  1. Obsessively blogging about pop music, pop videos, pop stars, and pop culture from inside the MTV headquarters in Times Square. We also have a slight Jonas Brothers problem. And a little fixation with Tokio Hotel.

Ohhhhh Joss Stone. When you're a host of a live show or a red carpet, it's kinda your JOB to be super NICE to people. And not... you know... call them liars? Which is actually what happened when she asked Kevin Jonas if the Jonas Brothers planned on partying after the MTV Europe Music Awards in celebration of  Kevin's 22nd birthday.

Kevin Jonas innocuously told Joss that no, the Jonas Brothers would NOT be poppin' bottles with models after the MTV EMAs because they're off to Italy to do a show. But Joss and MTV Germany's Joko Winterscheidt wouldn't take no for an answer, and awkward host banter ensued while the Jonas Brothers stayed diplomatic, but you could tell they were probably suppressing clenched teeth and an eye roll. Nick Jonas kinda wears an expression that sorta suggests "Is this real life?" (à la "David at the Dentist") -- the kind of expression one does when reality-meets-surreality on live international TV.

If I were the Jonas Brothers, I would've totally pulled out my Blackberry and started pretend-texting until the nails-on-a-chalkboard moment was over. (But then again, I hate confrontation.) The end of the clip is great, as Joe Jonas is kiiiiiinda-sorta like "Nah, really, I'm good."

OHHHH Joss Stone and Joko Winterscheidt! Totally blowin' up Tokio Hotel's SPOT with the pyrotechnics and stuff! Maybe the fire in their "World Behind My Wall" performance was supposed to be a S-U-R-P-R-I-S-E, mkay? Anyway, enjoy this video of Tokio Hotel on the red carpet at the 2009 MTV Europe Awards in Berlin. Plus, enjoy the fun potent Tokio quotables such as:

+ Bill Kaulitz saying, "We just know some words from our school time." (Tee!)

+ Tom Kaulitz, who says that Tokio has been doing "a lot of dirty interesting and you know, nasty things."

+ "We are old-school." -- Bill Kaulitz... Granted, five seconds later, Tokio Hotel joined Twitter, so you never can tell!

+ Plus: Watch the 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards on demand, watch every MTV EMA performance, and check out more red carpet interviews.

The performances at the 2009 MTV Europe Awards were like hitting "shuffle" on your iPod... except exponentially more intense. Shakira and Beyonce, Jay-Z, Leona Lewis, U2, Green Day, Foo Fighters, and Tokio Hotel -- all celebrated popular music's bounty, from U2's timeless unifier, "One," to Shakira's box-fresh "Did It Again."

Hallelujah and praise Beysus! The 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards just went down, and Beyonce ruled the night, sweeping up three awards -- Best Video for "Single Ladies," Best Female, and Best Song for "Halo." In a rare nod to her real-life love, Beyonce thanked her husband Jay-Z for putting a ring on it, and then Valentine's Day came early when she performed a red, romantic rendition of "Sweet Dreams."

Tokio Hotel landed on the red carpet at the 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards looking like a league of extraordinary gentlemen, Bill Kaulitz told Joss Stone they're "old-school" about technology, Tokio then absolutely NAILED an awe-inspiring, heart-in-your-throat live performance of "World Behind My Wall," and then, symbolizing the fall of the Berlin Wall, set fire to the wall behind them, and picked up the EMA for Best Group. Willkommen home, boys!

Katy Perry rode a shoe, wore a dress that may or may not have been attacked by giant mice (or moths), and a bustier that looked see-through. And it's not even midnight. Check out all of 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards host Katy Perry's outrageously awesome outfits from the show, from her gorgeous floral red carpet gown by Marchesa, to her West Ham onesie, her nearly naked flesh-toned bustier, her cabaret costume and more examples of Katy Perry in tulle go so wrong it's so right.
