Ga-gorgeous! Lady Gaga's $25,000-a-month Beverly Hills palace

By Mail Online Reporter

Posh pad: Despite the outrageous outfits, Lady Gaga, seen flying out of Heathrow last week, is leasing a traditionally luxurious mansion


She’s a pop star with a taste for the outrageous, but it seems Lady Gaga is actually partial to a bit of traditional luxury when it comes to her choice of home.

According to real estate celebrity blog, the realestalker, Gaga has been leasing a swanky five bedroom, five bathroom pad in Beverly Hills since last October.

The 24-year-old native New Yorker is said to be forking out a whopping $25,000 per month for the two storey mansion.

Photos of the property show a theatrically lit long driveway leading up to the house which boasts a sunken formal living room, a wood panelled library and home fitness centre.

The only problem is she's away so much, she rarely gets a chance to stay there.

And Gaga, real name, Stefani Germanotta, sleeps in a posh master suite which has a custom fitted walk-in closet where she can store her extravagant costumes.

Outside, a double infinity edged swimming pool visually drops off into the surrounding canyon.

The house is said to now be worth $16,500,000.

And if the star find herself rattling around too much in the mansion, she can always invite some of her celebrity neighbours round for a sing song.

Celebs living nearby include Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, singer Jessicas Simpson, Penelope Cruz and Madonna's manager Guy Oseary.

The blog also reports that Gaga might be interested in purchasing the property., despite her comments in a recent interview that she isn't too keen on living in Hollywood.

'I'll always have one high heel in New York City,' she told Rolling Stone magazine. 'I live in Hollywood, but you can't make me love Hollywood. I'll never love Hollywood.'
