Picture special: Lady Gaga after shaving her hair to give Bollywood impression

On Wednesday she channeled 1500's royalty.

But on Thursday, Gaga showed she's no lady as she exited her New York City apartment wearing a see-through bra and sheer jumpsuit.

Always eager to try new things, the 28-year-old songstress sported a brand new shaved patch on the back of her head and appeared to be channelling the Bollywood princess look with extravagant silver jewellery.

All black everything: Lady Gaga wore a sheer black bra as she carried her black French Bulldog Asia under her arm as perhaps the cutest part of the outfit as she strolled through New York City on Thursday

The star's tresses were cropped at the back and beneath the last strands, a patch remained as evidence that the star went under the razor.
The cutest part of the Poker Face hitmaker's outfit was of course her French Bulldog, Asia.

Gaga's all-black ensemble was entirely see-through, aside from a high-waisted pair of shorts clinging tightly to her thighs and affording her a slither of modesty.

Her jumpsuit draped across her body, but rather than allowing it to fall naturally across her chest she adjusted the garment so that it gaped wide open.

There wasn't much to say for the opacity of the fabric the singer's bra was made from either.

Short hair, don't care: Gaga debuted her newly shaved off patch on the back of her head on Thursday

Bare: The singer sported an interesting new 'do with her hair cropped over the shaved underside

Peace out: The 28-year-old songstress and self proclaimed work of art offered a sign of peace

Gaga and her baby: The pop star's puppy seemed fairly comfortable with the limelight in her young age

Justin Bieber ‘will plead guilty to reckless driving' in DUI case

Justin Bieber is set to settle his Miami DUI case with a plea bargain deal that will allegedly see most of the charges against the troubled singer dropped.

The 20-year-old will reportedly plead guilty to the reckless driving charge made during his arrest in January while the rest of his charges with be dismissed according to TMZ.

Justin was originally charged with driving under the influence, resisting arrest, reckless driving and driving without a valid license when police officers claimed to have caught him and pal Khalil drag racing on Miami streets in the early hours of the morning.

New deal: Justin Bieber is set to settle his Miami DUI case with a plea bargain deal that will allegedly see most of the charges against the troubled singer dropped

While it has since been reported that the hitmaker was neither drag racing or drunk on the night, he did test positive for marijuana.

TMZ reports that the reason the plea deal has taken so long to be sorted is due to the fact the judge allegedly wanted Bieber to star in and pay for an anti-drug PSA.
However, Bieber’s lawyers resisted because they felt that the idea was inappropriate.

The singer’s camp also felt it was unnecessary for the star with attend a drug and alcohol education curse because he does not have a substance abuse problem and attending classes would indicate that he does.

 

A source told the site: ‘Bieber will plead guilty to reckless driving and the other charges will be dismissed.  He'll pay a fine and attend anger management classes.  He will NOT be placed on probation. 

Meanwhile, his rapper friend Khalil will use the same plea but will not have to attend any classes.
Once Bieber and Khalil complete the requirements of the settlement, the reckless driving conviction will then be wiped from their record.

The deal is expected to be entered in court in coming weeks.

In trouble with the law again: The 20-year-old - seen in LA in May -  was under investigation for attempted robbery

The news comes after the singer's robbery case was rejected by the Los Angeles District Attorney.

Justin was hit by claims earlier this month that he had allegedly stolen a woman's phone in Sherman Oaks, California, after she photographed him.

But the prosecutor's office has rejected the case after Los Angeles Police found no evidence to support the woman's allegations, TMZ reports.

Police interviewed nine eyewitnesses at the scene of the alleged crime, Sherman Oaks Castle Park, and not a single one could confirm the woman's claims.

Another confrontation: Justin Bieber reportedly called a woman a 'b***h' for filming him at a stable

The District Attorney rejected the case, however they did send it to the City Attorney, which could result in a misdemeanor.

Earlier this month The LA Times spoke to Officer Rosario Herrera of the Los Angeles Police Department, who confirmed: 'He has been accused of attempted robbery.'

The pop singer, who wore jeans, a black T-shirt and a maroon coloured beanie, was alleged to have 'wrestled' with the mother to try and obtain her cell phone, to stop her from taking pictures, and eventually 'ripped' it from her hands. She was with her 13-year-old daughter at the time.

The last month has probably been one of the most difficult for Katie Price, after she discovered her husband Kieran Hayler was cheating on her with her best friend Jane Poutney.

However her new Bentley must have been a welcome distraction for the pregnant businesswoman on Wednesday, as she cruised through the sunny capital with the top down.

Arsenal earn £5.6m from Fabregas' move to Chelsea... Gunners can now go after Balotelli with £100m kitty

Arsenal will pocket £5.6million from the sale of former Gunner Cesc Fabregas to Chelsea.

The Spanish midfielder completed his return to London on Thursday in a £30m move from Barcelona, signing a contract in the region of £150,000-a-week.

But the deal will also boost Arsenal's already healthy £100million transfer budget and enable them to pursue striker Mario Balotelli who is among manager Arsene Wenger's summer targets.

Blue: Cesc Fabregas has signed for Chelsea from Barcelona on a five-year deal

New signing: Fabregas will wear the No 4 shirt and counts as a homegrown player for Chelsea

Former blue: Jack Wilshere once revealed that Frank Lampard and Fabregas dislike each other

In addition to the buy-back clause, Arsenal were also believed to have struck a deal entitling them to 50 percent of the profit from Fabregas' next move.

However, Sportsmail understands the payment made to Arsenal in relation to Fabregas' move to Chelsea will come from the acceleration of all performance clauses, as if they were achieved, from the original deal in 2011.

Arsenal snubbed the chance to re-sign their former captain but will still benefit from the sale of the 27-year-old to their rivals.

And, in announcing his return to the Premier League, Fabregas was quick to underline the fact his former club rejected the chance to bring him back to the Emirates Stadium.

Fabregas came through the ranks at Arsenal, and went on to captain the side before returning to boyhood club Barcelona in 2011.

Arsenal secured a first-option buy-back clause as part of the £35million deal which saw Fabregas return to Catalonia.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger had considered taking up the option once it became clear Barca were looking to sell the midfielder.

But with the likes of Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Ozil, Jack Wilshere, Mikel Arteta and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain already at the club, Wenger decided his squad did not need another creative midfielder.

Wanted: Mario Balotelli is among Arsenal's chief transfer targets this summer

Make it official: Barcelona released an official statement thanking Fabregas for his time

Wenger and Fabregas continue to have a close relationship, while it is understood returning to north London was Fabregas' preferred destination.

Despite the fact Fabregas' move to Chelsea has been mooted for several days, there remained an element of surprise that Wenger snubbed the opportunity to re-sign Fabregas from within the club yesterday.

And the ex-Arsenal captain was at pains to point out that it was Arsenal's decision to end any potential reunion, and not vice versa.

'Firstly I would like to thank everyone at FC Barcelona where I enjoyed three wonderful years. It was my childhood club and I will always be proud and honoured that I had a chance to play for such a great team.

Brazil and Barca star Neymar, posts selfie with his girlfriend on his Superman phone

Neymar made a blistering start to his World Cup on Thursday night with a double against Croatia - but UK broadcaster ITV have been forced to apologise after their online service stopped as the 22-year-old scored his second goal from the penalty spot.
Brazil's star - who has long been hailed as the 'next Pele' - cancelled out Marcelo's own goal in the first half before converting a contentious penalty when Fred went down easily in the box.
But some ITV viewers were left scrambling to find footage of the goal. Thankfully for them, Brazil legend Kaka was on hand with an Instagram video of the finish from the stadium in Sao Paulo.

Almost perfect: After scoring a brace for Brazil in their World Cup opener, Neymar said the one thing missing from his day was model girlfriend Gabriella Lenzi

Goal-den: Neymar slots home his penalty to put Brazil in front against Croatia

Hero: Neymar was the star of the show on the opening night

Tough to take: Fans who have waited four years for the World Cup to start were furious to have missed some of the opening fixture

The broadcaster said: 'We’re seeing unprecedented numbers of users during the game.

'We apologise for any inconvenience, we’re working hard to resume normal service.'

It later added: “We’re so sorry for the disruption tonight. It wasn’t planned and we know it came at a crucial time during the match. Apologies again.'

Chelsea midfielder Oscar completed the scoring in injury time as Brazil made a winning start - if unconvincing - start to their Group A campaign.

After his brace, Neymar posted a selfie with his model girlfriend Gabriella Lenzi taken on his Superman-covered smartphone.

Tearful exit: Sagna's last game for Arsenal was in their 3-2 FA Cup final victory against Hull City in May

High note: The FA Cup victory was the only trophy Sagna won during his seven-year spell at Arsenal

FOLLOWING THE TREND

Bacary Sagna is the fifth Arsenal player in five years to move to Manchester City. Sportsmail reviews the other transfers.
Emmanuel Adebayor - £25million - July 2009
Kolo Toure - £14million - July 2009
Gael Clichy - £7million - July 2011
Samir Nasri - £24million - August 2011
Total: £70million

In a club statement City announced their 'delight' at the capture of the defender who has won 41 caps for his country. 

The statement read: 'Manchester City are delighted to announce that Bacary Sagna will join the Club for next season.

'The 31-year-old full-back will complete his transfer from Arsenal on a three year contract following the World Cup in Brazil, where he is currently on duty with the French squad.

'Sagna is a hugely experienced defender, having represented Arsenal 213 times since joining  them from Auxerre in 2007. During that time he has picked up 41 caps for the French national side.

'France are in Group E of the World Cup, alongside Switzerland, Ecuador and Honduras. They begin their World Cup campaign against Honduras on Saturday.

'Sagna will join up with his new team-mates for the first time after the end of the World Cup, when the squad take in their tour to America.'

'He will take up the vacant squad number 3, the same number he wore for the Gunners.'

Sagna becomes the latest Gunner to move to City - following in the footsteps of Emmanuel Adebayor, Samir Nasri, Kolo Toure and Gael Clichy.

With Clichy and Nasri still playing for the blue half of Manchester, the France international will be reunited with the duo as Manuel Pellegrini's side look to defend their league title next season.

Earlier in the week, Sagna thanked Arsenal and Arsene Wenger in another clear message that he was set to quit the club.

The full-back, part of France's squad at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, took to his Twitter and Instagram pages to post the lengthy message which signalled the end of his association with Arsenal.

Sagna, who played 231 times for Arsenal, finished his career at the club on a high with their 3-2 comeback victory against Hull City in the FA Cup final at Wembley in May.

'Sagna, 31, signed for Arsenal from Auxerre in the summer of 2007 and went on to make a total of 284 appearances for the club.

'An integral part of Arsenal’s defence over the past seven seasons, the France international brought his time with the Gunners to a fitting close last month when he helped the team win the FA Cup in his final match.

'Everyone at Arsenal Football Club would like to thank Bacary for his fantastic contribution, and wish him all the best for the future.'

Meanwhile, City hope to finalise a deal for Porto midfielder Fernando once he has sorted out outstanding financial issues with the Portuguese side.

Robin Van Persie went from being 'star man' under Ferguson to 'sideshow' under Moyes, says Ferdinand

Rio Ferdinand thinks Robin van Persie went from being adored under Sir Alex Ferguson to unloved by David Moyes at Manchester United.

Ferdinand, an ex-United defender, was asked about Van Persie's below par season at Old Trafford, and admitted the new boss did little to invigorate the striker in the same way as his predecessor.

'When Sir Alex Ferguson left, he went from being the star man, our go-to guy, the top scorer, to being almost like a sideshow,' said Ferdinand.

'I think that the dynamics changed.

'The manager, David Moyes, was talking up Wayne Rooney and forwards need to be loved.

'And I don't think he felt that love last season.'

Ferdinand is acting as a pundit alongside Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry and Gary Lineker in the BBC studios in Brazil.

Van Persie is captaining the Netherlands during their World Cup opener against Spain in Group B, and is doing so under manager Louis van Gaal.

His headed goal was followed by a celebration with his national manager, where Van Persie ran towards Van Gaal, prompting Henry to say: 'If you have a boss that loves you, look at this.'

Van Gaal will follow his Dutch forward back to Manchester once the tournament is finished, after being named new United boss following the sacking of Moyes.
