Beyonce appears in Lady Gaga video

LOS ANGELES, March 9 (UPI) -- Beyonce makes an appearance in "Telephone," the latest music video from fellow U.S. pop star Lady Gaga, Interscope Records said Tuesday.

The clip is to debut Thursday exclusively on TV's "E! News" broadcast. Ryan Seacrest will then interview Lady Gaga regarding the inspiration behind the song and video.

The video for the hit single is to make its online debut on VEVO.com and LadyGaga.com after it premieres on E!.

"What I like about it is it's a real true pop event," Lady Gaga said about the "Telephone" video in a February interview with KIIS-FM, Los Angeles, and E! host Seacrest. "When I was younger I was always excited when there was a big giant event happening in pop music and that's what I wanted this to be."

"Gritty, erotic and wildly fierce, this nine-minute, visually stunning, cinematic masterpiece features the inimitable Beyonce and is helmed by famed music video director Jonas Akerlund. Rich with Gaga's unique dance stylings, iconic costume design and unworldly hair and make-up -- this is far from your typical music video," Interscope said in a news release.
