September 18, 200915 yr Kanye West & Lady GaGa Tour Cast In Doubt As 'Fame Kills" Dates Dry Up A lot of things have happened since late last week when Lady GaGa revealed the first dates for a co-headlining tour with Kanye West. However, the promised official announcement about the upcoming 2009-2010 venture has yet to materialize. The tour began to sour soon after it was announced, starting with West's unfortunate commandeering of the September 13 MTV Video Music Awards. In a stunt that has since sustained the media's vitriol, West swiped the mic from country starlet Taylor Swift mid-acceptance speech to say a few misguided words of his own. Whether West's all-too-public folly is to blame for more than Swift's televised heartache remains to be seen. However, since those antics incensed the nation, a mystery has grown around the planned West-GaGa production, according to recent reports from the Los Angeles Times. In a September 11 update on her official Web site, Lady GaGa confirmed four tour dates with West on the Fame Kills Tour. The artist's site promised that complete dates for the 2009-2010 outing would appear on September 14 or 15 (or the jumbled "Monday, September 15," to quote exactly), and at the same time, Ticketmaster unveiled the first event pages for the co-headlining event. On the Monday morning following the VMAs, a supposedly "confirmed" itinerary did circulate through the press, appearing first on trade publication Pollstar before receiving coverage from Rolling Stone, among others. Media outlets even announced details of the pair's concert plans to local markets on the tour's route.Initial presales were set for mid-week, with the first Fame Kills onsales slated for September 18 and 19. But in recent days, Ticketmaster has pulled its event pages for the pair's few listed performances. Even GaGa's tour update on September 11 has disappeared from her site. All the while, Lady GaGa and West have remained silent on the issue. Even now, as the award show furor continues, the artists' determined silence and the slow evaporation of event details has cast doubt on the fate of the tour. 15 for $15 with Napster!When questioned about the tour's status, Lady GaGa's spokesperson reportedly told the Times, "Live Nation has yet to officially announce the tour and the correct routing." Official spokespeople for Live Nation and Ticketmaster did not immediately return TicketNews' requests for comment. However, a customer service representative for Ticketmaster noted that the company usually alerts its employees about major upcoming tours in order to prepare for consumer calls. According to the representative, no new tour dates or sales have been announced internally for West or Lady GaGa. It is unclear whether the supposed touring partners are simply waiting until the current media firestorm blows over, or if a more indefinite hiatus lies ahead for the tour. On the evening of September 14, West told late night talk titan Jay Leno that he planned to take time off to re-evaluate his life following the incident with Swift. At the time, critics noted that his "time off" would be limited if he had to be on the road for a November 10 tour launch, but with the current tour itinerary in doubt, it seems his statement might have had some grounds.

September 26, 200915 yr Seriously, I knew so many people who were PUMPED for this and are not going because of Kanye. And I'm not going because I don't want to have to sit half way through the show to wait for Lady Gaga, not a fan of Kanye's ever. Besides Stronger and Golddigger.

September 26, 200915 yr What happened to all the Rock Stars? The Fame Killed them! http://www3.pictures.zimbio.com/img/5519/Alicia/7676l.jpg MTV.com - In the aftermath of his outburst at the MTV Music Video Awards, Kanye West went on "The Jay Leno" show and said he was planning to keep a low profile in the coming months, both to deal with personal matters and to let the media firestorm he created subside. Well, West's self-imposed exile didn't last too long. On Wednesday (September 23rd), he took to his blog, posting a provocative teaser trailer for his upcoming Fame Kills Tour with Lady GaGa, which he announced earlier this summer during an appearance on "The View" but wasn't confirmed until last week. And, yes, the new video is sure to have people talking. The clip - which West posted under the headline 'What happened to all the Rock Stars? The Fame Killed them!' - is part grainy, slo-mo art film, part soft-core strip tease, featuring a topless GaGa (her rep confirmed to MTV News) writhing in the arms of a black man, while a money, omnious soundtrack plays in the background. After 30 seconds of this, the name of the tour appears onscreen, followed by a voice (that sounds very much like West's) saying, "Fame Kills" and then "West + GaGa" flashes onscreen. Last month, GaGa told the BBC that the Fame Kills Tour was going to be "groundbreaking" and that she and West had been working together to create the look and feel for the jaunt. The tour is scheduled to kick of on November 24th in Phoenix and wraps up on January 24th in Dallas.

September 28, 200915 yr She was on Kidd Kraddick in the morning and she was AMAZING. I f***ing love her again. So getting VIP seats to this now. Ahh. :snif: You better take some pics ;o GaGa's always been amazing. She's both the Madonna and Marilyn Monroe of our era. ♥
September 28, 200915 yr Hmmm. I don't think she can be labeled as either. She definitely is just Lady Gaga IMO.
September 30, 200915 yr Found the interview Tyler's raving about - http://www.kiddlive.com/Article.asp?id=1518888&spid= She was AMAZING. :wub: She talks a bit about the forthcoming album and Fame Kills tour as well as her views on the VMAs, the Taylor Swift/Kanye West incident etc.
