You And I Set Details -
Shot in Springfield, Nebraska. Central part of the set is a barn, and there is also a piano in the middle of a cornfield which Gaga will play during the video.Shooting is 3 days long - July 20, 21, 22.
Laurieann Gibson, Richard Jackson, Nicola Formichetti & the dancers are all there. Supposedly a 150-person crew.
It is possible that the Mermaid part of the video has already been filmed previously, back during Day 1 of EOG shoot, before the concept was scrapped. Otherwise, it may have been filmed in LA earlier this week, or they may film it this weekend when Gaga returns to LA.
BET planning tribute to Aaliyah next month
BET announced in a tweet Wednesday night that a tribute to fallen Detroit star Aailyah is in the works and will air on the cable channel next month.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of Aaliyah's death; the rising R&B singer-movie star was killed in a plane crash on August 25, 2001 in the Bahamas after a music video shoot.
At the time of her death, Aaliyah had just released her third album and had completed production on "Queen of the Damned" based on the Anne Rice novel. She had been in talks to star in an updated version of the 1976 girl-group flick "Sparkle" -- which is now nearing production here in Metro Detroit with a new cast.
And, as 411Mania.com points out, that's not the only thing Aaliyah had planned during those days.
411Mania: Perhaps the strangest collaboration that we almost got was one between the late AALIYAH and NINE INCH NAILS, well TRENT REZNOR at least. Aaliyah was a huge Nine Inch Nails fan and had asked Reznor to collaborate on a song with her on what would become her last album, Aaliyah. There was some discussion, but scheduling conflicts prevent Reznor from the collaboration. In August 2001, the collaboration was prevented from ever happening as Aaliyah died in a plane crash. Like others taken too soon, Aaliyah's career seemed limitless at that point as she was supremely talented and naturally beautiful.
BET did not give an airdate or any other details for their Aaliyah tribute.

Jay-Z, Kanye West Try Dubstep On Watch The Throne
Jay-Z and Kanye West's collaborative Watch the Throne LP is shaping up to be the year's most anticipated release.
So far, fans have heard the Southern-fried, Lex Luger-produced "H.A.M." and the soul-drenched "Otis," which premiered Wednesday night on New York radio. While the two records both feature hard-nosed lyrics from Hov and 'Ye, their sounds couldn't be more different.
Well, the sonic versatility doesn't stop there. Singer/songwriter Verse Simmonds revealed to MTV News that the multiplatinum rap tandem will also be experimenting with dubstep on the new album.
The Black Keys Already Have a New LP In the Bag
According to a recent article in Spin, the Black Keys already have their upcoming LP finished. I say “already,” but it was actually May of 2010 when they released their colossal record Brothers that propelled them into the mainstream. I don’t know why that album feels like it was released only a short time ago, but it wasn’t. Anyway!
Amidst touring the world, winning three Grammys, working the festival circuit, and much more, they’ve recorded a new LP. Dan Auerbach says of the new songs, “It’s the fastest we’ve ever played… The new album doesn’t sound like Brothers. It doesn’t have that open soul feel to it. It’s way more driving and the tempos are really fast.” He also explained that the fresh material was inspired by the Clash, the Cramps and old garage rock and rockabilly. I haven’t been intrigued by the Black Keys in some times, but I must say, this kind of material they speak of should fair well in their hands.
Apparently, the drums are so fast that drummer Patrick Carney is worried about playing some of these songs live. The LP doesn’t have a title yet, but they say it’ll be released later this year. Danger Mouse was again brought on as the producer.
