Rivers Cuomo, 39, and the band’s assistant were taken to hospital suffering minor injuries after the bus ended up in a ditch on the New York State Thruway on Sunday.

Cuomo’s wife and two-year-old were also onboard the bus but were not hurt in the crash.

The band was on their way from Toronto to Boston where they had been scheduled to perform today (Monday).

Light snow had fallen in the region over the weekend.

The bizarre singer made the admissions as she was interviewed as one of US journalist Barbara Walters ‘Most Fascinating People of 2009′.

“I was fearless with my ambitions. I had this dream and really wanted to be a star,” Gaga told Walters.

“I left my family, school and said I want to do it alone. I got three jobs waitressing. I was good at serving Italian food in heels.”

Gaga tells Walters how she styles herself on her idols David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Marilyn Monroe and Judy Garland.

“All the kookiness, the blood and the craziness is my way of trying to understand that image,” she said.

“I’m part designer lover, part fashionista and part handmade garments on my own. I made a lot of my clothes.

She added: “My friends started to call me Gaga. They said I was very theatrical and that although I’m in pop music, there was a performance-art element to the show, like Freddie Mercury. So they said, ‘You’re Gaga’.”

Vinnie Chase and his gang may get the ‘Sex and the City’ treatment when it finishes as a TV show in two years’ time.

Executive producer Mark Wahlberg has hinted that plans for a movie version of the hit TV show are already being developed.

Boyle, 48, has made an estimated $9m in the past four months alone, according to the New York Post.

Musician Alexa, the daughter of Joel and Christie Brinkley, called 911 on Saturday after allegedly swallowing eight Traumeel tablets.

The homeopathic painkiller tablets are reportedly not capable of causing an overdose.

The drama unfolded when Alexa, reportedly distraught over the end of a romance, took the pills and panicked, according to the New York Post.

Emergency medical teams received a message from dispatchers, which read: “Female caller. Took eight pills. Wants to die. Now feels funny. Wants to live.”

Joel, 23, was taken to Manhattan’s St Vincent’s Hospital where she spent Saturday night before being released.

“It was more like a cry for help,” a source told the Post.

Friends of Joel say she was upset from her break-up with musician boyfriend Jimmy Riot.

The 35-year-old actress stars alongside Kate Hudson, Nicole Kidman, Fergie, Sophia Loren, Marion Cotillard and Judi Dench in the hit movie.

Cruz plays the role of Daniel Day Lewis’s mistress Carla and her big dance number involves rope and satin sheets.

She told the UK’s Sunday Times Culture magazine: “When I saw the choreography the first day, I thought it was almost impossible to be able to get to dance and sing like that, and do the whole number at once without stopping.

“It was three months of rehearsing for that number, every day a little more, a little more. The day that you get to run the number without stopping, you feel like you are flying - such a beautiful feeling.”

Cruz added that she really enjoyed her first professional singing role and practised hard for the part. She said: “I’m a very big fan of music. I sing at home in my karaoke machine and in the shower, but it was the first time professionally. I loved it.”

The 64-year-old actress has previously had some famous liaisons with stars such as Liam Neeson and Nicol Williamson and is now married to the US director Taylor Hackford.

She told the UK’s Weekend magazine: “I’ve learned a lot of things from boyfriends in my life. I had one boyfriend who loved music - I’m very unmusical myself - so all my information about music comes from him.

“I had another who loved boxing. He taught me all about it, and now I love it too. I love learning new things.

“That’s one thing I don’t want to change as I get older, and I think if we are not careful we can get a little bit single-minded or bigoted, or think we know it all.

“We can start cutting things off, and I don’t want that to happen to me.”

The 62-year-old Rolling Stones star was recently arrested on suspicion of assault and it has now been claimed that he has thrown Ekaterina, 20, out of their Surrey home.

She reportedly texted friends: “Ronnie wants me out and I don’t know what to do.”

A pal told UK newspaper The Sun: “I think she realises Ronnie is serious. He’s had enough of the whole thing.

“They are both fiery but as far as Ron is concerned he picked Katia out of the gutter. He can just as easily put her back.”

The 62-year-old guitarist left Jo, 54, last year for 20-year-old Ekaterina Ivanova but he reportedly recently broke down after drinking two bottles of vodka.

The breakdown allegedly came after three weeks of rows with Ekaterina, which led to his arrest for assault after a public bust-up.

A source told UK newspaper The People: “Ronnie would do anything to get Jo back. He still loves her to death and wants to spend the rest of his life with her.

“Ronnie told Tyrone and a bodyguard he wants to hatch a plan to get Jo back. That is his main priority - not Ekaterina. He knows he did the wrong thing ditching Jo and realises he fell for the wrong girl in Ekaterina.”

Madison, 29, and Wilkinson used to live together at the Playboy mansion but since leaving, the girls haven’t seen so much of each other.

Wilkinson, 24, is expecting a baby boy later this month with husband Hank Baskett, 27.

Madison told Usmagazine.com: “It just sucks that she’s all the way in Indiana because I want to be there, but I’ll see the baby soon enough.”

She added: “Hopefully next month, I’ll get to see the baby. We text all the time and she’s really excited. She’s happy as can be.”
