Lady Gaga and Beyonce are in the new music video called “Telephone.” The video debuted last Thursday night and has been an Internet sensation ever since. However, it sizzles because it is pure crazy, and includes some Lady Gaga fashion that some like while others believe is weird.

“Lady Gaga has been a very bad girl. The video is gonna be epic,” Beyonce said in a statement.

Beyonce is in the video clip and runs 9 minutes in length. It was directed by Jonas Akerlund. Akerlund is best known for directing Madonna’s “Ray of Light” and Christina Aguilera’s “Beautiful” videos.

“There was this really amazing quality in ‘Paparazzi,’ where it kind of had this pure pop music quality, but at the same time it was a little bit of commentary on fame culture,” Lady Gaga said in a statement. “I wanted to do the same thing with this video – take a decidedly pop song, which on the surface has a quite shallow meaning, and turn it into something deeper.”

It opens with Beyonce bailing Gaga out of a jail populated by some weird characters. After a dance number, Lady Gaga and Beyonce set off on a killing spree through the desert. It ends with a teaser suggesting that a part two might be in the making.

Living The Simple Famous Life Without Luxury

Lady Gaga has shrugged off assumptions, she’s been living a life of luxury since shooting to fame, insisting she has very few personal possessions. The entertainer has been music’s biggest score of the last year. Her debut album, “The Fame,” has sold more than 10 million copies since 2008.

However, the singer is adamant she’s not been spending her hard-earned cash on material things. She said she was practically money-broke for years and doesn’t need luxury. She always considered herself very vain and glamorous.

“I can’t even drive a car. I don’t have a driver’s license. I have a rented apartment in York. That’s it. When I travel, I have almost all of my possessions with me. That’s how little I own.”

Little Monsters

Lady Gaga calls her fans “little monsters” and on Saturday night thousands of them will fill the Auckland’s Vector Arena for her first headline tour in New Zealand. Outrageous outfits are her trademark and with 16 costume changes planned for the sell-out show, Lady Gaga shouldn’t disappoint in the style stakes. Fans were already lining up at the door 24 hours prior to the concert.
