WE What's Trending: Lady Gaga won't tone down concerts

Posted: Updated:

(CNN) - It looks like Lady Gaga wants her Little Monsters to see her concerts as they're meant to be or not at all.  The singer's manager says she'd cancel tour dates in Asia rather than tone down the shows to satisfy censors and religious groups.

Conservative Christians in South Korea and the Philippines, and militant Islamic groups in Indonesia, have accused Gaga of blasphemy and devil-worship.  Indonesian police are refusing to issue a permit for her June third show because of violence threats.  Censors were at the singer's Manila concert to make sure she didn't violate any permit terms with nudity or lewd conduct.

And there's a new singer to watch out for now Phillip Phillips won American Idol Wednesday night.  Phillips beat out Jessica Sanchez who was the runner up.  Phillips says he didn't even think he'd make it to see the judges in the early phase of the competition.  Past winners, including Carrie Underwood, also were on hand for the last show of season eleven.

Actress Sharon Stone has a new role -- defendant.  Her former nanny of four years is suing her. Erlinda Elemen says stone made derogatory comments about her Filipino ethnicity and violated labor laws.  Stone says the lawsuit is absurd and filed by quote: "a disgruntled ex-employee who is obviously looking to get money any way she can."  The actress says she will be vindicated in court.

Incredible images of the sun's surface are just released.

NASA just released this enhanced video to show the sun's intense activity in a different light.

The video was shot over 24 hours in September of last year.

NASA says there's no scientific value in this enhancement but it does make for a beautiful video.
