It looks like Beyonce is holding Gaga hostage after stealing her mojo. M.I.A must be tied up off screen.
The quick-cut overlapping video technique is actually sort of interesting. The downside is that this is Hype Williams, so he'll probably reuse the idea for his next 500 videos (as he did with the fisheye lens). #ladygaga
I agree with whoever that hipster was that opened the video. Beyonce doesn't try. She dresses up, dances/poses with nonsensical props and lip syncs her songs.
The dance with lady gaga was cute, especially since gaga is getting better at it. But the song, and vid are pretty meh but I'm sure I'll think differently when I'm loaded this weekend. #ladygaga
The entire Video Phone video leaked last night. If you search for it on YouTube and then sort the results by picking "Newest," you'll probably be able to find one that hasn't been deleted yet.
I thought the video was kind of meh, but the dance break with Beyonce and Gaga was pretty hot. #ladygaga
You know, when a totally shit-faced, drunken 93 pound lady wrestles with an incredibly large man who's perhaps holding her arms, that's still 93 pounds of weight flying around. More than enough to bruise her tiny asian arms.
I'm going to suggest that she had a large part in doing this to herself. Much like I do every time I get hammered and bruise my legs on a bedframe. #ladygaga
@AngriestGeek: Well, violence towards women generally takes a more obvious form. Chris Brown v. Rhianna comes to mind. How come she didn't get hit anywhere else? It just seems like 'drunk bruises' to me. #ladygaga
@Pope John Peeps II: I agree that the bruises themselves don't prove that he abused her and aren't inconsistent with his story that he grabbed her to keep her from hurting herself while she was drunk. The drunk and little bruise easily, as I've learned from the personal experience of being both drunk and little at the same time. #ladygaga
I liked GaGa's old nose better - it made her more interesting.
Regardless, I am so there for this video.
"It's the perennial conundrum of ostentatiously "unique" vapid people: an insatiable desire to express oneself, but no dust bunnies worth expressing in one's empty little head."
@NoelleBlue: I do appreciate that while yeah, she seems to have had a little bridge work done, it's still aquiline and prominent and not a 'pop star' nose. I think it's still interesting. #ladygaga
@eleusiswalks: Oh, I agree, she doesn't look bad by any means! but I find sculpted noses boring. And that now perfectly straight bridge is just so... structurally tidy. Feh. #ladygaga
@Tara Incognita @KentuckyBabe @Understater: Yessss, I am actually solidly confident on this one. Before making this statement I did a great deal of google image searching. I'd noticed it on recent interviews, but wanted to make sure, since there's always push-back when someone points out celebrity plastic surgery.
Google Image "Lady Gaga Poker Face", and pay attention to all pictures of her straight on, both candid and polished. Look at those, and then look back at the still, or watch the video. Also, try 'Lady Gaga Wetten Dass" video on Youtube, versus any older video.
Airbrushed makeup and lighting is a beautiful thing, but it doesn't create sharper edges were there weren't any. Her schnozz was always a bit soft, especially at the bottom. Now the planes are razor sharp on the side.
I hold firm with my claim! Nor is it something negative, I think of it like commenting on an outfit. It really is what celebrities do, more often than not.
Ugh, all that means is that Dina and Michael Lohan were in on the recording together. They need to be put in a cage with the Gosselins and Joe Jackson and floated out to sea. I don't even care if the cage is buoyant. #lindsaylohan
@DahlELama: Both in on it, and probably concocted the Ledger story as yet another way to put pressure on Lindsay so she'll sign over her estate Britney-style. #lindsaylohan
To say "They are not part of the series," though, is a bit murky. If Jackson's kids were not going to appear in any capacity, why didn't A&E say exactly that and end the speculation? "Not part of" could mean that they're not ~officially~ listed in the cast; it could mean that they weren't involved in any production decisions; it could mean anything, really.
To be fair, I believe they filmed most of this before MJ's death. A&E had been filming the Jackson brothers for a while, but Michael didn't participate. (I'd speculate it was yet another move on the family's part to built up buzz and momentum for a reunion tour, which MJ never seemed interested in.)
Sounds like A&E took that material and tacked on footage of the funeral, footage of the family coping with MJ's death, etc.
It's not clear if they actually interview the kids or even feature them outside of the funeral footage (I hope not). So I'd say the tackiness level here is TBD.

She actually stole that line from Louie Anderson. #ladygaga

But, if he cheated and this is your passive aggressive way of getting back at him, well played.
