I love Gaga, she’s talented: Beyonce
London: Singer Beyonce Knowles thinks Lady Gaga is the best pop star in the world. “I love Gaga. I mean, if she didn’t perform and she wasn’t a singer, just as a human being I love her to death. But on top of it, she is the most talented pop star right now, and I’m so happy for her,” femalefirst.co.uk quoted her as saying. “It’s just really inspiring to see someone who just creates their own destiny and comes up with their own looks and writes their own songs and choreography and is in control and is not contrived,” she added. Beyonce had collaborated with Gaga last year for “Telephone”. “If you took away every bit of costume and she just sat in front of a piano, she would still tear it down. She’s just that talented, and she deserves it all. And I’m just happy to work with her. I love her,” she said. (IANS)

However, she added that the role is “a challenge because of its complexity and depth”. Antonia is a victim of the Inquisition, a spirit who is not at peace and who now arrives to complicate the lives of the protagonists, a telepath played by Anna Paquin and a vampire portrayed by Stephen Moyer. Turbay, who was born in Houston to Colombian parents, was crowned Miss Colombia in 1991 and the next year was a Miss Universe finalist. (IANS)
