Lady Gaga jets off to Mexico after ending her engagement
After a busy awards season for her first major motion picture role and a split from her fiance, Christian Carino, Lady Gaga's more than due for a little R&R. And that's just what she's been getting ahead of the Oscars, albeit on a trip that may not have been the most fun vacation ever. "Gaga spent Valentine's Day in Cabo with friends," a source tells People. "They stayed in a gorgeous oceanfront villa in a gated community. The weather was amazing. They took a yacht out one day. Gaga enjoyed a lot of pool time… It seemed like the most perfect vacation, the insider continued. "Yet, you could tell everything was not great with Gaga. She seemed a bit gloomy and low energy. On previous vacations, she has had much more energy and looked happier. It was obvious that she was going through something." She reportedly left Cabo on Monday, Feb. 18, a day before her rep confirmed she'd split from Christian and called off the engagement. A source later told Page Six she was spotted with friends at Acre, a resort on Mexico's Baja peninsula that bills itself as a "lush sanctuary set on 25 acres of abundant greenery." The singer's due back in the States at the Oscars on Sunday, where she's up for Best Actress and Best Song for her work on "A Star Is Born."

Miley Cyrus opens up about being 'a queer person … in a hetero relationship'
Marrying Liam Hemsworth hasn't changed the "fluid sexuality" Miley Cyrus has said she identifies with. Speaking to Vanity Fair for the magazine's March cover story, the newly married singer explains how what she calls her "New Age" version of marriage means to her. "We're redefining, to be f—ing frank, what it looks like for someone that's a queer person like myself to be in a hetero relationship. A big part of my pride and my identity is being a queer person," she says. "What I'm in love with exists on almost a spiritual level. It has nothing to do with sexuality. Relationships and partnerships in a new generation — I don't think they have so much to do with sexuality or gender. Sex is actually a small part, and gender is a very small, almost irrelevant part of relationships." Miley also suggests that the experience of losing the home she shared in Malibu with Liam may have inspired them to say "I do" more than anything. "What Liam and I went through together changed us," she admits. "I'm not sure without losing Malibu, we would've been ready to take this step or ever even gotten married, who can say? But the timing felt right and I go with my heart. No one is promised the next day, or the next, so I try to be 'in the now' as much as possible."

Lisa Rinna explains that birthday message gaffe to Lisa Vandermpump
Lisa Rinna found herself with some major explaining to do after wishing Lisa Vanderpump a "happy birthday" with a tweet showing a cupcake covered in pills — perhaps the wrong image to send someone whose brother recently committed suicide after sending his fiancee a picture of rows of painkillers. "Let's be really clear about this. Lisa Vanderpump and I have a pill joke. She was part of the whole pill bag situation," Lisa said on "Watch What Happens Live" this week, according to the Daily Mail. The "pill bag situation" was a joke on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," but Lisa told Andy Cohen she "had no idea" at the time that her costar's brother had taken his own life. She said she'd simply noticed no other cast members were wishing Lisa a "happy birthday." "And I thought, 'Well, that's not cool. I'm going to wish her a happy birthday. That's my cheeky — you know, we have pill humor!," she explained. She shared a similar sentiment on Twitter after the fact, writing, "I did not know her brother died of suicide. She never told me. I would never have tweet d the cupcakes if I had known. My own sister died of a drug overdose when I was 6."
