Lady Gaga has reportedly been ordered to lose weight after pictures emerged this week of the 'Born This Way' star looking larger than she has in recent years.
Gaga, who put the weight gain down to eating too much Italian food, was seen smoking a spliff in Amsterdam with some onlookers suggesting she had gained weight since she last performed live.
Now, a source close to Gaga tells RadarOnline how: "The tight, skimpy outfits weren't doing anything for Gaga's new fuller figure, so Universal ordered more flattering and better fitting costumes for the rest of the tour.
Adding: "Gaga has an incredible appetite for Italian food, which stems largely from her roots. It's very easy on tour to get hooked on a diet of pizza and pasta because they are comfort foods – and when you are away from home you always long for something that reminds you of where you came from.
"She loves to eat, but because of her tiny frame it shows if she doesn't work out as much as normal," they continued. "Executives told her to quit gorging on her favourite foods."
It was even claimed at one point that Gaga might be pregnant with reality TV star Kelly Osbourne stating: "I think she is pregnant because she has been covering up this part of her body recently and I have been noticing that a lot," she told Alan Carr on his TV chat show. "And her style has changed and you can’t bleach your hair blonde when you are pregnant."
