GMTV in the UK recently interviewed Madonna, who described a dance-off she had with Lady Gaga.

Said Madonna: “We had a party in New York a couple of weeks ago for my manager. It was for his birthday and Lady Gaga was there and the DJ basically did a sort of a dance-off. So he would play one of her songs and then he would play one of mine and we both danced together in the middle and all of my dancers were around us. We just took turns dancing, too. I would dance to her songs and sing all the words and she did the same for me. It was really fun.”

(Olympia, Wash.) A federal judge on Thursday ordered the state of Washington to keep shielding the identities of people who signed petitions to force a vote on expanded benefits for gay couples.

U.S. District Judge Benjamin Settle in Tacoma granted the preliminary injunction involving petitions for Referendum 71 while a related case moves forward on the constitutionality of the state public records act.

The referendum, sponsored by a group called Protect Marriage Washington, asks voters to approve or reject the “everything but marriage” domestic partnership law that state lawmakers passed earlier this year.

In his ruling, Settle said he was “not persuaded that waiver of one’s fundamental right to anonymous political speech is a prerequisite for participation in Washington’s referendum process.”

Brian Zylstra, spokesman for Secretary of State Sam Reed, said that the judge’s decision “is a step away from open government.”

“When people sign a referendum or initiative petition, they are trying to change state law,” he said. “We believe that changing state law should be open to public view.”
