Those Sony email leaks are the gift that keeps on giving! The latest embarrassing exchanges to emerge? A note shading Lady Gaga and Sony Pictures Entertainment Co-Chairman Amy Pascal not knowing who Rita Ora is. Let’s start with Mother Monster. It seems the studio was looking for artists to contribute to The Amazing Spider-Man 2 soundtrack.

Ellie Goulding and Lorde were on the short list, but they immediately vetoed the ARTPOP diva. Why? “I think gaga might be too lame after die antwoord made fun of he in the video.” She can take some consolation in the fact that Sony actually knows who she is. Ms Pascal was sent a gushing email about Rita (“We all sat with her today and she’s an incredible spark”) and simply forwarded it with the question: “Do u know her?”
