Lady Gaga and Beyonce Team Up for "Video Phone" Video

Lady Gaga will reportedly appear in the new video for Beyoncé's "Video Phone," a spokesperson for director Hype Williams confirmed to MTV. Rumors were circulating this week that Gaga was at the Greenpoint, Brooklyn, shoot for the video, even though Gaga herself doesn't appear on the I Am... Sasha Fierce track. However, Life and Style reports that a new version of the song with Beyoncé and Gaga trading verses will feature in the video.

Check out Lady Gaga's wildest wardrobe moments.

Not much is known about the video, which was reportedly shot October 7th, but a source tells Life and Style that "the fashion is sick and insane." And even though the shoot was for "Video Phone," no video phones or cameras were allowed on the closed set, MTV reports. The video will also have "lots of choreography" and "more dancers than the two girls [Beyoncé is] always with."

The confirmation that Gaga and Beyoncé will appear together in a video comes just over a month after the two singers provided perhaps the most memorable performances at this year's MTV Video Music Awards. The pair were also the most nominated VMA artists in 2009, scoring nine nods apiece.

News of the "Video Phone" collabo comes just days after it was confirmed that Lady Gaga would appear on an upcoming episode of Gossip Girl. As Rolling Stone reported this morning, following the death of the Fame Kills tour, Lady Gaga announced that she'll embark on her own Monster Ball trek in late November.

“All Along the Watchtower”

The Jimi Hendrix Experience | 1968

Jimi Hendrix got hold of Bob Dylan's early John Wesley Harding tapes and in late 1967 recorded a version of "All Along the Watchtower" with the Experience in London. Dissatisfied with that first development, Hendrix brought those tapes with him to New York in early 1968 when he began work on Electric Ladyland. Eddie Kramer, Hendrix's engineer at the time, told Rolling Stone that Hendrix "was still looked upon by his basically white audience as the mammoth black guitar hero. There was a constant fight within him to expand himself." Hendrix's successful take on Dylan's work has long been recognized by the songwriter. "I liked Jimi Hendrix's record of this and ever since he died I've been doing it that way," Dylan wrote in the liner notes to his Biograph box set. "Strange how when I sing it, I always feel it's a tribute to him in some kind of way."
