‘Hip’ Gaga’s ‘haute’ wheels

Fresh off hip-replacement surgery, Lady Gaga has traded up her 24-karat-gold wheelchair for a custom-made Louis Vuitton model.

She was spotted on her new leather ride — complete with the designer’s trademarked initials — celebrating her 27th birthday in Chicago on Thursday. The “Born This Way” singer and her boyfriend, “Zero Dark Thirty” actor Taylor Kinney, started out at Richard’s Bar before heading to Polekatz Gentlemen’s Club.

Gaga and Kinney enjoyed a make-out session — then stopped by McDonald’s for a late-night snack. The two were previously caught celebrating a romantic, early-birthday dinner at Spiaggia in Chicago on Tuesday.
