Lady Gaga’s Monster Ball tour stop on Sunday (December 19) was canceled in Paris, and now further details have emerged about why the show was called off.

“All 28 of my trucks for the Monsterball were detained by the French government going on over 26 hrs, 2 of my employees were arrested trying to get into Paris so we could perform,” Gaga, 24, explained on her Twitter yesterday. “I am furious and devastated, its unfair to my fans and to me.”

Bercy, the venue scheduled to host the show, explained that vehicles over 7.5 tons were temporarily banned from hitting the road because of snowy conditions across the country. Sunday’s show has been rescheduled for Tuesday (December 21)!

Gaga recently dished to the BBC that her next album, Born This Way, will be “a marriage of electronic music with major, epic, dare I even say, metal or rock ‘n’ roll, pop, anthemic style melodies with really sledge-hammering dance beats.” The first single is scheduled to be released in February of 2011.

Tracy Morgan is recovering from a kidney transplant and will miss at least two episodes of 30 Rock, according to EW.

“Tracy is doing well and taking some much needed time to recover after the surgery. He is looking forward to going back to work after the holidays,” said a rep for the 42-year-old comedian.

Tracy underwent the surgery around December 10 and will be out two or three episodes of the NBC comedy.

Executive producer Tina Fey and the writing team plan to address his absence “by saying he has some sort of a meltdown because of a good thing that’s happened to him,” EW reports.

Earlier this year, Tracy’s 30 Rock co-star Grizz Chapman also had a kidney transplant.

Here’s to hoping Tracy has a speedy recovery!

Adam Lambert brought the house down at the Y100 Jingle Ball in Miami earlier this month!

JustJared.com caught up with the 28-year-old rocker and learned about Adam’s holiday traditions and plans! Check it:

JJ: What was the best gift you received growing up as a kid?

AL: Early childhood, the Skeletor’s capital Gray Skull — the He-Man action toy. It was amazing, because it had a little microphone in the back with reverb so when you would talk into the mic it would make you sound like you had a haunting voice. It had a skull in the wall where you could move the mouth while you talked. It also had a little page where you can put the action figures with a slime reservoir on top, so you could slime them. I was really into that.

JJ: Was there a gift that you wish you had, but you never got?

AL: I always wanted those cars that you can actually sit in and drive in. The plastic ones like the Jeep, but I wanted the Corvette one of course — not to mess with Jeep, but I never got one.

JJ: What do you want under your Christmas tree this year?

AL: I’m not sure. I know it sounds a little bit corny, but I’ve been away for the past 6 months so honestly I think that spending some real time with friends and just kick it and hang out and feel normal, and that’s it.

JJ: Awesome. Are you on the naughty or nice list this year?

AL: Little bit of both. I like to straddle the line you know? Little controversial.

JJ: Any family traditions?

AL: Just drinking a lot of red wine and eating and laughing.

JJ: Who does the cooking?

AL: My dad can cook, my mom can cook, maybe I’ll try my hand in cooking this year.

JJ: Do you have a favorite holiday dish? Or a favorite dessert that you guys eat?

AL: No… again, that red wine is really the holidays to me.

JJ: If you could design an ugly Christmas sweater, what would you put on it?

AL: I would put a reindeer in overalls or something, giving you something so urban like “Yo, ho, ho” — something stupid like, gangster reindeer rap.

Natalie Portman draws her bow and arrow in this still from her new movie, Your Highness.

The film, out April 8, pays homage to fantasy films of the past, but Danny McBride, who stars and co-wrote the pic, insists that the intent was to honor pictures of the past.

“We didn’t want to make fun of them,” Danny told USA Today. “We really tried to make one of these films.”

As for the all-star cast of Natalie Portman, James Franco and Zooey Deschanel, director David Gordon Green “felt it was important to not fill the movie with comedians” but that he was impressed with the cast’s skills.

“James is insane,” Danny said. “He is good at everything. He really is like Superman.”

Is Julianne Hough’s video for “Is That So Wrong” too hot for TV?

In her new video, the 22-year-old entertainer rolls around on a bed and strips down to her bra and panties as she dances around her bedroom.

“Funny story,” Julianne said while performing the song in Boston last week. “I shot a music video for it… and CMT kind of banned it. Apparently I was taking off too many clothes as I was dancing around my bedroom. But I don’t know — I kind of liked it.”

However, CMT told Zap2It that the video was pulled because of pending contract negotiations, not the content. The network added that once the contract issues are resolved, the video will be put back in rotation.

DO YOU THINK Julianne’s new video is too sexy?

Yvonne Strahovski shows off a pair of angel wings - and her beloved furry friends - in a new Peta campaign.

The 28-year-old Chuck actress posed with her rescued dogs, Chazzie and Wilbur, in the new ad.

6 to 8 million abandoned animals enter shelters nationwide each year, and about half of them are euthanized.

“I think it’s really important that people become aware of the amount, the mass of animals that are sitting in shelters as opposed to people going out and just buying puppies that are being bred,” Yvonne said.

Nora (Camilla Belle), a law student, and Mary (Alexa Vega), an undergrad party girl, living with their father in a luxurious mansion in Beverly Hills.  Mary has become so "90210" she refuses to admit she is of Mexican descent.

When dad suddenly passes away, their posh lives are turned upside down.  They discover they have been left penniless and are forced to move into their estranged aunt Aurelia's (Adriana Barraza) modest but lively home in the Latino-centric Boyle Heights neighborhood of East LA. As they embrace the culture that for so long they refused to accept, they both discover romance, the true meaning of family, and they learn that the life of PRADA actually means NADA without love, family and community.
