It was a known fact that Billboard’s Woman of the Year, Beyonce, was prepping to release a new single from her latest studio album, I Am… Sasha Fierce. But now rumors have hit the blogosphere that Bey will team with none other than Lady Gaga for a remix of the Bangladesh-produced, Sean Garrett-penned track, “Video Phone.”
“On Oct. 7, Lady Gaga and Beyoncé were working on the video together at a studio in NYC,” an insider reveals exclusively to Life & Style. “Everything on the set was being kept very hush-hush, and security was extremely tight.”
“In the video,” says the insider, “Beyoncé wears a feathered dress. And of course Lady Gaga wears something wild. The fashion is sick and insane.” [SOURCE]
Beyonce is also set to release two DVD’s in November. One is I Am… Yours (released November 24th), the hotly anticipated taping of her live tour, as well as a 2-disc documentary, titled Beyond the Ballad. Lady Gaga, who is preparing to headline a new U.S. tour this fall, is also rereleasing her debut album, The Fame Monster, which will also hit stores on the 24th of November.
This should be interesting. Both artists are known for their showmanship and are at their peaks. This collaboration will be monumental.

Lady Gaga and Kanye West’s ‘Fame Kills‘ tour is anticipated as the hottest tour this year and will definitely be the place to be in certain cities. Lady Gaga recently spoke about the tour concept:
“The storyline is that Kanye is on one end of the stage and I’m on the other, and the whole show, we are trying to get to where each other is,” she said.
“I want something that he has, which is the fame, and he wants something that I have, which is home, and my humble beginnings. So we battle each other throughout the entire performance to steal each other’s spaces… So I’m essentially on a quest to kill Kanye West to steal his fame.” [SOURCE]
