The music video for Lady Gaga's "Telephone," featuring a fierce Beyoncé, a somewhat nude Gaga and directed by Jonas Akerlund), has premiered amid great hype.
It might even live up to it.
As she told Ryan Seacrest on his radio show just last month, "What I like about it is, it's a real true pop event. 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."
Pretty bold praise for her own work, but "Telephone" definitely has the feel of - in typical Lady Gaga fashion - a performance art piece, rather than a mere video.

And the intellectual property rollercoaster continues. Microsoft's second appeal of that $240m judgment banning sales of Word with features infringing on i4i's XML-related patents has been rejected, leaving the Redmond giant with a huge fine to pay atop its undoubtedly sky-high lawyer bills. The appeals court held that Microsoft was explicitly aware of i4i's patents before implementing the relevant XML code into Word -- undoubtedly because i4i had been selling an extremely popular XML plugin for years and had approached Microsoft about licensing it. Yeah, oops. Don't worry, though, there shouldn't be any consumer impact here: old versions of Word aren't affected, and current versions of Word 2007 and Office 2010 don't have the offending features. Still, Microsoft might be able to appeal yet again, depending on a panel ruling on the matter -- at this rate, we'd expect it.

Audiences may have already given Alice in Wonderland over $116 million of their cold, hard cash but that doesn’t mean they don’t want to spend more time inside Tim Burton’s wildly imaginative world. As such, the Johnny Depp-starrer is all-but-guaranteed the number one spot for the second weekend in a row. Not Matt Damon as a military operative in Iraq in Green Zone nor Robert Pattinson brooding without vampire make-up in Remember Me will keep Alice in Wonderland from topping the frame yet again. Also opening this weekend is Dreamworks’ She’s Out of My League and Fox Searchlight’s romantic comedy Our Family Wedding. Read on for how the weekend will pan out.
