Even Superstars have horrific wardrobe malfunctions

Oops! Lady Gaga splits pants during Vancouver show
By Soraya Roberts | North Stars – 9 hours ago

We're used to Lady Gaga dropping her pants, but splitting them? That's a new fashion statement for her.

The "Bad Romance" singer ripped the back of a pair of latex pants while on stage in Vancouver this weekend, the first North American stop on her "Born This Way" tour. According to Gossip Cop, the wardrobe malfunction occurred while Gaga was performing "Heavy Metal Lover" on Friday. As she sat astride a motorcycle onstage, her pants split, revealing her nude fishnets beneath.

But ever the show-woman, Gaga reportedly continued her performance without hesitation (she even wore the same ripped pants for Saturday's show -- maybe she preferred them like that!). Contributing to the problem might have been the fact that she hadn't yet broken the outfit in. In November, the 26-year-old pop star revealed that she was getting new costumes for the North American leg of her tour.

"THE BORN THIS WAY BALL is getting a face-lift for America," she tweeted. "I heard rumors @VERSACE IS CUSTOM DESIGNING ALL THE CLOTHES AND NEW LOOKS."

According to a somewhat catty report on Radar Online, the outfits were actually ordered because "the tight, skimpy outfits weren’t doing anything for Gaga’s new fuller figure," a source told the website.

In September, Gaga responded to reports she had gained weight by launching a body-revolution campaign. And just last week, she got into an online feud with Kelly Osbourne, slamming the reality star's appearance on "Fashion Police," a show that rips celebs apart for their outfit choices and sometimes even for their bodies.

"It used to make me truly sad when I would hear people talk about your weight when you were younger, as I was bullied too," Gaga wrote on her website, in response to Osbourne calling out her Little Monsters for being bullies. "To see you blossoming into a beautiful slender woman who makes fun of others for a living is astounding. Why not help others?"

Looks like Lady Gaga has more important things on her mind than a little rip in her pants.

Even Versace latex is not immune to the curse of glued seams.
