Lady Gaga, who is known for her controversial image and sometimes lack of clothing, has come over all shy, according to reports.

The singer has contacted all her exes to stop them releasing old photos and videos of her, The Sun reports.

"She's contacted exes, childhood friends and workmates to buy the copyright to any old pictures and footage to make sure that nothing else surfaces," a source said to the paper.

Meanwhile, Lady Gaga is putting the finishing touches to her forthcoming album 'Born This Way', set for release next year.

The singer is currently on her Monster Ball world tour and will return to London next month to play the O2 Arena.
