"MUSE FACTORY" directed by Eric Johnson.

This is the final commercial released for the MTV Video Music Awards featuring Lady Gaga as the main subject. It was premiered on August 18, 2011 during an episode of the Jersey Shore. this commercial features a remix of "Government Hooker" and "Heavy Metal Lover". Four scenes were recorded for this promotion. The video begins with a puddle of blood with "GAGA" being written in it, and Lady Gaga wearing fishnets, a Salvatore Ferragamo shirt, and Emmanuelle Khanh sunglasses courtesy of Elton John. She is seen with a lightning bolt shadow over her face, referencing the Lightning Eye make-up she wore during the promotion of "Just Dance", and throwing away cards, referencing a scene in the music video for "Poker Face". She leaves the room to change into aNorma Kamali bodysuit, and invites the viewers into her "Muse Factory." Inside the "Muse Factory" are a table with the message, "Born This Way in the USA", the Semi Precious Weapons, the Dirty Pearls, Lady Starlight, and Darian Darling. During this scene, Lady Gaga wears a Stéphane Rollanddress, Pleaser boots, and Stephen Jones mask. Lady Gaga starts dancing and crawling on the table. Intercut are scenes of all the attendees toasting and drinking. Lady Gaga is scene wearing Tripp NYC bustier, Guns and Roses bandana, and black lingerie from Victoria's Secret. (source: ladygaga.wikia.com)

I love it so much. I remember watching this and being anticipated for the Vma 2011 performance and I was like "This performance is going to be amazing" and then I saw Jo Calderone with her awkward monologue and my face turned red from embarrassment because I was with ten other people watching the vmas.

Only awkward thing was how she kept it up for the whole show and kinda took away from Britney's moment.

Yeah like dont get me wrong I like the idea of Jo better in a photoshoot and music video but the performance was cringeworthy in my opinion :/
