In the recent radio interviews, she gave a brief description of the video. She said that it takes place in a Russian Bath House that is all all white tile (floor to ceiling). Also, the storyline involves her becoming a victim of human trafficking. Sounds interesting...

Would be nice to see GaGa addressing one of the most serious issues of the 21st century.
I don't know if this has already been said or mentioned, but, apparently, Fame Monster sales will count towards total sales of The Fame.

"Billboard has many guidelines about the merging of so-called special edition albums with their original parent albums. Generally speaking, two or more versions of an album will not be merged if the title of the special edition version is substantially different from the original. For Lady Gaga's 'The Fame' and 'The Fame Monster,' we feel that the change was in line with what we've allowed in the past (a la Rihanna's 'Good Girl Gone Bad' and 'Good Girl Gone Bad Reloaded').
"Additionally, for our chart purposes, there is no limit as to how many audio tracks or songs can be added to an original album, as long as the additional audio content does not extend beyond one additional CD (or digital equivalent) and the content of the standard edition remains intact.
"Thus, the reissue of Lady Gaga's 'The Fame' in a deluxe version ('The Fame Monster') with additional songs will have its sales combined with the original 'Fame' album. The same goes for the 'Platinum Edition' of Taylor Swift's 'Fearless'."

But wasn't the rule that the extra material must not exceed 33% of the original in order for the sales to be combined ? I mean that's the rule the last time I saw it.

Yeah I don't know where that came from, but apparently there are no rules and it's decided on a case-by-case basis.

Not scared, I just think that's a cheap way of getting big record sales. What? She didn't have good enough material to do it the first time around with her original material? She's essentially releasing a new album, it should count on it's lonesome.
