The previously shelved "Do What U Want" music video — directed by Terry "Wrecking Ball" Richardson and starring R. Kelly — has been making the media rounds. Page Six gets a vicious dig in via an unnamed source, "With the theme, ‘I’m going to do whatever I want with your body’? It was literally an ad for rape."
Yikes. TMZ has a snippet if you care to see... There's a lot of writhing.
Lady Gaga "It is late because, just like with the Applause video unfortunately, I was given a week to plan and execute it. It is very devastating for someone like me, I devote every moment of my life to creating fantasies for you.

Those who have betrayed me gravely mismanaged my time and health and left me on my own to damage control any problems that ensued as a result."
Although R. Kelly has lately been resurrected as a sort of national treasure, he's still an acquired taste that leans decidedly NSFW — so its questionable whether Nabisco marketing execs are celebrating this high profile look for Oreos?
