Lady Gaga barely beats Jersey Shore's Pauly D in a culture contest
Put America's top two music divas in one controversial video and you're bound to get a lot of discussion. Sarah Rufca's critique of Telephone, the Lady Gaga/Beyoncé video, was the most popular story on Culture Map this week (March 14-20), drawing a ton of comments.
