Lady Gaga 'Installs £40,000 Fish Tank In Home For Company After Hip Surgery'
The 'Born This Way' diva hopes the fish will entertain her as she recuperates from her operation
Lady Gaga will no doubt have plenty of hours of fun ahead of her with reports that she has installed a £40,000 Japanese fish tank in her home as a form of entertainment while she recovers from her recent hip surgery.
The 'Poker Face' singer will be resting at home for the next few weeks to recover from the operation she underwent in February after tearing her right hip during her 'Born This Way Ball' tour which she was forced to cancel after being left unable to walk.
While she may be holed up at home, Gaga, 26, has found some friends to keep her company, reportedly splashing out thousands of dollars on 27 koi carp.
“Gaga said she’d had a dream about the fish so she had her team source some koi and set up a massive tank,” a source told The Sun.
“The whole exercise cost over £40,000, which is a lot to most people but small change to her.”

Lady Gaga and Jay-Z battle over Michael Jackson's Neverland ranch
Jay-Z and Lady Gaga are at war as they try to outbid each other to buy Michael Jackson's Neverland estate.
The rapper, 43, and wife Beyoncé toured the £18.9 million ranch and fairground last year and are said to be interested in turning it into the HQ for their business empire.
However, Gaga, 26, also wants to get her hands on it and plans to open it up to the public with a zoo and amusement park.
'Jay-Z has deeper pockets than Gaga and is willing to outbid her if need be,' reveals our source.
'It's near his good friend Oprah Winfrey's estate and she's encouraging him to go ahead with the renovation plans, so Gaga will probably be left out in the cold.'

Zedd Preps 'Proper Show' For Solo Tour Following Lady Gaga Cancellation
If all had gone according to plan, Zedd would be two dates into his eight-city run opening for pal Lady Gaga on her Born This Way Ball tour. But plans changed and Mother Monster had to cancel the tour last month to recover from hip surgery.
Now with some extra time on his hands, the "Clarity" producer has been thinking about his own jaunt. Nothing is set in stone, but the EDM star stopped by MTV News recently and opened up about what he might do on his tour, which he hopes to take to big-scale venues.
"There's a really big tour I'm planning right now, and we're working on the details. As soon as it's ready I'm going to announce it," he teased, before breaking down some of the elements he hopes to bring to it.
"Well, first of all, it's gonna be great because everything we do with lights and visuals is live so there's nothing pre-programmed, which means I can switch up my set at any time," he explained. "We literally study every single song; go through colors, shapes, visuals. If there's a new song, we'll most likely get a new visual for it. So it's not gonna be only music. It will be a proper show and as you say, the more tickets we sell, the bigger the venues are, the bigger the stages are, the more we can do. That's kind of the goal. I want to play really, really big venues and put on a proper show."
He does have some other gigs on his docket, even with the Gaga shows canned. In addition to smaller solo gigs, he'll play a show on the Masquerade Motel with Swedish House Mafia this weekend. And he'll be at SXSW next week, where he's up for the Breaking Woodie honor at the 2013 mtvU Woodie Awards. Zedd will also be at the Ultra Music Festival in Miami later this month before heading overseas.
Those are some big shows. And Zedd admits that for him the bigger, the better. "I do sometimes [like small shows] but to be completely honest, I do prefer the bigger shows," he said. "There's a lot of artists that love the small shows and ... I like the big shows. There's a certain point after 10,000 people where it gets hard to tell if it's 10 or 40 thousand. It's kind of the same thing. It's not very personal, but I still love the other side of it. The energy you get from so many people doing the same thing, singing along, you can't really do that with 100 people."

Lady Gaga's 'experimental' album 'ARTPOP' expected to drop this summer
Lady Gaga has been awfully quiet since her hip injury forced her to cancel the remainder of her wildly successful Born This Way Ball tour, but could her silence simply be the calm before the storm? According to fashion designer Stevie Boi, Gaga’s highly-anticipated new album "ARTPOP" is set to drop this summer. Stevie Boi, who has worked with Gaga several times in the past, tweeted on March 1, “It's an Blessing to work with the Queen >>@LadyGaga ArtPop this summer! Get ready Monsterz.”
Though a single tweet from a fashion designer may not seem like much confirmation, his prediction of a summer release is consistent with prominent Lady Gaga fan site Propagaga’s statement that Lady Gaga’s team was planning to begin promo for the new album in July. Furthermore, many little monsters claim to have been told of a summer release from Gaga herself while spending time with her backstage after shows.
Miles Viljanen from Pasadena met Lady Gaga backstage on Jan. 20 after being picked out of the crowd to join her on stage during the show. When asked about the rumors regarding the timing of "ARTPOP" during a recent interview for Gagaism.org, Miles replied, “From what I remember, I feel like she did say something about the album being released after the tour,” which was scheduled to wrap in late March at the time, making a summer release likely.
Miles also used the interview to relay information directly from Lady Gaga about what to expect from "ARTPOP" itself. “She insisted that it’s very different from Born This Way; somewhat experimental and very new. She makes changes to it constantly, but it will contain dance hits with those signature sledgehammer hooks.
“I asked her, ‘Is ARTPOP going to make me want to go party hard on a Friday night? Because your last few albums sure did the trick.’ Then she turned to me with this coy look and replied, ‘Ya, it’s going to make you want to f------ dance your ass off.’”
