quicklist: title: Lena Dunham Caves to Book Tour Backlash text: After enormous backlash, "Girls" creator and star Lena Dunham will actually pay the artists who will be the opening acts for her 11-city book tour. The New York Times and Gawker wrote scathing articles that revealed the actress won't be paying the local artists who were sifted out from an open-call video audition. About 600 people had signed up for a chance at the cheap spotlight.

On Monday, Dunham wrote in a series of Tweets, "As an artist raised by artists, no one believes more than I do that creators should be fairly compensated for their work."

"This feature of the tour was meant to be a way to showcase local talent and I could not be more excited about it," Dunham tweeted.

"Some good points were raised and I've ensured that all opening acts will be compensated for their time, their labor and their talents."

"The fact that Gawker pointed this out really proves Judd Apatow's saying that 'a good note can come from anywhere,'" she wrote via Twitter.
