Great! album: After recording a duet with Tony Bennett in 2011 for his Grammy-winning “Duets II” album, art-pop singer and meat dress model Lady Gaga returned to the studio for a full album of duets with the 87-year-old crooner. The album of jazz standards, “Cheek to Cheek,” will be released Sept. 23.
