The ‘We Can’t Stop’ singer said she does not take herself seriously, reported Contactmusic. “If I wasn’t here I’d like to be doing some sort of stand up comedy, so I think that this is my way of doing that. I am the joke. Look at me! I’m a walking joke,” she said. When asked if she thinks a lot about her unusual wardrobe she said, “I didn’t really think about it because that just seems so disingenuous. I’m too honest, I’m too myself. I never really thought about it.” (PTI)

Michael Keaton, who launched the ‘Batman’ franchise in 1989 before his career as a leading man, is making a comeback in films with new movie ‘Birdman’. Keaton said he did not worry the film might be confused with his own story, reported the New York Post. “There was that moment where you go, ‘Is this going to be an issue in terms of having played Batman?’,” Keaton said at Le Cirque after the movie closed the New York Film Festival. “There was almost really no time to discuss this because there was so much work to do,” he added. The movie is set in Broadway’s St James Theatre and shot to look like one continuous take. (PTI)
