Madonna and Lady Gaga faced off in a staged catfight on live TV.

The pair of pop divas performed a synchronised dance-off, dressed in matching black lingerie and knee-high boots, as part of a skit on Saturday Night Live this week — hosted by Ryan Reynolds — which was called to a halt when Madonna started pulling Gaga’s wig and throttling her, yelling, “What the hell is a disco stick?” – referring to the younger star’s hit single “Love Game.”

The feuding pair had to be separated by the host of the fictitious MTV show Deep House Dish!
