Lady Gagas carping on

LADY GAGA has found a way to kill time as she recovers from surgery on her hip.

The singer has bought 27 koi carp for a tank shes had installed in her house.

The singer was forced to cancel US tour dates last month so she could have an operation to fix a tear on her right hip.

The pain was so bad that the star was unable to walk before the surgery and doctors ordered her to have strict downtime while it all heals.

So shes had the fish shipped especially from Japan and the tank set up close to her sickbed to entertain her as she recovers.

A source said: Gaga said shed had a dream about the fish so she had her team source some koi and set up a massive tank. The whole exercise cost over 40,000, which is a lot to most people but small change to her.

If shes still taking strong painkillers after her operation then shell find those fish looking pretty hypnotic.

It would have been cheaper to get a DVD of Extreme Fishing With ROBSON GREEN.
