Contagion Viral Marketing Gone Wild: The Bird Flu Is Mutating, For Reals

In Steven Soderbergh ‘s panic-inducing epidemic thriller Contagion , the world is paralyzed by a fast-spreading virus that scientists, including Laurence Fishburne, can’t get a bead on. “Someone doesn’t have to weaponize the bird flu,” he intones in the trailer. “The birds are doing that.” As if Contagion wasn’t already a hypochondriac’s nightmare, a U.N. report this week reveals that the deadly bird flu, or H5N1, has mutated and is spreading overseas.

Lady Gaga VMA Performance: Jo Calderone Rants, Sings "You and I"!

Little Monsters already know Jo Calderone is Lady Gaga’s later ego. What they didn’t know before last night’s Video Music Awards is that the two were an item! “My name is Jo Calderone,” the 25-year-old said, showing up in drag as part of her wild, extended pre-performance monologue. “Lady Gaga? She left me!” Fully committed to the character for several minutes, smoking a cigarette as he/she addressing the crowd, “Jo” grew more and more animated … Lady Gaga VMA Performance 2011 “[ Lady Gaga ] is f**king crazy!” he/she said. “For example, she gets out of the bed, puts on the heels. She comes out of the bathroom dripping wet and she’s still got the heels on … And what’s with the hair? “At first it was sexy, but now I’m just confused. I think it’s really f**king great that she’s such a star and all … but how am I supposed to shine?” There you go. Finally, Lady Gaga sat down and belted out a soulful rendition of “You and I.” Brian May from Queen came on stage and joined her. What did you think of her performance? Was it great to see Jo Calderone in person like that, or did the gag get old? Certainly original, right?

LMFAO Say Past VMA Invitations ‘Lost’ In The Mail

‘We move every year, and the Postal Service hasn’t figured it out,’ RedFoo jokes to MTV News about Sunday marking their first VMAs. By Jocelyn Vena LMFAO Photo: MTV News While LMFAO acted as our red-carpet VMA DJs last year, Sunday will mark their first time at the main show, where their zombie-themed “Party Rock” video is up for Best Choreography. So how is it that the dance-music duo are VMA virgins? “This might be the first time we were invited, or we might not have gotten [the invitation] in the mail,” SkyBlu joked to MTV News on Saturday (August 27), just one day before the show takes place at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. “The last 28 invitations got lost.” His partner in party crimes, RedFoo, added: “We always move every year, and the Postal Service hasn’t figured it out. And we always get the things, like, ‘That was three months ago; could have went.’ ” Well, now that they’re going, LMFAO have some words for their competition in the category, which includes Britney Spears (“Till the World Ends”), Bruno Mars (“The Lazy Song”), Lady Gaga (“Judas”) and Beyonc

Why Elizabeth Banks Tweets

“I accidentally got on Twitter because there was a fake Elizabeth Banks, twittering, and David Wain, who’s the director of Role Models and a good friend of mine, was staying at my house in L.A., twittering. I didn’t know anything about Twitter at the time, but he was following me, thinking it was me. And this person tweeted, ‘Hanging out by my pool! Just chilling on Saturday!’ And David Wain was actually hanging out by my pool, on Saturday, and I wasn’t there. I was in New York or something. And so he was like, ‘Huh, I don’t think you’re Elizabeth Banks.’ And this person broke down, and said, ‘No I’m not Elizabeth Banks. I started this because I’m a fan and now I have all these followers and I don’t know what to do.’ David called me and said, ‘Do you want me to broker the password away from this guy and get your identity back on Twitter?’ And he did! So, yeah: I got Twitter identity theft.” Now you know. [ Esquire ]
