VIDEOKILLER - All you need is now! On November 8th Duran Duran's "Girl Panic!" video-kolossal is out. Take a look at the sexy backstage

The eighties gave us supermodels, and they gave us Duran Duran. Fast-forward to 2011 and they’re all making headlines again. The band recruited five über-supers for a video for “Girl Panic!,” its new single off the album All You Need Is Now, released earlier this year. In the nine-minute clip directed by Jonas Akerlund (the Grammy Award winner behind Lady Gaga’s “Telephone”) and made in collaboration with Swarovski Elements, Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Eva Herzigova, Helena Christensen, and Yasmin LeBon play Simon, John, Nick, Roger, and an “anonymous guitarist,” while the real members of the group appear as bellhops, waiters, chauffeurs, and paparazzi. Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana even make cameos as Harper’s Bazaar U.K.’s guest editors during a photo shoot scene, images from which can be found in that magazine’s actual December issue. “It’s all daft stuff, but it’s fantastic daft stuff,” says John Taylor in a “making of” video that Style.com is debuting exclusively here. Check back on Tuesday, November 8, for our interview with Nick Rhodes and the complete music video.

OFF THE RECORDS - Gagaism revisited! Three for Lady "Judas": Hurts, Goldfrapp and now Röyksopp

Three for Gaga and Judas for all!
Goldfrapp and Hurts were the first ones to remix Lady Gaga's "Judas" song some weeks ago. More intimate and in slow motion that one by Goldfrapp, more "contro tempo" and didascalic that one by Hurts.
Now even Röyksopp have remixed the pre-last Lady Gaga single...it's the most down to the beat of the trio gone to the Lady's court. Take a listen to the "Röyksopp European Imbecile Remix" below! The track is available to download now in Part 2 of the "Judas (Remixes) EP".
