 
 Lady Gaga's Twitter account was hacked yesterday (December 19), it has been reported.
The singer's personal account was targeted by hackers just as she was preparing for a promotional trip to Tokyo.
The hackers posted a fake competition for Apple iPad 2 tablets, which were later taken down.
After getting her Twitter back Lady Gaga wrote: "Phew. The hacking is over! And just in time, I'm on my way to Japan! So excited to spend Xmastime with my TokyoMonsters!"
In another message, she added: "Ready for redwine and 12 hrs of napping. Is it weird I like flying because I can sleep and my t-t-telephone has no service? #stopcallin wee!"

The singer topped the poll with 30% of the vote, followed by Britney Spears (29%) and Justin Bieber (21%) as the most overrated music acts of 2011.
