Gaga in $1 million GOP snub

Lady Gaga turned down a million dollars to perform at last summer’s Republican National Convention, federal court documents show.

The offer was revealed in e-mails filed in a battle between a Republican fund-raising organization and an entertainment vendor in US District Court in DC.

The fund raiser, American Action Network, even tried to lure the pop star by offering to donate $150,000 to a domestic-violence shelter if she sang for the conservative crowd in Tampa, Fla.

“GaGa would be over a million not to mention her love of Obama,” read one e-mail sent by the head of Cater America, an entertainment vendor based in Wyoming.

The AAN is suing the vendor to recover $350,000 that it claims to have lost when a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert arranged by Cater America was canceled because of Hurricane Isaac, the Washington Examiner reported.

Dolly Parton and the rapper Pitbull also turned down offers to perform at the convention, the documents reveal.
