Back to blonde for Lady Gaga as she ditches the green wig at charity concert in Japan

By GEORGINA LITTLEJOHN

Back to blonde: Lady Gaga ditched the green wig she has been sporting for the last few weeks in favour of her trademark platinum blonde lock as she performed in Japan


She's worn all different colours and shades in her hair since hitting the big time, but Lady Gaga knows deep down that blondes definitely have more fun.

Having sported an aquamarine wig for the past few weeks, the singer decided to go back to her trademark platinum blonde look.

The Born This Way singer came on stage at the MTV Video Music Aid Japan at the Makuhari Messe Arena near Tokyo tonight.


Spiderwoman: Gaga, sporting green hair extensions as bunches, started her set trapped in what looked like a giant web...


Her hair had been braided and put into two buns on her head, her fringe cut short on her forehead.

She started the gig with aquamarine hair extensions on her bunches as she opened her set trapped in what looked like a giant spider web.

Dressed in a sparkly sequinned bra and long skirt with a split up each thigh, Gaga launched into her song The Edge of Glory as she pulled and tugged at the web.


... before breaking free and leaving her aquamarine strands behind


As she broke free, she ripped off the green extensions and joined her dancers as she finished the song.

Then, almost sneaking round the stage, she climbed some stairs and stood at her piano, which was made up to look like a giant spider, and launched into an acoustic version of Born This Way before rejoining her dancers for the full dance version of the hit song.

It was good to see Gaga back to blonde again even if her hair suffers as a result.


Where'd you get those peepers? Gaga takes off her sunglasses as she leaves the MTV concert to show off eye make-up that looks like eyes


After her performance, Gaga spoke to the press on the red carpet in an odd ensemble that made her look like a pearly queen.

She also showed off eye make up that looked like dark eyes as she posed for pictures and waved to fans.

Earlier, Gaga had rejoiced when she heard the news that her home state of New York passed a law making gay marriage legal.

She took to her Twitter page and wrote: 'I can't stop crying. We did it kids.

Rejoice New York, and propose. We did it!' the star added in a further tweet. 'The revolution is ours to fight for love, justice + equality.'

Glaston-buried: Fans drown in sea of mud and the music hasn't even started yet

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Quagmire: A festival-goer carefully walks through a puddle at the Glastonbury festival in Somerset today


Festival fans were contending with muddy mayhem at Glastonbury today after yesterday's torrential downpours turned the 900-acre site into a quagmire.

Every inch of Worthy Farm has become a mud bath as early arrivals gear up for the beginning of the main event tomorrow.

Welly-clad music fans put on brave faces despite hundreds of tents flooding and treacherous conditions underfoot.



Desperate measures: Site workers try to suck mud from the market areas close to the Pyramid Stage in an attempt to dry them before the main event begins tomorrow


In for a penny... Tom Wilder, 17, from Kent, gets into the festival spirit and performs a dramatic slide in the Glastonbury Festival mud


Diving face down through Britain's biggest mudbath, teenage reveller Tom Wilder ensured the Glastonbury cheers started early.

Egged on by his mates, 17-year-old student Tom, from Kent, performed headlong dives on demand to cheer up arrivals trudging through the sodden 900-acre site.


Countless efforts left him caked in mud from head to toe, with dairy farm sludge stuck in the braces on his teeth.

But he declared with a grin: 'If I run out of clothes, I'll just do it naked.'
His dives received roars of approval from hundreds of onlookers along with the group of friends he was camping with.

Best friend Callum Burgess, also 17, said: 'I'm supposed to share a tent with him but he can sleep outside. Look at the state of him.'

Clouds cleared over the Pilton hills last night, but the rain returned this morning and is due for a reprise later today - the best weather is not expected until Sunday.


Tent city: Aerial view of the Glastonbury Festival taken today. Over the course of a few days Glastonbury becomes the home to thousands of party goers creating a temporary town twice the size of the city of Bath


More than half the ticket-holders for the sold out event will have squelched their way to the site by tonight.

This year's event sees U2, Coldplay and Beyonce headline.


Treacherous conditions: Festival goers traipse through the mud around an ice cream van at the Glastonbury Festival


But early arrivals' efforts to secure prize camping spots were confounded by yesterday's monsoon-like conditions.

Hundreds of tents were flooded withing a few hours as torrential downpours began shortly after gates opened and fans began streaming in.

Campers hauling their bags and beers along the slippery thoroughfares were even told to pitch tents on hills to escape the worst of the wet conditions.

Marc Saunders, 31, from Bath, pitched his tent in driving rain with his five-year-old daughter Sam and wife Sarah.

He said: 'We say it's "go hard or go home". We're thrilled to be here, the place is magical - even in the mud.'


Go hard or go home: Muddy revellers chill out at the stone circle during the evening celebrations at Glastonbury last night


Another early arrival, 19-year-old James Street, from Belfast, was caked in mud from head to toe after slipping in a puddle.

He said: 'I'm drenched, obviously. But it's great just to be here with my pals. Legendary place, legendary line-up.

'We're not interested in the headliners - there's so much more to see.'

The first of the main acts take to the Pyramid Stage tomorrow, when the wet weather is expected to return.

Among a host of theatrical events at the site will be Glastonbury's own version of La Tomatina.

Other new elements for this year include The Spirit of 71 stage, with acts that played at the festival 40 years ago.

Beyonce, who fell in love with the Somerset festival after watching husband Jay-Z perform three years ago, is believed to have cleared her diary to party in Pilton over three days.

Rapper Jay-Z is even money with bookmakers Ladbrokes to join his wife on stage this Sunday.

Amy Winehouse booed and jeered by Serbian crowd as she slurs and stumbles her way through Belgrade concert

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

A let down: Amy Winehouse looked inebriated as she arrived on stage an hour late in Serbia, staggered about, slurred her words and was jeered by the audience


Earlier this month she checked out of rehab and was given the go ahead to embark on her European tour.

But it would seem that Amy Winehouse has spectacularly fallen off the wagon as her Serbian fans found out to their horror last night.

The singer was booed as she took to the stage in Belgrade on the first leg of her 12-date stint, and looked intoxicated as she stumbled around the stage.


Hello: Amy holds on to her guitarist who she went over and hugged as after being introduced onto the stage at Belgrade's Kalemegdan Park


An hour after she was due to arrive on stage, after being introduced by one of her backing singers, she staggered on and made her way to the back to hug one of her guitarists.

Wearing a short green and black dress that accentuated her cosmetically-enhanced breasts, she sat down on one of the speakers and adjusted her shoes while her concerned backing singer asked if she was ok and steadied her back to her microphone.

Amy, 27, looked confused and then took off one of her shoes which she threw on the floor before walking unsteadily over to her microphone.


Are you ok? As she stumbled around looking lost, her backing singer grabbed her hand in concern


After missing her cue a couple of times, she proceeded to deliver a half-spoken and mumbled version of her song Just Friends, her last release back in 2008.

Halfway through, slurring her words which she had difficulty stringing together, she told the crowd at the city's Kalemegdan Park: 'Let me bring the band introduction.'

But then she tried to continue singing the song, smiling all the while, seemingly oblivious of how she was coming across to her fans.

After hugging herself and failing to sing most of the song, she then came back in as the band finished, looked surprised and then slurred 'Just Friends' into the microphone as an astonished crowd booed and halfheartedly clapped.

The situation didn't improve much throughout the concert, as the Back to Black singer disappeared off stage several times leaving her band playing.

And according to local press reports, the 20,000 fans described as a 'scandal' and a 'disaster'.


What is she doing? To the amusement of her band, Amy bends over on stage to take off one of her shoes


Fans were also angry as may had paid about £35 a ticket which is a lot of money in a country where the average salary is about £274 a month.

One fan angrily wrote on YouTube - where videos of her disastrous performance have been posted - that he was still mad at her.

They fumed: 'She started a show and turned her back to public (btw, for most of us it was not that easy to give the money for ticket because of the economic situation in Serbia) and that was just the beginning of her disrespect and bizarre behavior.

'She did not sang one song from beginning to the end, Some of them she didn't even tried to sing. Not a fan anymore'

Amy is due in Turkey tomorrow to play Istanbul's Kucuk Ciftlik Park and also has dates in Greece, Spain, Switzerland, Italy, Poland, Hungary and Romania, finishing up on 15 August at Iolanda Balas Soter Stadium, Bucharest.

Earlier this month she checked out of The Priory Clinic at the suggestion of her father, Mitch, over concerns she was drinking too much prior to her live shows.


Outrage: Fans, who had paid a lot of money to see her play, turned on the star afterwards and called the show a 'disaster'


Her spokesman said: 'Amy Winehouse has completed her assessment at the Priory Clinic in London and will continue as an outpatient.

'She is now looking forward to playing shows around Europe this summer and is raring to go.

'She would like to send a huge thanks to all her fans for the messages of support she has received over the last week and can't wait to see them.'

Dry me out! Plucky Pixie Lott wears tiny hotpants and crop top outfit despite cold and pouring rain at Isle Of Wight festival

By JODY THOMPSON and EMILY SHERIDAN

Hippy chic: Pixie Lott ignored the freezing rain and wore a tiny paisley crop top and matching hotpants to perform at the Isle Of Wight festival today


It was an outfit more suited to a hippy gathering in sunny San Francisco - but Pixie Lott disregarded the rainy delights of a soggy British summer to wear a psychedelic hotpants and crop top combo at the Isle Of Wight festival today.

The Cry Me Out singer got a soaking as she tried to cheer up the bedraggled crowd in her skimpy paisley print outfit, but according to Mail Online reporters joining the audience in mud and pouring rain, she wasn't having much luck.

She'd accessorised her festival chic outfit with the obligatory wellies and a a flower-strewn hairband - but a mackintosh might have been more suitable.



Cheeky: The Cry Me Out singer tried her best to cheer up the cold and soaking crowd with her bottom-skimming flower power style and hippy make-up


The stoic 20-year-old star made a valiant effort however to put a smile on people's faces, despite the fact she must have been freezing.


c'mon boys and girls! The star really appeared to be giving it her all to get the audience engaged and take their minds off the weather


As well as her own hits like Mama Do, Boys And Girls and Turn It Up, she peppered her set with cover versions, including her take on Adele's Someone Like You, Katy B's Lights On, Chris Brown's Beautiful People and Aloe Blacc's I Need A Dollar.

However, on top of the atrocious weather, her set was plagued by sound problems, meaning half the soaked audience weren't able to hear her properly.


Tough gig: The singer made a hand gesture at one point however that almost seemed like she was thumbing a lift home


Turn it up! The crowd looked like they were too cold and wet to get into Pixie's poptastic set - and sound problems didn't help


As already reported by Mail Online, Kate Moss is having her hen do at three day bash with a 'Big Fat Gypsy Wedding' theme, as revealed by festival organiser John Giddings.

To celebrate her forthcoming nuptials to The Kills Jamie Hince next month, she and her 30 odd revellers - including Jade Jagger, Meg Mathews and Sadie Frost - are said to have downed 120 bottles of Mahiki rum.

They were said to have ordered another 180 botles which were being helicoptered in, and they also polished off magnums of Cristal champagne, plus bottles of Tanqueray gin and Grey Goose vodka.


Grim: After two days of good weather, conditions took a turn for the worse today


Muddy brilliant: Some revellers were still determined to have a good time however


This year's headliners are Kings of Leon, Foo Fighters and Kasabian.

Day one saw Kings Of Leon and Kaiser Chiefs, whereas yesterday saw Seasick Steve, Iggy and the Stooges, Stornoway, Lissie, Mike and the Mechanics, Hurts, before Foo Fighters and Pulp topped the bill.

Kasabian will round off the bash today after the likes of Beady Eye, The Script, Plan B and special guest Jeff Beck have strutted their stuff on stage.

Although the weather had been good for the first two days of the festival, the site has been plagued by heavy rain today.

Many revellers have decided to make the most of the conditions however and play around in the mud.

Do it like a trouper! Jessie J soldiers on to perform at Summertime Ball despite badly injuring her foot in rehearsals

By DONNA MCCONNELL and JODY THOMPSON

Tough cookie: Jessie J played the Capital Radio Summertime Ball at London's Wembley Stadium tonight despite being in agony after she ruptured tendons in her foot rehearsing yesterday


She'd been left in excruciating pain just 24 hours earlier after falling from a platform and tearing tendons in her foot while rehearsing for the show at London's Wembley Stadium - but nothing was going to stop Jessie J performing tonight at her biggest gig to date.

The Do It Like A Dude star had been putting the finishing touches to her routine for tonight's Capital Radio Summertime Ball when she slipped and ended up in hospital.

But the 23-year-old showed she was made of tough stuff tonight and walked onstage heavily bandaged up, before singing the rest of her set while sat on a throne.


Smiling through: Even though she was close to tears with the pain, Jessie was in fine voice as she performed for 75,000 at Capital Radio's Summertime Ball


Wearing a black knitted bejewelled bodystocking, she managed to stand unsupported to sing Do It Like a Dude, before holding onto the throne and finally giving in and sitting down on it.

She explained to the 75,000 music fans crammed into the stadium for the Capital Radio organised show: 'I fell off the stage and mashed up my foot - I ruptured all tendons in it.

'I was told to stay at home. But I said are you crazy? I'm not letting down my fans. I did ask for a crystal sock (to cover the bandage) but this is all they had.'


On the throne: The star had tried to stand up at the start of the show but was too much in pain so sat on her rather fancy chair


Despite the untimely accident the London-born singer was in fine voice as she gave a stunning rendition of new single Nobody's perfect.

Clearly in a lot of pain. She looked close to tears however as she said: 'Sometimes its best to follow the doctors orders. Why couldn't I be an artist who just wears trainers?!'

She confessed to the crowd: 'I wanna do the next song but I'm scared,' before pausing for a drink of water, then launching into emotional ballad Who You Are.

She wrote on her Twitter afterwards to her fans, who she calls Heartbeats: 'Wembley stadium #STB #heartbeats I love you. Most amazing moment in my life. Bruck (sic) up foot and all.. Thank you. Thank you for it all. Thank you for supporting me :) I am truely (sic) touched.'


Hospital dash: Jessie J, seen here at the Glamour Women Of The Year Awards 2011 in London earlier this week, was rushed to hospital tonight


Stylish: The star, who picked up the Woman Of Tomorrow award at Tuesday's Glamour Women Of The Year Awards, showed off a softer more feminine style


Other stars on the bill of tonight's mammoth pop extravaganza Summertime Ball included Jennifer Lopez, LMFAO, Cee Lo Green, Nicole Scherzinger, JLS, Enrique Iglesias, The Wanted, Ne-Yo, Katy B and Example.
