WASHINGTON, D.C., U.S.A. – Pop diva Lady Gaga and her “Monster Ball” tour are coming to Mexico.

She is scheduled to perform at the 3 de Marzo Stadium in Guadalajara, Mexico, on May 3, 2011, two days before she is expected to take the stage at the Foro Sol in Mexico City.

“Viva la Gagalajara” a fan wrote on Lady Gaga’s fan site “Gaganews.com,” where the Mexican dates were announced.

No further dates have been announced, but media reports indicate she could perform in Brazil, Argentina and Chile.

Lady Gaga, a 24-year-old whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, is touring the United States, with upcoming shows in Philadelphia, Pa., on Sept. 14 and 15. The diva will take her tour to Europe this fall, when she’ll perform in Finland, Norway, Portugal and Spain, among other countries.

Lady Gaga’s two-hour “Monster Ball” extravaganza features the star changing clothes numerous times as she sings from her stable of hits, which includes “Alejandro,” “Just Dance,” “Poker Face,” “Telephone” and “Paparazzi.”

Lady Gaga breaks up fight during concert

Lady Gaga did more than sing and dance during her Sept. 7 show at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. – she stopped a fight in the crowd and discussed her charity work.

“Stop the music!” the diva commanded in the middle of the song “Monster,” according to The Washington Post. “Stop fighting. Do not fight at this show,” she said to the reckless fans, drawing applause from the crowd.

“I’m not gonna prance around in a bra and underwear and not stand for something,” Lady Gaga said in reference to her charity work and the causes she supports, including gay rights and a homeless gay teen charity.

“If I don’t stand for you, I stand for nothing. It’s just a big lie,” she said, according to USA Today.

In a true testament to Lady Gaga’s global domination, the diva became mired in controversy in the United States for something that happened in Japan.

Lady Gaga wearing a bikini made of raw meat on the cover of the Japanese edition of Vogue angered animal-rights advocates in the United States. “Lady Gaga's job is to do outlandish things,” Ingrid Newkirk, president of pro-animal association People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) said in a statement to U.S. entertainment show “Access Hollywood.” “And this certainly qualifies as outlandish because meat is something you want to avoid putting on or in your body. No matter how beautifully it is presented, flesh from a tortured animal is flesh from a tortured animal. Meat represents bloody violence and suffering, so if that's the look they were going for, they achieved it.”

Still, nobody can deny her performance is real.

“At least I sing live at this show,” she said at her recent concert in Washington, D.C., according to USA Today.
