On location at Lady Gaga's latest video shoot!


I just returned from Lady Gaga's latest video shoot, and people, you are all in for a lovely and unique new winter hit!  Security was tight at the Hollywood video shoot and unfortunately my camera and phone were both left at the front booth with a very muscular and stern looking police officer.  I was only allowed access to one area of the shoot and was politely escorted away after only twenty minutes, but I can honestly tell you that everything I heard and saw was truly amazing.  The name of the song is "Poodles & Push-Pops".  It features guest appearances by David Bowie and Ice Cube and the lyrics have something to do with feeding ice cream to dogs.  Lady Gaga looked amazing in her Kool-Aid Man outfit and the sets and stunts were unbelievable!  It looks as though they had a billion dollar budget to work with!  I witnessed a piano filled with dolphin skulls drop from a thirty foot ledge onto a group of pilgrims who were shooting at Native Americans as a wolf purchased a sanitary napkin from a machine in front of a public ladies restroom.   I was told that I had to leave the set before they shot the scene in which Ice Cube and David Bowie were to feed ice cream to a starving child dressed as a dog while The Kool Aid Man (Lady Gaga) played the accordian and wept.  Oh Fiddlesticks!  How I wish I could have seen more of this genius at work.  I am filled with so much anticipation for the release of this new single and video that I am incapable of caring for anything else right now.  I have a feeling this is going to be bigger than the "Thriller" video and I am forever in debt to the truly lovely Lady Gaga for allowing me to witness history being made.
