File this under people you didn’t expect to break bread together: Lady Gaga visited WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange at the Ecuadorian embassy in London Monday and ate dinner with him there, according to the Telegraph.

Gaga promoted her new perfume Fame with a tea party at the nearby Harrods department store before going to the embassy. She wore a black outfit and a pointed witch’s hat. They took a picture. According to the Telegraph, they spent five hours talking and Gaga left after midnight.

Assange, who is wanted in Sweden over alleged sex assaults on two women, has been at the Ecuadorian embassy since June and has claimed asylum.

Why did they meet? What did they talk about? It’s unclear. Representatives for the embassy and Gaga did not immediately respond to ABCNews.com’s requests for comment. But maybe this Sunday evening tweet from singer M.I.A. to Gaga has something to with it: “If ur at harrods today, come visit Assange at the Ecuador embassy across the st. im there. Ill bring TEA and CAKE.”

Secret Society

By Miranda Johnson

Looks like a few of our favorite artists are giving up a little of the rapping and dancing for some lights, camera, and action. Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, ?uestlove, and Will.i.am are set to star on an episode of “The Cleveland Show” on Fox this fall. The all-star musical bunch will appear in the season premiere “Menace II Secret Society” on October 7.

Whisperings about this episode were first heard last summer when Mike Henry, who voices Cleveland on the show told reporters, “We have an episode where Kanye and will.i.am, playing himself, and Nicki Minaj, playing herself, and Bruno Mars, playing himself, and ?uestlove—they’re all part of the rap Illuminati, the secret group that controls pop culture.”

The series’ executive producer Rich Appel explained more about the episode’s plot stating, “Cleveland inadvertently breaks into it and then it’s how he will either bring them down or they’ll bring him down,” he said. “We have a couple of original songs with Kanye and Will and Bruno, I mean, all of them, it was great.”

Unlike the rest of the bunch, this is not Kanye’s first time appearing on the series. The rap star, who rocked out Atlantic City’s Revel Resort this past weekend has been featured on several episodes of “The Cleveland Show” playing the voice of an aspiring young rapper named Kenny West. In West’s past episodes he covers everything from battling over his attractive girlfriend to helping rescue a timid little girl from a well.

London area mayor seeks removal of ‘anti-Semitic’ mural

New World Order Mural

(JTA) — A London mural depicting Jewish bankers is set to be removed following complaints that it has anti-Semitic undertones.

The London Jewish Chronicle reported that the council of the London borough of Tower Hamlets had said it was talking with police to have the image removed.

The mural, titled Freedom for Humanity, depicts a group of businessmen and bankers counting money around a Monopoly-style board balanced on the backs of men with dark complexions. It was reportedly spray-painted on private property. The Los Angeles-based artist, Kalen Ockerman, acknowledged that some of the bankers were Jewish but said the mural was not anti-Semitic.

“My mural is about class and privilege,” he wrote on his Facebook page. “The banker group is made up of Jewish and white Anglos. For some reason they are saying I am anti-Semitic. This I am most definitely not… What I am against is class.”

Lutfur Rahman, the Tower Hamlets mayor, said he “shares concerns” that the mural is anti-Semitic, and that it “perpetuated anti-Semitic propaganda about conspiratorial Jewish domination of financial and political institutions,” the Chronicle reported.
