Florence Welch’s Dream Director

Florence WelchFlorence Welch says having David LaChapelle direct her new video was a dream come true.

The Florence + The Machine singer is a lifelong fan of the acclaimed artist, director and photographer and had "fantasized" from the minute she wrote "Spectrum" that he would work with her on the promotional film to accompany the track.

"It was a complete dream to work with David LaChapelle. I collected his books as a teenager, and I fantasized that he would direct the video for 'Spectrum' from the moment the song was written. I still cant believe it actually happened, and I'm completely overjoyed that he felt such a connection with the song," said Florence, who appears in the video as an Egyptian queen presiding over a troupe of ballerinas.

The admiration is mutual as David - who co-directed the video with John Byrne - hailed the track as a "modern classic" that allowed him to create a visual spectacular.

VIDEO: Lady Gaga Gets Revenge in Marry the Night

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Music Videos, Videos, Pop,

Revenge, for Lady Gaga, is a dish best-served stylishly.

In her latest music video off of Born This Way, "Marry the Night" tells the tale of how her initial record label -- Def Jam -- dropped her after only 3 months and of her subsequent "breakdown" and recovery. Of course, in this Gaga-directed video full of Cheerio love, Black Swan nods, and general craziness, reality can't hold a candle to Gaga's world. After all, as she states in the video, "It's not that I've been dishonest. It's just that I loathe reality."

Is it too much, or does it leave you wanting more?

Lady Gaga Splits From Creative Director

Lady Gaga and Lauriann GibsonStylish pop singer Lady Gaga has split with long-time creative director Laurieann Gibson. The pair have been working together since before the "Bad Romance" singer's rise to fame, but reportedly parted ways following a number of creative differences in the last year.

Laurieann has previously admitted working on Gaga's "Judas" video, which has strong religious references, including crosses and the death of Jesus, made her feel uneasy. "At one point, there was two completely different views and after the third glass of wine, I was like, 'Listen, I don't want lightning to strike me. I believe in the Gospel and I'm not going there.'"

Tensions continued to rise between them, with differences on the set of Gaga's "You and I" video, and their creative relationship finally ended in the last few weeks.

A representative confirmed the split, but declined to give any more information.

Actor Diego Luna stars alongside Katy Perry in her latest music video, "One That Got Away." Directed by Floria Sigismondi, the video cuts back-and-forth in time as an elderly Perry reflects upon a lost love from her younger years.

Cutting back on the colorful costumes, makeup, and hair, the music video plays more like a short film, complete with Johnny Cash's "You Are My Sunshine" at the end.
