Gaga on Bennett duet CD: Jazz comes easier Pet longhorn roams outside NEW YORK (AP) — Lady Gaga is a bonafide pop star, but the singer says recording jazz music was easier than pop. Gaga has spent two years recording an album of jazz standards with Tony Bennett called “Cheek to Cheek,” to be released this fall. “You know, it’s funny, but jazz comes a little more comfortable for me than pop music, than R&B music,” Gaga said in an interview Monday. “I’ve sang jazz since I was 13 years old, which is kind of like my little secret that Tony found out. So this is almost easier for me than anything else.” Gaga made the comments with Bennett by her side ahead of the duo’s taped performance at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City, where her parents attended. The 28-year-old and 87year-old Bennett first collaborated on his Grammywinning, platinum-selling 2011 album, “Duets II.” Bennett said fans will be impressed with Gaga’s vocal performance on the

upcoming album. “They’re going to say we had no idea she sings that well,” he said. “And they’re gonna say they had no idea that Tony dressed so crazy,” Gaga added, as Bennett smiled. “When you come out in your meat dress Tony, nobody is going to know what’s going on.”
“Cheek to Cheek” is Gaga’s first release since last year’s “Artpop.” Bennett released a collaborative album with Latin singers in 2012 called “Viva Duets.” The duo performed at the Montreal Jazz Festival earlier this month and surprised high school students at Bennett’s Frank
Sinatra School of Arts in Queens last month. Gaga, who is currently on her “Artrave: The Artpop Ball” tour, says she is “actually happier than I’ve ever been.” “There’s sixty years between us, and when we sing, there’s no distance,” she added about working with Bennett.

HELOTES, Texas (AP) — In Marin Hollow, deep in the Helotes Hill Country, lives a pet unlike the cats and dogs in the area. He’s Red the Longhorn, a mischievous steer that’s the color of rust-colored leaves. His horns stretch more than 6 feet, tip to tip, and slope like an old cowhand’s handlebar mustache. He weighs more than 600 pounds and is thick as an oil barrel. “He’s not fat. He’s just big-boned,” said Denise Moore, a neighbor he’s followed since he was a calf. “He’s a funny guy.” Red spends most of his day at Moore’s property, named Rachmones, which means compassion in Yiddish. Her husband, Craig Manifold, and their three children — Hanna, 23, Della, 20 and Caleb, 11 — all have stories of adventures with Red among the scrub brush and mesquite tree-lined fields. He’s photo-bombed an outside father-and-son portrait. He’s lapped up water from their swimming pool. And when it’s time to go home, he’s liable to gallop around Moore’s house, with his owner, Pat Langlinais, in hot pursuit. Born in Boerne, Red was purchased by Langlinais six years ago as a hobby. He hand-fed the calf that’s grown almost as tall
as a compact car. Red’s the only longhorn on his property, and was raised around horses on Moore’s adjacent land. “He’s just an oversized dog with horns,” Langlinais, 49, told the San Antonio Express-News. “He likes to lick your hand; he’s pretty gentle.” In recent years, the cattle have become a road stop attraction for travelers across the state. And increasingly, more people have taken them in as pets. According to the Presidential Pet Museum, President George W. Bush kept a longhorn named Ofelia at his ranch in Crawford. Longhorns like Red have been called yard art or pasture ornaments, but some breeders and ranchers take offense at use of the terms. They stress that longhorn are livestock, noted for their ability to adapt to harsh conditions and their lean cuts of beef. Laura Standley, editor of Texas Longhorn Magazine, said that people raise the animals for many reasons, such as an agricultural tax exemption. “It’s different things to different people,” Standley said. “They are all unique, sizes, patterns and horn sizes; they’re not just a standard cow. No two are the same.”
