According to this here Huffington Post article, Lady Gaga recently announced that she will be teaming up with the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the California Endowment, and the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University to create the Born This Way non-profit foundation.

Gaga and her mother will head the foundation, which she states will strive to “establish a standard of Bravery and Kindness, as well as a community worldwide that protects and nurtures others in the face of bullying and abandonment.” Kudos to Mother Monster for the inspiring message, and to the Huff Post author for turning Bravery and Kindness into proper nouns by capitalizing them!

Let’s give a round of applause to Lady Gaga for attacking bullying head-on, and for using her fame (monster) to spread the message of equality and compassion.

HOLD THE PHONE — Harvard Med School students produced a Lady GaGa video titled…wait for it, Lab Romance.

Prepare yourself for the nerdiest video of all time. We especially enjoyed the pan shots of the glowing petri dishes. Very GaGa.

This week’s compilation of tunes reflects what’s in the air this weekend. That’s right my bitter/lovestruck/angsty/sappy/stalkery friends, to go along with our Valentine’s Day mini issue we’ve brought you a playlist of love. Sweet, bitter, catchy-as-hell, it’s all love. The longest Noice playlist yet, this eclectic mix could last us into next J-term but here’s just a sample of the tracklisting:

Hold You in My Arms – Ray Lamontagne //I’m a Slave 4 U – Britney Spears//Love Story – Taylor Swift//All is Full of Love – Bjork//My Funny Valentine – Chaka Khan//Die Alone – Ingrid Michaelson//You Make My Dreams – Hall & Oates//Nerd Girl – Chester French

and of course: Bad Romance – Lady Gaga

At The Voice, we venerate the GaGa. And you should do the same. Happy Friday, and go find yourself that bad romance.
