No, not Beyonce. REAL transsexuals.

I hear Gaga's people were at Alannah Starr's transsexual party earlier this evening, rounding up girls to be in the lady's video, shooting in NYC next week.

I know Michael Musto is an acquired taste, but the Beyoncé comment is beyond awesome.

Well as soon as everyone reads your opinion I'm sure her career will come to a dead halt.

Because grown-ups are mostly bitter and never any fun at parties.

Let's hope that these are accurate portrayals of transsexuals, not gay male drag queens or part-time crossdressers. Not that I have an issue with either group but they are the ones who tend to get the attention and are erroenously portrayed as TSs. A portrayal of a TS should be about the same as a portrayal of a man or a woman. The problem is that it doesn't make television, music, etc. as interesting to people.

Too lazy to look up Alannah Starr right?  Been around the NYC scene much?  But why worry?  Certainly the video will be all about the proper decorum, respect, and modesty that Gaga has demonstrated up to this point in her career.

Perhaps because knowing all of that just gives more reason to worry?

I dislike Lady Gaga, and this video is bad news.

This actually thrills me. Actually watching her videos and listening to the lyrics, there's more there than ear worm songs. Don't start dissing on me for being a fan or anything, I just can't wait to see how she does this.
