Lady Gaga gets the HBO concert treatment

[February 16, 2011]  NEW YORK (AP) -- Lady Gaga is bringing her spectacle to HBO.

The network said Tuesday that it is taping two Lady Gaga shows in New York's Madison Square Garden later this month for a concert special. The document of Gaga's "Monster Ball" tour will be televised on May 7, two weeks before the singer is releasing a new disc.

The woman who choreographed most of Lady Gaga's videos, Lauriann Gibson, will direct the concert special.

HBO says that Lady Gaga, who was carried into the Grammys Sunday in a giant egg, will put on some brand new moves for the special. Gaga's latest album "The Fame Monster" won three Grammys.
