Life is in the fast lane for singer Lady Gaga

Singer Lady Gaga is taking driving lessons and has requested the paparazzi not to get in the way.

"Maybe while I'm learning to drive you don't need to sneak up on me and stick your camera in a moving vehicle," she tweeted after an encounter with an overeager photographer on Thursday.

Gaga was spotted zipping around the streets of Beverly Hills in a brand-new Audi R8 GT. The car, limited to a production of only 333, can reach speeds of up to 320km per hour and costs around $200,000 (Dh734,340).

It is assumed the car was a birthday gift that she gifted herself, reports starpulse.com.
