 Lady Gaga serenades Bill Clinton and talks about her Marilyn moment   See video

Lady Gaga got a chance to serenade former President bill Clinton during a concert to commemorate Clinton’s foundation held in Los Angeles on Saturday, October 15, called “A Decade of difference: A Concert Celebrating 10 Years of the William J. Clinton Foundation.”

The concert included performers like Kenny Chesney, Usher, Bono and The Edge, Somali rapper K’Naan and Colombian singer Juanes.

However, it was Lady Gaga who stole the show with two custom renditions of her hit songs “Bad Romance” and “You and I.”

Clinton has been celebrating his belated 65th birthday (which was on August 19) with a three-day Hollywood party, including a gala dinner with a performance by Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks on Friday, a brunch on Saturday morning, the Hollywood Bowl concert on Saturday night and a Presidential Golf Outing on Sunday.

Lady Gaga whished President Clinton a happy birthday during her set. “I am having my first Marilyn moment — I always wanted to have one,” the singer said, referring Marilyn Monroe’s rendition of “Happy Birthday” which she sang to then President John F. Kennedy in may 1962. “And I was hoping that it didn’t involve an accident with some pills and a strand of pearls, so here we are.”

The singer then performed several of her hits including “The Edge of Glory” and “Bad Romance” which she changed to “Bill Romance.” During her performance of “You and I” she changed the lyrics from “You said sit back down where you belong / In the corner of my bar with your high heels on / Sit back down on the couch where we / made love the first time and you said to me” to “So Hillary or bill, sit back down where you belong / In the oval office with those high heels on / Sit down on a couch while we / Watched you charm the whole world in the country.”

Proceeds from the concert will go to the William J. Clinton Foundation, which has sought to improve global health, strengthen economies worldwide, protect the environment and promote healthier childhoods.

The adrenaline coursing through Stevie Nicks is palpable, even over the phone.

The Fleetwood Mac vocalist is pumped up about her forthcoming solo album, “In your Dreams,” and her co-headlining tour with Rod Stewart, which stops Wednesday at the St. Pete Times Forum.

“Much of the new material was inspired by a trip to Italy, which was just fantastic,” Nicks said while calling from her Los Angeles home. “This is such an incredible time for me. I wrote the most romantic ballad I’ve ever written that was inspired by my time in Rovello, Italy. I also wrote a rock n’ blues song that kind of sounds like Canned Heat. You have to hear these songs.”

Nicks, 62, is anxious for her fans to experience her new tunes, which will be performed at the Forum.

But with Nicks, you can also expect an array of familiar tunes as well as some choice deep album cuts. But according to the veteran singer-songwriter, she will keep fans guessing throughout the show.

“You’ll never know what I’ll do,” Nicks said. “I’m a master at sequencing. I’m the one who sequenced for Fleetwood Mac. I sequenced ‘Rumours.’ everyone loves my sequences. They’re fun.”

Don’t be surprised to witness some Nicks/Stewart duets. Also, after the tour ends, it wouldn’t be shocking to find Nicks singing along with her Fleetwood Mac band mates.

Nicks doesn’t have much time for Fleetwood Mac now but she insists that she’ll be back with her band at some point.

“Once this (touring) cycle ends, I can definitely see getting back in the studio for another album with Fleetwood Mac or at least going on tour with the band. we did a world tour (in 2009) and did 83 dates,” Nicks said.

“We’ve had too many good times and we have all of those great songs.”

Nicks, who still exudes a youthful ardor, hopes to write material for many years.

“I really feel like a teenager at times,” Nicks said. “I’m just so inspired. I can’t see stopping writing. I’m still seeing parts of the world for the first time and it’s moving me. I still have to express myself as a writer and of course, as a performer.”

What does the song "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac mean to you?

 What does the song "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac mean to you?

To me, it makes me reflect on my life, and how the time with my friends and family are too short, and the good times and memory's I wish I could have made with them are slipping away while everyone is taking each other for granted and living with grudges, and how it's such a shame that we don't make more room for forgiveness, and put some of our pride to the side for the sake of love…..also I think of the dreams I once had are expired, and its time for me to accept it, and move on, that's life..right.

what about you?

I love Stevie Nicks, another favorite is Silver Springs. I think we all face the fear of change, getting older, and not achieving what we want out of life. Just when we think everything looks perfect, it all comes crashing down. Kind of like how the mountains look with the snow, perfect but dangerously so…one little shift and everything is gone in the blink of an eye. so that is what the song means to me!
