Huh?
Why is this in the Register? I honestly don't get it. This is what I expect from Newsbeat. Which is why I don't listen/visit Newsbeat.
No, a waffle iron does not constitute an IT angle. Nor does Tony Bennett.
Lady Gaga plans to spend her Thanksgiving blowing glitter over children, dipping a bird in oil and performing a duet with a very old man. These are just some of the highlights of ABC's A Very Gaga Thanksgiving, revealed yesterday by The Hollywood Reporter. Gaga herself conceived and directed the special, the Reporter reports …
"But I would expect it to contain some sort of entertaining content, rather than an advert for a C-list celebrity thanksgiving show."

Maybe it's just me but doesn't this sound like the Christmas Special in the Bill Murray movie "Scrooged"? Breaking news...life emulates fiction.
Any fictitious TV Executive who makes a Vegas Revue version of Dickens "A Christmas Carol" is obviously inherently evil. At least Murrays character realizes the error of his ways and is redeemed.
Any real life TV Executive's who make a "Very Gaga Thanksgiving" special need to have open brain surgery live on TV so we can figure out what made them so fucked up and avoid it in the future. These exec's will suffer the eternal fires of Hell for even giving this idea consideration, let alone bringing it to reality.

Bing Crosby rolls over in his grave (causing a 5.9 earthquake) as Lady Gaga sings "I'm dreaming of a Meat Christmas" while wearing a see through number with strategically placed rhinestones interspersed with raw meat.
All I can say is I sincerely hope she does not have complete creative control. That would make me want to proactively gouge my eyes out with a dull spoon.
