Just weeks after releasing her nineand-a-half-minute “Telephone” music video, Lady Gaga is already on to the next.

The pop star is said to have enlisted fashion photographer Steven Klein to direct the video for “Alejandro,” the upcoming third single off her 2009 album, “The Fame Monster.” Known primarily for his celebrity and editorial work for French and Italian Vogue, Details and W magazine (including the Madonna shoots and the July 2005 issue featuring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie as a Sixties family), Klein has dabbled in video in recent years, directing a handful of commercials and short fashion fi lms and collaborating with Madonna on the background videos for her 2004 and 2006 concert tours.

While the choice of Klein is a departure for Gaga, who has opted for music-video vets such as Jonas Akerlund (“Telephone” and “Paparazzi”) and Francis Lawrence (“Bad Romance”) in the past, it makes a certain sense — “Alejandro” is about a tumultuous breakup and Klein is great at depicting sexual tension — just ask Brangelina.

I know Steven Klein (one of my favorites fashion photographers) will do totally justice to the Alejandro video. I know GaGa is unstoppable but I just have a question:

Does GaGa will release so quickly a new single and video just because the tension of the media about her Telephone video and the controversy?
I hope GaGa never sell her tongue because a voice like hers is what we want to listen to.
Anyway I can't wait for the video.... (I would like MONSTER as the new single) but this Latin rendition is what we need after seeing the Arizona Holocaust.
