As we reported over the weekend, Lady Gaga has usurped Britney Spears as the new Queen of Twitter. She's now #1 in followers among ALL HUMANS.

But what good is a monarch without respect for the people they serve, a few edicts - and a costume crafted in honor of the social networking site?

Not a lot if you ask us.

"I wanted to thank all my beautiful little monsters for following me," she said in the inauguration video below. "Thank you for beginning my reign as Twitter queen. May you always have soft cuticles while tweeting, may you never have carpal tunnel."

"I vow to never partake in celebrity online shenanigans. And I vow to always tweet and tweet again," she said ... before getting called to rehearsal.

Twitter Queen

With 5,771,673 followers at last count, Lady Gaga has assumed a larger lead on Spears (5,719,432) in the last couple of days, so it looks like this queen isn't being voted out anytime soon. Which makes sense. Queens and democracy don't mix.
