Lady Gaga fans will not put on a “Poker Face” with the release of the expanded edition of the singer’s commercially and critically acclaimed debut album, “The Fame.”

Set to hit stores on Nov. 23, Gaga’s repackaged CD titled “The Fame Monster” features eight brand new tracks, including the songs “Poker Face”-reminiscent, “Bad Romance,” and "Telephone" (a duet with Beyonce).

The rest of the songs in the lineup are “Alejandro,” “Monster,” “Speechless,” “Dance In The Dark,” “So Happy I Could Die,” and “Teeth.”

The Grammy nominee will also release a “Limited Edition Collectible Artbook” together with the repackaged album for “The Fame Monster: Super Deluxe Bundle” on Dec. 15.

According to Lady Gaga’s official website, the art book will include the definitive “Book of Gaga,” a coffee table book “housed in a custom slipcase documenting Gaga’s journey to pop superstardom.”

With it comes a collectible puzzle, a paper doll collection  pull-out posters, themed fanzines, 3-D glasses to view upcoming Gaga visuals, personal notes from Gaga herself, a behind-the-scenes look at her creative process, pictorials, and yes, a lock from the pop star’s own tresses.

Each of the books is individually numbered and has an autographed certificate of authenticity to guarantee originality.

Another good news to make Lady Gaga fans “just dance:” The dance diva's fourth single, “Paparazzi,” is on its way to the top five of Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. The song currently sits at number six with a bullet.

“Paparazzi” has also earned for the singer “The Weirdest Star” title in a recent survey.

Lady Gaga is set to kick off her “Monster Ball” tour on Nov. 27. She will perform in various cities in the U.S. and Europe until March 8, 2010.
