China Bans Lady Gaga
And it will probably be good for sales. (Controversy is part of Gaga’s brand.) China’s Communist Party has added Gaga to its list of foreigners banned from the country after she posted her meeting with the Dalai Lama to her Facebook account. The party’s propaganda department has reportedly banned her from entering mainland China. Websites and other organizations have been told to stop distributing her songs after she met the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader and recorded a 19-minute video of it. The two talked about meditation and mental health, but the recording garnered an angry reaction. Officials have called the Dalai Lama a “wolf in monk’s robes,†despite the fact that he claims he’s seeking autonomy for Tibetans. In other Gaga news, it looks almost certain that she will star in “A Star is Born” remake.
