LADY GAGA DENIED PERMIT FOR INDONESIAN CONCERT

Looks like the 52,000 fans who bought tickets to see Gaga at Jakarta's Gelora Bung Karno stadium will be disappointed. Authorities have bowed to the extremist group that vowed to use physical force to keep the Poker Face singer from getting off the plane and have denied the permit for the concert to go forward due to concerns that they will not be able to keep the singer safe. This would have been Gaga's largest concert on the Asian leg of her Born This Way Ball Tour. Indonesia is largely Muslim, but the group making the most noise is a small extremist group that has become vocal in the last few yeas. They are afraid that Gaga's costumes and dancing will corrupt the youth of their country and undermine their moral fiber. Okay. Many religious leader and lawmakers have also voiced concern. What a shame. No statement has surfaced as of yet from Gaga herself.
