Okay, so not many celebs excite me all that much truthfully...

I have been apartment hunting in NYC with Janet Jackson, stood there while a tipsy Drew Barrymore dropped her wine glass and it shattered among our feet in LA, joked with Will Smith on both coasts, etc., etc., etc...

But, there are rare moments when something excites and entertains

Enter Beyonce and Lady Gaga.





I love Beyonce's post-Ghetto fab gum-chewing and Gaga's Marilyn-meets-Sylvester soul.

These are two pop stars who get it. They play with image, attitude, sexuality and fame with a seriousness in execution, but always with a wink in meaning.

Many people are criticizing Bey for supposedly jacking Rihanna's style (the sharp blond swoop).

Whatevs.

Gaga says she wanted to pay homage to Beyonce and this is why she is dressed like her, hair down and flowing and she is singing like her if you listen to the vocals.

This video is visually striking (thanks to veteran music director Hype Williams) and just plain fun.

P.S. Beyonce, we see you swiped Leomi's (of "America's Best Dance Crew" group Vogue Evolution) signature back and forth head swag. It's okay though. ;)
