International superstar, NYU drop-out, and former small club singer/songwriter (video!), Lady Gaga, has been canceling shows on her current Monster Ball tour due to exhaustion and dehydration.
The folks in Atlantic City are not happy about her skipping out on her show at the Borgata this past weekend, however, since she was healthy enough to appear (and perform) on Oprah right after her cancellation announcement. They also didn't receive a Twitter apology like her fans (or as she calls them: monsters) did in Indiana. One angry (former?) fan ranted: "This is what happens when spoiled rich girls become entertainers. They don't care about anything but themselves." That was harsh, even for a monster.
This Wednesday, Gaga is scheduled to kick-off her 4-night run at Radio City Music Hall, where one night she's donating every penny made in sales and merch to victims of the Haiti earthquake. Some hopeful/deluded monsters predict on her official website that the recent added cancellations are so she can rest up for these big hometown shows.
