Lady Gaga in an eccentric outfit

The 28-year-old singer emerged from a Tokyo nightclub on Thursday dressed in a particularly eccentric outfit consisting of a wire clam shell skirt, see through black top, ripped fishnet tights, and studded black collar. 
She wore typically towering platform lace up black boots while chains with crosses dangled from her collar.
The overall look was made even more bizarre with the addition of eccentric make-u including a gold painted nose, crimson lipstick and black lace-style under the eye adornments. 

Clearly proud of the look, Gaga posted a snapshot of herself on Instagram alongside the caption: 'Playtime #ARTPOP #MonsterStyle AZABU APHRODiSHY'

Paul Scholes write off United in Premier League title race

Paul Scholes has written off Louis van Gaal's hopes of winning the Premier League title in his first year as Manchester United manager, after picking Manchester City or Chelsea to finish the upcoming season as champions.

United legend Scholes backed Van Gaal to revive United's fortunes after their seventh-place finish last May, but he cannot see the experienced Dutchman bringing the biggest prize in English football back to Old Trafford straight away.

"I think the title is between City and Chelsea, they've both made decent signings. The next two places are between United, Liverpool and Arsenal," said the 11-time Premier League winner Scholes, in quotes appearing in the Daily Mirror.

"I just worry that City and Chelsea have a bit too much for them. United will be looking for a better season than last season, and that shouldn't be too difficult. It was a big blip last year, disappointing.

"The first six games look favourable and if they can be near or top of the league at the end of those six then take it from there, but you have to remember the players they've lost. Rio [Ferdinand], [Nemanja] Vidic, [Patrice] Evra, [Ryan] Giggs. Massive players who have won 30 titles between them."

Scholes backed Phil Jones, Jonny Evans and Chris Smalling to grasp their chance in a revamped United defensive lineup, but he suspects Van Gaal is frustrated by the lack of transfer activity following the arrivals of Ander Herrera and Luke Shaw earlier in the summer.

"I'm sure he [Van Gaal] would have liked to have signed more players," Scholes added. "He's not managed to do that yet. Are the players out there available? The areas they need, in midfield, is an area where I thought they might have bought a couple of players.

"Toni Kroos goes [from Bayern Munich to Real Madrid] for 20 million pounds and Cesc Fabregas to Chelsea. I thought they would have been in for those type of players, but it doesn't look like they were. If they were, they chose to go elsewhere.

"It's not because United are not in the Champions League. People still want to play for Manchester United. It's huge.

"I still think the players they have are good enough, it's whether they can get their confidence back. Jones, Evans and Smalling have all been there to win leagues, but now they really have to step up."

Scholes went to suggest Van Gaal strikes him as being a little eccentric, as he suggested the veteran Dutchman will instill belief in United after their trouble campaign under David Moyes last season.

"From what I've seen in preseason he looks a bit mad to me. He's a bit like a mad genius -- he looks a bit crazy," added Scholes.

"I think he's brought a bit of fear into the players, which is no bad thing. I played for 20 years for Sir Alex Ferguson and he could be a scary man. Sometimes fear can bring performances out from you.

"Players will know where they stand, which is what you want. You knew where you stood with Sir Alex Ferguson, straight from what you'd done on the Saturday. If you'd done well he'd pat you on the back and if you hadn't you probably wouldn't be playing the next week.

"This manager has great experience with proper clubs and has been successful. Hopefully he can bring a bit of that to us."

Chris Brown Ft. Usher and Rick Ross in 'New Flame' Music Video

Chris Brown has debuted the official music video for "New Flame", his collaboration with Usher and Rick Ross. Hitting the web on Thursday, August 14, the clip involves plenty of dancing in addition to bikini-clad girls.

It opens with the R&B singer, clad in an all-white outfit, standing in the middle of a pool and showing off some choreography while being surrounded by some ladies. He's then joined by Usher who treats viewers with his own dance moves on the poolside.

Later in the video, shirtless Rozay appears to spit his verses alongside two women while sitting on his throne. Also making a cameo is Brown's frequent collaborator Tyga.

"New Flame" is expected to be featured in Breezy's upcoming album, "X". The long-delayed project, which was originally planned to arrive earlier this year, is now scheduled to come out on September 16.

To support the LP, Brown is planning a tour with fellow R&B superstar Trey Songz. "THIS FALL is gonna be legendary! Get ready for me and @TreySongz Tour!!!!!!" the 25-year-old entertainer announced on Twitter just a few hours before dropping his brand new video.

Both singers also promoted the tour in videos posted on their respective Instagram account. While Brown thought "real R&B, real singing, real performances" and a "ton of ladies" were great ideas for their upcoming shows, Trigga said they could perform "that one song that we did together than no one's heard."

Barcelona: Luis Suarez allowed to train with the club

Barcelona striker Luis Suarez's four-month worldwide ban has been upheld after an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) was rejected but he is now allowed to train with the club and take part in friendlies.

Suarez, 27, was suspended from "all football-related activity" for four months by FIFA in June after he bit Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini while playing for Uruguay in a World Cup match.

An appeal against the ban was rejected by the world football governing body in July, before Suarez, Barcelona and Uruguay's football association (AUF) took their case to CAS. The former Liverpool striker attended the latest appeal hearing in Lausanne, Switzerland, last Friday as lawyers put forward his case.

But issuing judgement on Thursday, CAS ruled that the ban should remain in place but he will be able to train with Barcelona, attend matches and take part in friendlies immediately.

"The sanctions imposed on the player by FIFA have been generally confirmed," the court said in a statement.

"However, the four-month suspension will apply to official matches only and no longer to other football-related activities (such as training, promotional activities and administrative matters)."

CAS will publish its full reasons for the verdict -- which also upholds his nine-match suspension from international matches -- in the coming weeks.

Barcelona responded to the announcement with the following statement: "Following the announcement of the verdict by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) regarding the appeal against the sanction imposed on Luis Suarez by FIFA, FC Barcelona hereby announces that the player will join the first team's training session scheduled for tomorrow Friday at 9.30 a.m. CET in the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper.

"Likewise, the public presentation of Suarez as a new FC Barcelona player will be held on Monday at the Camp Nou, on [the] occasion of the Joan Gamper Trophy match."

The first match in which he will be eligible to play for the club could be el clasico, the league meeting with Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, if the match is set for Sunday, Oct. 26, when the Spanish league announces that weekend's schedule.

Suarez was punished by a FIFA disciplinary committee after biting Chiellini during Uruguay's 1-0 Group D win over Italy in the Brazilian city of Natal on June 24.

Two days after the incident, the striker was banned from all football activity for four months, given a separate nine-match suspension from international football and ordered to pay a fine of 100,000 Swiss francs (around $110,000). That decision, at the time, effectively ruled him out of all football activity until the last week of October. 

Suarez initially claimed he lost his balance and fell on Chiellini, claiming that there had been no intentional bite. He subsequently apologised, but an appeal against the severity of the ban was rejected by FIFA on July 10.

Despite covering all "football-related activity," the suspension did not apply to transfers, allowing Suarez to complete a 75 million pounds move from Liverpool to Barcelona on July 16.

But the striker was not allowed to train with his teammates or enter any football stadium under the terms of the ban, and was also barred from attending the news conference at which the Catalan club confirmed his arrival.

It is the third time in his career that Suarez has been involved in a biting controversy. He was suspended for seven matches after biting PSV midfielder Ottman Bakkal while playing for Ajax in an Eredivisie game in November 2010, and after joining Liverpool, he received a 10-game domestic ban for doing the same to Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic in 2013.
