yxi 4,999 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Woman who discovered Lady Gaga gets $7.3 million US District court Judge Jose Linares ruled Wednesday against producer Rob Fusari’s argument to reduce the amount the jury awarded last year to Wendy Starland A Lady Gaga’s first producer and former boyfriend owes the Hollywood songwriter who discovered her $7.3 million (Dh27 million) after he promised to split profits with her, a federal judge has ruled, upholding a jury’s verdict. Starland testified during the trial that Fusari, based in Parsippany, had asked her to find an “edgy, bold, confident, charismatic†performer and “someone that you can’t take your eyes off ofâ€. She brought back Lady Gaga after spotting her during a New York City performance in 2006, when she was simply Stefani Germanotta. Lady Gaga said in a deposition in 2011 that she believed Fusari and Starland, a singer and songwriter who wrote songs with her, had a verbal agreement to split their share from her career. “My understanding was that Wendy and him had initially agreed upon 50/50 perhaps before Wendy ever found me, and after I was signed to Rob and made music, Rob began to change his mind,†said Lady Gaga, whose hits have included Poker Face and Bad Romance. Fusari, a Grammy Award-winning producer whose credits include work for Beyoncé, Whitney Houston and Will Smith, previously sued Lady Gaga for $35 million in court in New York, but that lawsuit was dropped.

ChicaSkas 22,307 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Old news? edit: I see, he lost the appeal to reduce it. Please don't bash any of these people, out of respect for Gaga and the parties involved. It all seems a great shame. Do YOU own the 4' by 6' Perfect Illusion promo Poster? Will pay you for it.
