Donny Osmond  go’s in on Lady Gaga’s new video, ‘Telephone,’ in which she and Beyonce embark on a sexually charged murderous rampage.

In a statement released Wednesday, the wholesome singer slams the “Paparazzi” singer and Beyonce for their controversial new “Telephone” video.

“Unlike 20 years ago, in today’s modern, viral world in which content becomes instantaneously available irrespective of age, I wonder whether the music industry might need to rethink its marketing policies with regard to making an explicit music video containing profanity, sexual exploitation, nudity, and graphic violence available to anyone with Internet access,” said the singer who in the past has been a vocal opponent of censorship.

Gaga’s pop culture pastiche set the Web aflame this month with its sexually charged Tarantino-esque imagery. During the nine-and-a-half minute video, the songstress is stripped by prison guards, is privy to an inmate catfight and is then saved by her “Honey B” lover (Beyonce) only to embark on a murderous rampage. A reference horn of plenty, the mini-movie includes nods to Marilyn Manson, Dali, Alexander McQueen and “Thelma and Louise.”

“I wouldn’t want my child to watch this video,” said Osmond, a father of five.

“I passed out about three times on stage that night but I got myself to the floor. I’d rather die on stage than walk off because I was going to pass out.”
