Lady Gaga and Beyonce Knowles' long-awaited video for "Telephone" came out yesterday, and it's filled with all the wacky costumes, interesting makeup styles and dancing we've come to expect. We've got the full length vid below, so tell us what you think of the almost 10-minute end product—bring it on or little too long?
Jay-Z took the stage in NYC last night for a concert at Madison Square Garden. Beyonce was there to cheer her man on and she accompanied him afterwards to the official afterparty at his 40/40 club. Also turning out for Jay-Z's show was his travel buddy LeBron James, Gwyneth Paltrow and Lil Wayne, who's actually supposed to report to jail today for his weapons conviction after having his sentence postponed due to a dental emergency. Lil Wayne even went onstage to perform alongside Young Jeezy and Drake, while LeBron's appearance at MSG had some Knicks fans hoping he'll leave Cleveland for the Big Apple.
Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z sat courtside in Dallas last night to watch the Mavericks take on and defeat the LA Lakers. The two are wrapping up a sweet week together, which kicked off with a relaxing few days on a yacht in Miami. Jay also performed in the Texas city on Tuesday night, with his loving wife cheering him on from the audience. The two are more and more open with their love these days, but they're still keeping their senses of humour at hand when they want to play it coy—like Jay saying it was all him who invented the "Single Ladies" dance. 7539097
Beyonce Knowles wore a body-hugging LRD to launch her new fragrance, Heat, in NYC last night. The superstar still has that Grammy glow after her six wins, posing with her sister Solange, who also played DJ and party goer Usher. Beyonce's pretty hair didn't have any extra sparkle, but she was the evening's shining star nonetheless. 7270902
The Grammy Awards took over LA's Shrine Auditorium Sunday night, with many of music's biggest stars heading in from the red carpet to see who took home gold. Kicking off the show was a performance from Lady Gaga, which featured a special duet with Elton John in special Gaga-esque makeup and glasses. Beyonce Knowles wasn't able to accept her statue for Song of the Year, which she won for "Single Ladies," since she was getting ready to take the stage and sing a cover of Alanis Morissette's "You Oughta Know"—watch it here. Ryan Seacrest was soon up to introduce Miss Swift, who joined legendary Stevie Nicks for a rendition of "Rhiannon." Britney stuck close to Jason Trawick all night long. One of the ceremony's cutest moments was when Rihanna and Jay-Z brought up his nephew, Solange Knowles's son Julez, onstage to accept for "Run This Town," though he politely answered "no thanks" when asked if he wanted to say anything to the crowd—check out all the winners! Fergie and the Black Eyed Peas were together for an energetic mix of their recent hits, but it was the Michael Jackson tribute that took things to another level. Lionel Richie introduced a group of artists including Usher, Celine Dion and Carrie Underwood to sing Michael's "Earth Song." The piece was interestingly broadcast in 3-D, though they were back to regular 2-D when Michael's kids Paris and Prince came out to accept an honourary award on behalf of their father. Another touching moment came when Mary J. Blige and Andrea Bocelli performed "Bridge Over Troubled Water" as a tribute to the people of Haiti. It was Beyonce herself who won the Best Female Pop Performance, and she adorably thanked her husband Jay-Z in the front row, even breaking from their usual super-private strategy saying, "I love you!" The biggest honour of the night went to Taylor Swift with her Album of the Year award, making it a pretty sweet night for the star after also winning Country Album of the Year. Afterward she stepped back to the press room to chat about her big wins! 7246626
