Lady Gaga was seen dumping champagne over a V.I.P. railing at the end of last night's New York Giants game and, according to the New York Post, it dripped into a section of MetLife Stadium reserved for disabled fans.
It's just one more occasion where the meat-wearing singer has shown up at a New York sporting events and created a scene, or more accurately, annoyed the fans.
There were no reports of anyone being showered by the bubbly, but it's the third arena where she's worn the home team's hat and acted like a monster.
She has a habit of showing up at New York venues and pulling some stunt, safely, from the security of her luxury box.
Last summer she even riled Jerry Seinfeld enough, after she flipped the bird to fans while sitting at a Mets game at CitiField, that he went public with his annoyance.
The comic was probably thinking: "You ever notice that people who wear food as clothing shouldn't be allowed into sporting events?"
Gaga better not wear the flank steak outfit in the Giants parking lot before a game or it'll end up on some one's grill.
A week after the Mets spectacle, the "Born This Way" singer invaded the Yankees clubhouse swilling whiskey and talking with the players.
At last night's game Gaga wore a bright blue Giants cap to go with her tutu skirt and giant sunglasses.
Apparently, she was celebrating some one's birthday and tweeted about her night.
"@#Giantsgame watching them win like Champions. Touchdown Baby!#GoBlue," she pecked.
The Giants beat the St. Louis Rams, 28-16.
First CitiField, then Yankee Stadium, now MetLife Stadium... Lady Gaga coming to Madison Square Garden soon... and not to sing.

Giants Michael Boley Spikes Football Into Face Of A Fan
Maybe, because it was his first NFL touchdown, New York Giants Michael Boley can be forgiven for performing one of the worst football spikes in recent memory during last night's game. If the score doesn't leave an imprint in NFL history, the torpedo-like ball left one in some poor fan's face.
Boley, after scooping up a fumbled screen pass to St. Louis Rams running back Cadillac Williams, raced 65 yards to score a second quarter TD then, after the Giants linebacker crossed the goal line, he spiked the ball directly into the face of a fan standing behind the end zone.
It doesn't look like Boley intentionally drilled the ball into the unsuspecting man, but the horizontal toss was a direct hit to the nose and had enough power to ricochet off the guy's face into the back of a cameraman's head.
Boley's first NFL score came after being at the right place at the right time, with the Giants leading 7-6 early in the second quarter, and the defense was struggling. The Rams were marching to what looked like at least a field goal when Rams QB Sam Bradford threw a screen to Williams in the left flat.
The ball which went backwards slipped through the running back's hands and fell to the ground. Williams made no attempt to grab it, so Boley picked it up and raced down the sideline.
Suddenly the Giants lead was 14-6 and the team went on to a 28-16 win in their home opener at MetLife Stadium.
"The Boley play was big, no question," said Giants coach Tom Coughlin. "When you score on defense, that's a huge play."
Next time, Boley scores, fans might want to move out of spiking distance.

Giants Nicks and Tuck Expect to Play on Monday Night
The New York Giants got good news on the medical conditions of DE Justin Tuck and WR Hakeem Nicks on Tuesday. Although the pair probably won't be on the practice field this week, as the team prepares for its Monday night home opener against the St. Louis Rams, both players remain optimistic they will be ready for the game.
Tuck (neck)says he will be ready to play on Monday and claims his injury is muscular and not disc-related. He said he is aware that you can't be too careful with neck injuries, but said it was just responding more slowly to treatment than he first expected.
The defensive end suffered a stinger in the preseason game against the New York Jets and sat out the opening game loss to the Washington Redskins.
"Honestly, talk to me right now, I don't see how I will not play on Monday," said Tuck. "And that's me. Obviously, you've got to go through the process of doctors, coaches, general manager owner and going through what's most important for me and what's most important for this football team."
Neck injuries are something to be nervous about in light of Peyton Mannings' surgery and, closer to home, the cervical disc herniation which kept defensive teammate Mathias Kiwanuka out of the final 13 games last year and threatened his football career.
Tuck could only watch Sunday as the depleted Giants defense was undressed, 28-14, by the Redskins.
"If I was given the choice, I would have played Sunday," said Tuck. "I understand, you don't want to go out and cost yourself a year, maybe a career, just trying to be tough and trying to go out there for your football team. Was it frustrating? Absolutely."
Things aren't so cut and dry for Nicks.
On the positive side, doctors are almost certain his injured knee is just a bone bruise. According to the New York Daily News, they will monitor the swelling, keep him out of practice and make a decision later in the week. If the inflammation doesn't subside, he could miss the game. Doctors added that it seems doubtful the speedster would miss more than that.
The Giants could definitely use both players. The Giants defense made Rex Grossman look sexy again and the offense had quarterback Eli Manning looking like well... the old Eli.
