Ayu shows no skin in the video... So, no, I doubt they would. Not that I like Fox news, I just think it's stupid that Ayu can be compared to the skank-nastiness that was Telephone >.<

i mean the whole bdsm thing going on. you don't have to show skin to be considered raunchy, provocative, or over sexed. I bet there would be some serious discrimination towards that video. they wouldn't understand what was going on. (not like the japanese understand the video any more than we do)

There is a bdsm porn movie based on sparkle video :B
Noidea found a teaser on youtube once

[Cherry Dynamite]

^ LOL you should't mention that.. That's like forbidden here xD

So I was planning to buy tickets to see Lady Gaga and now I wonder if I will. These tickets are expensive. Even the tickets on the balcony are more expensive then the ones on the floor.

Some people are alleging that Beyonce is not always in the video. That they put in a Beyonce stand in to take her place and super imposed her face at some points. Is that true or just talk?

[zoomzoom]

The tickets are really expensive, like.. close to quadrupling the prices of the original Monster Ball. It kinda goes against how she said "I wanna keep the prices low so all my fans can come see me, without blowing all of their money. It is a bad economy we're in."

But I guess the rumors about the original Monster Ball running in a bad deficit were true.

[emi♡]

Fox News wouldn't say anything about Ayu's PV. They wouldn't even say anything about Gaga if her liberal stance and support for the gay community wasnt so strong, in conjunction with her popularity among the youth. It's all about fear with them.

They don't have anything else...but moving away from that crappy part of my country...


@tem tem: I dont know if I'm gonna go...if tickets are still on sale during the summer I might go...it would be so awesome...I dont know what the prices are though yet...quadruple the amount...any amount lol does not sound good.

[Sundae]

I'm seeing prices from $50 to $190 and that's just the presale prices for the Virgin Mobile and Citi users. Or spend $400 for the VIP package.

[Ayumi27]

@_@ Weren't her tour tickets like 40 bucks just months ago? $190 is kind of crazy for any new artist, even though the show is great

haha!

Did you also hear in which scene that's supposed to be? I don't think it's true cause it really is Beyoncé all the time as far as I can see!

Well they COULD have hired a stand-in when she walks in the diner with the big sunglasses and the hat, but honestly why would they do that? I Don't see the point.

Interesting rumor but I don't believe it!

That is quite interesting! I am taking a marketing course this term, and someone in my class mentioned about the product placements during class.

The person in my class asked our teacher to play the music video during class time, but our teacher didn't allow it. But maybe next week we can try to persuade our teacher to play the Telephone MV, hehe.

We spent about 5 minutes talking about the MV in class though, like about some of the product placements, which was kinda neat, but I think what would be more neater is if our whole class got to see the music video.

The prices are $52-$178 for the HP Pavillion in San Jose. Not bad at all, I was expecting way more than that. I can afford $52 to $100, but other than that no. I'll be buying two tickets, so $200 is my limit or less.

I hope you can go emi

[ayujarl]

[milky_way]

Gaga has bigger problems than what Fox news has to say. She is being sued by her "ex boyfriend"(according to him)/producer Rob Fusari for $30.5 million. He says that he discovered Lady Gaga and he deserves this money. He also says he came up with her name, help write the songs 'Paprazzi' and 'Beautiful, Dirty, Rich', and got her her record deal. In response, she is counter-suing.

Full overview

Spoiler:

The cause of the case is breach of contract. The case is 20 pages (116 paragraphs) long in addition to two appendices with copies of the contracts between Fusari and Lady Gaga (Stefani and Joe Germanotta). The case opens with the famous epithath, "Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned" (William Congreve), and is followed by the now also famous lines, "All business is personal. When those personal relationships evolve into romantic entanglements, any corresponding business relationship usually follows the same trajectory so that when one crashes they all burn. That is what happened here."

After jurisdiction is asserted in New York, the case recounts how Fusari and Gaga (then Stefani Germanotta) met via Wendy Starland, who was already working with Fusari. When Fusari met Ms. Germanotta, he "was expecting someone a little more grundge-rocker than the young Italian girl
'guidette' that arrived at his doorstep and was worried that he had made a mistake. Fusari then asked her to play one of her songs on the studio piano and within seconds realized that Germanotta had star potential. The trick would be coaxing it out of her... Fusari thought Germanotta’s songs were brilliant but lacked commercial appeal... Fusari finally convinced Germanotta to abandon rock riffs and add dance beats." Fusari also created the new artist name. "One day when Fusari addressed a cell phone text to Germanotta under the moniker 'Radio Ga Ga' his cell phone’s spell check converted 'Radio' to 'Lady.' Germanotta loved it and 'Lady Gaga' was born."

The case then reports on the romance that developed between Fusari and Gaga, when "the two began to spend all of their time together as a couple. Germanotta started staying over at Fusari’s home and Fusari, in turn, began socializing with Germanotta’s family, regularly dining
with Germonatta’s parents and siblings at their home in Manhattan." A first contract between Fusari and Gaga was signed in May 2006. Fusari then introduced Gaga to Laurent Besencon, who became her manager, and ensured the contract with Island Def Jam, which was to release an album in May 2007. A new contract was signed in September 2006. When "Germanotta was unexplainably dropped from IDJ after only three months..., the stress of the set-back with IDJ also negatively impacted the personal relationship between Fusari and Germanotta. The couple was now constantly bickering as Germanotta became more and more verbally abusive towards Fusari. Fusari wanted to return their relationship to a purely professional level, so in January 2007, he ended their romantic involvement."

Besencon eventually introduced Gaga to RedOne, while Fusari was no longer involved in creative decisions. Eventhough Fusari introduced Gaga to Vince Herbert, who signed her to Interscope, he was again "being frozen out of the actual negotiations that were taking place between TLC and Interscope... After a while, Germanotta and her father stopped taking his telephone calls or otherwise responding to Fusari’s texts and emails."

Finally, the case details four counts of breach of agreement, a fifth count of breach of fiduciary duty, and a sixth count of accounting, for a total of $30.5 million and the "costs of this action, including reasonable attorneys’ fees."

During the dance scene, there are times she is not there. So I guess they think she wasn't there during the initial filming or something.
