Lady Gaga "Monster Ball" Tour Dates Announced

Lady Gaga has announced the premiere of "The Monster Ball" — a multimedia artistic experience in the style of a pop electro opera.

Does that sound ridiculous, or ridiculously awesome? Perez Hilton seemed to think the latter when he announced to his million twitter followers earlier today that she would be touring despite the Kanye upset earlier this month.

Kid Cudi will open the tour. He's a protege of West's who recently released his Man On Yhe Moon: The End Of Day debut album. The West-Gaga Fame Kills tour was allegedly cancelled due to West's crazy behavior during the Taylor Swift fiasco. We're pretty sure Gaga might be crazy, too, but she isn't crazy enough to risk a tour with Kanye West right now.

We can only hope The Monster Ball will feature Gaga up to some of her telltale antics. As if having flaming tits wasn't enough, last weekend Gaga had the privilege of having President Barack Obama open for her at the Human Rights Campaign's 13th Annual National Dinner on Oct. 10.

"It's a privilege to open tonight for Lady Gaga. I've made it," said Nobel Peace Prize winner Obama. Lady Gaga was invited to the event in support of gay rights: a fact she recently made known at the MTV Video Music Awards' where she concluded her acceptance speech saying, "It's for God and the gays!" She'd previously yelled the same thing at the MuchMusic Video Awards in June.

Lady Gaga has also released the track list for The Fame Monster the re-release of her debut album, due Nov. 23. The Fame Monster will feature a second disc with eight new songs, including "Bad Romance," which Gaga premiered at the Alexander McQueen show during Paris Fashion Week.
