14 DAY TRIAL // Earlier today, the highly anticipated video for Lady Gaga’s latest single, “Alejandro,” premiered, much to the delight of fans from all over the world. As we were also saying, because of the images included in it, the video has great potential of causing a controversy – and it would seem that Katy Perry is leading the attack on it, as AceShowbiz can confirm.
The video features Lady Gaga surrounded only by male dancers who, in certain scenes, wear fishnet stockings and high heels. In others, Gaga is dressed in a plastic outfit that resembles a nun’s outfit, while another shot sees her swallowing a rosary, to mention just two of the things that are potentially controversial. It’s precisely this use of religious imagery that got Katy Perry all hot under the collar.
“Katy Perry is rumored to have taken aim at Lady Gaga. The ‘I Kissed a Girl’ hitmaker sparked such speculation after writing on Twitter, ‘Using blasphemy as entertainment is as cheap as a comedian telling a fart joke.’ The fiancée of funnyman Russell Brand didn’t mention Gaga;s name on her post. However, people were quick to link the tweet to ‘Alejandro’ music video due to the fact that the newly-premiered clip features, among other Catholic imageries, a crucifix during a bed scene,” AceShowbiz writes.
Still, the e-zine says, if Perry is targeting Gaga, this would be a very clear case of pot calling the kettle black. “Aside from Katy Perry’s rumored jab at Lady GaGa, the two female singers actually have several things in common. [T]hey seem to have similar style when it comes to undergarments. Katy picks a pair of cannons that launch frosting to the camera for her bra in ‘California Gurls’ video, while Gaga opted for rifles to equip her own,” the report says.
Perry has remained mum on intensifying buzz that she dissed Gaga’s “Alejandro” video, as also has Gaga herself. Gossip blogger Perez Hilton, though, is convinced that the diss was real, saying on his Twitter that what is one’s blasphemy is another’s cannons shooting frosting, thus pointing out that one should never be so quick to judge others.
