Last night the Fame Ball Tour hit Portland, Oregon, and let me tell you, she is one hell of a performer!!

We were squished in the Wonder Ballroom like sardines, dripping sweat and bouncing to the music!  Everyone was up and jumping as Lady Gaga performed her hits Just Dance, Poker Face and Love Game!  I didn’t know what to expect during the show, but it exceeded my wildest imagination! Every costume change was crazier than the last!   She came out onstage in the bubble outfit (below) and sang a new song, Future Love.  She played the piano with her fingers, and her feet!

One thing I can say about her is she’s a great performer.  From the costume changes, to the dancing, to the stage, everything was perfectly executed.  You couldn’t help but dance to the music! I liked Lady Gaga before the show, but I think I’m loving her even more now!  If you have a chance to see her, you’ve gotta go.  It’s so much fun, and it’s totally worth it!

After the show, Robyn (sister) and I stayed behind to meet her.  We somehow managed to be #1 and #2 in line to meet her, which was amazing, since there were about 100 people waiting behind us.  She came out after the show, used her backup dancer’s leg as a chair – and signed her autograph for me.  They said no pictures…but we snuck a few.

Lady Gaga still has MANY shows on her tour!  If she’s coming to your neighborhood, buy tickets now!  You won’t be disappointed!

As the new issue of Us Weekly reports on LeAnn Rimes‘ shocking affair with her TV movie costar Eddie Cibrian , the country singer, 26, has taken to her Web site to address fans.

“This is a difficult time for me and my loved ones, but I appreciate all your continued support,” she writes Wednesday. “I would like to assure all of you that this is a place for you to hear things directly from me and as you all know, not everything in our lives is always black and white.”

Before signing off, Rimes tells fans, “have faith.”

Rimes didn’t address the affair during her appearance on Wednesday’s Live with Regis and Kelly.”Everything’s great – there’s rumors all the time,” she said.

“Things pass, life happens,” she later added. “You know, everything people read is not … as easy as black and white. That’s what it is. I let it roll off my back most of the time.”

Us Weekly reports that Rimes — currently wed to former backup dancer Dean Sheremet — got cozy with Cibrian, 35, on the set of her March 21 Lifetime flick, Northern Lights. Cibrian was recently seen in Ugly Betty, Invasion and Samantha Who?

The issue also features pictures taken from a video security camera that show the two holding hands and kissing on a romantic dinner date at Mosun and Club M in Laguna Beach, California on March 7. Additionally, Us Weekly reports that the new couple met for a three-hour tryst at the Malibu Beach Inn on March 14.

LeAnn Rimes is having a shocking affair with her TV movie costar, Eddie Cibrian, Us Weekly reveals in its newest issue, on stands Wednesday.

Rimes, 26 — currently wed to former backup dancer Dean Sheremet — got cozy with Cibrian, 35, on the set of her March 21 Lifetime flick, Northern Lights. Cibrian was recently seen in Ugly Betty, Invasion and Samantha Who?

“From the moment we rehearsed, LeAnn and Eddie honestly developed a really strong bond and a warm relationship,” director Mike Robe told Us prior to news of the affair.

The new Us Weekly features pictures taken from a video security camera that show the two holding hands and kissing on a romantic dinner date at Mosun and Club M in Laguna Beach, California on March 7. Additionally, Us Weekly reports that the new couple met for a three-hour tryst at the Malibu Beach Inn on March 14.

Rimes married Sheremet seven years ago — when she was just 19 and he was 21. Cibrian tied the knot with model Brandi Glanville in 2001; they have two sons, ages 5 and 23 months.

A rep for Rimes tells Us: “We do not comment on our clients’ personal lives.”

Cibrian’s manager didn’t respond for a request for comment.

As Natasha Richardson remained in a New York hospital, her family and friends had all but given up hope that she’ll recover from a severe head injury.

“There is no chance,” a family friend told PEOPLE on Tuesday night. “It is a fact that her heart is beating but she is brain dead.”

Her dire condition – doctors described it to those close to Richardson as “leakage of blood between the brain and skull,” the friend says – has the actress’s family coming to grips with potentially having to make an unthinkably difficult decision. “It’s not official yet,” says the friend, “but they basically will detach her.”

Richardson, 45, the daughter of actress Vanessa Redgrave, suffered a devastating head injury Monday while skiing on a beginner’s slope outside Montreal during a trip with at least one of her two sons. Her husband, Liam Neeson, 56, raced from a Toronto movie set to be with her as she was hospitalized.

On Tuesday, a private jet brought them both to New York, where family and friends gathered for a vigil. Reps for the family have declined to comment on Richardson’s medical condition.

More from TMZ:

TMZ has obtained information about Natasha Richardson’s ambulance ride in New York to Lenox Hill Hospital — she was “unconscious,” her pupils “non-reactive,” her skin was “pale” and she was suffering from “major head trauma.”

We’re told her husband Liam Neeson held her hand the entire time and caressed her face as he sat in silence.

We’re also told when the plane landed in New Jersey, medics on board told members of the ambulance team that Richardson was “brain dead.”
