Go Apeshit

'Guerrillas in the Basement' is a festival of underground theatre brought to you by Dublin-based collective Independent Youth Theatre.

The festival kicks off tomorrow and will see a total of five productions performed over two weekends. The festival will feature three brand new plays ('Delusional Butterfly', 'OMG, A, Like, Totally Improvised Teen Drama' and 'Wait! They Don't Love You Like I Love You') as well as productions of Tom Swift's 'X Factory' and Jean Paul Sartre's 'Huis Clos' (starring yours truly).



Full list of times and dates of performances can be found here. E-mail iytinfo@gmail.com for bookings or more info.

When B Met G...

The video has surfaced for the first of two collaborations between arguably the two biggest female popstars on the planet: Beyoncé and Lady Gaga. 'Videophone' is a Beyoncé track that has been re-swizzed to feature a guest vocal from Gaga.

Honestly, I don't think much of the song but the ladies are looking decidedly foxy in the video, with Ms Knowles channeling Betty Paige and Gaga looking disconcertingly normal, giving her outlandish ensembles a rest and allowing her dance moves take centre-stage:



It's a pretty safe bet to say Team Beyoncé were calling the shots on this one. Personally, I'm more interested to see what visual accompaniment the Haus of Gaga come up with for the confusingly similarly-titled 'Telephone', which features Beyoncé in a guest-spot originally intend for Britney.

If it's anything approaching the extravagance of the 'Bad Romance' video, it'll be a popgasm for the annals.
