Beyoncé and Lady Gaga Have a Blast in 'Video Phone'

Originally posted 11/17/2009 10:00AM



Trust us: Beyoncé and Lady Gaga will make you wish you owned a video phone.

The longtime pop-tune heavyweight and the latest hot thing on a microphone have joined musical forces for the frenetically-paced "Video Phone," which premiered on MTV and VH1 at midnight on Tuesday.


The gun-wielding pair take on paps, voyeurs and camera-headed guys in suits (no, really) as they make apparent nods to Betty Page and the wartime flag of Japan. Take a look-see and find out for yourself.

The other woman at the center of the Kanye West Video Music Awards shout-out scandal is finally speaking out.

Beyoncé Knowles, whose loss to Taylor Swift in the Best Female Video category prompted West to storm the stage and steal the microphone from Swift at the Sept. 13 ceremony, says she understands the rapper's motivation.

"Well, I knew his intentions, and I knew he was standing up for art; and he told me before, when they said the nominees, he's like, 'You have this award,'" she told O: The Oprah Magazine editor-at-large Gayle King.

Taylor Swift Wins Best Female Video – Upsetting Kanye West

Originally posted 09/13/2009 09:00PM

In true VMA form, the MTV awards show did not stick to the script.

The first winner of the night, Taylor Swift for best female video, was victim to this when she was rudely and quickly interrupted by Kanye West, who cut off her acceptance speech. He stole the microphone to announce that fellow nominee Beyoncé had "one of the greatest videos of all time," in "Single Ladies."

"I was standing on stage and I was really excited because I'd just won the award and then I was really excited because Kanye West was on stage," Swift recalled after the show. "And then I wasn't excited anymore after that."


For her part, Beyoncé appeared shocked by the outburst and the crowd booed the rapper. Off-camera, when West returned to his seat, audience members gave a still-stunned Swift (who was ushered off the stage before finishing her speech) a standing ovation.

Beyoncé Debuts 'Sweet Dreams' Video

Originally posted 07/09/2009 01:30PM


Sasha Fierce strikes again! In her latest video for the single, "Sweet Dreams,” Beyoncé sashays and moves her body for a glitzy, hip-shaking four-minute clip. And it's just not one Beyoncé. The singer, 27, is multiplied as she dances across the screen before morphing into a gold-armored robot (she even dons golden finger wave curls!) making sure her fans won't want to wake up from this dream.
