Is it just us, or have far too many of these Week in Reviews lately been recounting tragic deaths of pretty young people we didn't know personally, but who nevertheless left a lasting impression on our young minds back in the 1980s?

This week, after the Oscars swept us away to a glamourous, Clooney-ruled world of red carpets, gorgeous gowns and a hilarious Hitler joke directed at Meryl Streep, we sadly paid tribute to one of the original Tiger Beat studs, Corey Haim...

Surprise! Due to overwhelming anticipation, we decided to share this with you a little early, but be sure to watch E! News tonight at 11:00 for all the scoop on the video from Lady Gaga herself!

Lady Gaga's "Telephone" video, featuring the always fierce Beyoncé (and directed by Jonas Åkerlund), has finally premiered!

We've been anticipating this clip for weeks now, something she knows all too well. As she told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show last month, "What I like about it is, it's a real true pop event. When I was younger I was always excited when there was a big giant event happening in pop music and that's what I wanted this to be."

So now that you've seen it, what do you think? Is "Telephone" as epic as "Bad Romance"—or maybe even better? Give us your review in the Comments section below!

All of us little monsters have been anxiously awaiting Lady Gaga's new video "Telephone," and the wait is almost over. This Friday, March 12, the nine-minute video will premiere right here on E! News at 11:00 p.m. Ahhh! Two more days!

Now, "Telephone" has a lot to live up to after the iconic masterpiece that is "Bad Romance," but the singer's not alone in this. Beyoncé will be there, marking the second time the two have worked together (hopefully this time it'll turn out better).

Inspired by Quentin Tarantino's stylized violence, the video picks up where "Paparazzi" left off—Gaga in jail for poisoning her BF Alexander Skarsgård. Of course, he totally deserved it after pushing her off a balcony, but at least B is there to help her girl through this trying time.

All right, who's excited? Think it can live up to "Bad Romance"?

The quest to determine whether Beyoncé has a half-brother is picking up steam.

The Grammy-winning diva's dad, Matthew Knowles, who was a target of a paternity suit in October, exclusively tells E! News that he will "certainly" submit to a paternity test when asked.

"I know about as much as you do," he says. "Last week, they said it was a girl, this week they said it was a boy. We do have a court date but none of that means anything until DNA testing is done."

Starting with the Grammys, moving on to the Oscar nominations and ending up with Charlie Sheen's car going off a cliff, this was quite the week.

And since there was so much news, we won't waste time with platitudes (must have heard that word on Colbert or something).

Away we go:

What will all the fuss over which stars did us—and their careers—proud over the last 12 months, it's easy to lose sight of those who, well, sucked.

But while the critics seem to be in agreement that Sandra Bullock could very well be the best actress of the year, a slightly different set of no less opinionated critics happen to be in somewhat different agreement: namely, that Sandra Bullock could also very well be the worst actress of the year.

Ain't showbiz grand?

Beyoncé Knowles and Sasha Fierce almost proved to be an unbeatable team.

The 28-year-old diva collected a field-dominating, record-setting six Grammys tonight, but it was 20-year-old Taylor Swift who was standing tallest at the end of the night, her five-times platinum Fearless a winner for Album of the Year.

"When we're 80 years old and we're telling the same stories over and over to our grandkids and they're so annoyed with us, this is the story we're going to be telling over and over again," she said. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Swift, who entered the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards with a whopping eight nominations, made it out with four wins overall, including Best Country Album and Best Female Vocal Country Performance and Best Country Song, both for "White Horse."

Get the complete list of winners.

Lady Gaga's wild ways have earned her an enemy.

After using prop pistols during her live stage shows, and waving around faux firearms with Beyoncé in the video for their hit single "Video Phone," gun safety group the Brady Campaign is taking on the popstar.

"The music was fine, but I wonder why they went out of their way to glorify guns in their production," campaign president, Paul Helmke wrote on their website. "Beyond the sexual stereotype of guns in general, it's hard to understand why they are in the video at all."

But why the sudden interest in the not-so-recently released music video and its stars?
