Celebrities seem to have only a few style options when dressing for the VMAs. They either go for the hilariously trashtacular look, as was the case with Pamela Anderson at the 1999 VMAs. Or Lil Kim at almost every VMA she's attended. Or they wear the most unsubtle get-up possible, like Rose McGowan's dress, which was backless as well as butt-less at the 1998 VMAs. Or, if you're Pete Wentz, you wear a monkey.

But with the return of the VMAs to Los Angeles, we can expect a return to form... in the form of good old-fashioned retro Hollywood glamor. It's a fashionable fallback and a style choice that looks good on any and every star. Sequined gowns, mermaid dresses, slim-fitting suits, pinstripes, picture-perfect makeup, hair just so, everything camera-ready. It's an awards show, people. Step it up, and dress it up!

So in honor of what we HOPE will be a return to old-Hollywood glamor on the VMA red carpet, we've put together a photo gallery of the VMA's most glamorous stars. Check out some of our favorite glamorous stars at the VMAs, and vote for the star you think looked the most glamorous.


And check out some VMA red carpet stand outs, like Beyonce, Jay-Z, Christina Aguilera and more below.

The Jonas Brothers at the 2008 VMAs, suited up like perfect gentlemen.

Kylie Minogue
's Aphrodite has already given us the fabulous "All The Lovers" single and video, and now we get another treat from the Australian pop queen -- "Get Outta My Way." Nobody else makes robotic, lush dance-pop like Kylie; so full of melody and hooks, so rich with production flourishes and pristine singing.

As a video, "Get Outta My Way," directed by AlexandLiane, has one distinct similarity with its predecessor, "All The Lovers," in that it features Kylie Minogue in the company of a bunch of barely clad men. In her "Get Outta My Way" video, Minogue sports some ferocious claw rings, various fabulous outfits (especially the leopard-print number) and does some chair dancing with her back-up dancers.

Watch "Get Outta My Way" below. Aphrodite is out now.

Tupac may lay claim to hip-hop resurrections, but Eminem's brand-new 2010 MTV VMA promo video is clearly a resurrection too.

In his dramatic promo spot, Eminem, wearing a blood-red jacket, spills out of a decidedly wrecked car onto a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame. The fallen star imagery is clear? The car explodes seconds later. Good thing Em got out. He pulls himself together, dusts himself off, and drags himself, limping and bruised, to what appears to be another Eminem. This is a hero's story, and Eminem's VMA promo is a metaphor for his musical journey and his personal one. He's on his way back to himself, and the message here is clear: Eminem is unshakable and unstoppable. This is the fall and rise of Eminem.

And speaking of heroes, Eminem is poised to be one of the heroes of the 2010 MTV VMAs, with 8 VMA nominations and a live performance that couldn't possibly be anything but legendary.

Watch Eminem's VMA promo now.

Celebrities do a lot of interviews, and sometimes it feels like if you've seen one, you've seen them all. But believe me when I tell you, you've never seen a Jonas Brothers interview like the one you're about to watch.

Here's what you will likely take from this interview, culled from a chat between MTV Canada personality Paul "The Intern" Lemieux (who works with Daryn Jones) and the Jonas Brothers: a) Paul is incredibly funny, b) the Jonas Brothers have a pretty good sense of humor about themselves, and c) they've clearly teased Kevin about his nuptials.

In the Jonas Brothers interview below, the seemingly unaware Brothers fall victim to Paul "The Intern"'s willful obtuseness and general weirdness, and they seem to enjoy ever single second of it. Incredible stuff here about going to heaven, Walt Disney, Justin Bieber (watch their reactions when Paul tells them Justin Bieber choked out a cop), Miley Cyrus and more.

While we all anxiously wait for Nicki Minaj's debut album, Pink Friday to come out (seriously, hurry up, calendar), we'll have to make due with the little things, like Nicki's fashionable and fabulous appearance in PAPER Magazine's September issue.

PAPER catches up with Nicki in Los Angeles, where Nicki talks about her time growing up in New York, attending acting school, and having the courage to make her rhymes sound as smart she actually is.

It's a pretty dope feature on Nicki, with some great photos. Check out another shot of Nicki below. And, while you're here, check out her awesome 2010 MTV VMAs promo. Pink Friday is out November 23rd.

Twitter is a great way to keep up with your friends, keep up with breaking news and keep your pun game tight. But it also has a downside, especially for celebs who insist on using it as a constantly updating, stream-of-consciousness look at the inner-workings (or derailingss) of their mind.

There really ought to be a squad of Twitter Cops who go can intercept celebs when they're about to make an ill-timed or ill-advised tweet, telling them in a cool, calm voice: "Back away from Twitter, put the Blackberry down. It's gonna be alright."

So without further ado, here are 5 celebs who might want to think twice before hitting send on their next missive.

1.) Tameka "Tiny" Cottle: T.I.'s long-time girlfriend and now wife usually tweets pretty innocuous stuff, like, "On the plane headed 2 Vega$$$." But she might want to think twice about tweeting after she and her on-probation husband get busted on drug possession charges. Tiny! You got the right to remain silent! Exercise it!

2.) 50 Cent: Curtis' Tweets have been super entertaining, if occasionally a little aggro. But last time I checked a couple of bullet holes and a few platinum albums do not equal a law degree. So with that in mind, Fiddy, maybe don't advise Tiny to take the blame for her husband?

3.) Paris Hilton: The tweets may lie, but TMZ, in this case, does not. The other night, Paris Hilton was somehow in bed, watching "Family Guy." I say "somehow," because she was simultaneously being arrested for drug possession in Vegas. This could be a classic example of what happens when you have your assistants tweet for you but don't mention to them that you've been arrested. Paris has since used Twitter to proclaim her innocence.

4.) Chris Brown: Subtly throwing shots at his ex-girlfriend, Rihanna? Check. Getting into beef with Soulja Boy? Check. Ranting at music retailers? Check. Chris Brown and Twitter need couples therapy.

5.) Lindsay Lohan: Sadly, Lindsay's Twitter account might be a rather accurate representation of where she's at her in life, literally and figuratively. In the course of three tweets, a pre-rehab Lohan alerted people to a fashion website, thanked someone for assisting her in her fight against draconian child labor practices and took a shot at her father. She's been pretty mellow since getting out of rehab. Let's hope it stays that way (for her sake).

... And for the record, the celebrity who should NEVER take a Twitter break is Kanye West. Obvz.

A couple of days ago Justin Bieber played a show at New York City's Madison Square Garden. We weren't able to make it because our doctor said our eardrums would not be able to withstand the noise of the screaming fans, so we are left with mere photo documentation, such as the somewhat steamy shot above.

Yup, that's Justin Bieber, putting the stage moves on none other than Miley Cyrus. As we mentioned before, Miley Cyrus joined Justin Bieber for a duet on the song "Overboard." Miley and Justin certainly seem to have some, uh, chemistry. So much chemistry that there's speculation that the two are...DATING?! Will Justin Bieber be the next guy to join Miley's Boyfriend Hall of Fame?

It was a far cry from Miley's stance from just a few months back when she claimed she was immune to Bieber fever. It's also worthy noting how Miley seemed to polish up her look a little bit...

Shorter, more styled hair, the always in-style little black dress -- that's some classy lassy style right there.

Justin Bieber's My World Tour rolls on through September. No word on whether Miley will be joining him for any other dates (or dates, if you catch my drift).

B.o.B.'s hit single "Magic," featuring Rivers Cuomo, is an impossible-to-resist, get-on-your-feet, feel-good party of a track. And that's exactly what his "Magic" video is, too, starting with a seemingly mundane morning that's about to get a whole lot better and a whole lot weirder.

A magic sink magically filled with cereal? Magically hot girls magically occupying your suburban bungalow? Rivers Cuomo magically appearing out of nowhere and throwing a magical concert on the lawn? It's all going on in the wonderfully weird, magical mind of B.o.B., who shows off not only his lightning-fast rap skills but also his mind games in his "Magic" video.

Chelsea Handler is a notorious offender. Offender of celebrities great--Robert Pattinson--and small--Snooki. (And by small, we mean tiny in size, of course!) So what's Chelsea going to do when she hosts the 2010 MTV VMAs? Have a few vodka tonics and hope for the best? Go out there guns blazing? In her new VMA promos, she faces the music. And that music happens to be a seating chart of all of the VMA stars in the audience that night. And it's not looking good. Chelsea's offended them all. Except for one man. And that man is Kid Rock... Well, at least for now.

In her Chelsea Handler's first VMA promo video, Kid Rock takes on the comedian and VMA hostess. In Chelsea's next VMA promo video, Kid Rock and Chelsea colorfully outline the conditions of a game of "Would You Rather" involving Lady Gaga and Snooki.
