Glam pop singer Lady Gaga on Monday announced 31 U.S. concert dates as her fans went wild for a controversial new music video that features R&B star Beyonce and lesbian prison sex.

Meanwhile, Lady Gaga’s latest music video — a 10 minute mini-film to accompany her single “Telephone” — had racked up more than 15.5 million views on YouTube by Monday after its release late on Thursday night.

The video, which starts in a leather-clad fantasy women’s prison and later has Lady Gaga and Beyonce poisoning customers in a diner, was also among the top hottest topics on Twitter.

The 23 year-old singer has boosted her career, as well as record sales that now total around 10 million albums worldwide, with daring stunts including setting her piano alight at the American Music Awards and having fake blood drip from her rib cage in a 2009 live performance. [Reuters/NYTimes]
