Musical planets collided Thursday night when New York born Stefani Germanotta (aka Lady Gaga) shared the stage with Bruce Springsteen (aka The Boss) during the Rainforest Fund’s 21st Birthday Concert at Carnegie Hall in New York City.

VIDEO Six seasons of Lost’s Hurley saying “Dude!”

Remove sexiness from the equation and undoubtedly hefty Hugo “Hurley” Reyes is the greatest character to emerge from the six seasons of ABC’s Lost – and that’s coming from someone who thinks there are a LOT of great characters to emerge from the six seasons of ABC’s Lost!

John Locke is a close second, but he just can’t hang with the cuddly mass of Shaggy and Scooby-Dooness that is Hurley! He won the lottery, bought a fried chicken restaurant chain and he was the only one to realize how integral Volkswagen vans are to the inner workings of the cosmos!

But, perhaps most importantly, Hurley had the power to reel in the sometimes absurd and borderline over-the-top plot twists of the show, and he did it with a single four-letter word…

For Nashville: Top 5 Country Songs About Floods

The death toll from the recent flooding in Tennessee, Kentucky and Mississippi has risen to 31, according to reports from CNN.com.
