Lady Gaga gets into social media biz with website

2012-02-09T19:28:00.000-08:00

By Tim Kenneally | Reuters – 1 hour 35 minutes ago

LOS ANGELES, Feb 9 (TheWrap.com) - Lady Gaga: Singer. Songwriter. Pioneer in meat-based attire. General curiosity. And now, social-media mogul in training.

The "Born This Way" chanteuse has launched a new social-media site, LittleMonsters.com, for her fans to convene, share information and, no doubt, rave about the awesomeness that is Gaga. (The site derives its moniker from the nickname that the singer has bestowed upon her fans.)

The site is currently in beta stage, and available for membership on an invitation-only basis. However, some early reports, including one from CNN, liken the site to the mobile app Pinterest, which allows users to "pin" locations and items of interest.

Matt Michelsen, CEO and co-founder of Backplane -- which created LittleMonsters.com -- told Mashable that LittleMonsters.com will "nite people around interests, affinities and movements.

"Backplane is about bringing together communities and Gaga's community just so happens to be the community we're using to learn about proper functionality," added Michelsen. "We think we can really change the world."

The "Judas" belter -- born Stefani Germanotta -- is already an enormous presence in the social-media world, with 19 million Twitter followers and more than one billion YouTube views.

It remains to be seen whether she will enjoy that same popularity as a site owner, but she'll have plenty of opportunities to promote her new venture on the road: The singer announced Wednesday that she's embarking on a new world tour, dubbed the Born This Way Ball, beginning on April 27. The tour will kick off at the Olympic Stadium in Seoul, South Korea, and will spread across the globe into 2013.

Georgia Judge Ordering Arrest On Bow Wow

2012-02-06T08:03:00.000-08:00

TMZ reports that Georgia judge is ordering an arrest on Bow Wow. Read all the details below:

Bow Wow has avoided a civil lawsuit for long enough -- and now a judge in Georgia has ordered he be arrested and held in custody until produces documents and information to the other side.

Bow Wow was ordered by a Tennessee court back in 2009 to pay almost $100,000 to a tour bus company for allegedly not paying his bill. The company then took the case to Georgia to try and get the court where Bow Wow lives to enforce the judgment.

He was ordered to produce documents in his home state regarding the lawsuit, which he never did. As a result, the tour company filed a motion to have the rapper held in contempt.

Finally back in October, the judge granted the motion and ordered Bow Wow be arrested and held until he produces the necessary documents the tour bus company asked for.

Bow Wow has not been taken into custody so far, or responded to the lawsuit.
