Michael Buble Duets With Justin Bieber, Ke$ha, Taylor Swift Spoofed On ‘SNL’
Mon Dec 19 2011 by Robbie Daw
Michael Buble's Christmas album has quickly become one of the year's best sellers, and, well, Saturday Night Live wasn't about to let this past weekend's musical guest get away without a parody. Actually, it was pretty much every other popular singer at the moment who got the stuffing taken out them in the hilarious mock ad for Buble's faux holiday duets collection. Jimmy Fallon spoofed Sting perfectly, donned a swooping wig and danced around like a hyperactive Justin Bieber and did a dead-on impression of Katy Perry's husband Russell Brand in the clip.

Happy birthday, Sting! Not that our birthday wishes really matter, given that so many huge names in music turned out to help the Cherrytree House Sessions legend celebrate his 60th year in style.

Lady Gaga Sings With Sting And Tributes A Fallen Monster At iHeartRadio
Sun Sep 25 2011 by Idolator Staff
Lady Gaga broke out the voice, the visuals, and the moves that made her a superstar at the iHeartRadio Music Festival this weekend. But even this always-outrageous filmmaker had some surprises in store beyond what we've come to expect from numbers like "Born This Way," "Bad Romance," and "Judas." The rumored "surprise duet" turned out to be alongside none other than Sting, who joined Mother Monster on "Stand By Me" after she smeared him with blood. (Naturally.) But the true highlight was a moving tribute to bullied teen Jamey Rodemeyer, who took his own life last week, prompting Gaga to claim: "Bullying is for losers." See it all below. More »
