Not surprisingly, the performers at the 2008 Video Music Awards were a who’s who of who’s smoking hot right now -- Katy Perry, Lil Wayne, Paramore, The Ting Tings, Christina Aguilera, T.I., Kid Rock, LL Cool J and Kanye West all rocked Hollywood. But when it came to showstoppers -- aside from Britney’s big do-over -- Rihanna, the Jonas Brothers and Pink had it in the bag.
Looking like a character from Mad Max heading to Tina Turner's Thunderdome on top of a 20-tiered layer cake, Rihanna opened the show with “Disturbia/Seven Nation Army” while surrounded by writhing zombified dancers. On the flipside, the JoBros stripped things down and sang “Lovebug” while sitting on a stoop on the Paramount lot -- before jumping onstage as a flood of screaming fans swarmed in on them. (We know you sooo wanted to be there!) And Pink’s badass glass-breaking, bomb-throwing, nipple-revealing rendition of “So What” put the term “eye-popping” on the 2008 VMA map.
Yeah, we could go on and on about all the kick-ass performances -- Katy Perry looked super cute! Xtina had a kick-ass post-baby bod! Paramore pulled a fast one on us! -- but why don’t you check ’em all out for yourself? We’ve got all the pics and videos you need right here at your little fingertips.
