Lady Gage aims lawsuit at ex-producer Rob Fusari for conning her into signing illegal contract

Saturday, March 20th, 2010

Don’t mess with Lady Gaga.

The wild-styled singer fired back at her former producer Friday in a lawsuit saying he’s the one who broke the law by duping her into signing an illegal contract.

Lady Gaga’s ex-lover and producer, Rob Fusari, sued the singer for more than $30 million on Thursday, claiming he came up with her stage name and co-wrote some of her hit songs.

But Gaga’s lawsuit says the contract between her and Fusari is invalid because Fusari was not a licensed talent agent.

Not only do Gaga’s lawyers want Fusari’s suit thrown out, they want him to pay damages to the superstar singer for trying to take advantage of an “inexperienced performing artist.”

Fusari made Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, “enter into an unlawful arrangement” when he made her sign a contract giving him rights to her future earnings, the suit says, calling his actions “predatory and financially abusive.”

“The … arrangement was structured in such a way as to mask its true purpose – to provide the defendant unlawful compensation for their services as unlicensed employment agents,” the suit says.

Germanotta and Fusari met in March 2006 when he was looking for a female rocker with “garage band chops,” according to his lawsuit.

The producer, who worked with Destiny’s Child on “Bootylicious,” says he persuaded Germanotta to add dance beats to her music and call herself Lady Gaga.

Fusari’s lawyer, Robert Meloni, called the claim “ludicrous” when he read the suit last night.

“Rob was no more of an ‘agent’ for her than she is a Roman Catholic nun,” Meloni said.

Dakota Fanning, Your New Homecoming Princess

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

No this was no film shoot or publicity stunt — that’s actually teen superstar Dakota Fanning cheering for her high school, North Hollywood’s Campbell Hall Episcopal, and then being named homecoming princess on Friday night during the big game against Crespi Carmelite High School in Encino, Calif. It’s all a far cry from the rock and roll rebel she spent all summer playing in The Runaways.

Police, Celebrity Gossip Photographers Talk Dennis Quaid Out of DUI

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

Dennis Quaid was thisclose to being popped for DUI last night.

At Philippe restaurant in West Hollywood early this morning. Quaid, his wife Kimberly and a friend walked outside where valet had already brought their car.

The motor was running, they got in and Quaid got behind the wheel.

He turned the wheel a matter of inches but had not yet shifted it into drive when a local policeman pulled up alongside and urged the actor to call a cab.

Dennis responded that he didn’t want to drive. The cop repeatedly said, “Get out of the car.” Quaid responded, “What do you want me to do.” He then grew some brain cells and asked if they could go back in the restaurant and the cop said yes.

The Quaids did end up taking a cab home and he came back for the car a short while ago. Interestingly, he could have been arrested from a legal standpoint.

The car was on and he was behind the wheel, but the police officer used his discretion and decided not to pursue it. Maybe he should thank the paparazzi.

Members of the celebrity gossip media mobbing the scene joked with Quaid, saying “You don’t want a DUI. You don’t want to end up like Mel Gibson!”

Hard to argue with that.

Good to see Dennis make the right choice in the end … even if it caused a scene and took more than a little cajoling. All’s well that ends well, right?

Besides, even if he had been arrested and tossed in the drunk tank overnight, Randi and Evi Quaid would still be the black sheep of the family.
