I don’t know about you all, but every shower in my house is accompanied by copious bouts of singing. In that way, Lady Gaga and I are basically the same person — except that when she sings in the bathtub it’s along to her own upcoming collaboration with Tony Bennett. I usually just scream along with the voices in my head.

Gaga posted a duo of videos to Instagram Friday in which she lip-syncs along to “Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered,” a bonus track on the Target deluxe version of her album of jazz standards, Cheek To Cheek, due out September 23. The tune was originally composed for the 1940 Rodgers and Hart musical “Pal Joey.”

The record also features classics like Cole Porter’s “Anything Goes,” Duke Ellington and Irving Mills’ “It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing),” and, of course, Irving Berlin’s “Cheek To Cheek.” Gaga dropped a single from the record, “I Can’t Give You Anything But Love” — which has been performed by the likes of Billie Holliday and Ella Fitzgerald — this past week.

We hope Gaga gets back in the tub soon, because we’re seriously itching to hear some new tunes — aside from the ones reverberating all around our own shower walls. You sound much better, Stefani — believe me.

Dumping a bucket of ice water on one’s head is nothing when compared with competing in televised blood sport against children, so we’re glad to see the “Hunger Games” boys doing the right thing for ALS. Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, and Sam Claflin (who play Peeta, Gale, and Finnick in the films), have all taken on the Challenge over the past few days, with Hemsworth even dressing up as a Ninja Turtle in the name of charity.

Hemsworth was up first, and he nominated Woody Harrelson, Hutcherson, and Matt Niven to go next. His costar Hutcherson quickly accepted, and he nominated his third grade teacher (awww), his first acting teacher, and another teacher, Pat Jackson.

Claflin then took the Challenge in “rainy” London, and all of this was so adorable but it also begs the question, “When the heck is one of them going to nominate Jennifer Lawrence?”

Shaunna Murphy

A real go-getter.

It’s been nearly eight months since the last episode of BBC America’s “Doctor Who,” and with that long wait comes MASSIVE EXPECTATIONS. Add in the first true appearance of Peter Capaldi’s new incarnation of immortal Timelord The Doctor, and our anticipation for the season premiere, “Deep Breath,” is through the roof.

Which is why we’re going to break down the 6 things we have to see on the August 23 premiering episode.

1. A New Doctor

Well, dur. But we don’t just want to see Peter Capaldi, we want to see what makes him new, different and exciting! We’re big fans of Christopher Eccelston’s turn as The Doctor, but David Tennant and Matt Smith made us fall in love with their takes almost instantly.

We already love Capaldi for his amazing work in “The Thick Of It,” but will he be able to pull away from iconic roles like Malcolm Tucker and make The Doctor his own?

2. A Better Clara

BBC America

Speaking of falling in love, Jenna Coleman captured both our hearts with her first appearance in “Asylum of the Daleks,” then cemented it with her whip-smart turn in “The Snowmen.” And then for the rest of series seven, she didn’t get a whole lot to do.

Coleman is clearly an extremely talented actress, and we love having her on the ...

It’s a huge weekend for Charli XCX, you guys. The VMA-nominated British beaut will be performing on the red carpet during the pre-show, and even though she admitted she’s still putting the final touches on her routine, we managed to squeeze out one last VMA confession from her before rehearsal was over. Spoiler alert: It involves Lorde.

Even though she didn’t reveal what her big plans are for Sunday, we’re hoping it’s filled with her signature furry crop tops, chokers, and wild hair flipping. See you all tomorrow!

Undergrads, start your theses. Once again, Taylor Swift has publicly commented on her personal relationship with feminism, and, for most of us hopefully, what she says is illuminating.

“As a teenager, I didn’t understand that saying you’re a feminist is just saying that you hope women and men will have equal rights and equal opportunities,” the “Shake It Off” singer told The Guardian’s Hermione Hoby in an interview published on Friday, August 22.

“What it seemed to me, the way it was phrased in culture, society, was that you hate men. And now, I think a lot of girls have had a feminist awakening because they understand what the word means. For so long it’s been made to seem like something where you’d picket against the opposite sex, whereas it’s not about that at all.”

Swift continues: “Becoming friends with Lena [Dunham, the creator and star of HBO's "Girls"] — without her preaching to me, but just seeing why she believes what she believes, why she says what she says, why she stands for what she stands for — has made me [realize] that I’ve been taking a feminist stance without actually saying so.” The 2014 MTV Video Music Awards performer is probably referring to songs about not getting hung up on some ex like “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” her strong history of supporting other young women like Lorde, Dunham, and Rookie founder Tavi Gevinson, ...
