           Lady Gaga Sued Over Teeth

        Music producer and singer Teddy Riley a member of 1990s hip-hop group Blackstreet - has filed a lawsuit against the 27-year-old pop star, claiming he hasn't received any of the payments he is owed after the song was included on her smash hit The Fame Monster EP.
     Teddy, says he was promised 25% of the writing fees for the song but has not been paid at all, and he is now seeking a sum of  $500 000 as well as punitive damages.
     Gaga's Fame Monster EP, was released after her debut album is credited with establishing her as one of the most popular music artists today and it also features hit songs such as Telephone, Bad Romance and Alejandro. In January, Teddy hit the headlines after he sued his own daughter, aspiring songwriter Taja Riley, after she allegedly claimed she co-wrote Teeth.
     Taja landed a music publishing deal as a result of her supposed involvement, however, Teddy insists his daughter's claims about her "participation in the creation of the composition, authorship, and ownership [of Teeth are all false and untrue".
