Next week Lady Gaga will premiere a Federico Fellini-esque music video for her new single "Judas," a song that has predictably rankled Catholic groups with its hard-edged appropriation of the biblical story of Jesus' betrayer as a metaphor for falling for the wrong man. In the video, which she co-directed with Canadian choreographer Laurieann Gibson, Gaga will star as the prostitute Mary Magdalene leading a motorcycle gang of apostles on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem.
In a brief and slightly philosophical phone interview with MSN before her concert at the Bell Centre in Montreal on Monday, the singer insisted the video is an affirmation of faith, not a challenge to it. The subject of faith will also be a major theme on her third album, "Born This Way," which she says is now finished and ready for its May 23rd release date, and her forthcoming tour to support it.
