Even though isn’t exactly known for her live vocal talents, someone wants to make sure those Down Under know what they’re paying for.

Australia’s Minister for Fair Trading for New South Wales is tossing around the idea of including a disclaimer of sorts in concert-related materials. “It is Britney’s ‘prerogative’ to lip-sync, and it is my job to make sure consumers know what they are paying for up front,” Virginia Judge said in a statement.

Judge doesn’t necessarily believe Britney’s upcoming performance will be a disappointment, she just wants fans entering with their eyes wide open. “Personally I would rather see a live set from a local artist,” the government employee said, “but I am sure Britney’s fans will be treated to a spectacular show.”

Bon Jovi

has been blasted for “ludicrous” ticket prices for their London tour.

The “We Weren’t Born to Follow” rockers are set to play a string of dates at the city’s O2 Arena starting June 7, but fans are upset they will have to pay up to a staggering $2100 to see their idols.

General admission to the shows costs $73 for the cheapest seats, rising to $327, while the price of the highest-banded premium tickets has led angry fans to call for a boycott of the concerts.

One wrote on the group’s website: “I am going to stand up for what I believe in and use my earnings to feed my kids rather than lining some fat cat’s pockets.” Another added: “After writing an album about the world’s problems with the recession the prices are just a mockery.”

Spears is Game for 3 in New Music Video

A Pussycat Dolls-esque dance line? Plunging necklines and thongs? A song about threesomes? What more could anyone want from ?

South Park Covers Lady Gaga

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Videos, Covers, Pop


There’s just something about fish that gets singing.

Earlier this year, the Comedy Central program turned Kanye West’s “Heartless” into a song about gay fish. Now a Lady Gaga track is getting its turn.

Last night, the hit “Poker Face” was incorporated into an episode titled “Whale Whores.” Since the show wasn’t actually an attack on Lady Gaga (the program had its sights set on Animal Planet’s Whale Wars), I think she should consider this an honor.
