LADY GAGA’ ‘BAD ROMANCE’ STAR BUSTED IN PANTYHOSE RAID: Lady Gaga’s gold-chinned male muse in her “Bad Romance” video allegedly tried to steal a bunch of women’s underthings, but got caught, TMZ reports. Law enforcement sources said Slovenian actor Yuri Bradac was arrested for shoplifting earlier this month in the San Fernando Valley after mall employees told cops they caught him trying to walk out with pantyhose and other underwear items. He was detained by Macy’s personnel, who told cops they saw Bradac try to steal 3 items worth $29.50 each and when they nabbed him they also found stolen perfume from Victoria’s Secret. Bradac claims he had merely stepped outside with the lingerie to look for his wife and says it’s all a misunderstanding.
