Rufus Wainwright, Scarlett Johansson and Fred Armisen as Prince.
In one of the most unusual pairings ever, Rufus Wainwright, Scarlett Johansson and Fred Armisen (from Saturday Night Live)dressed as Prince performed a song called “Mister Pussy” at Carnegie Hall on October 4, 2009 as part of Gavin Friday’s AIDS benefit concert. As the comedian-currently-dressed-as-Prince made his way to the stage, Rufus kept whispering “Pussy” into the microphone. It was definitely the funniest moment of the star-studded evening. Was this an homage to Prince’s classic Pussy Control? Only Jehovah knows for sure, but the audience sure seemed to love it.

Lady Gaga live at Carnegie Hall
Here’s a sentence I thought I’d never say: I saw Lady Gaga perform a piano version of “Pokerface” at Carnegie Hall.
Hot off canceling her world tour with Kayne West and announcing a solo tour instead and then performing on Saturday Night Live with Madonna, Lady Gaga turned up at Carnegie Hall for Gavin Friday’s AIDS benefit to perform “Pokerface.” She joked that Bono had called her up and asked if she would perform in “Downtown New York for an AIDS benefit.” She agreed, but said “this is not downtown, but when you are used to performing for 90,000 people every night, he might have been confused.” (Carnegie Hall is located in New York’s Mid-Town area).
Don’t let her stage costumes fool you. This woman can sing!
See some more pictures that will make you go Gaga after the jump.
