Lady Gaga Claims She Went ‘Bankrupt’ During Monster Ball Tour

Posted by Christian Allaire on May 31st, 2011

Lady Gaga claims she went bankrupt during her ‘Monster Ball’ world tour, reports CTV.

With her tour earning an estimated $125 million and sold out tickets being the norm at every show, one would think Gaga was racking in the dough, right? Wrong.

Despite the success of the tour, Gaga claims the production of the show, from her couture costumes to many backup dancers and set design, caused her to actually spend more money than she was earning.

She told the ‘Financial Times’ newspaper: “I put everything in the show, and I actually went bankrupt after the first extension of the ‘Monster Ball’. And it was funny because I didn’t know! And I remember I called everybody and said, ‘Why is everyone saying I have no money? This is ridiculous, I have five number one singles’ — and they said, ‘Well, you’re $3 million in debt.’ ”

That’s too funny, but props to her for not compromising on the integrity of her show. If Gaga wants something, she’ll get it.

Gaga does admit to spending her hard earned cash, though, but not on who you think. The ‘Born This Way’ hit maker claims the only real riches she’s spent is for her parents.

“The only big things I’ve purchased are my dad’s heart valve and a Rolls-Royce for my parents, for their anniversary. And that was only because my dad had a Lady Gaga licence plate on our old car and it was making me crazy because he was getting followed everywhere, so I bought him a new car.”

I would really love to meet her parents, I think that would be an interesting interview. I couldn’t even imagine saying ‘yep, Lady Gaga is my daughter.’ But if she bought me a Rolls-Royce, I’m sure that wouldn’t be too difficult.

Avril Boycotted, Cancels Dancers Audition

Posted by andPOP Staff on February 5th, 2008

Avril Lavigne won’t be audition dancers for her upcoming tour today, after the Dancers’ Alliance called for a boycott.

An email that was sent to dancers scheduled to audition revealed that Lavigne was planning to pay her dancers below industry standards.

“The tour’s weekly rate is $1,250.00 inclusive of agency fee…after agency commission that would be $1,125.00 to you before taxes,” the email outlined, as posted on PerezHilton.com. “Management has offered no additional perdiem and no plus agency fee, which is standard in our industry.”

Via MySpace blog, the Dancers’ Alliance urged its members to show up to the audition – “not to participate, but to stand outside of the door encouraging any dancer who shows up NOT TO STEP INTO THE AUDITION.”

At 10:30 last night, Lavigne “opened up a new conversation with the agencies.”
