Lady Gaga to Premiere ‘Judas’ Video on ‘American Idol’

Lady Gaga is getting her 'Judas' on multiple times in the next two weeks. The anticipated video for the song, which reportedly features Gaga as Mary Magdalene, will debut the week of May 2 on 'American Idol.'

Rumors circulated that the controversial video -- instilled with religious imagery -- would debut on Easter Sunday. That would have been icing on the cake for religious groups, who were up in arms about the possibility that the video would be released during Holy Week. An update -- given by Gaga's label Interscope Records via its Twitter account -- put those rumors to rest. The tweet read as follows: "#judas video @ladygaga will premiere the week of may 2nd on @AmericanIdol ...more specific coming soon." It has not been announced if Gaga will perform on that episode of the show, as well.

Beforehand, though, the superstar will perform 'Judas' on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' on Wednesday, April 28 and engage in a little one-on-one with her buddy Ellen, who even called her to say "Happy Birthday" last month.

Gaga has a slew of TV appearances on her jam-packed schedule. On May 21, she will perform on 'Saturday Night Live,' the episode of which will be hosted by fellow pop star Justin Timberlake. Gaga will also perform on the May 27 episode of 'Good Morning America,' launching the AM program's summer concert series. Gaga's HBO special, which was filmed in February at Madison Square Garden in her hometown of NYC, will air on May 7.

The month of May 2011 should be renamed "Gaga," since she is taking over and there is no shortage of Gagaliciousness throughout the fifth month of the year. 'Born This Way' hits retail stores May 23, just under one month away!
