Lady Gaga has certainly made 2009 her year so far, and is keen to prove she has what it takes to go it alone and pull off a headline tour on the back of her number one single, Just Dance.

After providing the opening slots for New Kids on the Block and the Pussycat Dolls over the past few months, lady Gaga is keen to fill stadiums of her own; "I am so mental and sleepless and excited for this tour," The Los Angeles-based singer tells Billboard.com about the 23-date Fame Ball Tour, which kicks off March 12 at the San Diego House of Blues and wraps April 11 at the Palm Springs Convention Center.
Not one to be outdone either, the star is also preparing three versions of the show, tailored to the different sizes of venues she's playing. "I want to have a clear schedule of the dimensions for each venue so that we can properly execute all the technology and visuals," she says.
"I need to mentally prepare days in advance if things are going to be taken out; otherwise, I won't have a good show." But, she quickly adds, "Every show's gonna be an A show by the time I'm done screaming at everyone -- 'Hang it! Hang everything! Find a place to hang it!' That's gonna be my motto."
Well Miss Gaga, I will certainly be in the queue for a ticket no matter what!
