Lady Gaga is set to perform today on the French show “Le Grand Journal” during the Cannes Film Festival. She Tweeted, “In the glass of a Parisienne boudoir getting ready for BornThisWayMadness.”

She’s been a very busy woman.

On Monday night in New York City, Gaga took the stage at the Robin Hood Foundation benefit in New York. Sarah Jessica Parker, Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber were among the Hollywood heavyweights on hand to watch her perform at Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, and she didn’t disappoint.

“Besides being immensely talented, Lady Gaga is immensely smart and immensely giving,” David Saltzman, executive director of the Robin Hood Foundation, told MTV News. “She grew up in New York City aware of the disparity between those who have and those who have not, and she is, thank goodness, devoting her money and time and efforts to people who haven’t been fortunate. Everything she sang brought the house down. She’s Lady Gaga.”

Saltzman credits the partnership between the Robin Hood Foundation and Lady Gaga for shedding more light on the organization, which helps out homeless youth in New York.

“More than 4,000 people came together to save the lives of people in need,” Saltzman said about the event. “We’re thrilled that all sorts of people joined forces last night, some of whom happened to be celebrities. They were all blessed by good fortune.”

So how does one get all those people together in one room? “Lot of begging, a lot of praying,” he joked. “It’s a big undertaking, and we’re thrilled to do it. We raised more than $47 million to help poor New Yorkers … as a result, thousands and thousands of lives will be saved.”

Lady Gaga announced last night via Twitter that she would be releasing a new song today!

The song, “The Edge of Glory” will be released in iTunes around 4:00PM EST. Gaga’s people say that while the song will appear on her new album, “Born This Way”, it will not be an official single. The record will be released on May 23rd.

According to an earlier Rolling Stone review, the new song “merges a power ballad chorus, a disco beat and arena rock guitars, features a lead saxophone part performed by Clarence Clemons of the E Street Band”.

How many of you caught Gaga’s Monster Ball Special on HBO last night? I watched it – and I loved it! You gotta give the girl some credit, she’s a helluva performer!

Pictures (INF): Lady Gaga attends a photocall and a press conference to promote her new album ‘Born This Way’ and the end of the ‘Monster Ball Tour’ at St. Regis Hotel in Mexico City, Mexico.

Earlier this morning, the music video for “Judas” was leaked online and everyone (myself included) quickly posted it. The video is being taken back down quickly, so you’re lucky if you saw it this morning!

Lady Gaga quickly tweeted: “Stop leaking my motherf**king videos”, but the tweet has since been taken down.

‘Judas’ is the second single from Gaga’s new album ‘Born This Way’, which comes out on May 23. The video will technically premiere tonight during ‘American Idol’. You can see a 7-minute version of the video on E! tonight!

Lady Gaga’s controversial music video for “Judas” has leaked online, hours before it was set to release during ‘American Idol’ tonight.

The song/video has caused much uproar due to it’s religious tone. Here, there’s a biker with a crown of thorns, washing “Jesus’” feet and Gaga wearing a Virgin Mary cloak – amongst other things.

The video starts out with Lady Gaga riding on the back of a motorcycle driven by Jesus, who’s wearing a crown of thorns. Jesus and Judas – played by Norman Reedus – get into a fight in a biker club. Gaga gets into a tub with Jesus and Judas, where she washes both their feet. The video ends with her being flogged.

Creepiest part of the video I thought was when Gaga pointed the gold gun at Judas’ face, and pulled the trigger – and a red bullet slowly emerges – and turns out it’s lipstick! She smears the lipstick on Judas’ face.

Eh, not impressed….

What did you think?

Lady Gaga will be releasing two music videos for “Judas” on Thursday. A short version, and a 7-minute version. The shorter version will appear during ‘American Idol – and the full video will premiere on E! at 7:00 EST.

She has been tight-lipped on the concept of the video, but has made a few comments. She will appear as prostitute Mary Magdelene, and ‘Boondock Saints’ actor Norman Reedus will play Judas Iscariot, both from the Bible.

The video will mark Lady Gaga’s directorial debut.

“Judas” fell out of the Top 10 to No. 12 after a short run in the top category. It is the second single from her forthcoming album “Born This Way,” due May 23.

Still not a fan…

Lada Gaga has right under 10 million “little monsters” (Twitter followers) and approximately 32 million fans on Facebook.

And she’s rounding everyone up to raise big bucks for charity.

The singer announced Thursday she’s partnered with the Robin Hood Foundation in hopes of raising $1 million for homeless New York City youths, which she’ll then distribute to one of five charities.

She is asking her fans to donate, and vote on which charity (Hetrick-Martin Institute, The Door, Lawyers for Children, Safe Horizon, and SCO Family of Services) should receive the money, which will be distributed in two $500,000 installments over two years.

“I’m thrilled to be working with the Robin Hood Foundation to distribute funds to help the youth of New York City,” the singer said in a statement. “NYC is my hometown and I think investing in these kids’ future will go a long way.”

She’ll announce the winners May 9 at a concert benefiting the Robin Hood Foundation — which will take place a few days after her HBO special airs.

“There was never a question in my mind that I was gonna make it and that this is my destiny and that we were all gonna make it as the kids of this city, as the New York generation,” she says in the special. “My faith in my creativity and my artistry has nothing to do with making it. We kind of had already made it when we were playing for nothing downtown. … We still felt like we were superstars.”

In case you didn’t know, Mother Monster has already used her popularity for a good cause. She recently raised $250,000 for Japan earthquake and tsunami relief! Go, girl!

Lady Gaga also confirms she is the godmother to Elton John and David Furnish’s son.

Lady Gaga on how her fame is sometimes overwhelming…

Ellen: I know it’s a struggle for all of us. Especially if there’s stuff that happens when you’re younger. You’re constantly dealing with insecurities or feeling you’re worthy of all of this adoration that you get. But I heard that you, in the new HBO special that you were calling your self a loser. Is that right?

Lady Gaga: Well, in that moment I was very excited and nervous. That is a huge benchmark moment in my life. I’m 25 years old. I was asked to play Madison Square Garden. Sold out 5 nights and quite frankly it’s very overwhelming. Do I feel like a loser sometimes? Yes, of course I do. We all feel like losers sometimes.

Lady Gaga on how she wakes up in the morning…

Ellen: When you were here last, I said, what do you sleep in? Do you have pajamas and you said you sleep in whatever you’re wearing.

Lady Gaga: It’s very funny.

Ellen: Like you’ll sleep in that (what she is wearing.)

Lady Gaga: It’s very funny and my best friends who often will crash at hotels where I’m at. They will come visit me on the road they always call me a Beauty Queen disaster. I wake up and my wigs falling off my head. My mole is on the other side of face. My fake mole, it’s not fake it’s surreal.

Ellen: It’s a surreal mole?

Lady Gaga: It’s a surrealist mole.
