L *ady Gaga *and *Vince Vaughn *made plunges into the icy waters of Chicago's Lake Michigan at a Special Olympics fundraiser.

Special Olympics Chicago president *Casey Hogan *said the superstar singer did the plunge at the weekend with more than 4500 other participants. Hogan says the singer's appearance was "a very nice surprise".

Gaga recently announced her engagement to Chicago Fire actor *Taylor Kinney *. The couple went into the water together.

Vaughn, a native of the Chicago suburb Lake Forest, was dressed in a Chicago Blackhawks jersey and jeans. The actor went in up to his knees, then eased himself down backwards into the water.

Last year comedian *Jimmy Fallon *jumped in wearing a suit and tie, and helped raise more than $1 million.
