Lady Gaga is redefining what it is to be a pop star. Her concerts and videos intricately mold the art forms of music, fashion, and performance which has created almost a necessity for visual stimulation in pop music.

Looking to beat the heat and have some fun with your teens over the summer? When it gets too hot for even the beach or the pool, I’d say nothing beats cooling off at the movies. “Standing Ovation” is officially opening Nationwide July 16th, and is the sleeper hit of the season!
