GLAM OR SHAM?: Lady Gaga and Beyonce's "Telephone" Video

This video gave me life. Directed by Lady Gaga and Jonas Akerlund, it was full of surprises: catfights in the yard, a diner full of Bey and Gaga's poisoned victims (hey, you have to kill your no-good boyfriend, Tyrese, AND the witnesses...love it!), a lesbian kiss, dance sequences in bikinis, Gaga's body parts and a glorious getaway in the Pussy Wagon.

Not to mention the fashions which included soda can rollers, a telephone made of weave, smoking cigarette sunglasses, McQueen-adillos, denim cutoff panties, a leopard print catsuit, those amazing Jean-Charles de Castelbajac pieces, Chanel shades and more!

And even with all that, the very best part of the video is Bey's bad word. Can you believe Lady Gaga got Beyonce (whom she affectionately calls 'Honey Bee') to curse? Even Bey was surprised at herself. I love it!

Check out the highly-anticipated 10-minute mini-movie below and tell me what you think! Naysayers say Bad Romance is better, or that the video is too violent, too lewd (i.e. lesbianism), etc.

My two cents: It's some kind of wonderful. Gaga is revolutionizing the current drab state of videos, the same way she did fashion. And I love her for it.

FIRST LOOK! Lady Gaga Rocks a Telephone Weave and Soda Can Rollers in New Video

A structured hat made of telephones? A telephone made of weave? Silver soda cans worn as rollers?

Either we're on an Acid trip, or eyeing the latest fashions from Lady Gaga.

The oddly brilliant style star has done it again with her upcoming video, Telephone, featuring Beyonce and debuting this Thursday, March 11th.

Gaga's inventive, radical approach to style is truly one-of-a-kind. She's odd, daring and brilliant in her fashion and beauty choices---which is exactly what safe style stars need to jolt them back to creativity.

Take a look at her ubercreative, innovative and otherworldly looks for the Telephone video (I wish I could rock the soda can roller look walking around in the Village...it's brilliant!). Whoever believes fashion isn't art needs to spend a day in Lady Gaga's closet! Oh god, I could dress up in her clothes all day.

Speaking of dressing up in Gaga's gear, Beyonce stepped her fashion game up for the video in a to-die-for jacket and pumps from Jean-Charles de Castelbajac's Spring 2010 line. Check out Bey's pic and the runway shots of both pieces. I live!

What do you think of the fashions?
