Lady Gaga Crazy Cool Coachella Crib
If you've ever wondered how Coachella headliners crash during the festival, Lady Gaga's $12 million Mediterranean desert rental gives you a good idea -- they crash just fine.
Gaga, who took over Beyonce's headlining slot, lived it up in a 7 bedroom 5 bath home in Rancho Mirage courtesy of Airbnb during the fest's back-to-back weekends. The place is huge ... 9,500 square feet! Kinda like having a full resort just for yourself.
Along with a pool and spa, the crib had a fitness room, 2 formal living rooms, an outdoor dining gazebo and 3 fire pits -- it gets cold in the desert at night.
If you thought $900 for a VIP ticket to the fest was stiff, Gaga's pad would set the average person back $10k per night!
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Lil Uzi Vert I Dropped $220k to Put Marilyn Manson Around My Neck
Lil Uzi Vert is officially the biggest Marilyn Manson fan ... unless you know of any others who spent six figures to make an iced out pendant in his likeness.
Uzi was rocking his newest piece at Coachella this weekend. The image of Manson rockin' Mickey Mouse ears is damn near priceless -- the chain and pendant together are made up of 16,000 diamonds totaling 155 carats.
Celeb jeweler Ben Baller delivered the goods to Uzi on Sunday, and IF & Co. Jewelers made it for $220k. We're told the labor alone cost $50,000.
Manson is the only person Uzi follows on IG, so his love for the rocker is deep ... and expensive.
Drake Blasts Coachella Country Club for Racial Profiling (UPDATE)
7:15 AM PT -- For some reason, Drake deleted his Instagram post calling out The Madison Club. Of course, he has nearly 36 million followers, many of whom are already ripping the club, so the damage might be done.
Drake's pissed about his weekend at Coachella because he claims the exclusive country club where he stayed racially profiles customers.
Drizzy -- who made a guest appearance with Future at the music festival -- made it known Sunday that the folks at The Madison Club were awful hosts. The rapper straight-up called it "the most offensive place I have ever stayed at in my life."
He also said the staff picks and chooses who they're going to accommodate based on racial profiling.
Drake's post has generated nearly 5,000 comments -- including one from the club itself which said, "We are trying to get this issue fixed as soon as possible. Customer satisfaction is our number one priority and for you to experience such a thing is embarrassing for us."
The club went on to say, "We are very sorry for the inconvenience and we will be issuing out a formal apology to you and the public. We will also be investigating this as we do not tolerate racial discrimination."

Kendall Jenner Passes On the Joint At Coachella Pot After-Party
Kendall Jenner loves to party, but she'll pass on the dutchie ... at least that's what she did during a Coachella weed after-party this weekend.
Eyewitnesses tell us Kendall attended the "Weedmaps Oasis" marijuana party after Coachella closed its final curtain Saturday night, but did not take one puff of pot herself.
We're told Kendall arrived at around midnight with an entourage of 9 -- including Hailey Baldwin and A$AP Rocky, who was performing that night alongside Tyler the Creator, Action Bronson and others. And while nearly everyone around her indulged in bud, sources say Kendall made it clear she wouldn't be joining.
Instead, Kendall simply enjoyed herself -- dancing with friends, snapping selfies with guests, chatting up the crowd and snagging A$AP's yellow goggles off his head.
We're told she was totally pleasant, despite damn near everyone around toking up on products from Gen-X, West Coast Cure, Brass Knuckles, Nameless Genetics and FlavRX. Sources say the main product of choice was pre-rolled joints from said companies ... produced by Talent Resources.
It appears Kendall ain't a fan of the ganja -- in public, anyway -- even if her man A$AP is. We're told he was smoking ... a lot.
Good news is she wasn't alone in her abstinence ... Hailey Baldwin didn't smoke either. Still ... we're guessing they couldn't avoid a contact high.
