Vancouver's number-one dance club, Celebrities, is closing for renovations. The club will be open until Tuesday night Jan 1, then will close for an unspecified amount of time, starting Jan 2. Celebrities needs a face-lift! She is a star, after all.

I talked to club manager James Steck, and here's what he had to say:

We’re open for our Tuesday night, Jan 1, then we close on the 2nd, probably for a month and a half. Celebrities is looking tired! We’re going to have an entirely new club. 

When we reopen, every part of the club will be touched. Expect a brand new Celebrities Nightclub. Keep up to date on Twitter @celebrities_van #celebrtitiesrenovation. 

Our Tuesday night is moving to Venue. Bingo, I’m not sure what Joan-E has decided, but I’ve told her she’s welcome to come back when we reopen. I hope she’ll continue doing Bingo. I know it’s been very successful for her here. I think she’s staying somewhere in the Village, but I’m not sure where she has planned.

Thursday night is going to take a hiatus for now, but I will be launching another RuPaul’s Drag Race competition again, after the success of last year, which we’re going to do at Shine Nightclub on Thursday nights!

Check out the fun li'l vid we did for Vancouver's Drag Superstar competition at Celebrities Nightclub, featuring performances and backstage interviews with Shangela, winner Iona Whipp, Anida Tythole, Kitty Litur, Syren DeMille and Jem!

Of course, I mispronounced Shangela's name because I kept telling myself not to . . . and God hates me (just ask my family).

My girl Quannah Style performed "Proud Mary" at Junction's NYE party, and killed it:

Lady Gaga’s Born This Way dropped today, and I bought illegally downloaded it to see if it lived up to the whole self-proclaimed “album of the decade” hype. Since it’s only 2011, I think I’ll hold off on passing that particular judgment (although Britney’s record is better - so maybe I won’t).

Born This Way is a pioneering pop album that blends dance hits ("Fashion of His Love," "Born This Way") reminiscent of '80s Madonna and Whitney with more Bon Jovi-esque rock ("Edge of Glory," "You and I") and inventive electronica ("Government Hooker," "Electric Chapel") comparable to the likes of Ladytron and Client. Lady Gaga's acute vocal, songwriting, and production skills tie this album together flawlessly.

There is a religious theme throughout the record ("Judas," "Bloody Mary," "Black Jesus + Amen Fashion"), as well as a message of self-love and empowerment ("Hair," "Bad Kids"). My favorite is "Bloody Mary" (below) because it evokes powerful imagery combined with a dark and romantic beat. Born This Way is an interesting record filled with a few surprises and a unique track list that will be sure to satisfy all you holy tools fools.

If you wanna get your monster on, head over to Celebrities on Saturday, May 28 for a Born This Way release party. Go-gos, performances by the House of Celebs dance group and, starting at 11pm, Gaga impersonations by Chantel and Jaylene Tyme.
