Lady Gaga on her perfect fella

The singer said: "It ranges from a really big d*** to a degree at Harvard."

That's a bit more difficult than a box of Milk Tray and Tesco flowers.

Gaga added to her list: "Talent and perseverance and pushing the boundaries of love and acceptance."

Her new fella Taylor Kinney didn't go to Harvard...

And even though she has high expectations, she won't return the favour with domesticated behaviour. Gaga is so put off by the idea of washing sheets and doing the Hoovering that she is refusing to buy a house of her own, preferring to stay at her parents' gaff.

She said: "I'm not ready to buy a house. It feels like marriage or something. It's such a commitment, I don't like it.

"I do love being with my parents but I also just really fear domestication. I just don't have a home, I am 25 and buying a house feels a little weird.

New man ... Taylor Kinney

"I actually sleep at my best friend Bo's apartment a lot. She kicks her boyfriend on to the couch and it's really funny. We stay up and watch movies."

Bet that's not what Bo's bloke had in mind when she told him Lady Gaga was going to share their bed.

The singer has spent the last few days promoting her new self-titled picture book, which is a compilation of photos taken by American snapper Terry Richardson. She said: "This is me in my most completely vulnerable state. Terry was with me during break-ups, during get-togethers, during party times, sad times, landmark moments in my career.

"It's for those of you that ask me: 'What do you look like in the morning?' 'What do you do when you get milk?' 'What do you look like at the grocery store?' "

The last one depends on whether she has stopped off at the meat counter yet.
