Lady Gaga emailed me today to tell me about the release of her “The Edge of Glory” music video. I wasn’t expecting it — there was no hype, really — and then suddenly here’s Lady Gaga in this video! I wonder if they just ran out of of money and were like, “Listen Stef, I’m sorry, but just put on this outfit (from the late Gianni Versace’s last collection, according to World Renowned Stylist Sara Medd) and be brillant.”

The set instantly brings me back to Michael Jackson’s “Black & White.” It’s just Lady Gaga, dancing. Like they used to do in the ’80s/’90s before music videos had plots and shit. I was wondering if something was gonna happen and then I realized, nope, the only thing that’s gonna occur is this dude’s saxophone solo. I was expecting Paula Abdul to jump out at any moment.

If you wanna know what my recurring Gaga dreams are like, its basically like this. Except I follow her into her bedroom at the end, duh.
