Lady Gaga makes some calls

Lady Gaga’s new video (featuring Beyonce) for the song Telephone debuted last night.

Overall, I like!  There were hits and misses, obviously, and I can only hope that the acting between Gaga and Beyonce was that cardboard on purpose (Beyonce can kind of act, right?) but otherwise, it was ok.  The clear highlight of the video:

I could watch that all day.  A few more highlights after the jump.

Lady Gaga being escorted into prison by a few of the Real Housewives of Orange County.  They’ve never looked better!

I’m not supposed to use the word “fierce” any more, but these cigarette glasses are FIERCE.  Burning up…literally!

Nepotism is alive and well.  At first I thought this was Lady Gaga playing a dual roll, but it’s actually her 19 year old sister.  It’s a family affair!

And now a word from our sponsors.  Seriously, did this video have a dedicated ad sales team because I haven’t seen such blatant product placement in a video in a LONG TIME.  It was alarmingly distracting.

The look on Gaga’s face here.  The line she delivers right before this is “You know what they say. Once you kill a cow, you gotta make a burger.” In her mind she’s all like “BURGERRRRRRRRRRRR” Bitch is hungry.

Tyrese…..what happened to him?  Is he purposely channeling Bobby Brown?

You will see clip on telephone hair on the streets of Chinatown as soon as next week.

Blink and you’ll miss it cameo by Semi Precious Weapons front man Justin Tranter.

Remember this guy?  His agent deserves a big bonus.  How in gay hell did he end up in this video?

Just because.  Just because.

And finally, I feel like this is a cross between Grey Gardens and Death Becomes Her and I love it.  The end.
