And in related news, I would have loved to have a  been a fly on the wall
when Lady Gaga had dinner with Wikileaks brain Julian Assange recently in
Oct. at the Ecuadorian embassy in the UK, where Assange has been granted
asylum:.

Lady Gaga visited Julian Assange at the Ecuadorian embassy in London and
the unlikely pair had dinner together last night, it has emerged.

The singer, who had been promoting her new perfume at Harrods next door,
was seen leaving the Knightsbridge embassy building dressed all in black
and wearing a pointed witch’s hat.

The WikiLeaks founder, who is wanted in Sweden over alleged sex attacks on
two women, has been holed up there since June and has claimed asylum.

Lady Gaga is said to have spent five hours with him, emerging at midnight
after the two had shared a meal.

Earlier, singer M.I.A. had tweeted a message to Lady Gaga saying: “If ur at
harrods today, come visit Assange at the Ecuador embassy across the st. im
there. Ill bring TEA and CAKE (sic).”

An embassy spokeswoman confirmed Lady Gaga had visited but said she did not
know whether M.I.A. had been there.

She said: “People can visit him (Assange) but usually he has his own team
set up the appointments.”

The visit from the Poker Face singer came as Assange’s high profile backers
who had stood as sureties for him were ordered to pay a court £93,500
because the Australian has skipped bail to seek asylum.

The supporters, who include a Nobel prize-winner, an aristocrat and an
academic, were warned they would face jail unless they found the cash
within a month.

Other supporters of the whistleblower have already lost £200,000 in
security money.

Lady Gaga was booed by angry fans on Sunday night when she arrived over an
hour late for the UK launch of her Fame perfume at the luxury department
store.

Many who turned out to see her were left disappointed, having failed to
even catch a glimpse of her before she dashed indoors.
