At the charity dinner for Little Kids Rock last night at New York City's Edison Ballroom, Lady Gaga won the winning bid at a whopping $13K for dinner with Steven and Maureen Van Zandt. The Van Zandts visited Intermediate School 162 Lola Rodriguez De Tio in the Bronx a few weeks ago to jam with the students and donate musical instruments to the school on behalf of Little Kids Rock and Little Steven's Rock and Roll Forever Foundation.

Gaga plans to dine with the Van Zandts at Parma, a restaurant where she worked as a waitress years ago and, in fact, served Steven when she was 19 years old. Afterwards, she called her father (a big Springsteen fan), telling him Van Zandt ordered gnocchi.
