No Asia for Gaga’s ‘Asia’

By Bill Zwecker

Something tells me that Lady Gaga will get over this, but the superstar is heading off to the continuation of her world tour in Asia — without Asia. That’s the name of the singer’s beloved French bulldog.

“They won’t let Asia into Asia,” Gaga tweeted Sunday, noting the strict quarantine regulations for dogs in several of the Asian countries where she will perform on her “ArtRave: The Artpop Ball” tour, including Japan.

Lady Gaga kicks off the next leg of her tour in Tokyo on Wednesday, Aug. 13.
