Lady Gaga steps out in platform boots

Lady Gaga steps out in platform boots and fur as she goes sightseeing in Sydney

Happy lady: The U.S. star was in good spirits as she enjoyed her day off in Sydney

When most tourists go sightseeing they tend to blend in with the crowd, but not Lady Gaga.
The 26-year-old singer was spotted out and about in Sydney today dressed in her usual eccentric style as she took a break from performing.
Wearing her trademark platform boots and large white sunglasses, Gaga headed down the wharf to board a boat for a Sydney Harbour cruise.
She teamed her towering heels with a pair of white leggings and an off-the-shoulder cream jumper.
Despite it being winter Down Under, the Born This Way singer clearly wasn't bothered about showing off some flesh but she did carry a light-coloured fur garment over her arm just in case she began to feel the cold.
As she emerged from her hotel with her blonde hair pulled up into a beehive, Gaga was surrounded by a small team who ensured that she didn't tumble in her extremely high boots.
As she made her way to the boat, the U.S. star was followed by eager fans who snapped away and no doubt asked for her autograph.
Gaga was clearly enjoying her day off from her Born This Way Ball tour which has seen her play four nights in Sydney.
The singer was beaming from ear to ear as she relaxed on the boat with her friends and enjoyed a drink.
Gaga was no doubt feeling grateful for the break before she heads to Melbourne where she will play five shows at the Rod Laver Arena.

Lady Gaga in soup over Bangkok concert

First she made a joke about buying a fake rolex. Now Thailand's culture ministry has filed a complaint to police against Lady Gaga for misuse of the Thai flag during her show last month.
"We are not asking police to prosecute her but it's our normal procedure to file complaints to concerned agencies when we receive them," a senior ministry official, who declined to be named, said by telephone.
The ministry said the part of Lady Gaga's performance when she wore a traditional headdress and sat on  motorcycle in a skimpy outfit with a Thai flag trailing behind was "inappropriate and hurt Thai people's sentiment."
 the ministry noted that the Thai national flag consisted of three colours -- red for the nation, blue for the revered monarchy and white for religion.
Gaga caused a stir soon after her arrival in Thailand last month by tweeting that "I wanna get lost in a lady market and buy fake Rolex," remarks that some Thais complained cast the kingdom in a negative light.
About 50,000 people attended her concert in Bangkok, which was part of a tour that sparked protests from religious hardliners in Indonesia, the Philippines and South Korea.
