After Laurieann Gibson co-directed her last two videos, Lady Gaga is reuniting with one of the busiest music-video directors in the game for her "Edge of Glory" clip. According to fan site GagaDaily.com, she will be working again with Joseph Kahn.

The two have worked together in the past on the sunny, candy-coated clip for "Eh Eh" and then on the darker-themed "LoveGame." So really, anything's possible when these two hook up for the '80's-sounding pop smash "Edge."

For those unfamiliar with Kahn's impressive résumé, it includes shooting for everyone from Gaga (obviously) and Eminem to Chris Brown and the Backstreet Boys. He also loves to shoot other pop princesses, including Britney Spears and Katy Perry. Kahn knows a thing or two about taking a big pop record and making a big pop video.

Kahn kicked off his career back in 1990, but found his niche during the "TRL" days on MTV, directing '90s fan favorites like the Backstreet Boys (three videos), Korn, Brandy and Monica for their sing-along hit "The Boy Is Mine" as well as Brian Setzer Orchestra (in case you're too young to know it, swing music had its moment, let's not forget).

Moving into the new millennium, the work hardly slowed down for the director. He became the go-to guy for Destiny's Child (two clips), Spears (three videos), Brown (four clips), Ke$ha, Perry and Eminem (four videos).

Side note: He actually just directed the video for Em's soon-to-be-released "Space Bound." However, we're sure the "Edge" and "Space" videos are insanely different.

"Having worked with him so many times, the thing people don't realize is that he's a fantastic actor. He actually stays in character on set. So when he's Tony Romo, he's Tony Romo the whole time. If he's Bret Michaels, he talks like Bret Michaels. He learned it from ['8 Mile' director] Curtis Hanson. He's a method actor, like Daniel Day Lewis."

-"We Made You" director Joseph Hahn discussing the acting prowess of Marshall Mathers. Hahn, who also directed Eminem's "Without Me" (which won Video of the Year in 2002), said that the rapper wasn't sure he'd be able to pull the concept off simply because he rhymes too fast on the track. Like "Without Me," the video was mostly improvised over two days on the set. "I'm confident in his improvisational ability to come up with a million things on set, which he always does," Kahn told MTV News. Slim Shady is competing for four Moonmen this Sunday at the Video Music Awards (including Video of the Year, Best Male Video, Best Hip-Hop Video and Best Special Effects) and he'll also be appearing on the show. His most intriguing match-up comes in the Best Hip-Hop Video category, where Em will square off against Jay-Z, Flo Rida, Asher Roth and Kanye West.
