Lady Gaga Tour Losing Money

Lady Gaga

New York Magazine published an article on singer Lady Gaga, now being called Lady CaCa and alternatively Lady HaHa online, due to her odd antics and strange, contrived fashion sense and in it they revealed the person behind the persona dressed and behaved nothing like the singer we see today.

The article accurately paints her as a creation of producer and then boyfriend, Rob Fusari, who has since sued her for $30 million dollars, in a breach of contract dispute, regarding the 20% stake he holds in her company.

The article gives a very unflattering glimpse at Gaga, who stated, “I don’t like Los Angeles. The people are awful and terribly shallow, and everybody wants to be famous but nobody wants to play the game. I’m from New York. I will kill to get what I need.”

In a related item, it was reported her current tour, that has angered parents in Australia, due to its vulgar language and crass sexual content, is actually in the red, as Gaga is demanding a costly stage show that does not recoup its costs after ticket sales.

Lady Gaga: The Early Years

March 29, 2010, 12:15 PM ET - ...Among the noteworthy details: Gaga’s current tour is reportedly losing money (as much as $3 million, according to insiders cited in the piece) because she refuses to cut corners on the elaborate stage show...

Grigoriadis on Gaga’s interview presentation: “Gaga spoke carefully in a very odd accent—some combination of Madonna as Madge and a robot, an affect enhanced by the fact that she refused to remove her lightly tinted sunglasses over the course of two hours.”

Gaga on her diet: “Pop stars should not eat.”

Former Gaga producer Rob Fusari on her fashion faux-pas: “Gaga wasn’t into fashion at this point: She liked leggings and sweatshirts, maybe with a shoulder out. “A couple times, she came to the studio in sweatpants, and I said, ‘Really, Stef?’ ” says Fusari. “ ‘What if I had Clive Davis in here today? I should call the session right now. Prince doesn’t pick up ice cream at the 7-Eleven looking like Chris Rock.”...

Cops Concerned About Lindsay Lohan Seek A 5150

Who Knew They Made Cocaine Shoes?

That better be baby powder (who am I kidding, she'd sniff that too)

Los Angeles Police Department, tired of crazy one time child star, Linday Lohan calling them all the time regarding paparazzi attention she strategically seeks out, wish to place her on a 5150 psychiatric hold. In short, they want to Britney Spears her.

Lindsay Lohan: What? Doesn't everyone have cocaine on their shoes (er, no)

Both Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan are members of the Kabbalah cult who have gone schizophrenic, thanks to what the cult has taught them and continues to reinforce.

In a Chris Tucker type voice: Girl, your cocaine is on your shoes!

The fact of the matter is they love the attention and Kabbalah instructs them to immerse themselves in it., even though it is a public nuisance, as it brings attention, publicity and visibility to the cult.

Someone call the cartels - Lindsay found a new way to import cocaine

Another Kabbalah cult member who has been acting crazier than ever...Lady Gaga. You would think these newer artists in Hollywood would have learned by now, but Kabbalah offers them all sorts of career incentives and protection, otherwise they'll trash your career, so they join and get in way over their heads with the depravity they are exposed to in the cult.

One Person Saw Uma Thurman's Motherhood Film

...In Britain

Uma Thurman in "Motherhood"

Actress, Uma Thurman's latest film "Motherhood" has set a record for the lowest grossing major motion picture film in history. In Britain, only one person went to see it at the theatre on the first day it was released. To the one, single, solitary Brit that saw this movie: did you stumble into the wrong theatre?

In America, it has made $100,000 thus far, which is very poor for a major release. It places this turkey firmly in "Swept Away" territory. What this will spell for Thurman's career could not be good, as the film cost $5.5 million to make and millions more to market to global audiences. Whoever greenlit this disaster will most likely have to change their name in Hollywood.

Uma Thurman's box office record - $150 opening weekend

March 28, 2010 1:20AM - Uma Thurman has gone from Hollywood star to box office poison - but who is to blame

UMA Thurman's new film has broken box office records in Britain - it took a paltry £88 ($150) in its opening weekend, with no more than a dozen people bothering to see it.

In fact so bad was Motherhood's performance, that its entire box office takings for its debut Sunday were £9, meaning just one person bought a ticket, The Guardian reported...

Despite costing a reported $5.5 million to make, it grossed little over $100,000 in the US last year...

Obama Angers Republicans With Appointment Threat

U.S. President Barack Obama

U.S. President Barack Obama reportedly seeks to appoint individuals to 15 new government posts, during the upcoming two week Congressional recess, which has angered Republican senators. The name of the measure is a "recess appointment." Boy, Obama's on a roll with angering the Republicans, isn't he.

Sarah Palin

Meanwhile, former Republican Vice Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, has been firing up Tea Party supporters, with the goal of voting out rival Democrats this year and in 2012.

Obama Announces 15 Recess Appointments, Scolds GOP

(AP) WASHINGTON (AP) - Fed up with waiting, President Barack Obama announced Saturday he would bypass a vacationing Senate and name 15 people to key administration jobs, wielding for the first time the blunt political tool known as the recess appointment.

The move immediately deepened the divide between the Democratic president and Republicans in the Senate following a long, bruising fight over health care. Obama revealed his decision by blistering Republicans, accusing them of holding up nominees for months solely to try to score a political advantage on him...

New Developments In The School Webcam Spying Case

v

The Blake Robbins vs. Lower Merion School District spying case has taken a few more turns. Vice Principal, Lindy Matsko, is running from giving a deposition, as requested by the 15-year-old's lawyer, for fear "he will ambush her" in court.

Well, she and the school's management should have thought about that before they inexcusably confronted and ambushed a 15-year-old boy, with a photograph of himself in his bedroom, secretly taken by a school laptop's webcam, in misconduct they commissioned without his knowledge or that of his family.

It's amazing how people will engage in the perversion of spying on people in their homes, but when their illegal misdeeds are named and shamed publicly, they take the cowardly approach and run for cover.

I ask the site's readers, can you imagine someone coming up to you in a public setting, telling you what is going on in the privacy of your home, due to the illegal surveillance cams they have spying on you in your house. It is abominable and extremely perverted.

Vice Principal Lindy Matsko

The school's management deserves every bit of the shame being heaped upon them for this nastiness. It takes a deprave set of minds to do something like this.

The U.S. Judiciary Committee, a division of the Congress, has also scheduled a hearing into the spying case, as it has alarmed the nation and is quite sick.

The Robbins, all the other students and their families, deserve to know when they were spied on and the frequency thereof. Stop trying to launch a cover up. The case should proceed, the evidence uncovered, people imprisoned and laws enacted to ensure this perversion never transpires again.

There also needs to be laws barring the FBI from engaging in this type of misconduct, as they are currently doing the same to people in America, under the guise of law enforcement surveillance, when it is a sick invasion of privacy.

Hacker Sentenced To 20-Years In Prison

Albert Gonzalez

A hacker that breached the computer security of a number of American stores, to steal millions of dollars from merchants, has been correctly sentenced to 20-years in prison for his crimes.

Miami hacker, Albert Gonzalez, was on the receiving end of a U.S. District Judge's wrath, who threw the book at him, for hacking into the computer systems of the stores Barnes And Noble, Office Max, Dave and Buster's, Hannaford Supermarkets and 7-Eleven.

Judge Douglas P. Woodstock, stated the hacker damaged the U.S. economy via his actions and that he did. The U.S. economy is already in freefall. It doesn't need electronic thieves expanding the damage as well.

It was a crime of greed, as he stole millions in credit card numbers from retailers, even going so far as to bury $1 million dollars in pilfered money in his parents backyard, which federal agents located and dug up.

That kind of security breach is inexcusable, dangerous and unnecessary. He should have sought gainful employment like everyone else, utilizing his computer abilities, rather than resorting to crime with the intention of becoming wealthy at other people's expense.

For everyone who has been the victim of identity theft, due to a lazy, shiftless hacker sitting at home in his underwear, cruising the internet for ill-gotten gains, the sentence is just, as the economic damage and consumer inconvenience it creates is significant. It is not a victimless crime.

Some identity thieves love to excuse their conduct by stating banks are rich and they can afford the losses. Still, it's not your money for you to decide what it should be spent on.

There is also another angle to the crime. Victims of identity theft spend many distressed hours trying to straighten out their credit reports and bank accounts after being targeted by hackers. It's time for such hackers to spend substantial time in prison thinking about what they did.

I recently had to spend time helping a friend straighten out her credit report and bank account after she was targeted by identity thieves.

The money had been illegally removed from her account via identity theft and as a result, while she was away for two weeks, tending to funeral arrangements for her dad, her mortgage, credit card and utility bills bounced.

When she went to the bank and discovered what happened, she broke down and started crying, as it could not have come at a worst time.

I had to call different credit bureaus for her to report what happened, enabling them to flag her account/social security number as a victim of identity theft, in the event the thieves decided to do further damage.

Then we had to go to the bank for a long time, who in turn had to thoroughly go through her account, print out all the details/activity and write, then fax letters to her mortgage, utility and credit card companies, advising them of what transpired and not to hold it against her, as the bank was issuing a temporary monetary credit to cover the damages, until they could go after the identity thieves through the authorities, to get the stolen money bank.

She was grieving for her dad and already depressed, then she had to sit in a bank for hours to face this ordeal, because some identity thief won't get a real job. Lock them up, is the Judiciary Report's assessment.
