Lady Gaga picked up a bar tab for an entire Birmingham pub.

The 'Alejandro' singer - who is currently back in the UK for the second time on her 'Monster Ball' tour - went to The Prince of Wales pub on Wednesday (26.05.10), and treated locals to a round of drinks and left a huge tip at the bar.

A source inside the pub told the Sun newspaper: "Everyone was stunned when this striking blonde came in. Most of the blokes had no idea who she was at first.

"She sat at the bar with a pal for two hours, downing spirits and scribbling notes. She told the locals how much she was enjoying having a drink on a day off because she can't handle drinking before a show.

"She signed autographs for staff and left a huge tip - a few hundred pounds."

The 24-year-old took to twitter to talk about her time in the pub, and confessed she was writing a new song there.

She wrote: "In a Pub in England, ruining bar napkins with lyrics and memories. Dreams are never weak like we are, drunk or sober.(sic)"

Recently Lady Gaga confessed she had written a brand new song while in Liverpool.

Writing on her fan site Gagadaily.com, she said: "I've already written the first single for the new album and I promise you, that this album is the greatest of my career. It is the anthem for our generation.

"I wrote for you because of you, when I was in Liverpool, I wrote the greatest music I've ever written."
