Madonna vs. Lady Gaga: The Catfight! (Video Included)

Madonna and Lady Gaga have been seen tearing each other’s hair out on live TV – but only in the name of comedy.

The pop divas – both wearing knee-high boots and leather basques – appeared on US sketch show Saturday Night Live where they started out dancing together before their performance turned into a catfight.

Lady Gaga said: “What’s wrong Madonna, can’t get into the groove?”, before the pair started hitting, scratching and pulling each other’s hair.

Madonna sniped: “What kind of name is Lady Gaga – it sounds like baby food?”, to which the Poker Face singer retorted: “The kind that’s No 1 in the Billboard charts.”

Presenter Kenan Thompson then sat between them and persuaded them to kiss and make up.

The two bonded as the comedian interrupted their row, and they high fived as Lady Gaga said: “We’re pop icons – respect!”
