Three down, three to go. Lady Gaga released her third "Yoü and I" fashion film, and this time she's portraying her mermaid incarnation, Yüyi.

The previous two videos took a closer look at her Nymph character and her Bride character from the original, full-length "Yoü and I" video.

The latest installment features a montage of behind-the-scenes shots of Gaga making her way out of her trailer as she is carried around the Nebraska set of her video to the barn where a majority of the video takes place. She's carried through the cornfields of Nebraska by two crew members.

Gaga is seen gyrating on the all-white set as Yüyi, bouncing on her director's chair and flopping around like the fish out of water her character is. The Inez-and-Vinoodh-directed video also features cameos by a bare-chested cowboy, one of the crew members who carried her around in the behind-the-scenes footage, and Nicola Formichetti, the singer's longtime stylist and Mugler creative director.

The clip closes out as Yüyi-fied Gaga and her crew make their way into the barn, where all the original "Yoü and I" magic took place. "It's like she really gives so much," Inez recalled of shooting the clips. "Sometimes we were shooting, it was like 3 a.m., and she's been on set forever and still you get an incredible performance — full of fire.

"It was exciting, it was intense. It was 108 degrees, but it was exciting because there's so much energy. We had great people around us," the fashion photographer added.

In addition to its Web debut late Tuesday, Formichetti tweeted an invitation to a premiere event for the new "Yoü and I" fashion film held at a New York pop-up store. The video premiered there on the eve of the store's closing.

Troy Davis Supporters Make Last-Minute Appeal For Death-Row Inmate

With his execution looming on Wednesday night (September 21), Georgia death-row inmate Troy Davis' lawyers have been scrambling to piece together a last-minute appeal on his behalf. Davis has been fighting to win a clemency ruling that would spare him the death penalty for the 1989 killing of Georgia police officer Mark MacPhail, a crime he claims he did not commit.

Time magazine reported that his lawyers offered on Tuesday to have him take a polygraph test if the pardons board would consider its results, and some of Davis' supporters have suggested asking President Obama to intervene in the case, though legal experts said that was unlikely. A Georgia appeals panel refused the polygraph request on Wednesday in what has become the most high-profile death penalty case in the country in several years.

A number of prominent hip-hop artists have taken up Davis' cause, among them Diddy, ?uestlove, Killer Mike and Russell Simmons, as well as the ATL's Big Boi. The Outkast co-founder has taken to his Twitter account to spread the word about the case and try to get the word out about a series of protests planned for Wednesday around the city.

"Time to hit the streets people!!!! #Troydavis. Rally at the prison in Jackson Georgia 4:00 pm , time to be seen!!!!!" he wrote early Wednesday as part of a flurry of tweets about the topic. "Judge Penny Freezeman is apparently the only one that can stop the UNJUST execution of Troy Davis: 912-652-7252."

Boi's account is full of retweets from other celebs weighing in, including Kim Kardashian, Diddy, writer Kevin Powell, Cedric the Entertainer and Marlon Wayans. "At this point if you're in Atlanta or anywhere near, Jackson, Georgia, is where u need to be, out of towners can man the phones," he wrote.

MacPhail was working as a security guard at a Savannah, Georgia, Burger King in August 1989 when he tried to help a man who was being assaulted in a nearby parking lot. Davis was fingered as the assailant and during his 1991 trial a number of witnesses testified that they saw Davis shoot MacPhail, though a murder weapon and DNA evidence were never recovered from the scene. Ballistics tests showed that the fatal shot came from the same gun used in another shooting in which Davis was earlier convicted.

Davis' lawyers have argued that new ballistics tests disprove the prosecution's case and that seven of the nine original eyewitnesses changed all or part of their testimony in later proceedings. The long-running case has garnered worldwide attention and Davis' cause has been taken up by groups and individuals such as Amnesty International, the NAACP, former President Jimmy Carter, the Pope, civil rights leader Al Sharpton and former FBI director William Sessions, who've called on courts to grant Davis a hearing in light of the new evidence.

Lawyer Brian Kammer also tried to file a last-minute appeal based on new ballistics evidence and allegations of misleading testimony used in the original trial to convict Davis, but legal experts predicted those efforts would also likely fail to spare his client's life. Davis is scheduled to die by lethal injection at 7 p.m. on Wednesday.

The case made it all the way to the Supreme Court last year, Davis' lawyers failed to prove their client's innocence.

Davis has maintained his innocence all along, but prosecutors in the case have repeatedly said they feel confident that the right man was convicted.

Watch 'RapFix Live' today at 4 pm ET on MTV.com as Big Boi and Pill discuss their protest of the Troy Davis execution with Sway.

Audrina Patridge, Ke$ha, Adam Lambert Share Prom Memories

'Me and my gay best friend just danced until 8 a.m.,' Ke$ha tells MTV News.

It's prom season, and that means high schoolers across this great land will be renting tuxes, buying fancy dresses and negotiating the details of their curfews with parents. So, before you take your pictures and get in your limos, we asked some Hollywood A-listers to recall their fondest prom memories.

"I had a great prom," Ne-Yo told MTV News. "I didn't get to go with who I wanted to go with. I got my second choice, but my second choice turned out to be the one I was supposed to be there with, so it turned out good."

Ke$ha, never one to say no to a party, had the best night of all her friends. "I went to prom with my gay best friend, and let me tell you, I had way more fun than anybody else at a prom with their boyfriends," she recalled. "Everybody else was, like, crying and drama and breaking up, and me and my gay best friend just danced until 8 a.m."

"Hellcats" star Aly Michalka doesn't have a favorite prom memory — because she never went to prom. "I was homeschooled, so I don't even think we had a fake prom," she lamented. "Like, maybe we had a home-school prom and I wasn't invited?"

While everything always seems to be in peril on "The Vampire Diaries," star Nina Dobrev had a less tumultuous night: "Having everyone get together and such a final celebration [is what I remember]."

Romeo went big for his prom. "My senior prom, I remember I pulled up in my red Ferrari. I was feeling like James Bond," he said. "And it was one of the best nights of my life."

"My favorite prom memory was probably going shopping for a dress, and our boyfriends at the time dressed up as 'Dumb & Dumber,' " Audrina Patridge laughed. "And so we were like, 'We can't dress up dorky ... we have to look good.' "

Roots drummer ?uestlove made a big decision on the night of his prom: "June 2, 1989, was my very last haircut; prom haircut, totally butchered my hair. He butchered my hair, and I vowed never again to ever get in a barber chair, so I grew that Afro on my prom night."

Adam Lambert said his prom date was a 10, so he definitely had a fun night. "I had a great prom. I had an awesome time," he said. "I went with one of my best friends in high school. Her name was Lauren, and she was really hot. She wore a really hot red dress, so I felt like I had arm candy."

Lindsay Lohan Kicked Out of Fashion Week Party

Lindsay Lohan Kicked Out of Fashion Week Party

Lindsay Lohan's bad behavior has gotten her in trouble again, this time at New York Fashion Week. The starlet put together quite the impressive showing (in a bad way) at the weeklong fashion extravaganza in in N.Y.C. On Wednesday night, she allegedly hurled a glass at V photographer Jasper Richsen (though she missed and hit a waitress) at the Standard Hotel's Boom Boom Room. And on Thursday night, Lohan got kicked out of a Marc Jacobs party at The Gallery at The Dream Hotel Downtown.

Attendees of the party told Page Six that Lohan and a friend were denied entry to the exclusive event -- likely because of Lindsay's shenanigans the previous night at the Boom Boom Room. Apparently unfazed by event organizers telling her that "it's not going to happen," Lohan had Dream Hotel owner Vikram Chatwal walk her into the party -- but even that wasn't enough to gain Lindsay a spot at the soiree; security guards immediately came by and asked her to leave.

LiLo eventually did vacate the premises and, in an interesting move, headed back over to the Boom Boom Room -- where she was, quite surprisingly, allowed in. It's double surprising that Lohan hadn't been black-listed from the bar seeing as glass-throwing was just the tip of the iceberg for Lindsay on Wednesday night. According to New York magazine, Lohan continued on her violent tear that night by "sucker-punching a seemingly innocent bystander as she walked past."

It's not the first time Lohan has been known to have spontaneous violent behavior when out on the town. In April 2010, LiLo threw a drink in the face of former girlfriend Samantha Ronson when they were both at the club Trousdale in West Hollywood, Calif. At the time, Ronson was said to have responded to Lohan's behavior by saying, "I don't know... she's an angry human being."
