LADY GAGA REVEALS SHE TAKES ANTI-PSYCHOTIC MEDICATION: Lady Gaga has revealed that she takes anti-psychotic drug olanzapine because she “can’t always control what her brain does.” Olanzapine is used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar. She released a song about it on her latest album, Chromatica. Speaking to Zane Lowe on Apple Music’s Beats 1, Gaga explained: “I wrote a song on Chromatica called ‘911,’ and it’s about an anti-psychotic that I take and it’s because I can’t always control things that my brain does and I have to take medication to stop the process that occurs.” She added, “I know I have mental issues and I know that they can sometimes render me non-functional as a human.”

MAREN MORRIS DONATES MONEY TO NASHVILLE HIGH SCHOOL BAND: Maren Morris recently donated $70,000 to the band program at East Nashville Magnet High School via her Heroes Fund. She told The Tennessean that “public school music and theater departments (have) always held a special place in my heart.” Maren recalled how her own high school choir had to perform in “decade-old hand me down uniforms and sight read from torn books.” She said, “Now that I am where I am, it gives me so much joy to give back money to the spark that enflamed my interest as a creative human being. With so much uncertainty for public schools this year during COVID, I wanted East Nashville Magnet to have one less worry for their fine arts department.”
