Another Independence Day is upon us, and that means plenty of baseball, outdoor barbecues and... fireworks shooting out of a bra? To kick off this year's Fourth of July weekend, VH1 is finally airing the MTV Live: Lady Gaga special that was taped a year ago on the Isle of Malta. The concert special, which airs on Friday night, features more wardrobe changes than I'd thought possible for a tidy 30 minute program. The program features performances of hits like "LoveGame" and "Just Dance" and by now you've guessed that I'm only writing about this so we can post an image of Lady Gaga's fireworks bra in action. Maybe it will become an American tradition?
Besides the Fourth, this week also marks the often forgotten Canada Day (July 1), and Letterman has taken the liberty (Liberty!) of booking a couple of Canadian acts (again reminding us that music director Paul Schaffer is from North of the border). Super supergroup New Pornographers play Wednesday night, getting the honor of playing as the calendar switches over to July 1, and then Ontario act Tokyo Police Club mop up on Thursday night. Oh, Canada! Elsewhere, American icon Dolly Parton celebrates the 25th anniversary of Dollywood on Saturday (Hallmark Channel) with Kenny Rogers and a parade of artists I've already tuned out, while on the actual Fourth, VH1 airs a new Behind the Music on Jennifer Lopez. Crossing fingers there's at least some metaphorical fireworks in there somewhere (Bennifer!).
"America, F&*k Yeah!"
