Later L.A., the 2013 VMAs will be held at Jay-Z's Barclays Center in Brooklyn on August 25th!

YO, BROOKLYN! Moonman is coming to Jay-Z's Barclays Center on August 25!

Everyone's been saying "YO!" around the office today, and it's all because of the HUGE announcement that the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards are leaving their home in Los Angeles and moving to... BROOKLYN! More specifically, the VMAs are setting up shop at the Barclays Center (aka the arena where Jay-Z and Beyoncé watch his Brooklyn Nets and remind us that they're entertainment royalty)!

The Moonman shared a bunch of #selfies on MTV's Instagram all morning, documenting his L.A.-to-Brooklyn journey with the hashtag #RoadToTheVMAs. (Hope you get a nap in soon, pal. Looked like a long day.) Can you believe it's been four years since the VMAs spent any time in New York City and its FIRST time in BK? Make sure to tune in for the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, Aug. 25 to see how we take in the Brooklyn vibes!

Rob Kardashian, please stop slut shaming Rita Ora. It's just not cool.

Hey Rob,

Annie here. I copilot the MTV Twitter and I live-tweet "Catfish" (the show about online relationships), so I know how tempting it is to pop off on the interweb when you have FEELINGS.

That said, it was really disappointing the other day when what to my wondering tweets should appear but #RitaWhora trending on Twitter. A lot of dumb stuff trends -- #HosDoAnythingForA, for example -- but in this particular instance it was because you "insinuated" to your 3.8 million followers that your maybe-ex, Rita Ora, boned some dudes whilst you were dating. Then you offered some helpful sex tips to women in relationships.

Jessica Simpson might be pregnant again, and here's hoping it's not endless like last time.

Turns out Jessica Simpson is a real Fertile Myrtle... maybe! The internet's gossip advisory is code red today -- rumor has it the mommy (who gave birth seven months ago to Maxwell Drew) is pregnant again. And of course I have some thoughts on that.

Taylor Swift and Conor Kennedy split. I'm not sure if they're ever getting back together.

Taylor Swift might need a strong bubble bath and a strong drink. This week alone, she debuted her Red album, premiered her new video "Begin Again," shut down Times Square, pulled a Meryl Streep on "Good Morning America," and reportedly ended her relationship with Conor Kennedy. And we all know what happens when homegirl breaks up with someone...

Conor seems like a nice kid, but I'd steer clear of writing a song called "I'll Never Call You Grandma, Ethel." (In Massachusetts, Kennedys are required to take the bar exam at their baptism. They're litigious. I'm just guessing.) That's why it's crucial you take my advice, especially in the delicate post-breakup stage when that fifth glass of pinot greej pours itself, the Oxygen network runs a "Bridges Of Madison County" marathon every single night, and the one ex's number you didn't delete (Jake Gyllenhaall's) taunts your texting fingers.

This isn't Justin Bieber's "Dr. Dolittle 3" audition. He just became the proud dad of a hamster!

Congratulations to Justin Bieber! He's the proud new owner of the rodent's only adorable subfamily, the hamster. (Science classification, wut wut.) No idea what "Pac" means or stands for, but it's every parent's right to name their kin.

As a former hamster mom myself (rest in nocturnal peace, sweet Skipper Dee), I have some concerns about Justin's new friend. I mean, Justin did auction off his last pet, Johnson the snake. Granted, the proceeds went to charity, and he brought Johnson as his date to the 2011 VMAs just to make Selena Gomez squirm. But hamsters are a whole different animal (heh). They are delicate. Snakes eat hamsters, so actually, abandoning Johnson probably worked out for Pac. Getting rid of its No. 1 predator was Bieber's first ace move as a hamster owner. Forget what I said about abandoning Johnson. BUT! I'm still feeling concerned.

As the official "Believe" tour pet, Justin's entourage will babysit Pac while Biebs is onstage. So it's crucial someone writes down these rules and tapes them all over the tour bus:

Seriously Nicki and Mariah, this girl sh*t has to stop.

Dear HBIC (Head Barb In Charge) and Lambily CEO,

You, Nicki Minaj, and Mariah Carey, are in some real deep girl s*** right now, and it has to stop. I say this as someone who raps "Starships" out loud on the elliptical, doesn't shut up when other people move away in disgust, AND who's been told by the owner of an established karaoke bar to never sing "Honey" on his property again. Loyalty isn't a question here.

Some have speculated that the Nicki and Mariah drama has been manufactured to drive buzz and ratings for "American Idol" (or Nicki's pending E! reality show, also produced by Ryan Seacrest), but as Joy V. Behar says, "So what? Who cares?" It doesn't matter what the motivations are -- you're still putting girl s*** out onto the Earth. Cannot. Abide. You are professionals at the height of your careers. Also, Mariah is a MOM!

While Mariah's hired extra security to protect herself from Nicki, poor Keith Urban has to sit between them looking like a giant, beautifully streaked bowl of discomfort. Every time this happens, a straight guy on Twitter tweets "B****es be crazy." Then that fool gets retweeted, and the nasty stereotype that women can't keep it together continues.

That's why we're here for an official Buzzworthy intervention: Nicki and Mariah, neither of you be crazy. Yes, you may have your spells, but because of this dramz, people aren't focusing on the contestants' talent or even your talent, for that matter. You've each built successful pop brands (Mariah did it first, Minaj; Minaj will always be younger than you, Mariah) and quite frankly, this cattiness undermines everything you guys have worked so hard for.

So loosen your weaves, ring your assistants for a cup of chamomile tea, have Wendy Williams throw you a kiki, and when it's time to go to work, sit at the judges' table and smile through your teeth like the industry professionals you are.

Love,

Buzzworthy contributor Annie

Swifties! Get ready, Taylor Swift is performing live at the 2012 VMAs! (Hope she brings Meredith!)

Hi Swifties, are you sitting down? You should sit down. Because the next artist who's going to perform at the 2012 VMAs is... TAYLOR SWIFT! The "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" singer is set to charm the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sept. 6 with a brand-new song, and quite frankly, I am more excited than her beloved cat Meredith at an all-you-can-eat catnip buffet.

We all know Taylor can deliver an intense VMAs performance, so you can bank on some real emotional singing that will pair nicely with the other groups taking the stage, like a fine bottle of Diet Dr. Pepper and kettle corn. (Seriously, try it!) This year's show is definitely going to be a night of insanely good performances with Pink singing a brand new song from The Truth About Love, VMA nominees One Direction causing a veritable tidal wave of SQUEES all over the world, Alicia Keys delivering the R&B realness, AND Green Day bringing their signature brand of TLC. (Meaning "Oh Love," not a "No Scrubs" cover, but that would be SO AWESOME.)
