She's a real iron maiden: Lady Gaga shows fans her hard rocking side as she helps build her stage ahead of Born This Way Ball

She is well known for her outrageous fashion styles and elaborate, over-the-top stage performances.

But Lady Gaga showed that she is just as illustrious behind the scenes and off the camera, earlier today.

The 26-year-old tweeted her fans to some behind the scenes pictures as she literally prepared her stage at the Olympic Stadium in Seoul, South Korea.

The You and I singer is due to kick off her new world tour, Born This Way Ball 2012, this Friday and treated her million fans to a glimpse of what they can expect to see ahead of the show.Gaga was seen flexing her muscles while using an electric drill to secure some floor panels to the 70,000 seat stadium.
The star enjoyed getting her hands dirty and mixing with her crew and tweeted a message to her fans along with the pictures.

She said: 'I will do anything for my fans! Having fun with the stage crew guys, screwing on the runway. A Real Iron Maiden!'
Although Gaga was all smiles as she got her hands on some big tools, she chose not to wear any conventional overalls for her manual labor.
The multimillion pound selling artist stayed true to form in a pair of platform ankle boots which she teamed with a pair of fishnet tights.
She also wore a pair of black shorts with a matching sleeveless shirt and accessorised with a pair of fingerless leather gloves.

It seems having a hands on approach and paying close attention to detail payed off the star as she was over the moon with the final set up.

She said: 'So happy! The Stage is more than I could dream for, time to kill the dance floor. Off to rehearsal.'
It seems the native New Yorker took the weather with her, as the cloudy sky opened and rain fell as she arrived in the country, earlier this week.
Always one to look on the bright side of things Lady Gaga didn't let the downpour get her down and she reminisced about home.
She tweeted: 'Imagine when it's full. I love that it's raining, so NEW YORK of you Korea! Photos by @tarasavelo xoxo wee!'
While the sold out Olympic stadium is transformed into a castle, some locals have not been so keen on seeing Gaga perform.
Conservative Christians in South Korea have accused the singer of promoting pornogrpaphy and homosexuality.
Members of the group Alliance for Sound Culture in Sexuality put up posters, accusing Gaga of 'spreading unhealthy sexual culture' through 'lewd lyrics and performances', according to AFP.
The concert in Seoul has been given a rating of 18 by the Korea Media Rating Board.
Lady Gaga tweeted in repsonse at the time: 'Although not affecting ticket sales in Seoul, parents should be given more credit to determine what's good for their children. I love my fans. Thank u to all the adults in Korea who are speaking out for underaged who want to come to the BTW Ball. Maybe the gov. will change their mind.'

The Only Way is the chop! Lauren Goodger 'axed from reality show after showdown with bosses'

She was one of the original stars of The Only Way is Essex when it burst onto our screens in 2010.
But according to reports today, Lauren Goodger has been axed from the reality TV show after allegedly throwing her weight around.
After a showdown with bosses as the cast and crew filmed in a nightclub on Sunday, Lauren is believed to have been told that she will not be shooting any more scenes for the show this week.

Cryptic: Lauren took to her Twitter page soon after the row

According to the Sun, Lauren, 25, accused producers of treating her badly and said she was the real star of the show and threatened to leave and join MTV so she and her sister could become the British 'Kardashians'.
An insider told the paper that the beauty salon owner shouted at bosses and moaned that her scenes kept being pushed back.
They added: 'Bosses were livid as Lauren was already an hour late while the rest of the crew had been there all day filming Arg, Billi and Cara doing the marathon.'

And it seems that she was more than a little worse for wear, as the source said: 'The producer told Lauren she wouldn’t speak to her while she was in that state.'
The source added: 'The cast and crew have had enough of the way Lauren is acting. They have got to the point where they feel that if she wants to quit she should.
'Nobody is bigger than the show.'
Lauren's apparent departure is the latest slip for TOWIE, which missed out on a nod as the television BAFTA award nominations were announced yesterday.
She also wrote a couple of cryptic Tweets implying that she had fallen out with the bosses and wrote: 'Think about time spread my wings a lot things arising @NicolaGoodger @RiannaGoodger.

'Never been so angry in all my life! All I can say is what a shame.'
As a consequence of the row, Lauren will apparently not appear in tomorrow night's episode and will not film any more scenes until she has met with bosses to discuss her future.
The source added: 'She can’t scream at producers and turn up late and then say she is the star of the show.'

Lauren's representative was not able for comment last night.
Lauren is one of the only original members left on the show, as Mark Wright, Amy Childs and Kirk Norcross are among those who have left to pursue other ventures.
Recent departures have included those of Maria Fowler and Harry Derbidge.

Look away Rihanna! Chris Brown 'head over heels' for girlfriend Karrueche as they enjoy passionate kiss at sunset

Chris Brown's girlfriend is said to be embroiled in a war of words with his former flame Rihanna - and Karrueche appears to be having the final say.
Vietnamese model Karrueche Tran showed just how close the couple are as she posted a photo online of the pair passionately kissing last night.
The pair romantically locked lips in front of a romantic sunset on the beach in Australia.
Chris put his hands around her waist as Karrueche gripped his face with hers.
And if their feelings weren't obvious enough, Chris' lover added the words: 'Head over heels' alongside the image.
The pair are currently Down Under as Chris completes his concerts in the country.
They narrowly missed bumping into Rihanna, who flew out of Australia earlier this month after promoting her movie Battleship, just as they entered the country.

Rihanna, who split from Brown in 2009 following a domestic violence clash between the pair, is said to be in a war of words with Karrueche, who has been with Brown for a year.
The tension is said to have kicked off when Rihanna posted a photograph of a bag of rice cakes wearing sunglasses with gold earrings, and the caption, 'Ima a make u my b****.'
This has been widely perceived as a jibe at Tran, who of Vietnamese origin.
According to the New York Daily News, Rihanna and 22-year-old Brown are rumoured to have been 'seeing each other in secret.happy together, pictured here a few weeks ago However, the couple have both dismissed the persistent rumours that they are back together and the latest photo of Brown with Karrueche is sure to put that to bed.And last night the singer showed her metal in a long shiny silver dress as she stepped out to dinner in New York.
The lycra ensemble hugged her every curve and the singer teamed the bright dress with a light-coloured denim jacket.
While the singer took her hemline down for the evening she stepped out sporting a short cropped hair style, a different look to her long locks of last week.
Rihanna teamed the dress with a pair of black strappy sandals and a black bag as she headed to Silvano Restaurant in West Village.

The party-loving Rude Boy singer is set to live in the UK from May to July for a new Sky Living reality show, and according to The Sun she has told her team to locate a suitable pad.
A source told the newspaper: 'Although there may be occasional trips away, she'll be based here in London. Rihanna has instructed her team to find a mansion in or around the capital.'Rihanna will be in town searching for undiscovered fashion talent on the new TV show, working alongside designer Henry Holland and Girls Aloud star Nicola Roberts.

The singer is thought to have filmed two episodes earlier this year and is due to return next month.

Matching outfits, it must be serious! Kim Kardashian and Kanye West step out in his 'n' hers monochrome

It's getting hard to believe, as her sister Khloe contends, that Kim Kardashian's relationship with Kanye West is not serious.
For tonight the pair stepped out wearing the kind of coordinated couple's outfit that you'd only expect to see when a couple are well established.
Kim,31, donned an eye-catching black and white dress (which should've looked better than it did but strangely didn't work) while Kanye linked into this with a sweater in matching colours.

His 'n' hers: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West stepped out again tonight, this time wearing complementary monochrome outfits

It certainly made the fledgling couple look in sync, though the 34-year-old rapper found his loafers easier to walk in in than Kim did her obligatory Louboutin heels.
He led her protectively along the street as they headed to a dinner in Manhattan together.
Last night the College Dropout star joined the entire Kardashian clan for a high-profile event.
Kanye accompanied the whole family to the opening of Kourtney's boyfriend Scott Disick's restaurant where their every affectionate moment could be captured by the cameras.
The couple arrived together holding hands, their first public declaration that they are in a relationship together.

Keeping it in the family: Kourtney donned leather trousers like the ones Kim has been wearing

The action was to say the least a rather large sign that the singer is moving ahead with his relationship with the curvy star.
And it was no wonder he wanted to rush to his lady love's side.  
Kim stepped out for the event looking elegant in a black tight-fitting pencil skirt and matching halterneck top with frill detailing at the bib.
She paired the look with some black satin and perspex pointy stilettos, a black weave clutch and two gold cuffs on each of wrists.

Her boyfriend of a matter of two weeks appeared to be matching his outfit to his girlfriend's.
The Touch The Sky rapper looked dashing in a black tuxedo-style suit with a simple grey T-shirt worn underneath.

Khloe – who with husband Lamar Odom enjoyed a double-date with the fledgling couple in New York last weekend – revealed things between her older sibling and the Gold Digger rapper are only just getting off the ground.
Appearing on US show Watch What Happens Live, she said: 'I don't think it's serious. I think it's too soon. But because they've been friends for so long, it's just so easy and that's something I love seeing for Kim - the easiness and how happy she is. And it's just more of a great friendship and friendships make the best relationships.

Brothers in arms: Rob Kardashian and Scott Disick were along for the ride, of course

'We've known Kanye for like nine years. He's great with the family, but again we've known him for so long. It's not like some stranger getting into a hurricane.'

Kim married basketball star Kris Humphries last August but filed for divorce after just 72-days of marriage, and Khloe admits she didn’t have such a soft spot for the NBA star, who she says 'rubbed her the wrong way.'
She previously explained: 'When I met Kris the very first time, I had just landed in New York and it was late at night.

Dapper little fellow: Mason looked handsome in a fitted jacket and baker boy cap for his stroll with mommy and Aunty Kim

'One of the first things that came out of his mouth - like within the first five minutes - was, "So, how much you getting paid to fake your marriage? Like how long are you gonna keep this up for?" And I was like, "Okay, dude, I don't know if you're trying to make me laugh ..." But he just rubbed me the wrong way.

'So ever since then I had a very defensive wall brought up. I'm a very good judge of character, if I do say so myself.'
Earlier today Kim jetted back into New York after attending an event in Los Angeles last night.
She had flew into California for a few hours to attend the Jeep brand and USA Basketball announced partnership, which named the Jeep Wrangler the official vehicle of USA Basketball.

The singer has since rebooted her page on the microblogging site, although she is yet to post a new tweet.
