'Joker: Folie à Deux': Lady Gaga to Play Harley Quinn Opposite Joaquin Phoenix in Musical Sequel

It feels like a lifetime ago when Lady Gaga, in the darkest days of the pandemic, released “Chromatica” in May 2020.It was essentially, a way to free yourself from the lockdown of the walls you were climbing and escape to another planet where the clubs were still pumping out beats—instead of hand sanitizer—in a world where masking up and social distancing never existed.But perhaps Chromatica was a victim of timing: There was only so much an album designed to just dance could do when there was no place to dance.And as if “Chromatica” never happened—aside from the futuristic getup that, for Gaga, almost looked like grocery-shopping sweats at this point—she came out strong at the Chromatica Ball at MetLife Stadium on Thursday night with three of her biggest pre-Covid hits: “Bad Romance,” “Just Dance” and “Pokerface.”Bam. Bam.

Lady Gaga was hit in the head by an object thrown by a crowdmember during a recent show in Canada.The incident occurred while the pop star was playing at the Rogers Centre in Toronto last Saturday (August 6) as part of her current ‘Chromatica Ball’ tour.Gaga was performing her recent Top Gun: Maverick track ‘Hold My Hand’ in the encore of the 22-song set when she was struck by what appeared to be some kind of stuffed toy. According to Stereogum, the item in question was a Dr Simi doll.The outlet notes that Dr Simi is the mascot of the Mexican pharmacy chain Farmacias Similares, and said it’s become somewhat of a tradition to thrown the dolls at performers in Mexico.Per the Huffington Post, the craze began during AURORA‘s gig at Corona Capital 2021 in Mexico.

Lady Gaga kicked off the U.S. leg of her Chromatica Ball tour with a message for the United States Supreme Court. “They better not try to mess with gay marriage in this country!” she said to loud applause from the crowd during a concert at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C.

posted on Twitter.“I would like to dedicate this song to every woman in America, to every woman who now has to worry about her body if she gets pregnant,” the 36-year-old pop star said to a cheering crowd. “I pray that this country will speak up and we will stick together and that we will not stop until it’s right.”Throughout the song, she would take a break from singing to slam the Supreme Court and their June decision to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade case.

Lady Gaga took a moment out from her set to vouch her continued support for abortion rights and gay marriage.It comes in the wake of the US Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, the 1973 court case that made abortion legal on a federal level.

While Warner Bros. Discovery has announced its intentions to “reset” the DC Universe, some “old” projects are still moving forward.
