The night just keeps getting bigger. Little Monsters can rejoice because Lady Gaga will be performing at the upcoming 2011 MTV Video Music Awards. Gaga will appear live Thursday on MTV and Logo during "MTV First: Lady Gaga," to make a special #VMA announcement and tease her new VMA promo on the special, which will air at 7:49 p.m. ET  .

Gaga joins a star-studded VMA roster that already includes Adele, Lil Wayne, Bruno Mars, Chris Brown and Young the Giant. The 2011 VMAs will air from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles live on Sunday, August 28, at 9 p.m. ET. MTV will announce additional performers and presenters in the coming days.
