Lady Gaga arrives in Sydney

Dunya News

SYDNEY went gaga with the arrival of US pop diva to Brisbane.

And just when we thought the claw-nailed, blue-haired chanteuse may opt for a dowdy tracksuit and some sensible shoes for her Sydney arrival, we were pleasantly relieved to see the visiting singer frock up appropriately for her grand entrance at the Park Hyatt Hotel last night.Made up from top-to-toe, Lady Gaga spent 30 minutes with fans outside the hotel before retreating inside - where, we hear, she had a wardrobe change before venturing out with some of her entourage. Its understood Gaga and pals stopped by Bar 100 at The Rocks en route to Dave Freemans Kings Cross speakeasy Backroom.After all, with three days until her first Sydney show - at Allphones Arena on Wednesday night - there is plenty of time to shake off a hangover.Meanwhile Gagas recent censorship troubles in Thailand have followed her to Australia, with reports the Cultural Ministry of Thailand has filed an official complaint with the US Embassy for what it says is an offensive use of the Thai flag after she appeared on stage with a Thai flag tied to a motorcycle.
