Lady Gaga is currently in the midst of the Australian leg of her massive Monster Ball tour — with scheduled stops in Japan and Europe — and, as you probably know by now, she's also putting the finishing touches on the much-anticipated "Telephone" video, too.

But neither of those things are standing in the way of yet another ambitious endeavor, a planned 3-D concert and subsequent DVD.

	Lady Gaga Stuns At U.K. Tour Debut

On Monday (March 8), MTV News spoke to a rep for her label, Interscope Records, who told us that "there are talks about a 3-D concert and DVD in the near future." No other information — including just how a 3-D concert would manifest — was available at press time.

Late last week, Gaga fan sites began speculating about plans for a 3-D DVD, but this is the first time a concert has been mentioned. In December, Gaga released a deluxe edition of her Fame Monster album, which included a pair of 3-D glasses that she mysteriously explained would come in handy "for things happening soon."

In the meantime, her Little Monsters are gearing up for the debut of the "Telephone" video — the follow-up to her striking "Bad Romance" clip — which, after weeks of teasing from Gaga herself and some last-minute editing, is scheduled to premiere Thursday at 11:30 p.m. ET on E! News.

'I would ask her how dangerous is it to wear some of those outfits,' Ne-Yo says when asked what he'd call Gaga about.

In honor of Lady Gaga's "Telephone" music video premiere on Thursday, MTV News got celebrities to weigh in on what they would ask Gaga about on a phone call, if they could ask about anything in the world. So, this week we will be rolling out their burning questions for the pop princess. And stay tuned to MTV News for more on the "Telephone" video.

Ne-Yo is a dapper guy. So when he was asked what he would call Lady Gaga about, not surprisingly he chose a fashion topic.

"I would call her and ask her how dangerous is it to wear some of those outfits she wears," Ne-Yo confessed to MTV News about Gaga's eccentric sense of style. "I saw her with this thing ... it had, like, spikes on it and it was like a big ball. I was like, 'If you turn wrong and that thing smacks you in the face, like, that could probably be really bad for you!' "

So is Ne-Yo, known for his more gentleman-like sense of style, going to start dressing like Gaga?

"Probably not," he said. "No, spikes aren't very gentlemanly. Plus, I'm clumsy!"

The treatment for the "Telephone" video, which also features Beyoncé, reportedly finds B breaking Gaga out of prison for what has been described as a Quentin Tarantino-inspired clip that even features the truck that Uma Thurman's character drove in Tarantino's "Kill Bill." When Gaga and Beyoncé collaborated on B's "Video Phone" clip, there were visual nods to Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs."

"I feel so bad for the 'Bad Romance' video 'cause the 'Telephone' video's so much better," Gaga told Phoenix's KISS-FM last month. "[Beyoncé is] really a great friend of mine. We have a lot of fun working together. We're so very different in our approaches, but somehow when we come together it's really magical. I'm very excited for everyone to see the video."

Attention, Monsters: Lady Gaga is set to premiere her "Telephone" video, which of course features Beyoncé, on Thursday. After teasing her fans last week with a photo of herself (barely dressed) from the video, it was announced on Sunday (March 7) during E! News' broadcast of the Oscars red carpet that Gaga will premiere the hotly anticipated clip Thursday at 11:30 p.m. ET on E! News.

Lady Gaga's official Web site announced that more details about the premiere will be made public Monday morning. The video, which is reportedly shy of 10 minutes long, was shot in California in February and was directed by "Paparazzi" director Jonas Aklerlund. The clip features collaborator Beyoncé as well as Gaga's pals Semi Precious Weapons.

Gaga, who appears in the video in a number of characteristic getups (including phones on her head, said the video picks up where "Paparazzi" left off. "What I like about it is it's a real true pop event," she told Phoenix's 104.7 KISS FM last month. "And when I was younger, I was always excited when there was a big giant event happening in pop music and that's what I wanted this to be."

In the video, Beyoncé reportedly breaks Gaga out of prison for what has been described as a Tarantino-inspired clip that even features the truck that Uma Thurman's character drove in Tarantino's "Kill Bill." When Gaga and Beyoncé collaborated on B's "Video Phone" clip, there were visual nods to Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs."

"I feel so bad for the 'Bad Romance' video 'cause the 'Telephone' video's so much better," Gaga said. "[Beyoncé is] really a great friend of mine. We have a lot of fun working together. We're so very different in our approaches, but somehow when we come together it's really magical. I'm very excited for everyone to see the video."

Pop star discusses her past, fame and fashion with the New York Times.
By Joel Hanek

As she melds her pop music with performance pieces, Lady Gaga has managed to cultivate a sense of authority in art and fashion that goes beyond her enigmatic nebula of glamour and wigs. She did her best to maintain that authority, while also getting very personal, in an interview with the New York Times, fulfilling her new promotional duties for the M.A.C. AIDS fund and Viva Glam.

"It's hard knowing who to trust with your personal life," Lady Gaga revealed to fashion reporter Horacio Silva in a piece that will run in this weekend's T magazine. "When you cry in your room at night, you don't always know who to call. So I am very close to my family."

The singer also touched on betrayal and the need to move on from elements of her past life, including drug use. "I left [my past] behind because I had to," she said. "For many reasons, like drugs. It's no secret that I have had problems with drugs in the past. And some places represent to me things in terms of my mental and physical health, so you learn to move on, to preserve what your mission in life is, and my greater mission is my fans."

Lady Gaga has consistently used the concept of fame as a motif in her art and music. "I believe in the glamorous life and I live one," she said. However, the artist also expressed her distaste in "celebrities" and explained how she tries to challenge the paradigm of fame with her fans. "I think I have changed the way they look at and devour fame. It's something that tastes a little too sweet but is not so difficult to swallow."

After discussing her "spiritual guide," the interview highlighted another unique thing about Gaga: She refers to herself in the third person.

"I talk about myself in the third person all the time. I don't live my life in the way someone like you does," Lady Gaga explained. "I live my life completely serving only my work and my fans. And that way, I have to think about not what is best for my vagina but what is best for my fans and for me artistically."

'I don't have any friends in the music business,' singer said on British talk show 'Friday Night With Jonathan Ross.'

Donning a hat with a telephone perched upon it and performing her single "Telephone" from a British-style payphone box, Lady Gaga appeared on an episode of the British talk show "Friday Night With Jonathan Ross." On the show, which is scheduled to air later this week, she'll dish on her love life, her role as a celebrity and her late friend Alexander McQueen.

"He was the kindest human being. I feel left with nobody to inspire me any more," she said of McQueen, who committed suicide last month. Not only were they friends, he designed many of her looks, including the lobster claw heels in her "Bad Romance" video.

Gaga admitted that she has very few friends in the entertainment industry, noting that when she attended the Brit Awards last month, where she paid tribute to McQueen, "I didn't speak to anyone at the Brits." She added that she feels disconnected from the industry. "I'm an outcast from the music industry," she explained. "I don't have any friends in the music business."

As for her outlandish appearance, she said she wouldn't have it any other way. "I would rather die than have my fans not see me in a pair of high heels. I'd never give up my wigs and hats for anything. You see legendary people taking out their trash. I think it's destroying show business," she said. "I feel completely detached from the celebrity world. You never see me falling out of nightclubs. Be whatever you want to be, it's not about emulating me ... it's all right to be different."

And in case anyone was wondering if Gaga is seeing anyone these days, the answer is no. She said that right now her only relationship is with her career. "I don't have time to get to know anybody. I'm single and alone ... nobody would put up with my craziness."

In addition to "Telephone," the BBC reports that she also sang "Brown Eyes" from The Fame. And Gaga shared her love for everybody British. "There is no greater lady than the queen," she said of meeting her last year. "People in Britain are the ones who've really been my friends."

'RING RING it's coming little monsters,' Gaga tweeted on Thursday about the premiere of 'Telephone' video with Beyonce.

Lady Gaga took to her Twitter account on Thursday (March 4) to tease her fans about the forthcoming release of her hotly anticipated "Telephone" music video with Beyoncé. Although there have been many rumors about exactly when the video might premiere, Gaga simply said it's on its way. She tweeted earlier this week that the clip was still being edited and she wants it to be "perfect."

She tweeted "RING RING its coming little monsters" along with a link to a photo of her in a prison-like room, wearing nothing more than crime-scene tape placed in all the right places and some deep-red lipstick.

She also tweeted the good news about the song itself, which is Gaga's latest #1 hit. "LITTLE MONSTERS!! Today is an exciting day. Telephone become our SIXTH NUMBER 1 RECORD IN A ROW IN AMERICA! I love you so much! Celebrate!"

The photo's prison setting would work with the rumored story line for the video. Reportedly Beyoncé, who is featured on the track, breaks Gaga out of prison for what is expected to be a Tarantino-inspired clip that even features the truck that Uma Thurman's Bride drove in Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill."

While fellow video co-stars Semi Precious Weapons have described the chemistry between Beyoncé and Gaga as "magical"; B herself said the ladies got "crazy" on the California set of the Jonas Åkerlund-directed clip.

Gaga, who appears in the video in a number of characteristic get-ups (including phones on her head), shared that the video picks up where "Paparazzi" left off. "What I like about it is it's a real true pop event," she said. "And when I was younger, I was always excited when there was a big giant event happening in pop music and that's what I wanted this to be."

'Most important is my connection with my fans and the connection that they breed with one another,' singer said at Viva Glam charity event in London.

Lady Gaga has never been shy about her adoring loyalty to her fans, whom she calls her "little monsters." And despite her off-the-wall getups and sometimes provocative lyrics, she wants to make sure she's still someone they can look up to.

"I find it so important now to be a role model and a figure. And I know that may sound strange to some people, but most important is my connection with my fans and the connection that they breed with one another," she told reporters at the Viva Glam charity launch in London on Monday. She's a spokesperson for the MAC AIDS Fund's campaign, which donates 100 percent of its proceeds from the sale of lipstick and lip gloss to the global fight against AIDS and HIV.

Gaga is currently in the U.K. for her epic Monster Ball Tour, to which she recently added more dates, and she compared playing shows there to her native New York City. "London is not always an easy crowd, and I remember because I used to open for so many people here. I always found solace when I went to the gay clubs because they were always wild and dancing, and they really loved and enjoyed me.

"But the O2 was something I've never experienced before," she added about her stop in London. "Everybody was dancing and screaming and on their feet the whole show. It was really remarkable. I look out into the audience and I hear them singing my music and supporting me and I want to do everything I can to protect them because some of them are really troubled and insecure."

Lady Gaga loves her overseas little monsters so much, she decided to add more dates to the European jaunt of her Monster Ball Tour. The tour was scheduled to wrap March 8 in the UK before picking up in Australia for a number of dates. But Gaga will head back to Europe in May for 10 new dates, as well as two rescheduled dates.

It was also announced that Gaga will embark on her first major arena tour when she returns to North America this June, hitting 30 cities. More info is coming soon.

	Lady Gaga Stuns At U.K. Tour Kickoff

Gaga will be on the road with glam-rock band Semi Precious Weapons, who recently spoke to MTV News about what it's like to the opening act for the woman who was once their opening act at club gigs in New York.

"When we met her, we were doing shows here bringing, like, 300 people or so, and we were looking for bands to open for us," bassist Cole Whittle recalled. "They were all boring, but she was fun and partied, and her and [Gaga's performing partner] Lady Starlight had a really cool show. We were like, 'I'd much rather see this than some hipster band.' "

So they opted to do the future pop star a favor and have her join them for their shows. Despite the fact that she was playing to very small crowds, she was beyond thankful for the spot.

"She was big fans of ours before we met her. She was so grateful to be playing with us, 'cause she loved us so much," singer Justin Tranter said. "She was like, 'I've never seen so many people! Thank you so much for letting me open.' It's obviously a little different now. Them tables have turned! [Back then,] it was still the most awesome thing we'd ever seen. It's still the most awesome show we ever saw. She's always been the coolest girl!"

New European dates for Monster Ball Tour:

»May 7 - Stockholm, Sweden @ Globe Arena
»May 10 - Hamburg, Germany @ Color Line Arena
»May 11 - Berlin, Germany @ O2 Arena
»May 15 - Arnhem, Netherlands @ Gelredome
»May 17 - Antwerp, Belgium @ Sportspaleis
»May 21 - Paris, France @ Bercy

»May 28 - Birmingham, UK @ LG Arena
»May 30 - London, UK @ O2 Arena

The "Telephone" video is coming! The "Telephone" video is coming!

Lady Gaga took to her Twitter to let her little monsters know that the much-anticipated "Telephone" video is on its way. Although no date was announced, she did say that the video, shot last month in California and directed by Jonas Åkerlund, is currently being edited.

"Telephone is coming I promise! Still editing. I want it to be perfect," she tweeted. "The Haus has dubbed her a 'masterpiece.' "

While co-stars Beyoncé (who also worked with Gaga on "Video Phone") and Semi Precious Weapons have been singing the video's praises, Gaga recently gave her fans some hints as to what they can expect from the clip.

"It was really amazing," she told Johnjay and Rich on Phoenix's 104.7 KISS FM last month, according to Rapup.com. "Beyoncé's incredible and I had a lot of time with her, so I was able to put her in quite a bit of the video."

She added that this video is a sequel to her "Paparazzi" video, which was also shot by Åkerlund. "I feel so bad for the 'Bad Romance' video 'cause the 'Telephone' video's so much better," she said. "[Beyoncé's] really a great friend of mine. We have a lot of fun working together. We're so very different in our approaches, but somehow when we come together it's really magical. I'm very excited for everyone to see the video.

"What I like about it is it's a real true pop event," she added. "And when I was younger, I was always excited when there was a big giant event happening in pop music and that's what I wanted this to be."

Lady Gaga joined forces with Cyndi Lauper last spring to take colorful, fun photos for the MAC AIDS Fund's Viva Glam campaign, which donates 100 percent of the proceeds from the sale of lipstick and lip gloss to the global fight against AIDS and HIV. The behind-the-scenes photos from the shoot will be featured in the new issue of V magazine which hits newsstands next month.

	MAC 'Viva Glam' Photo Shoot

In the issue, Gaga appears nearly nude in a makeup chair as she preps herself to pose with Lauper in photos that were shot by famed photographer Ellen von Unwerth, who also shot Rihanna for her Rated R cover. "It's quite awkward to be talking about my passion about the AIDS crisis and the gay community while doing my makeup but ... Viva Glam!" Gaga says in the issue.

One photo shows Lauper in a giant, poofy platinum-blond wig blowing kisses, and both Lauper and Gaga appear in another photo in satin robes goofing around in front of a giant makeup mirror. "When MAC started it was a place where people who were highly creative and didn't fit in could feel comfortable working," the pop star says. "And that's still the attitude. We can be incredibly creative and feel like we're making a difference."

MTV News caught up with the ladies earlier this month as they promoted the campaign. Gaga said that she feels these lipsticks are a way for women to empower themselves.

"We want women to feel strong and feel strong enough that they can remember to protect themselves. To have this lipstick as a reminder in your purse, that when your man is laying naked in bed, you go into the bathroom, you put your lipstick on, and you bring a condom out with you," Gaga said. "There are no exceptions. ... This idea of negotiation before intercourse is this kind of ridiculous thing in the age that we're living in. I would say never, but you must be in a loving, monogamous relationship or married. We're not in an age when you can have irresponsible, condom-less sex."
