Lady GaGa meets boyfriends parents


Lady GaGa reportedly showed her "domestic side" in an attempt to impress her boyfriend Luc Carl's parents whom she met for the first time over Christmas.

According to The Sun, the 'Poker Face' singer travelled without her entourage and dressed casually when visiting Carl's childhood home for the first time.

A source said: "GaGa is used to the best hotel suites in the world but wanted to sleep with Luc in his old bed in the room he grew up in.

"The holidays are a special family time so she wanted to slot in without any fuss.

"It's a chance for her to get to know them, show her domestic side and prove there's more to her than what they see on the TV."

The 24-year-old treated the family to a trip to a local bowling alley and casino, where she was apparently taught how to play blackjack by Carl's father.
