BUSINESSINSIDER reports "The LADY GAGA-funded start-up just came out of its super-secretive mode with the launch of its beta site LITTLE MONSTERS.

BACKPLANE hopes to give celebrities the chance to interact more intimately with fans then they could on FACEBOOK or TWITTER. The sites are also supposed to help fans create and share content." Co-founder JOEY PRIMIANI told BUSINESSINSIDER

"I'm all about starting this movement. I love technology and love good design. We definitely have an amazing opportunity here to have millions of users — the most amount of users per employee. We are going to be bigger than FACEBOOK and GOOGLE some day."

She also continued 'teasing' little monsters with another pretty exciting tweet:

The Born This Way Foundation is officially launching on February 29th. The launch will take place at Harvard University's Sanders Theatre. Lady Gaga, along with her mother, Born This Way Foundation President and co-founder Cynthia Germanotta, will be joined by some very special guests to introduce the organization.

Gaga's mother had this to say about the upcoming launch, due to take place on 29th February – "My daughter's foundation was born out of her passion to create a better world where people are kinder and nicer to one another and are accepted for who they are, regardless of how different they may be."

PopCrush.com-Lady Gaga‘s entire ‘Born This Way’ album has a lot of ’90s influences, but you haven’t heard them like this before. A Cash Cash remix surfaced of Mother Monster’s latest hit, ‘Marry the Night,’ that evokes memories of ‘Saved by the Bell,’ Walkmans and roller blades. The five-minute remix seamlessly pairs Gaga’s searing vocals with a ’90s dance beat in the intro. The track then gives way to keyboards and hand claps befitting of the same era.

Then it gets really interesting. Dance samples a la the ’90s are mixed in with Gaga’s passionate chorus, creating an exponentially more nostalgic feel as the song continues.

Clinton Sparks has released his remix of Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way' track, 'Bloody Mary'. The remix received generally positive responses, with fan reviews saying 'the remix is sick'. Tell us what YOU think about Clinton Sparks' take on the song in the comment section below!
