Gaga's lady pal Starlight to DJ at Amsterdam Bar on Wednesday

The singer's DJ pal will open Wednesday's Xcel Center gig and then host the after-party. But don't expect the main Lady to show up.

It's not quite as earthy and unpretentious as the Turf Club -- where Lady Gaga hung out last time she was in St. Paul performing at Xcel Energy Center -- but the Amsterdam Bar & Hall similarly doesn't seem like the kind of place you'd see the meat-wearing, glam-glomming international pop star and her entourage hanging out. At least one of Gaga's close pals, DJ Lady Starlight, will be hitting the Amsterdam after the Xcel Center gig on Wednesday night to spin records for all the Little Monsters taking over the city that night.

The dance set is not billed as "the official after-party," and there's no hint that Gaga herself will actually be there. In fact, a Lady Starlight rep confirmed that the singer has yet to show up at any of the other Starlight after-parties so far on the "Born This Way" tour. "Her schedule has just been so crazy," the source said, "but never say never." Regardless, this gives at least fans something more Gaga-riffic to do after the show than, say, hang out at Alary's. That might be the hot spot on the next tour, though.

Advance tickets to the Lady Starlight party are available online for $10.
