THE CHICK WITH A DICK IS NOW GOING ON TOUR WITH KID CUDI--NO KANYE!

Lady Gaga has bounced back from the cancellation of her highly-anticipated tour with Kanye West - she will hit the road with rapper Kid Cudi instead. Gaga's plans to merge pop with hip-hop fell through following alleged "creative differences" with West and she subsequently announced plans to tour solo. But the Poker Face hitmaker is determined to provide a rap element for her fans and has hired Kid Cudi to accompany her on the North American trek.

She says in a statement, "Due to diligent work and preparation, The Monster Ball will begin on November 27 in Montreal. The Monster Ball is a multimedia artistic experience in the style of the first-ever 'pop electro opera.'" The tour will take in cities including Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Miami before concluding in New York on 21 January (10).
