Lady Gaga premiered her new music video for the song Telephone featuring Beyonce. In the short film directed and co-written by Paparazzi helmer Jonas Akerlund, Gaga plays a prison inmate who dances her way to freedom and calls her lover Beyonce to bail her out.

There are plenty of sapphic themes in the clip. Gaga makes out with a fellow prison inmate and flashes her snatch to prove she doesn’t have a penis.

Lady Gaga even shares a bite of Beyonce’s honey bun after she is rescued while they both ride together in their getaway car.

What does Jay-Z think about Beyonce sharing her honey bun with Lady Gaga?! What are you thoughts on the vid featuring a cameo from Tyrese?

Lady Gaga and Beyoncé’s anxiously awaited video for their The Fame Monster collaboration “Telephone” has arrived as a nine-minute-and-thirty-second mash-up of lesbian prison porn, campy sexploitation flicks and insidery winks at the two divas’ public personas. If Quentin Tarantino and Russ Meyer remade Thelma & Louise as an orgy of product placement with fiercely choreographed interludes, this would be the result. The video was scheduled to premiere on E! at 11:30 p.m. tonight, but hit the Internet early via a leak. Jonas Åkerlund, who previously helmed Gaga’s “Paparazzi” video, directed the clip.

T.I. is making his comeback with a new single called, “I’m Back”.

The self proclaimed “King” is jumping back on the scene with a clothing line and a movie career. The track can be downloaded on T.I.P’s official website.

T.I. took to the Internet to debut his new single, the appropriately-titled banger “I’m Back.” Coming in the wake of his release from jail (and on the heels of fellow high-profile MC Lil Wayne’s incarceration), “I’m Back” proves that Tip barely missed a beat while he was behind bars.

Over a powerful bounce beat care of TrackSlayerz (the latest homegrown talent from Tip’s Grand Hustle label), the King of the South spits a breathless four minutes of fire, declaring “No matter what they doing, they don’t do it like me.” The track also shouts out to fellow MCs Wayne, Gucci Maine and Lil Boosie, all of whom are currently serving prison sentences. The track is currently available for download at T.I.’s official Web site.

During a conference call just a few hours before the song premiered, Tip talked about his upcoming album (which remains untitled for now) and hinted at the possibility of a tour once his sentence was complete and he was out of a halfway house. He also pledged that he would get right back to the business of being one of the hottest rappers in the game. “As long as there is air in my esophagus, champ, I’mma keep going,” he said. “Nothing is gonna stop that. Nothing short of a 12 gauge is gonna stop me from doing what I do, champ. I just wanna say thank y’all and we gonna keep moving on.”

Iron Man 2 fans have a new trailer to watch featuring scenes from the upcoming blockbuster featuring Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johannson, Don Cheadle and Mickey Rourke as the new evil super villian. Can’t wait to see this flick!

Iron Man 2 trailer

Today’s Twitter Report is grande sized, mostly due to rampant expression of of opinion last night during the Academy Awards and immediately thereafter when the new “Iron Man 2″ trailer premiered on “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” The new glimpses at Mickey Rourke and War Machine may have cut into Jon Favreau’s party plans, but Damon Lindelof, Mark Waid and Dan Slott all stayed up to behold his hard work.

Meanwhile on Amazon.com, omnibus collections started showing up for flea market prices, and order cancellations have begun going out to customers like Ande Parks, who thought he caught a great deal on some “Daredevil” hardcovers he appeared in. Head on down past the jump, and you’ll also find out who Oscar attendee Neil Gaiman may have offered his daughter’s Archie comics to, what Pia Guerra thought of Kristin Stewart’s presentation last night and who hated to see Bea Arthur go unremembered.

It’s all in the Twitter Report for March 8th, 2010.

“Iron Man 2″ trailer pt. 1: @Jon_Favreau Instead of party hopping on Oscar night I’m home tweeting links to a trailer premiere. Welcome to the new Hollywood.

Precious won big at last night’s Independent Spirit Awards. The drama directed by Lee Daniels swept numerous categories including Best Director, Screenplay, Actress and Supporting Actress. Congrats to all of the winners and nominees.

We’re cheering for everyone to win big at the Oscars!

The harrowing drama “Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire” was the big winner Friday evening at the Film Independent Spirit Awards, which was held in a tent on L.A. Live’s event deck in downtown Los Angeles.

The film about a pregnant African American teenager and her abusive mother won best feature, best director for Lee Daniels, best first screenplay for Geoffrey Fletcher, best female lead for Gabourey Sidibe and best supporting female for Mo’Nique.

Daniels basked in his win away from his fellow Oscar nominees. “Kathryn Bigelow’s not here tonight,” he said. “I am.”

“Precious” is nominated for Academy Awards in many of the same categories, with Mo’Nique considered the odds-on favorite to receive best supporting actress Sunday evening at the Kodak Theatre.

Mo’Nique’s acceptance speech wasn’t as emotional as some of her other winning speeches this awards season, but she did take a special moment to acknowledge her co-star Sidibe, telling her, “You are a special gift to the universe, baby.”

Presenter Ben Stiller, noting the ceremony’s late hour and the independent nature of the assembled crowd, brought half-naked porn stars onstage to writhe in sexual positions while he read the nominees for best film.

On Friday, best male lead went to Oscar nominee Jeff Bridges for his moving performance as a dissolute country singer in “Crazy Heart.” The role has won Bridges numerous awards this season, including honors from the Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild.

Bridges gave a rambling speech in which he thanked many people and told the crowd, ” ‘Crazy Heart’ is a gem of an independent film.”

“Crazy Heart,” directed by Scott Cooper, also won the Spirit prize for best first feature. Robert Duvall, who came to the stage with Cooper, told the crowd that the latter hadn’t directed so much as a high school play before this film. “But,” Duvall added, “he does a great job.”

Woody Harrelson, also an Oscar contender, won for supporting male for “The Messenger.”

Screenplay honors went to Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber for “(500) Days of Summer.” Roger Deakins received the cinematography award for “A Serious Man.”

“An Education” won best foreign film, and “Anvil! The Story of Anvil” took documentary honors.

The John Cassavetes Award for best feature made under $500,000 went to Lynn Shelton, the writer-director-producer of “Humpday.” Kyle Patrick Alvarez, director of “Easier With Practice,” received the Acura Someone to Watch Award. Bill and Turner Ross, directors of the documentary “45365,” received the Chaz & Roger Ebert Truer Than Fiction Award. And Karin Chien, producer of “The Exploding Girl” and “Santa Mesa,” received the Piaget Producers Award.

The third annual Robert Altman Award, which is given to a film’s director, casting director and ensemble cast, went to Joel and Ethan Coen’s “A Serious Man.”
