Lady Gaga Projected to Make $100 Million in 2011

Lady Gaga, known for her flamboyant outfits and personality on top of her infectious pop hits, is on track to make $100 million this year, according to Forbes.

The 'Poker Face' singer is set to make almost $40 million more than she did in 2010, making her the seventh-highest paid musician in the world, and just $1 million behind hip-hop powerhouse Jay-Z.

How did she earn so much money? Touring, touring, touring. Lady Gaga's shows command a much higher average ticket price ($102) than other current acts, and she put on a whopping 138-stop tour last year.

Experts estimate Gaga's album sales will also significantly boost her earnings. She'll release her next album, the highly-anticipated 'Born This Way,' in May and she could earn up to $15 million from record sales alone. Her last album, 'The Fame' sold over 12 million copie

Lady Gaga Has A Secret to Tell Little Monsters On New Year's Eve

Lady Gaga has a big secret to tell her Little Monsters, but they're going to have to wait. The pop star promised to tell her fans a Born This Way announcement as soon as the clock strikes 12 on New Year's Eve. (We're guessing Eastern Time, in case you're wondering.)

She hinted at the news on Twitter on Christmas (via PopEater): "Merry Christmas little monsters! I love you with all my heart. My gift to you is a BORN THIS WAY announcement Midnight on NEW YEARS EVE. -MM," Gaga tweeted.

Originally, we thought she was going to reveal the name of he new album to ring in 2011, but that already happened at the VMAs earlier this year. So, it's gotta be something bigger and better now.

Will it be a new single? An album cover? Tour date announcements? We don't know...but, we do know that a LOT of Little Monsters will be glued to their Twitter pages on Friday!
