A warning for those who will be in the audience at Lady Gaga's gig at Meydan Racecourse in Dubai on Wednesday – when she's performing onstage, you better listen. If you don't, she might stop singing. When the crowd at The Plaza hotel in New York was chattering while Gaga was performing jazz tunes on Friday, she stopped in the middle of her second song to complain about the noise. "Will you ... shut up? We're playing some jazz," she told the audience of a few hundred. "Goddamn rich people," she added. Gaga was performing at an exclusive New York Fashion Week party organised by Harper's Bazaar. She sang songs from her forthcoming collaborative jazz album with Tony Bennett, and dedicated a cover of Cole Porter's Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye to her family and her boyfriend, the Chicago Fire television actor Taylor Kinney. – AP

Toronto pays tribute to Bill Murray with a day in his honour

The Toronto Film Festival turned its second day into a new holiday – Bill Murray Day. "I get to park wherever I want," said a bemused Murray after a screening of Ghostbusters, which was part of a marathon of Murray classics on Friday that included Stripes and Groundhog Day, ahead of the premiere of St Vincent. Fans dressed up as beloved Murray characters, such as his ocean explorer character from The Life Aquatic and his army cadet character from Stripes. There was even a baby dressed as the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters. Murray's reaction: "That is one good-looking baby." He turned serious for a moment to say: "The only reason I've had the career life I've had is someone told me some secrets early on about living – the more relaxed you are the better you are." – AP

After a three-year break to have a family, the singer-turned-designer Gwen Stefani returned to New York Fashion Week at the weekend, rolling out modern tribal looks that had models frolicking on a platform surrounded by a gritty urban video installation from her long-time collaborator Sophie Muller. Wearing bright pink trousers from her L.A.M.B. brand, the No Doubt singer described her new dresses and trousers as a mash-up of tribal and graphic prints meet the Orange County girl, with a Jamaican vibe thrown in. – AP
