Lady Gaga certainly did not leave anything in the bag in her bid to become Jo Calderone at the MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles Sunday. The pop star didn’t just wear men’s clothing and fake stubble. Lady Gaga took dressing in drag to the extreme, wearing a prosthetic penis, even. Seriously, she was . Talk about getting into character. Perhaps that was the impetus behind the revelation that Gaga/Jo used to pleasure himself to Britney Spears when he was a kid. He/she didn’t say. “I am from New Jersey,” Jo Calderone said. “My family is from Palermo, Sicily. I’m not a singer or a model or an actor or anything. I am just a guy.” A guy who always keeps things interesting, for sure. [Photos: WENN.com]
GLAAD isn’t too happy with Tyler The Creator and Odd Future. Tyler The Creator and Odd Future’s second album contains over 200 anti-gay slurs. The organization is not feeling Tyler’s lyrical content on his latest album Goblin either. GLAAD released a statement regarding his appearance on MTV’s Video Music Awards and his win for Best New Artist. “Rather than providing simply a larger platform, MTV and other networks should educate viewers about why anti-gay and misogynistic language has no place in the music industry today,” said Herndon Graddick, Senior Director of Programs at GLAAD. “Given Tyler’s history of such remarks, viewers and potential sponsors should refrain from honoring homophobia and in the future look to a more deserving artist.” Tyler has not responded to GLAAD’s statement.

Death toll from weekend’s storm rises to 40, as flooding continues in some East Coast states. By Gil Kaufman Sebastian Bach Photo: FilmMagic With the death toll from Hurricane Irene rising to 40, five million homes in the dark as of Monday and towns up and down the East Coast still struggling to hold back floodwaters, the cleanup from the storm is expected to take weeks, if not months. One of the people who will have to put the pieces back together is Skid Row singer Sebastian Bach , whose New Jersey home was destroyed by flooding from the hurricane. The 43-year-old hair-metal vocalist lamented the loss in a lengthy Facebook post, in which he said that not only was the dwelling destroyed, but also that the storm had taken away some one-of-a-kind rock artifacts. “I am numb, in shock, & devastated to report that my home of 21 years, my house featured on ‘MTV Cribs,’ has been destroyed, condemned, & deemed uninhabitable due to the extreme flooding courtesy of Hurricane Irene,” Bach wrote. “In the 2 decades I have lived in this home, there has never been a single drop of water in the basement or anywhere else in the structure. Now Irene has overflowed the reservoir adjacent to my house. The surging waters have snapped the bridge in half next to my house & sent the bridge straight into my garage, knocking the house off of its foundation.” Bach said he was told he could not pump the water out due to fears of electrocution. Among the “irreplaceable” items lost: KISS Gargoyles from the 1979 tour, a KISS pinball machine, Skid Row master tapes, master tapes from Oh Say Can You Scream and “boxes & boxes” of original Skid Row memorabilia, from the band’s first tour to their most recent that Bach said no one else had. “I had a library in the basement with every single magazine that had Skid Row on the cover,” he lamented. “This library took up a big part of the basement. All of this is lost now. We will salvage what we can of course. But how I wish there was a reason to do a box set or something before Hurricane Irene hit. Nobody cared. Now it’s too late. Don’t know what you got till it’s gone, indeed.” Some of his other treasures, such as his father’s artwork — including a 16-foot tall mural from the band’s Slave to the Grind album, were safe after being moved upstairs, but Bach said he hasn’t been allowed back in the house yet to assess the damage because the foundation had “crumbled” and the structure could collapse at any time. “This has really taught me that the best things in life are indeed ‘free,’ ” he concluded. “What makes me happy is that my children & ex wife are safe. My dad’s art is unharmed. No one got hurt. My scrapbooks of memories of my life are dry & safe.” And, after 25 years of calling New Jersey home, Bach said he’s packing it in and permanently moving West. “I will always love New Jersey, but now there is literally nothing left for me here except memories of a past life,” he said. “Hello, Los Angeles. Hello, New Life. Here I am. It’s time for a new start. Like I have a choice.” Related Artists Sebastian Bach

We have to admit, last night’s MTV Video Music Awards show was one of the most memorable and entertaining award shows in recent memory. While there were a lot of great moments there are a few more events that if we could have scripted it, might have gone a little differently. Here’s a little wishful thinking courtesy of Hip-Hop Wired as we note the 10 Things We Wished Would Have Happened At The VMAs.
Not to be out done by Adrianne Curry’s nerdy hotness , the new nerd princess on the block Sara Jean Underwood stepped up her game yet again. Here she is dressed as what I can only assume is some sort of Japanese comic superhero or something, how the hell am I supposed to know, showing off her amazing little body. Unbelievable. I wonder if this chick would be getting so much attention if she was just a traditional bikini model, I doubt it, without the nerd angle she’d probably have to “dat” rich old dudes to make ends meet. Luckily for us that’s not happening. Enjoy. more pictures of Sara Jean Underwood here
