Lady Gaga’s Jean Paul Gaultier interview to kick off CW’s fall season

Anthony Jones – Celebrity News Service Reporter

Los Angeles, CA, United States (Celebrity News Service) – The CW is kicking off its fall season in a big way: with none other than Lady Gaga.

No, she won’t be returning to “Gossip Girl” for another performance. Instead she’s sitting down for an interview with famed fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier.

Though she’s regularly rocked his designs, it was the first face-to-face meeting for Gaga and Gaultier and cameras were there to capture it all. Taped back in May, the duo covered fame, her fans, and of course, fashion during the hour-long interview.

The special, “Gaga by Gaultier,” is slated to air on the CW on Monday, September 12th from 8pm – 9:15pm ET.

It’ll be followed a preview of the CW’s fall slate, including new and returning shows, hosted by Maggie Q of “Nikita” and Kristoffer Polaha of “Ringer,” the new Sarah Michelle Gellar-starrer premiering the following night.

Anticipated Indie Rock Albums for Early 2010

Get off your bar stool and prepare yourself for these hot new indie rock albums to be released in early 2010. You can bet your poker chips these albums will be some of the most talked about records of the year so hear about them here first!

Hot Chip – One Life Stand

There are lots of bands that have incorporated the style and glossy production sound of top 40 hip-hop and pop into their music, but none are able to do it with as much class as the indie rock band Hot Chip. They have been crafting some of the catchiest dance-floor anthems of the past decade with their great music and clever, often tongue-in-cheek lyrics. They burst onto the scene largely with the tracks “Over and Over” and “And I Was a Boy from School” from their 2006 release, “The Warning.” Their new album, “One Life Stand” is said to be more somber than their previous releases, so it will be interesting to see where the band goes from here on out.

Vampire Weekend – Contra

These preppy art school kids have divided music fans into love it or hate it camps, with their detractors criticizing their usurping of African rhythms and Paul Simon “Graceland” influences in their music. It’s hard to come down on Vampire Weekend for stealing from black musicians when throughout musical history that is all that white people have done. Their new record is full of even more of that catchy, literate pop music that they are known for, with lyrics that sound straight out of a “Gossip Girl” novella.

The Besnard Lakes – Are the Roaring Night

This epic indie rock band is hard to pin down; their vocalist sounds like your typical whiney indie rock singer but their sound really shoots for the stars, with lengthy, often seven minute long songs that slowly burn their way into your skull. Their albums seem to be loosely conceptual, with their breakthrough “Are the Dark Horse” being followed by “Are the Roaring Night,” with an effectively appropriate image of a roaring night fire on the album cover. I don’t know what these guys are up to but it sounds like it is worth following.
