Lady Gaga has been refused a permit to perform in a giant vending machine.
The 'Do What You Want' hitmaker was hoping to entertain fans at the annual South by Southwest festival (SXSW) held in Austin, Texas between March 7 - 16 on the Doritos Stage, which has been designed to look like a huge snack machine, but due to concerns over health and safety she's had to reconsider.
According to Stereogum.com, Don Pitts of Austin's Music And Entertainment division said: "Our conclusion was based primarily on public safety concerns ... We look at the size and capacity of the location covered by the permit being sought and how it fits with the anticipated attendance, based on event capacity and promotion. At the end of the day, it's a parking lot."
Gaga - real name Stefani Germanotta - is still set to play at the nine-day festival but has been urged to find a location with "the necessary permanent infrastructure" to support her performance.
This isn't the first time Gaga's creative plans have gone wrong in recent weeks.
Earlier this month the 27-year-old singer was working on the video for 'G.U.Y. (Girl Under You)' and was bitten by a slow loris while filming a clip in California when the cute creature - a small primate from Asia, which is an endangered species - sunk its teeth into her.
A source previously said: "The slow loris is the cutest creature on the planet, and Lady Gaga wanted to use it in one scene, but it nipped her. They put it back in its box and took it away in disgrace."

Emmy Rossum finds it "very easy" to strip on screen.
The 'Shameless' actress insists she doesn't worry about bearing all on camera because she immerses herself so deeply in her characters, she doesn't feel like herself.
She said: "Being naked in character is very easy because it's just playing pretend. You're someone else. You don't feel like yourself."
The 27-year-old actress doesn't even worry about doing extra workouts to look better on camera if she has a nude scene coming up.
Asked if she prepares for the scenes, she told E! News: "Not at all. You got to be in character. You can't think about cellulite."
Emmy enjoys playing Fiona Gallagher in 'Shameless' but admits she struggles to shake off the difficult storylines at the end of the day.
She said: "It's getting real dark. Not much funny happening this year...I can't leave it at work. I mean, I try to kind of shrug it off and shake it off in the car ride home, but it's never that easy."
The brunette beauty is planning on getting glammed up on Oscars night on Sunday (02.03.14), but not until late in the evening.
She said: "I'll eat, watch it in my pyjamas and then go to Vanity Fair [party]. It's like the best of everything."

Hulk Hogan's return to WWE is perfect timing, according Diamond Dallas Page.
Retired wrestler Dallas - who is the creator of exercise phenomenon DDP Yoga - was thrilled to see the iconic star back on TV show 'RAW' this week and insists with the 30th anniversary of 'WrestleMania' in April and the launch of the WWE Network streaming service everything is just right for The Hulkster's comeback after six years away.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz, Dallas said: "I think it's great that Hogan is back not only because the WWE Network is such an awesome thing but it also couldn't be better timing with 'WrestleMania XXX' round the corner."
Dallas - also known as DDP - is also very excited that his friend Jake 'The Snake' Roberts is going to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year
DDP has helped get alcoholic Jake - who was recently diagnosed with skin cancer - healthy and sober since inviting him to live at his home in October 2012 and he is hoping he gets to induct his former mentor at the ceremony at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans on April 5
Dallas - who is bringing his one-man comedy show to the UK from this weekend as well as hosting two DDP Yoga workshops - said: "We're working hard to get Jake ready for the Hall of Fame, we want him to be in the best shape for it.
"I'd like it to be me who inducts Jake, I'd love to do it, that would be an honour but that remains to be seen, we're waiting to hear from the WWE because they control that. But really I don't care who inducts Jake. When Jake told me it was happening ... it was so emotional. I needed to decompress."
Hogan has announced he is the host of 'WrestleMania XXX' which takes place on April 6 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.
Tickets for 'BANG!: An Audience With Diamond Dallas Page' are on sale now at Eroscomedy.com with shows in London, Cardiff, Birmingham, Manchester, Newcastle, Belfast and Cork.

Britain's Prince William's former polo teacher has died.
Carlos Gracida - who taught both the Duke of Cambridge and his brother Prince Harry how to play the sport - passed away on Tuesday night (25.02.14) following an accident in Florida.
The incident took place at the Everglades Polo Club in Wellington in Palm Beach County, when another player accidentally swung his mallet at Carlos' horse causing the animal to kick out in shock and fall on his owner, who had fallen to the ground.
The award-winning polo player suffered bleeding and swelling on the brain and never regained consciousness.
Carlos was often described as Queen Elizabeth's favourite player and was a regular instructor for celebrities and royalty having taught Prince Charles and his sons, William and Harry, as well as Greece's King Constantine II and 'Rocky' actor Sylvester Stallone.
Speaking about teaching the princes, he said previously: "My experience with the Royal Family was really something very special because they are true princes."
His sons Carlos Jr and Mariano and his brother Memo, all professional polo players themselves, were at his hospital bedside when he passed away.

Lily Allen doesn't get "mashed" at awards ceremonies since becoming a mother.
The 'Air Balloon' singer was a winner at the NME Awards in London on Wednesday night (26.02.14), taking home the Best Solo Artist prize but she insisted she wouldn't be celebrating by hitting the booze because she is more responsible now she's a parent to daughters Ethel, two, and 15-month-old Marnie.
Speaking on the red carpet at the event at the O2 Brixton Academy, she told BANG Showbiz: "It's great to be here, it's a cool ceremony. I think all awards ceremonies have different things going for them and this is the one to get mashed at, which I won't be doing by the way as a mother of two. I will enjoy watching other people doing it ... Maybe I'll just have a little gin."
Lily - who is married to Sam Cooper, who joined her at the ceremony - was nominated for three prizes, Best Solo Artist and Best Video and Best Track for 'Hard Out Here'.
The 28-year-old singer was shocked to be victorious in the Best Solo Artist category, beating Lorde, Jake Bugg, Sir Paul McCartney, Kanye West and David Bowie to the honour, because she hasn't even released her new album 'Sheezus' yet.
Speaking before her win, she said: "To win Best Solo Artist is stupid because I haven't released an album. But it's lovely to be here."

Noel Gallagher has written more than 50 songs for a "seismic" new album.
The 'Everybody's on the Run' singer is "whittling down" the tracks for his second solo LP and long-time collaborator, Mark Coyle, claims the new material reminds him "in some respects of the spirit" of Oasis's 1994 debut record, 'Definitely Maybe'.
He told NME magazine: "That boy is from a different planet, and even the fans won't believe how utterly amazing [the album] is. It's pouring out of him [right now]."
Noel, 46, released his solo debut 'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds' in 2011, which went to number one, after Oasis split in 2009, following a huge backstage argument in Paris, France with brother and band mate, Liam, 41, who went on to form his band, Beady Eye.
Mark, a sound engineer who co-produced Oasis's first album, reportedly heard a host of Noel's demos last month, following his recording sessions in New York, and described the new songs as "f***ing great".
He said:"The new record ... is so explosive that, on the day it comes out, Virgin Trains won't be able to cope with all the people trying to flee the chaos."
Meanwhile, Oasis sent the internet into meltdown yesterday (26.02.14) after they announced they will re-release their debut album, with added unheard tracks, to mark the record's 20th anniversary.
Noel said in a statement: "If anyone produced [those sessions], it was [Mark]. He put out the mics and was twiddling the knobs."
The original line-up of Oasis that recorded the album was made up of singer Liam, guitarist and songwriter Noel, rhythm guitarist Bonehead, bassist Paul 'Guigsy' McGuigan and drummer Tony McCarroll.
The re-mastered 'Definitely Maybe' is out on May 19.

Bryan Adams turned down an offer to become a coach on 'The Voice' UK.
The '(Everything I Do) I Do It for You' singer finds it "cringey" to watch the show and is relieved that he snubbed a seat on the panel ahead of its UK launch two years ago because he would rather concentrate on his music career.
Bryan told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I got asked to be a coach on 'The Voice' when it started but I didn't want to do it.
"I'd rather be writing my own music than sitting on a chair, judging people."
The show, which is currently in its third series, sees will.i.am and Sir Tom Jones return as coaches alongside Kylie Minogue and Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson. However, Bryan admits he hasn't enjoyed watching the show.
He explained: "I watched it the other day. I saw Tom Jones hesitating all the time and I thought, 'That would have been me', and I would be doing that the whole time. It would be really cringey."
Meanwhile, 'The Voice' UK has seen a boost in ratings this year since Kylie's debut on the talent show.
In the US, the show is in its sixth season, with Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Usher and Shakira returning as coaches.

Rebecca Ferguson collapsed on 'Loose Women' today (27.02.14).
The 27-year-old singer appeared on the ITV chat show this afternoon to promote her new single 'All That I've Got', which she performed for the live audience, but as the track came to an end she appeared to faint on stage.
However, she's since taken to Twitter to assure her fans that she's okay, writing: "I am feeling much better will rest today so sorry to worry everybody I fought through that song but at the end had nothing left love yas xxx (sic)"
The former 'X Factor' contestant - who came in second place on the ITV talent show - fell to the floor as the end credits ran and having tweeted that she was feeling ill yesterday (26.02.14) it would seem that she's not yet recovered from the mystery sickness.
Posting on the social networking site, she said: "Still laid up in bed dunno what this bug is but it's getting shaken off big day tomorrow xxx (sic)"
Rebecca joined hosts Kaye Adams, Myleene Klass, Jane Moore and Sally Lindsay for a chat before taking to the stage, despite feeling unwell.

'Coronation Street's' Tina McIntyre "hates being the other woman".
Actress Michelle Keegan, whose character is embroiled in a love triangle with Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne) and his wife Carla (Alison King), says her barmaid alter-ego is experiencing inner-turmoil over her actions of late.
She said: "She hates being the other woman - it's something Tina never thought she'd be. She doesn't want to betray Carla but her feelings for Peter override everything. Tina can't understand how he can be with her and then flit off to his wife. But he'd never leave Carla for her."
Tina is overcome with guilt as she continues her affair with her pal's husband, but Michelle admits the character is "blinded" by her lothario lover, who tells her he loves her in coming weeks.
The actress explained: "Peter knows it's what Tina wants to hear, and he's right. She's so blinded by love for Peter that she can't see him for what he is. he does care for her in a way but he loves his wife Carla, not Tina."
Carla will soon discover she's pregnant with Peter's baby and the news is sure to come as a blow to young Tina.
Michelle, 25, added to Inside Soap magazine: "Tina will be utterly devastated. She really wants a child and to find out that Peter wants another one, just not with her, will be a slap in the face."

Anna Kendrick doesn't want singing roles in films so she can drink beer whenever she wants.
The 28-year-old actress is soon to hit the big screen in a string of movies including 'The Last Five Years' which is based on Jason Robert Brown's musical of same name, an adaptation of 'Into the Woods' based on the Tony Award-winning Broadway performance, and the sequel to 2012's 'Pitch Perfect'.
These films require her to belt out tracks and Kendrick insists she needs to be cast in productions which don't force her to think about her voice as much.
Talking to the wrap.com, she said: "I never want to sing again, honestly. It's hard as f**k.
"The 'Pitch Perfect' [sequel] is going to be fine, ten girls have to be able to sing the songs so it's going to be fine, but doing 'The Last Five Years' and then 'Into the Woods' straight away, I was like, I don't want to have to think about my voice so much.
"I want to be able to drink beer whenever I want."
The brunette beauty stars alongside Jeremy Jordan in Richard LaGravenese's forthcoming comedy and is also set to feature with a number of A-Listers including James Corden and Meryl Streep in 2014's musical fantasy 'Into the Woods' where she plays Cinderella.
Both these films are in post-production, while 'Pitch Perfect 2' will be released in 2015 and shows Kendrick and Rebel Wilson both reprise their roles.

Daniel Radcliffe is filming scenes for 'Frankenstein' in London.
The 'Harry Potter' star has swapped his short brown hair for dishevelled bob style extensions for his role as Frankenstein's assistant Igor in the latest adaptation of Mary Shelley's novel.
Radcliffe will star alongside James McAvoy (Victor Frankenstein) and former 'Downton Abbey' star Jessica Brown Findlay and previously joked about the difficulty of maintaining his fake hair.
The 24-year-old actor explained: "I don't mind how it looks but I mind dealing with it. I don't know why any man would have it voluntarily."
Radcliffe attended the WhatsOnStage Awards last week, where he and his co-star McAvoy were both nominated for Best Actor awards and he admitted that when he's finished working on the fantasy-drama he won't be growing his own hair.
He said: "The amount of work it takes, having to dry it - doing anything to it is a f**king nightmare. I do have a whole new sympathy for women. I wouldn't be growing my hair this long in my own time."
'Frankenstein' - which is being directed by Lucky Number Slevin's Paul McGuigan - is expected to be released in January 2015.

Kanye West is writing a movie role for Kim Kardashian.
The 'Bound 2' hitmaker - who has eight-month-old daughter North with the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star - is teaming up with author Bret Easton Ellis for a film based on his 'Yeezus' album and insiders say his fiancee will "definitely" be part of the cast.
A source said: "It's going to be based on the 'Yeezus' album. That's pretty much a narrative of Kanye's life.
"Kanye will not appear in the movie. Kim is definitely going to be in it. The screenplay already features her character."
However, it has not yet been decided how big a role Kim will play in the movie.
The source continued to RadarOnline.com: "They're still working on the script, so it's unclear at this point if Kim will be a major star of the movie or making a smaller cameo but her role in the movie will be pivotal.
"Her role is going to be very dramatic. Far from the bubbly happy persona that she's always played."
Kanye plans to direct the movie - which will be dedicated to his late mother - and "wants to be heavily involved in all aspects of production."
