It's the Sunday Comics

MTV.com -- Lady Gaga released her video for Telephone this past week and the the entire internet has re-posted it. Lady told MTV that the video is more about Beyonce and changing "what a visual product can be". That product? The mega-pop star, Bee, herself.

MTV says that Beyonce "fit in perfectly with the homages to the campy "Batman" series of the 1960s, Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill," Japanese manga, Salvador Dalí and Madonna that made the "Telephone" video an epic pop-culture adventure."

I said this blog is not about celebrities wearing stuff, but I have to do it. I have to talk about this video. Lady Gaga, your club kid music annoys me to no end. I swear if I hear "Poker Face" one more time, I'm going to run to the corner of whatever room I'm in, curl into a ball while covering my ears and just cry.

That said, you got me. I have wrote about you wearing Jean Castelbajac's Muppet creations, but that was a "story" assigned to me by my editor. This, however is my blog and I want dwell in the sheer awesomeness that is the Haus of Gaga. Smoking cigarette glasses, telephone hair, trashy soda can hair accessories, the actual P*ssy Wagon from "Kill Bill"--- I long for a styling job that allows no holds barred, crazy-ass costume design. You've done it. I can't ignore you any longer.

See the video on MTV.com

REHAB: I SAID CLOTHES, CLOTHES CLOTHES!

WWD -Now on to celebrities making clothes. Amy Winehouse is pairing with British tennis player turned clothing maker, Fred Perry to create a fashion line.

Apparently, she thinks her vomit and beer stained dresses are coveted among the masses.

Why do actors and musicians who've wrecked their careers with substance abuse think that fashion is the next logical step? Lindsay Lohan went on to Emmanuel Ungaro (and then left), Chris Brown was cozying up to Gaultier and now this?

Is it that you think the fashion world is vapid and stupid enough to receive you? Vapid, maybe. Stupid, no. The business end knows what kind of publicity they will stir up for their brand. Geez, have none of you seen "The Devil Wears Prada?" Fashion invites you in, sadly, to watch you fall.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

THERE'S POO ON YOUR SHOE

High Snobette- A London-based artist and designer made a stiletto out of hardened elephant dookey.

You may remember when I covered moose crap necklaces on this blog. I simply don't understand the fascination playing with animal waste. Is this supposed to give us some sort of shock reaction? Because it doesn't. Toddlers have been known to pick up a dried dog turd while frolicking in their back yards. Does that make them artists?

Not only are the shoes made from sh*t, they look like they are made from, well, sh*t. I don't know what's worse: the undigested vegetable matter or the neon print fabric. Gross.

BANANA INNUENDO

Ecouterre- AussieBum, an Australian underwear maker has manufactured men's underwear made up of 27 percent banana fiber. They say if they added a higher concentration of banana, the underwear would be "squishy."

All of the good jokes were covered in the original article such as giving "banana hammock a whole new meaning" and "G’day mate, is that a banana you’ve got down undah or are you just happy to see us?" and, " they don’t actually smell like bananas, so you won’t have to fend off snack-happy monkeys from your nethers" and last "We’d still keep our eyes peeled, though, if we were you."

I've got nothing.

BREAKING NEWS: TERRY IS A PERV

Huffington Post: Model Jamie Peck says in an interview that Terry Richardson, famed "fashion" photographer whipped it out and "waggled" it during a photo shoot.

Yes, that's because he's Terry Richardson.

Expecting Terry not to show his junk at a photo shoot is like assuming that Amy Winehouse won't pass out on stage, or that Lady Gaga will wear khakis and a button down or that artists will stop using bodily functions to pass off as art.

I think I would be slightly disappointed if I worked with Terry and he didn't give me an autographed self portrait of his sac. Thats a collectors item right there.
