We’ve all done it.  We claim that we are the best of friends, but the truth is that we are all guilty.  We sit and listen to our friends complain about their breakups, lend a shoulder to cry on, and then offer consoling words:  “You can do so much better” or “he’s the one missing out, not you.”  The sob-fest concludes and what do we do?

We immediately call our other friends to vent about just how annoying it is that Jill still isn’t over Jack.  After all, their break up was three months ago!  Can’t she just get a grip?!  We vow to never act so desperate, and we wouldn’t of course, because our breakups happened around the same and we are so, totally over our ex.

But wait, are we really?  Before we throw Jill down the hill for holding on too long, maybe we should read the signs to see if we aren’t exactly “over” our ex’s either:

By now everyone with a radio knows about Jason Derulo. Not only do those DJs play his songs more often than Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance.” (Read: Every. Other. Minute.), but homeboy really loves to sing his own name. Like, a lot.

But this is one artist whose songs I actually want to hear every ten minutes. And “Whatcha Say” and “In My Head” are just the start. Derulo’s self-titled album, which came out last week, is a Must-Know-About. It is so good I can’t even express how good it is in words. I listened to the album THREE times in a row on a recent flight to Los Angeles (helloooooo SPRING BREAK) and I’m pretty sure the woman sitting next to me was not enjoying my 5-hour dance sesh in my window seat.

Lady Gaga’s video for Bad Romance is hard to forget and impossible to top. Or is it? A few kids armed with a video camera and a little too much time on their hands (thanks to an extended winter break, I presume) remade the legendary video in all its weird and creepy glory. And, damn, they did it well.

Sure, the wardrobe budget was a little tighter in this home video (they replaced Alexander McQueen with a Walmart shopping bag), but even Gaga gave them props for their dedication to the original masterpiece.

Who knew a guy could make such a good Gaga?

We tip our hat to thee, Bad-Romance-Video-Kids. Way to use your time well instead of lying on the couch watching Law and Order: SVU marathons like the rest of us.

If you’ve ever wondered what an acid trip was like, Lady Gaga’s latest music video seems like a pretty close match. Seriously, this thing is freaking me out. It’s like Girl Talk mashed up a Gaga song and a drug-fueled mini-porn… then threw in a little couture fashion product placement (Burberry jacket, Alexander McQueen shoes, Chanel sunglasses…) for a little extra cash on the side.

I’m really not sure what’s going on here, but I do know that the person behind this 5 minutes of freakiness is on something illegal. And it’s really, really good ish.

I mean, no sane and sober person could come up with a bear-skin dress…or Gaga shooting a corpse with her left breast. God, those are words I never thought I’d string together in a single sentence.

Just watch and you’ll understand the madness. Well, not the madness but at least you’ll see what I’m talkin’ about.
