Lady GaGa blames weight gain on father's food

Lady GaGa has blamed her father's cooking for her recent weight gain.

The singer's father Joe Germanotta opened an Italian eatery in New York, which GaGa has blamed for her two stone weight gain.

She told radio host Elvis Duran: "I love eating pasta and I'm a New York Italian girl. That's why I have been staying out of New York.

"My father opened a restaurant. It's so amazing... it's so freaking delicious, but I'm telling you I gain five pounds every time I go there."

The singer has been spotted bulging out of her skimpy tour costumes in recent shows, but admitted that she is taking steps towards losing weight.

She said: "I'm dieting now but my God, I think I gained, like, 25 pounds (1.8 stone) over Christmas."

This week, Kelly Osbourne predicted that the popstar was pregnant, suggesting: "I think she is pregnant because she has been covering up this part of her body recently and I have been noticing that a lot."

However, the 26-year-old singer crushed rumours when she smoked cannabis on stage at her 'Born This Way Ball' Amsterdam tour date.
