'I WANT TO HAVE CHILDREN' - LADY GAGA TELLS OPRAH

Gaga says she wants little monsters of her own…

The eccentric American pop artiste, Lady Gaga recently appeared on the Oprah Winfrey’s ‘Oprah Next Chapter’ show where she proudly declared her love and anticipation for motherhood. She disclosed that she is looking forward to being a mother and a wife.  In her words, ‘Yes, I want kids. I want a soccer team and I want a husband’

Lady Gaga, born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germonatta, 26 years ago and popular for her bizarre sense of style, however, disclosed that this fantasy of hers may not materialise anytime soon as she has got a whole lot of projects on her hands, one of which is her anti-bully Born This Way Foundation.

The ‘mother-monster’ who  became popular after releasing her debut album ‘Fame’ which earned her six Grammy awards, also used the opportunity to talk about her ‘Born This Way’ tour,  which she hopes to start soon. She thanked Oprah for being a part of her Born This Way foundation which she launched last month, in her native New York City.

BOBBI KRISTINA VOWS TO CONTINUE THE WHITNEY HOUSTON LEGACY

 Oprah Winfrey talks with Patricia Houston and Gary Houston, sister-in-law and brother of the late singer Whitney Houston, during an interview in Atlanta, Georgia 

At the end of the day this is a young girl that has just lost her mother. The press has been beastly and she has been accused of falling her mother’s downward spiral into drug addiction. For a time it was said that Bobbi Kristina had slipped away from the funeral in order to have her fix. Later on her grandmother and friends disputed these sensationalist accounts. Now we hear that Whitney Houston’s only child is vowing to protect her mother’s legacy by changing her surname from that of Bobby Brown to her mother’s. She also states that she feels a compulsion to continue her mother’s destiny. The critics are not too sure that she will be able to mix with one of the greatest divas of all time.

Celebrity children who are burdened with expectations

There is no guarantee that a talented parent is going to produce children who are anywhere as good as them. In the case of Whitney Houston, the task is even harder given the fact that there are pretty much no musicians who can quite capture that voice. At the best of times Bobbi Kristina is just another celebrity child who is being burdened by the overwhelming charisma and talent of their parents. It is almost certain that she will have to work very hard indeed to get any sort of recognition. Already the skeptics are saying that her only legacy will be a troubled teenage background.

It is rather encouraging that Whitney Houston chose to leave everything to her daughter. In a will that was signed way back in the period of her marriage to Bobby, the star made it known that she was leaving everything to her only child. At that time it was estimated that she was worth at least $200 million. By the time of her death, Bobbi Kristina was being unofficially encouraged to expect a modest fortune of about $6 million which would be paid out in installments. It is not yet clear whether she will get a cut of the royalties.

I'M DOING OPRAH 'CAUSE I TRUST' HER - BOBBI KRISTINA

Bobbi Kristina isn't doing her first post-Whitney interview with Oprah Winfrey because of the money -- she's doing it because the big O's a close family friend ... and Bobbi trusts her to be fair and respectful.

Bobbi is telling friends -- Oprah "was loyal to my mom, and never did my mother wrong, or made her look bad. She always looked out for my mom."

As a result, we're told Bobbi feels Oprah would show her the same respect -- not bringing up issues that could potentially show Bobbi in a negative light ... i.e. substance abuse.

According to sources close to Bobbi, Oprah was one of the first people who reached out to her after Whitney passed.

So far, it's unclear if Bobbi is getting paid for the interview -- which airs this Sunday.

OPRAH WINFREY COMING BACK TO TV

Oprah Winfrey is coming back to TV less than a year after ending her iconic chat show, The Oprah Winfrey Show, which lasted for 25 years. She started her OWN network and said she would only work behind the camera, but apparently she's changed her mind because now she's returning to the air in a new show called - Oprah's Next Chapter - to be broadcast on her OWN cable channel starting in January. The series will show her meeting and chatting with celebrities in their homes.

Oprah's statement about her new show below...

    After 25 years I got myself out of the studio chairs. I moved into the next chapter, and I am having more fun than ever - moving around the country and the world talking to people I'm really interested in getting to know and I think viewers will be, too,' she said.

Lady Gaga Surpasses Oprah, Beyonce On Forbes' Most Powerful Women List

Lady Gaga is officially the world's most powerful female celebrity, at least according to Forbes, which released its World's 100 Most Powerful Women list on Thursday (August 25). On a list primarily dominated by politicians and CEOs, Mother Monster grabs the #11 spot on the coveted ranking, besting all other celebrity figures including friends and collaborators Oprah Winfrey and Beyoncé Knowles. 

While familiar faces like Hillary Clinton (#2) and Michelle Obama (#8) fill up the top 10 tier of the ranking, the Forbes list remains slim on entertainment bigwigs. Former queen of daytime talk Oprah Winfrey appears shortly after Video Music Awards opener Gaga, ranking at #14, followed by Beyoncé at #18. 

Other celebrity power runners include: Angelina Jolie (#29), Diane Sawyer (#47), Queen Elizabeth II (#49), Ellen DeGeneres (#55), Gisele Bündchen (#60), Anna Wintour (#69), J.K. Rowling (#61) and Ann Curry (#66). With her colossal first-week sales for Born This Way, prominent social media presence and avalanche of endorsement deals like her just-announced partnership with Barneys New York, it's hard to deny Gaga's recent reign.

In an interview with Howard Stern earlier this summer, the "You and I" singer opened up to the famed Sirius radio host about her influence in the industry, saying, "Do I feel like a powerful person in show business? Yeah." Gaga also touched on the financial perks of her hard work, saying, "I really don't give a f--- about money at all. ... The Monster Ball was really expensive and the next show will be really expensive, and I will pay for it.
