Performance artist Lady Gaga (pictured) is firing back at a music producer and former lover that has sued the singer for millions and "claims he launched her career," reports the Associated Press. An earlier report provides the details of how Rob Fusari claims a friend steered Gaga -- aka Stefani Germanotta -- to him and he molded her.

Lady Gaga Fires Back on Lawsuit - Explains Elements of Telephone with Beyonce Knowles.

Philippa Bourke notes he wants $35 million and reports the producer, Rob Fusari, filed the lawsuit in a Manhattan state court on Wednesday, and also revealed that he was also a former lover of Gaga's.


More music notes...Gaga says her spectacular video with Beyoncé for their single Telephone is meant to make viewers “vomit”. The pop sensation has also defended the 10-minute clip against accusations of product placement, saying she “chose” most of the items to be in it for a reason.

Gaga, currently on tour in Australia, also denied Telephone is a better video than Michael Jackson’s Thriller, insisting, “No it’s not!” She also said no-one will understand the clip, which features semi nudity and a lesbian kiss inside a women’s prison, until “six months after its release”.


She called Beyoncé Knowles “courageous” for agreeing to appear in the video. Lady Gaga, real name Stefanie Germanotta told an Aussie radio show: “The video is designed to be like the cell phone, like the internet and communication and how we’re inundated with information.

“It was designed to make you feel like you wanted to vomit by the end of it." Talking about appearing to collapse on stage in New Zealand recently, the controversial singer insisted she had been suffering from jetlag, not exhaustion.

She said: "I got in the night before and the jetlag just really caught up with me. It’s never happened to me before, I was just really tired."
