Lady Gaga to discuss anti-bullying at White House (AP)

WASHINGTON ? Lady Gaga is coming to the White House.

The pop singer is meeting with Obama administration staffers Tuesday to discuss her work on bullying prevention. The White House held an anti-bullying conference earlier this year, and the administration estimates that bullying affects 13 million students, or about a third of those attending school

However, Gaga won't have a chance to meet with President Barack Obama. He's traveling to Kansas for a speech on the economy.

The president and Gaga have met before. The singer attended a fundraiser for Obama's re-election campaign in California earlier this year.

Summary Box: China's thin error margin on property (AP)

TOO HEAVY A HAND? As economic growth wanes, Beijing has begun easing tight credit policies meant to cool inflation but China's leaders are insisting there is no leeway for loosening curbs on the housing sector. There are concerns that the campaign to cool overheated housing prices may go too far.

EFFECTS ELSEWHERE: With growth heavily dependent on construction and related industries, the slowdown already is sapping demand for domestic and imported products and materials and dampening Chinese investors' interest in buying properties overseas.

REAL ESTATE REALITY: The curbs are just beginning to let some air out of the property bubble, the Communist Party newspaper People's Daily proclaimed that the "time for making easy money is over." Barclays Capital forecast that prices could drop by 30 percent before stabilizing once the government begins to ease the curbs it used to bring the market under control as prices shot out of reach of many city dwellers.

Ethan Hawke Regrets Revealing The New 'Before Sunrise' Sequel

Vulture:

Last month, Ethan Hawke told a French magazine that he was developing a third Before Sunrise film with Richard Linklater and Julie Delpy, but when we caught up with him last night at the Plaza Hotel (where he was presenting a New York Stage and Film honor to Christopher Plummer) and asked him if the movie would really happen, Hawke hedged his bets a bit.
