If Lady Gaga's performing onstage, you better listen. And if you don't, she'll stop singing.

When a loud crowd still chatted at the Plaza Hotel where Gaga was performing jazz tunes Friday night, she stopped in the middle of her second song because of the noise.
"Will you (expletive) shut up? We're playing some jazz," she told the crowd of a few hundred in New York City. "Goddamn rich people."
Gaga sang at the New York Fashion Week party by Harper's Bazaar, where attendees included Donatella Versace, Liberty Ross, Brooke Shields and R&B singers Maxwell and Miguel.
The 28-year-old pop star sang songs from her collaborative jazz album with Tony Bennett called Cheek to Cheek, to be released Sept. 23. She shut up the crowd at moments when she hit impressive high notes.
Gaga sported short blond hair and a black leather dress she said her sister created for her.
The New York-born performer dedicated a cover of Cole Porter's "Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye" to her family and boyfriend, Chicago Fire actor Taylor Kinney.
"So, if you all keep it down while I sing my boyfriend a song, I'd appreciate it," she told the audience at the black-tie event.
The Friday event honored women in fashion, including Linda Evangelista, Shields and Gaga.
"An icon, I believe, is somebody that has a strong message behind their beauty and I think all of the women that are here tonight have that," Gaga said on the red carpet. "I'm not sure that I have it, but I am pretty happy to be on the list with all these super models, so thank you."

Director's London Home Searched

POLICE were called to the home of artist and film director Sam Taylor-Johnson this weekend after a machine gun was spotted through a window at the London address.
The firearm in question was a deactivated M16 assault rifle that had been given to Taylor-Johnson for an art project that she is working on, reports the BBC. It was left on a desk by a window, which prompted the 999 call by a "concerned passer-by".
"The firearm was located in Sam Taylor-Johnson's basement studio and has been confirmed as a certified and fully decommissioned M16 assault rifle that was provided to Mrs Taylor-Johnson by the international charity Peace One Day as part of an art project entitled Peace One Day M16," a spokesperson for Taylor-Johnson said. "The project, curated by Jake Chapman, consists of new works by some of the most celebrated names in contemporary art, all of whom are transforming fully decommissioned M16 assault rifles."
Taylor-Johnson - who has most recently directed Fifty Shades of Grey - her husband, the actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and their children were not present at the time of the visit.
