Oh, Gagoncé: Until the day that the pop universe inevitably black-holes in one final blast of glitter, comet dust and tranny couture, these two can’t stop-won’t stop. Watch the new clip for their collaboration “Video Phone,” below:
It’s not so much a battle of the supernovas as a sort of Jupiter-and-an-orbiting-moon-in-a-white-bustier situation we’re having here; this is B’s show—La Gaga’s just guesting in it. (Though we’d love to see Gaga get a sammy for a co-star while she’s at it; homegirl is looking worryingly gaunt these days.)
I cannot tell a lie: Beyonce’s 8573 costume changes are delicious. Love the Bettie Page vibes; not mad at the Bond Girl monokini. Leather thigh-high garter boots? Casual Friday, I salute you!
But these two don’t look like friends, or even like they’re really having fun together. Too much ego? Too little time? Bad catering? Not sure, but it’s not quite the I Dream of Divas bonanza I was hoping for… However: I defer to you, readers—do your dream-cups runneth over?

this is a day late, EW. huffington post had this up yesterday. slacking?
In their defense, they were ALL far too busy devouring that Kris Allen cd yesterday…cause you know IT WAS THE ‘ONLY CD’ THAT APPARENTLY DROPPED YESTERDAY AMONST ONE OF THE BUSIEST SALES WEEK OF THE YEAR…..*cough cough*
…they were ALL far too busy posting 8 New Moon articles, too.
Phil, you’re embarrassing yourself.
Haha a track by track for Kris Allen was insane. I actually typed inane on accident and that probably would have been better. Because each track on Kris Allen’s album is sure to be revolutionary.
Fatima, whats even sadder for the Kris superfans is that iTunes technically pre-sold the cd since last May the week after Idol ended, and after a day of sales its just barely in the top 10 sales chart at #9. You of all people here know I love Michael, but that bloated love letter to the Idol winner (I dare almost refer to it as The Kris Allen Superfan Manifesto) yesterday isn’t helping Kris with sales really at all. I think everyone thinks my comments are bitter, but you have been coming here posting as long as I, and I am sure you agree EW.com and the mag has become a toxic waste dump for all things Idol, Twilight, MJ, and I hate to say it, lately…Gaga. (I love Gaga, and have from the get-go, but they need to slow her exposure a tad bit!) Its the delicate balance that the editors fail to realize is whats necessary to keep normal folks from wanting to do bodily harm to the superfans. If you oversature with too much exposure, the quicker the burn out. But try telling superfans that and they wanna rip your eyebrows off & don’t listen to a word you actually say.
@Phil: EW barely covered MJ before his death in June, and either way, HE’S MICHAEL freakin JACKSON! perhaps the greatest entertainer that has ever lived. he deserves all the hype b/c he lives up to it. his talent is undisputed.
I was referring to the POST-mortum MJ coverage, no one gave a crap about him before then, DUH!
This is godawful. Beyonce should be ashamed of herself. This is the worst single she’s ever released.
Yeah this is awful. This was actually my second attempt to watch this. I had to stop it the first time due to the vomiting!
I’m sorry Beyonce/Lady Gaga but this is just a hot-ass mess.
No it’s not. It’s a Beyonce vid. Gaga is just in it. In their defense, they’re voices really do sound good together. Now excuse me while I go watch the ‘Bad Romance’ video.
i seriously can’t stop watching Bad Romance..
Oh I don’t doubt their singing skills! The video’s just weird and random to me. Go ahead and watch “Bad Romance,” I’m not stopping you!
Will somebody please have the balls to tell Beyonce that she’s fat?
Um, what now?
Excuse me?!?!? Are you serious right now? You should be ashamed of yourself!!!! I would take Beyonce’s body with them curves any day!
not so sure about the video though… do like the costume changes, like you said leah
That’s just stupid.
Get your eyes examined!
LOL you’ve obviously been brainwashed by Kate Moss stick figure propaganda. Historically bodies like Beyonce’s have always been considered much more desirable. This obsession with girls that look like you could knock them over with a feather is a pretty recent phenomenon. As a girl, I think she’s ridiculously hot. I think some men are just intimidated by someone whose as powerful as she is and doesn’t look like they could be physically dominated. It’s a primitive reaction.
Totally agree. Finally someone says what we’re all thinking. All the tight corsets and ass pushing isn’t fooling anyone Beyonce.
She’s a cow.
All of the people defending her are probably outraged because they’re pleasantly plump as well.
It’s amazing what trick photography can do these days.
I hear she’s doing a Shakira cover on her next record but retitling it “Thighs Don’t Lie”.
Oh NO YOu DIDNT!!!!
Fat???? you seriously don’t know what a “true” woman’s body is!. She has curves and all the right things in the right places. Tired of the waif look, that’s for “closet” homos like you that want women to look like little boys w/no woman’s body features.
Actually, I wish someone would have the balls the tell Beyonce she looks like a tranny-mess in this video.
Yes agree with the Tranny Mess, but not the fat remarks are just plain stupid! Have you seen the single ladies video??? What fat person could do all those dance moves in heals!
Around the 1 minute mark, eventhough she’s been bouncing around in the black & white binki for almost 15 seconds by then, I feel as though B resembles Lisa Lopes (of TLC for the youngsters) & some of the crazy looks she used to sport. Anyone else see it?
Ugh, that was terrrrrrrrible!
here’s an idea: stop using the word “tranny” to try to sound cool. because you don’t. it’s offensive.
why is it offensive? They do look like tranvestis in this video.
In case you don’t know, those two are big drag culture icons now. I don’t think the two of them would find that offensive.
Everyone’s citing Bettie Page in this video but, based on the lyric, I thought Beyonce was sending up Katy Perry.
who let 2 drag queens do the video for this. i bet beyonce doesn’t know. ha!
Check out Lady Gaga Featuring Beyonce Telephone much better song, but i think its great 2 people of total opposites in music to collaborate.
Thanks for being nice. You made my day. Though as Gaga’s number one fan, I think I like the Video Phone song a little better.
i actually like lady gagas part better than beyonce’s. she’s always acting she the s*5t when she’s not. I like how lady gaga looks, guess thats just me though. But they look like they’re having fun to me. I dont know why its looks like they’re not to you.
Beyonce had Gaga on video and track only to make herself look better as usual and to ensure more cash going with latest trend of Gaga. She is the greediest of hoes, and Gaga soon following her. This is horrid song and never should have been single. Seriously Beyonce how many times must you re-release crap to make a dollar?
I’m a giant Beyonce fan, and while I like that this video is actually in color unlike her latest stuff, I don’t want her following this path. It was the worst song on the album and for the first time ever, I felt like Beyonce was being crass. I like that she’s getting a bit more creative, but I don’t want her to become a GaGa clone.
i agree. this video is corny and juvenille. i am a beyonce fan, but in this video she’s acting like a 3rd rate pussycat doll. beyonce can do much better.
Someone should tell Beyonce to stop dressing like a $5 hooker and boy she is starting to look really old.
i wonder what most of u look like that r talking the trash-better yet saying people look old-the only way to avoid getting older is 2die young, i hope u all are skinny supermodels and i hope the men on here r brad pitt quality 2 say u have so much s**to talk about others-wonder if u have any talent at all-freedom of speech is one thing-but2be a CRITIC u have2 accomplish something MODERATELY CLOSE to who u criticize, otherwise ur just a broke dum muMbling complaining ASS
Looks like the Gaga parts were filmed separately then edited in. That could be why there doesn’t seem to be much chemistry there…
