Toy maker sues Lady Gaga
NEW YORK (AP) — A toy company is suing Lady Gaga
for more than $10 million, claiming the pop star sabotaged a deal to
make a doll in her likeness that would play snippets of her music.
In a suit filed in New York City on Tuesday, MGA Entertainment,
the maker of the popular Bratz doll line, said it paid a $1 million
advance to the company that handles Gaga's merchandizing and spent a
mint racing to meet deadlines to ship the dolls this summer.
The dolls were to feature some of the singer's outlandish costumes, as well as a "voice chip" with samples of her songs.
But the toy maker said the plan was derailed in the spring when the merchandizer, Bravado International,
abruptly tried to back out of the part of the deal allowing the dolls
to use the singer's music. MGA said Bravado then tried to delay sales of
the doll until next year, when her new album is expected to be
released.
The toy company
claimed the singer's representatives ultimately stopped cooperating with
the project while she went on a world tour. MGA said her refusal to
sign off on the final doll designs is jeopardizing $28 million in expected revenue from the fall shopping season and holding up orders from 10 countries.
A
representative for Lady Gaga called the lawsuit "ill-conceived" and
said there was "no legitimate reason" to drag the singer into a dispute
primarily between MGA and Bravado, a subsidiary of Universal Music Group.
Bravado issued a statement through a spokesman calling the lawsuit "meritless."
In
the lawsuit, MGA's lawyers claimed that Lady Gaga's representatives
were initially thrilled with the doll prototypes, although they had
asked for a few tweaks. In one email cited in the lawsuit, Bobby
Campbell, the vice president of Gaga's management company, the Atom
Factory, asked if the doll could be "more supermodel-like" with "more of
a cat-eye and sexier, poutier lips." He also discussed a doll with a
removable head that would pop off to reveal a bloody stump.
"We would like to see options with and without a bloody stump for comparison," he wrote.

Other doll related blogs on the internet.
There are many doll related blogs on the internet and the number grows every day. Lots of people start a blog and abandon it as they don't realize the commitment involved to keep it going.
At one time I had my blog listed on a blog list that was a type of contest. The competition distracted me from my goals here - to provide interesting information, great images and honest reviews.
I'm not one for this competing "vote for me" type of activity. I think the best way to attract readers is by providing interesting content on a regular basis and making your blog posts easy to find.
But, if you like, you can check my blog and any others you like on this list. I voted for each one. A friend of a friend designed list.ly the 'engine' that supports this type of list.
