LADY GAGA FUMING OVER IDOL EDITING

Lady Gaga has lashed out at TV producers after they slashed a minute and a half of a performance she pre-recorded for American Idol.

The pop sensation has accused Fox network bosses of "amateurly" editing a six-and-a-half minute performance of latest single Alejandro, which she taped ahead of the talent show's broadcast on Wednesday (05May10).

The segment was reduced to a five-minute rendition - and Lady Gaga is fuming.

In a series of posts on her Twitter.com page, Gaga writes, "FOX POORLY + AMATEURLY (sic) edited+cut my performance/musical arrangement on idol. Watch real version... Fox chopped up my performance in 4 places."
