Not that she is the biggest fan of Mitt Romney, mind you. She just doesn't want it "used in that way."

It has recently come to Cyndi Lauper's attention that her song, True Colors has been used by a campaign out to destroy the GOP candidate.

Angry over the the son usage, Cyndi took to her Twitter to explain to her followers her stance on the situation. She posted in a serious of tweets:

People, listen to us closely. If you're not voting for Misha B on The X Factor UK, you're choosing NOT to vote for the best of the rest that is competing this season. We were so happy she didnt get voted off in the sing-off last week and this performance is exactly why!

Check out the video to watch Misha B ch-ch-change up the arrangement on Cyndi Lauper's classic Girls Just Wanna Have Fun and see just how talented she truly is! (above)

We love her!!!

“I am a Madonna fan. She is a great artist, and whatever has been cooked up about us having issues with one another is just nonsense. We both had big records in the Eighties, and were always compared. But, like I said, she makes great music, looks amazing, has great style and taste, is a fashion icon, sells tons of records and tickets, puts on great shows, and is probably the smartest businesswoman out there; and, while doing all that, raising a family. Not only does she have it all, she does it all and well.”

She's such an inspiration!

Cyndi Lauper will be doing a star-studded True Colors holiday concert to benefit LGBT youth this December.

Celebs who will be making special appearances are Norah Jones, Amy Lee, Rosie O'Donnell, Wanda Sykes, Carson Kressley, Chely Wright, Skylar Grey, Vanessa Carlton, Angelique Kidjo, Harvey Fierstein, Deluka, Debbie Harry, Alan Cumming and Clay Aiken.

Cyndi was inspired to create the benefit concert after meeting with a group of young homeless gay and transgender teens in NYC several years ago. It's estimated that 30%-40% of all homeless youth identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender.

It's almost that time folks!

It's almost Spirit Day!!

Tomorrow, Thursday, October 20, millions will wear purple to show their support for the LGBT youth community.

Pioneered by teenager Brittany McMillan as a response to bullying provoked suicides, it's not just individuals taking part in the awareness. Schools, organizations, corporations, etc.. are all participating as well.

Celebrities like Ricky Martin, Cyndi Lauper, Conan O'Brien, Julianne Moore, Chaz Bono, and Mia Farrow, have all spoken out on their support. And we're sure we'll see a lot of other tweets about it too pretty soon!

Even MTV is changing their logo in support of raising awareness. Now THAT's how we like our MTV!

Not only that but Facebook, Viacom, Delta, PepsiCo, Goldman Sachs, Yahoo!, and American Airlines are notifying employees and encouraging participation.

The lights at LAX airport are even turning purple!

So what about U? Hmmm, perezcious readers?? How will U be supporting #SpiritDay?? If you need any good ideas, GLAAD has a ton of them, including ways to purple-fy your Facebook or Twitter photos!

After filming a PSA (above) with Susan Sarandon, Rebecca Romijn, Pete Wentz, etc., the girl who just wants to have fun just wanted to address something very serious!

And did she!!! Cyndi Lauper nearly wrote an essay on the importance of loving youth as they are while addressing some pretty horrendous statistics.

We've attached her entire article in whole for your convenience:

She's finally getting back to what she does best!

Cheryl Cole is currently in El Lay recording a new album!

Thank goodness!

It sounds like it's going to be hawt because she's currently laying down vocals at the famous studios underneath the Sunset Marquis hotel where famous celebs like Madonna, Sheryl Crow, Cyndi Lauper, and Chaka Khan have previously recorded albums.

A source says:

"Cheryl has loved working at the studios. Some of the female singers that have worked there before are her all-time heroes. It's been the perfect place for Cheryl to plunge head-first back into work again."

Agreed! We are super excited for this new album! And after Cheryl's insane year, we have a feeling there's going to be a lot of personal material. Welcome back, Chezza!
