Producer files $30M suit against Gaga in NY

NEW YORK Rob Fusari claims he helped launch her super-successful career, co-writing some of her songs, helping her get a record deal and even coming up with her famous stage name.

/* Lady Gaga*/ won two Grammys in January: best dance recording, for "Poker Face," and best electronic/dance album, for "The Fame."

Her real name is Stefani Germanotta. Her spokesman, Dave Tomberlin, declined to comment Friday on the suit.
