Because 'LoveGame' is considered as too rude for U.K. listeners, Lady GaGa will reportedly release 'Paparazzi' as U.K. third single instead.

AceShowbiz - Chart-topper Lady GaGa, who recently claimed the top spot on U.K. singles chart for her songs "Poker Face" and "Just Dance", is said not to release "LoveGame" as U.K. third single. The decision is drawn reportedly because she considers the song's lyrics, which contain line "I want to take a ride on your disco stick," are too rude for her fans in the country.
While no official statement is shared by Lady GaGa's camp concerning the issue, a source says as quoted by The Sun, "For your first two UK singles to go to No 1 is amazing and we would like to try and carry that on." Also, it is suggested that "Paparazzi" will be dropped in replacement of "LoveGame".
Written by Lady GaGa and RedOne, "LoveGame" is one of the songs appearing in her debut album "The Fame". Its music video, which features naked Lady GaGa frolicking with two men, has been banned in Australia despite the fact that the single has climbed to number 18 on Australia Singles chart.
In another related news, Lady GaGa was supposed to work with Calvin Harris on her first effort, however she was turned down by the singer/songwriter/power house producer. Opening up the matter is Calvin himself, stating, "I thought, Lady GaGa, what sort of name is that? So I replied saying, 'Nah, I'm not into that.' Fast forward a year and she's the biggest thing. But I don't regret turning her down as I didn't think the song I heard then was that good."
Most recently, Lady GaGa was reported to make a duet with Rihanna following the arrival of a song called "Silly Boy", which is claimed to be a demo for their duet. Up to date, neither denial nor confirmation has been issued by both of them regarding this rumor.
