Rivals ... Lady Gaga and Madonna
LADY Gaga has snubbed the chance to bury the hatchet with pop nemesis Madonna.
The Queen of Pop invited her young rival to join her onstage at her Yankee Stadium gig in their native New York last month.However, Gaga declined the offer as she was too busy on her Born This Way Ball tour to spare the time.
Her manager Vincent Herbert said: “Madonna called to ask Gaga to perform with her at Yankee Stadium.
“Her manager reached out to us and said Madonna would like Gaga to perform with her.”
Herbert insists her decision to turn Madonna down had nothing to do with their long-running feud.
He added: “She really wished she could do it. She said, ‘If we do it, let's donate the money to charity.’ But Gaga's committed to her own tour.”
Relations between the two chart titans has been strained since Gaga released her single Born This Way last year, with Madonna repeatedly comparing it to her 1989 hit Express Yourself.
Onstage in July, Madonna declared herself a huge fan of Born This Way because “she helped to write” the song.
Last month she told fans at her concert in Atlantic City: “I love her - imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.”
Meanwhile, it’s been revealed that Gaga is planning a jazz album with legendary crooner Tony Bennett.
Duet ... Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett are recording a jazz album together
The pair previously teamed up on a version of The Lady Is A Tramp for his Duets II collection, and now they want to hit the studio together again to record a whole album.
Tony said: "Of all things, she called me from New Zealand and said, 'I want to do a jazz album with you,' and I said, 'You got it!'
"We're gonna do a jazz album with Marion Evans, a big swing band, and I'm looking forward to it because a lot of people don't know it, but she's a phenomenal jazz singer."
