Lady Gaga Turned Down $1 Million to Perform at GOP Convention

Anyone thinking Lady Gaga would betray her liberal fan base to perform for the likes of Mitt Romney and other top-ranking Republicans can rest easy. In legal documents in connection with a lawsuit filed by the Republican fundraising organization in a U.S. District Court in Washington D.C., American Action Network, against an entertainment vendor reveals that the "Judas" singer was offered a whopping $1 million to perform at the GOP convention but turned them down cold. "See what it would take to get Gaga instead of Dolly Parton," Meachum wrote in an email to the head of Cater America, the event production company the group is now suing. Meachum noted that conservatives were even willing to pony up an extra donation to a charity important to women's groups in hopes of persuading the "Judas" singer—who, ironically, is a strong supporter of President Barack Obama and hot-button issues like gay marriage that are anathema to conservatives. "Also, tell them that $150,000 will go towards a domestic violence shelter," he added. Alas, Lady Gaga didn't bite. And neither did Parton nor Pitbull, who Republicans wanted to line up for a Hispanic Leadership Network event. Those artists who agreed to perform included Journey (which sources told E! News earned $500,000) and Lynyrd Skynyrd, the latter of whom prompted the suit. AAN sued the vendor for the $350,000 it claimed it lost after the "Freebird" rockers canceled their concert due to Hurricane Isaac. As for why AAN would seek out Gaga, the group issued a statement saying the idea was never seriously considered, but didn't exactly deny they invited her. "In planning for our fundraiser in Tampa, e-mails we're exchanged between AAN fundraising staff and outside vendors exploring various performance options. AAN is an independent group and is no way affiliated with or connected to the [Republican National Committee] nor was the RNC ever privy to these internal discussions," the AAN said. "We considered some acts and didn't seriously consider others, but we were ultimately happy with a great Kid Rock concert. Our events were independent from the official convention and the RNC." The RNC also tried to distance itself from the story saying it "neither asked, offered, thought of or ever considered the idea of Lady Gaga performing at our convention." Source

I TOLD you I went to see Monster Ball or whatever it was, but only because someone took me and I didn't have to pay. I wasn't terribly impressed.
He even bought me a T-shirt. I wear it to go fishing.
You don't remember our conversations about it? There were a lot of little kids in the audience, and she was very inappropriate. How could you forget? |

Sorry but keeping track of your life isn't something I put a big priority on. But, I am flattered you keep such close tabs on me.

Well, why would any moron take little kids to see her in the first place? Duh. I went but didn't take my kids. However, her new tour is much more tame and I think would be fine for teens.

But, you have to admit she is a pretty good and caring person. So, not sure why you feel the need to attack her. If you want to attack me , attack me. But, it is quite curious you think that attacking her is attacking me. Bizarre.

I'm not having the exact same discussion with you again. You must be getting senile. We've been through this already. Quite a bit. In any case, I'm not attacking Lady Gaga. I didn't mind her at all until I had to deal with your obsessive hero-worship of her, to the point that you were banned because you just couldn't shut up about her, and had to insert her into every single thread.

And if your brain was firing on all cylinders then u would recall that I said her show was for adults and that taking little kids was inappropriate. |

Since you are continually responding to ME on a Gaga Thread where you know I will BE, it seems to be YOU who has the problem.
