Lady Gaga receives award at 'Right to Rock' charity auction
Quote:
Lady Gaga outdid herself last night. More specifically, she outbid herself. The pop icon, who ranks #1 on Forbes Celebrity 100 and #11 on the Forbes Power Women list, placed the top bid of $13,000 at a charity auction last night, winning a dinner with Steve Van Zandt (of the E-Street Band) and Maureen Van Zandt, along with a bottle of wine signed by James Gandolfini. The dinner is to be at a restaurant of Lady Gaga’s choosing, and she announced her plans to go to Parma, a restaurant where she waited tables at age 19, serving Van Zandt himself.
The auction was one of many during the “Right To Rock” fundraiser put on by Little Kids Rock, a non-profit dedicated to funding music education in underprivileged schools. Gaga was on hand to receive the “Big Man of the Year” award, given to a “musical luminary who is passionate about helping Little Kids Rock to provide music education to school children who may not otherwise have access to music, and who also inspires and motivates kids.” The award is named after Clarence “The Big Man” Clemons, saxophone player in Bruce Springsteen’s E-Street Band, who passed away in June of this year. Clemons played sax on Lady Gaga’s hit single, “The Edge Of Glory” in January, 2011; it was the final recording he made.
