Valentine’s Day can either be the happiest day of the year or the most depressing.

If you’re not one of those uber-romantic types that are going to be spending the night […]
The Mother Monster released her newest single early this morning via iTunes, radio and internet. Even then early reports of iTunes downloads of Born This Way were surprisingly high as Facebook and Twitter posts started flooding the web.
