Lady Gaga flaunts head tattoo... but hides fuller frame under a leopard-print dress

PUBLISHED: 01:51 EST, 22 September 2012 | UPDATED: 11:57 EST, 22 September 2012

She revealed her 25lb weight gain during a radio interview this week.

And Lady Gaga kept her fuller frame covered up in a leopard-print dress while arriving at her Paris hotel on Friday night.

The 26-year-old hitmaker hid her new curves under the dramatic zip-up dress with wide peplum hips, which she wore with Victorian-style black platform booties.

Mother Monster was clearly more interested in showing off her new cherub tattoo on the back of her partially shaved head - inked in honour of photographer Terry Richardson's deceased mother - by pulling her reddish brown hair and wig into an elaborate top-knot towards her crown.

Not in France tonight was Gaga's on/off boyfriend Vampire Diaries star Taylor Kinney, who will next be seen in Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty.

Earlier this week the Marry the Night singer told radio host Elvis Duran that she is 'dieting now' after eating too much 'pizza and pasta' on the road for her Born This Way tour.

'I really don’t feel bad about it, not even for a second,' Gaga said.

'I have to be on such a strict diet constantly. It’s hard because it’s a quite vigorous show, so I tend to bulk up, get muscular, and I really don’t like that. So I’m trying to find a new balance.'

The Poker Face crooner also said she picked up her carb-loving eating habits from her dad Joe Germanotta, who owns Joanne Trattoria, a New York restaurant.

'It’s so freaking delicious, but I’m telling you I gain five pounds every time I go in there. So my dad wants me to eat at the restaurant, and I’m, like, I’ve got to go where I can drink green juice.'

But it wasn't the star's figure that was grabbing people's attention as she took to the stage in Amsterdam on Tuesday night.

Gaga was seen mid-show lighting a big joint of marijuana and inhaling it during a break.

Praising the 'wondrous' drug, the singer told fans she had cut down on drinking alcohol because she prefers smoking the substance.

She was quoted as telling The Sun newspaper: 'I want you to know it has totally changed my life and I’ve really cut down on drinking.

'It has been a totally spiritual experience for me with my music. It’s like saying everybody needs to take a breath and it’s going to be OK.'

Where's the rest of it? Gaga seemed to have forgotten her bottoms as she carried a large bunch of flowers out of the car

Gaga has been open about how hard she usually works to maintain her trim physique, and caused controversy earlier this year by revealing her diet habits.

Writing on her Twitter page, she said: 'Just killed back to back spin classes. Eating a salad dreaming of a cheeseburger #PopSingersDontEat #IWasBornThisWay.'

The tweet angered many of her 29million Twitter followers.

The five-time Grammy winner, who's admitted to having eating disorders as a teenager, is set to make her debut film appearance in Robert Rodriguez's upcoming movie Machete Kills.

She's PREGNANT and hiding it from the public, you'll see. That's the real reason she stopped bleaching her hair. - Bill Clay, Miami, United States Umm, yeah. That's why she's happily toking away in public on a joint.

Gaga has nice eyes, a strong nose but quite nice. She has beautiful teeth and a well shaped full mouth but for some reason all together it does not work. She never looks attractive or pretty to me.

Clear signs of instability, and signs that she actually doesn't accept or like herself. Exhibitionist which she clearly is, often have deep insecurities and are trying to not only get attention but some sort of approval to make the insecurities go away. She often has her face covered, another sign of self loathing. I fear for her future. What will happen in two generations when the "little monsters" have grown up and moved on? She is setting herself up for a huge fall.

She is not talented, attractive or original. What is wrong with her fans? She is like a bad comedy skit no one has caught onto yet.

Photoshopped! I've seen other pictures very recently tat do NOT show her with a huge double chin. Please! Just look at the disparity among the photos you've printed.
