspicious activity?"

Roger Friedman is reporting that the Kabbalah Centre and Raising Malawi—a charity Madonna co-founded with Kabbalah guru Michael Berg—are under investigation by the IRS. According to Friedman, at least two people have been called before a grand jury to answer questions about both organizations.

• Royal wedding news! The official cake for Kate and William's wedding has been revealed, and it is… "a multi-tiered, traditional fruitcake"? As we speak, the cake is "maturing," because you apparently don't bake a fruitcake as much as ferment it. There will be a bunch of "3-D scrollwork, flowers, leaves and other decorative touches," on it, but, ew, England. It's bad enough at Christmas, but the Most Important Wedding of All Time is going to have a fruitcake? Look at the official royal baker, Fiona Cairns, mixing the cake above. GROSS. Oh, but don't worry there's also going to be a "chocolate-cookie cake". A chocolate cookie cake? Is this a spectacular royal wedding or an insurance office goodbye party? The main course at dinner will be canned beans slopped on paper plates with a ladle. [People]

All Madonna wanted was her own private school for impoverished African girls, just like Oprah has (minus the molesty stuff). What she got is a PR nightmare. Her mismanaged charitable foundation, Raising Malawi, is on the verge of collapse, and $3.8 million designated for the school have all but vanished into thin air.

A 29-year-old man was caught in Madonna's London house early this morning holding some of her possessions. It may sound like it was Madge's latest ex-boyfriend returning to pick up his toothbrush, but it was actually a stalker who busted in through a side window. She might want to beef up security to keep those rabid gays out of the house, don't you think?
