Lady GaGa: 'Britney is a class act'

Lady GaGa has spoken of her respect and mutual admiration for fellow pop musician Britney Spears.

The 'Just Dance' singer told Fab that she enjoyed her recent collaboration with Spears and claimed that the Blackout star had never gone away.

Lady GaGa said: "It was awesome seeing the song change when she put her touches on it. I'm just really grateful that she loves the music and she's so supportive of me.

"She's a fan of my stuff and to write a song that she loves and to know she loves me as an artist, you can't ask for anything better than that."

She added: "Britney's a real class act in terms of the way she handles herself in the media and embraces new artists. She's always really kind, I've always admired that about her.

"She's gonna kick everybody's ass. She's awesome, as far as I'm concerned Britney never left."

Lady GaGa said that she would like to collaborate musically with David Bowie, Marilyn Manson, Mika and Scissor Sisters, as well as Quentin Tarantino or "a weird porn director" on a short film project.
