Regardless of how you feel about her, Lady Gaga is certainly a pop culture sensation. Fans across the globe are going ga-ga for her newest music video “Telephone” featuring Beyonce, which just hit the web. This week, they’ll be able to rock out to some of her previous hits, including “Bad Romance” and “Poker Face,” which are coming to the Rock Band store.

What’s even more exciting, and hilarious, is that Eric Cartman’s cover version of “Poker Face” is also slated for Rock Band release. The song was first heard on a South Park episode where Cartman would rather play Rock Band than save whales being slaughtered by Japanese terrorists. The cover has been the subject of many a YouTube video, including some remixes with Lady Gaga’s original version, and the version sung/spoken by the amazing Christopher Walken.

Not sure how much fun the original Lady Gaga songs will be to play on Rock Band, but the Cartman version is sure to be a favorite. The Lady Gaga Track Pack and the rest of the new songs available for Rock Band will be released March 16th for Xbox 360 and Wii, and March 18th for the PS3. Here’s the full list of songs.

At The Flickcast, we’ve made it pretty clear how much we enjoy the new FOX series Glee. It manages to incorporate all the things people love about karaoke, Friends, and any after-school special. On top of that, each episode seems to only get better, with each of that night’s songs breaking iTunes’ top 20 list instantly.

In tonight’s episode, “Vitamin D”, things seem to heat up for the adults. From a FOX press release:

In this week’s episode, Will (Matthew Morrison) challenges the kids to a healthy dose of competition with boys against girls in a mash-up showdown. Meanwhile, Terri (Jessalyn Gilsig) takes a job as the school nurse, despite having no medical experience, to keep an eye on her husband.

After the break, check out three brand new clips from tonight’s show, including one where Will sets up the boys vs. girls mash-up competition. This spawns tonight’s songs from Beyonce and Katrina and the Waves’ “Halo vs. Walkin’ on Sunshine” and Bon Jovi and Usher’s “It’s My Life vs. Confessions Part II.”

Watch Glee tonight at 9PM on FOX.
