Lady Gagas choker face

The singer has splashed out thousands of pounds on crystal baby dummies to suck while shes on the road.

Each crystal contains a different type of mineral that represents various purpose and meaning.

These include fire agate for sexuality and creativity, aegirine for cleansing and purification and agates to awaken higher dimensional energies.

Surely she would have found as much variety in a bag of Revels.

A source said: Gaga is a great believer in these crystals.

Shes got them all over her pad and she has had them made into dummies so she can take them on tour.

Gaga thinks sucking the crystal will install the energies in her body and mind quicker.

It sounds strange but shes adamant they work.

The singer keeps the dummies in a special box, along with other personal items, and nobody is allowed to go near it. Purchasing crystal dummies hasnt been her only pre-tour concern.

She consulted a team of astrologers after fearing the stars would be aligned in the wrong direction.

Gaga is worried the planet Mercury is going retrograde when it appears to be travelling backwards through the sky which, according to stargazers, causes bad luck.

The US star will be desperate to avoid any back luck during the gruelling Born This Way Ball, which includes more than 100 dates. It kicks off on April 27 in South Korea and will arrive in the UK on September 8.

She has been heavily involved in the production process, including set and costume design.

However, Gaga has also been dragged into meetings about less glamorous aspects of the tour, which hasnt gone down well with the singer. She was recently forced to discuss technical difficulties with the smoke machines.

If she insists on being so hands-on, she cant complain about be! ing cons ulted on every detail.

Imagine her face when shes quizzed on fillings for her crews interval sandwiches.
