Gaga $1M GOP Offer Rejected By Singer

Documents filed with a lawsuit by the American Action Network against an entertainment vendor show the group would've liked Gaga to be part of the performers line-up at the Republican National Convention in August, but the pop star turned them down cold despite the $1 million offer.

Apart from Gaga, Dolly Parton and Pitbull, who Republicans wanted to perform at a Hispanic Leadership Network event, also did not bite the offer given to them.

The AAN is suing the vendor for the $350,000 it claimed it lost when a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert was canceled due to Hurricane Isaac.

In response to the reports of Gaga's refusal to perform at the convention, AAN said, "In planning for our fundraiser in Tampa, e-mails we’re exchanged between AAN fundraising staff and outside vendors exploring various performance options. AAN is an independent group and is no way affiliated with or connected to the RNC nor was the RNC ever privy to these internal discussions. We considered some acts and didn’t seriously consider others, but we were ultimately happy with a great Kid Rock concert. Our events were independent from the official convention and the RNC."

For its part, the RNC said, "To be clear, the RNC neither asked, offered, thought of or ever considered the idea of Lady Gaga performing at our convention. And clearly, we didn’t offer a million dollars."
