I hope after learning this about animals she'll stop wearing fur, or at least wear vintage fur only like she did in that Facebook post.

Anyway, I hope Asia does get some barks on the album, that would honestly be great!

It will be interesting to hear Gaga's jazz version of Bang Bang.  This very rock version by Cher kicks butt.

Nice interview with Tony:

 

Tony Bennett on Lady Gaga, and his dreams for his 90th birthday:

I knew that Lady Gaga and I hit it off real good. She's really a great jazz singer. And the reason that we put this album together, called 'Cheek to Cheek,' the reason we did it (was) to get the very young people that adore Lady Gaga and show them those songs," adds Bennett, referring to standards such as the Irving Berlin title cut, Cole Porter's "Anything Goes," Duke Ellington's "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)" and Billy Strayhorn's "Lush Life."
"The album will be exploited all over the world, and the young people for the first time will hear (George) Gershwin and Cole Porter and all the great ones. Irving Berlin. And they'll fall in love with those great songs, because those songs are never going to die.

 

"When you hear a real great Louis Armstrong (recording) or Nat 'King' Cole or Ella Fitzgerald and Sinatra and, hopefully, myself, you realize that the record was made maybe 40 or 50 years ago, and it doesn't sound dated. It sounds like I'm recording right now. They never really get old-fashioned because they're well-written songs."

 

 

 

"She is one great singer," avows Bennett. "She is a true jazz artist. She plays piano. She's very well schooled musically. She's very intelligent and intuitively knows how to treat the audience. She's a lot of fun."

 

 

What's in it for Lady Gaga?

"'Cheek to Cheek' came out of a very organic friendship and relationship that Tony and I have built over the years, and it truly was a collaborative effort," says Lady Gaga in a statement. "It was important to Tony that this was a jazz record. I've been singing jazz since I was a child and really wanted to show the authentic side of the genre. We made an album of jazz classics, but it has a modern twist."

Gaga's latest instagram posts are lyrics from the song 'I Won't Dance'.
