Beyonce has confirmed that she will be doing a show in Kuala Lumpur for her “I Am…Sacha Fierce” tour, but she won’t be wearing anything inappropriate.

The show was actually planned for 2007, but she pulled out due to their strict guidelines on women’s attire. They didn’t want her “immoral” clothing choices to corrupt the country’s youth.

She has since agreed to tone down her performance for the show, which is set to go forth on October 25, 2009.

For postponing some of her tour dates for “The Fame Ball“, Lady Gaga is saying that she’s sick and she’s sorry. She postponed tonight’s show in Washington, DC, as well as tomorrow night’s show in Richmond, Virginia.

At least she’s offering some sort of explanation. Poor thing, I hope she feels better soon!

She says:

I am so terribly sad about the postponed performances. I wanted to tell you all, that although many assume it’s because of Idol, the truth is I have had a high fever and some crazy virus for days, and I am still sick. We are very pleased with how Idol went, but after weeks of not a day off my schedule, my team and doctor felt it imperative that I sleep for a few days.

My friends surprised me with a birthday cake and pinata post show at a friends art studio last night, my spirits are already higher, and I am now straight back to bed to sleep for the next couple days.

But, I could barely sleep in this morning thinking about all of you. And while some I’m sure are inventing curse words for me, the shows have now been moved to bigger venues. for more dancing, more sweating, and more of my props to fit on stage. your support means everything to me, and I am truly very sorry if I’ve upset anyone. And to my gay fans, please know that I’m always thinking about you, and how I can give you and every tour date the absolute best performance of my life. I will see you all for Dinah Shore this weekend. I love you more than words or music can express.

Love & Art, Sincerely,
Gaga
