Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga has been seemingly everywhere lately -- on the road with her Monster Ball Tour, meeting the Queen of England, shooting an episode of Oprah Winfrey's show that airs later today -- and the pop star's demanding schedule may have taken a toll on her health. The singer was scheduled to play at Indiana's Purdue University last night, but canceled the show at literally the last minute. After openers Semi Precious Weapons and Jason DeRulo performed at the college's Elliott Hall of Music, the crowd was informed "Lady Gaga will not be able to take the stage this evening due to sudden illness."

"Due to exhaustion and dehydration, Lady Gaga collapsed and passed out before her show tonight in West Lafayette, Indiana," the singer's publicist tells Rolling Stone. "Her physician has advised her to take a few days off to rest." Lady Gaga's rep didn't specify how long she'll be out of commission; the Purdue show has been rescheduled for January 26th.

Lady Gaga plays four very in demand shows at Radio City Music Hall starting Wednesday, 1/20.

Try some water, a Cliff bar, and no precious weapons.

the difference between asking prices and what actually is being paid is huge.
let me tell you, the demand is big but no one pays more than 200 to see her.
look at the huge inventory on CL,
prices gonna drop dead on day of the show.
no one in this country has the money for this.

Due to exhaustion and dehydration = drugs

unless you are an overweight football player on the first day of summer training session rarely do normal people in normal conditions suffer from exhaustion and dehydration without something damaging in their systems causing both symptoms..
I wish people would just come out and say it...
... bitch can't handle her drugs..

To the person who suggested Gaga was in normal conditions, go fuck yourself.

Bitch has been touring since the end of November consistently, which alone is hard enough on one's body. She's also under a lot of pressure + stress, constantly doing interviews, working with a ton of side projects... bitch is busy. I've collapsed before from much less, and I'm drug free and healthy.

Its been reported today at 530pm that Gag Ga is receiving gatorade enemas and advised to avoid being a narcissistic image whore with no interviews or shows for two whole days. Unfortunately there will also be no catered food for her for two hours.

Oh, and what about those question marks on Sunday's text in the concert poster below? No, that isn't saving a spot for a Smiths reunion or U2 debut on the Coachella stage, it's the way that Yorke presents himself as a solo star, the marquee at his Orpheum concert had the same punctuational flourish.
