The 2013 MTV Video Music Awards Are Moving To Brooklyn's Barclays Center! (PHOTO)

Posted 3/25/13 5:00 pm EST by in Celebrity, News, Photos, VMAs

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!

PHOTO: One Direction Turn Into Cats At The 2012 MTV VMAs (WARNING: MAY BREAK INTERNET!)

Posted 9/7/12 7:09 pm EST by in Celebrity, Must See, Photos, VMAs

One Direction cat morph!!!!! I KNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!

THIS. THIS, you guys. THIS. There's only this. Forget regret, no day but today. Because today is the day where we discovered the ONE THING (get it?) cuter than One Direction themselves -- it's THE CAT VERSIONS OF ONE DIRECTION, brought to you by the brilliant feline-minded designers of the MTV VMA promos. They skillfully leveraged the power of the internet and united two of my favorite things about being alive: One Direction and cats. THANK YOU BASED GOD!

Now usually I'm a Zayn girl, but the cat versions of Liam and Harry are SO adorable that I'm starting to rethink EVERYTHING that makes them mew-tiful.

PHOTO: Miley Cyrus And Pink's Hair Confirms That Their Full-Body Morph Is Now Complete

Posted 9/7/12 5:40 pm EST by in Celebrity, Must See, VMAs

Miley Cyrus and Pink had hair mind-meld at the 2012 MTV VMAs.

As you all probably know by now, Miley Cyrus recently chopped off her long, brown hair and is now sporting a MUCH edgier short blonde pixie cut! Wanna know who else has a killer blonde pixie cut? Pink! Both gals also happened to be at the 2012 MTV VMAs last night (Pink nailed her performance of "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" while Miley presented) and of course, the entire world noticed that they looked like legit twins! In fact, we'd even say these two give Tia and Tamera from "Sister Sister" a run for their money. (All except for that teeny tiny detail of their being over a decade apart in age.)

Our gurls over at MTV Style totally called it.

In our excitement over this Miley-and-Pink twins development, we may have also totally blacked out and asked our photo team to create the above GEM of an image. Because WHY NOT? IT'S THE INTERNET! And aren't two (blonde) heads always better than one? Especially better when they're both pop stars? Now that's what we call A MEETING OF THE MINDS. (Har. Couldn't resist the Dad joke. Sorry.)

Wiz Khalifa And Amber Rose Taught Us How To Love At The VMAs

Posted 9/7/12 5:01 pm EST by in Celebrity, Photos, VMAs

Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa's love makes us feel safer in this uncertain world.

Dear Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose,

First of all, mazel tov on your baby bump! You were both rocking the parents-to-be glow last night while posing on the 2012 MTV VMA Red Carpet, and you know what? You guys looked GOOD. Wanna know what else looked phenomenal? YOUR LOVE! In addition to slaying the fashion game -- pregnant Amber Rose turned up in a nude lace dress and outfoxed pretty much all of the not-pregnant chicks on the red carpet.

You two were the sweetest, loveliest of couples, fawning over each other, patting Amber's belly, holding hands, and being the nuzzliest couple at the VMAs (besides Katy Perry and Rihanna) but NEVER in that eye-rolly PDA way. Only in the way that's like TEACH ME HOW TO LOVE LIKE THAT. And I know Wiz is OVER THE MOON over your pregnancy, but we're basically kvelling like proud hens over here, too.

Again, we're not into starting feuds all up in this blog, but if the 2012 MTV VMAs were a high school yearbook (and let's be honest -- the VMAs are basically an enormous pop prom), you guys would easily win "Cutest Couple." (Not that you should be pregnant in your high school yearbook.) I'm so obsessed with how cute this entire thing is that I'm counting down the days until we can see your li'l one stuntin' in those Gucci diapers Mac Miller's gonna send over. Also, I'm envisioning playdates with Blue Ivy. We honestly cannot wait to meet the soon-to-be chillest baby ever. And by "meet," we mean obsessively stalk your Twitter feed until the baby comes and you post a Twitpic.

xoxo,

Buzzworthy Baby Watch

Directioners, Rejoice!! One Direction Won Most Share-Worthy Video Because You Voted 27.9 MILLION TIMES!

Posted 9/7/12 4:45 pm EST by in Celebrity, Must See, VMAs

YEAH, B*TCHES. WE WON!

It's time to lay down your swords, Bielebers and Directioners. The battle for "Most Share-Worthy VMA Video" is over! And though we know it was an incredibly close race, there can be only one victor. After what had to be the craziest, most heated Twitter competition of ALL TIME, One Direction won the VMA title for Most Share-Worthy Video for "What Makes You Beautiful" with 27,972,134 total tweets, (just barely) beating out Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend," which garnered 26,563,153 total tweets. Also in the running were Carly Rae Jepsen's much-YouTube'd hit "Call Me Maybe," Gotye's "Somebody That I Used To Know," and Beyoncé's "Countdown" of epic Snuggie Boy fame.

I mean, we're hardly running an electoral college here, but this race ended up being what our founding fathers referred to as "ridick" when they were drafting the Constitution that allows us to freely vote in a democracy. And stuff. But, we digress. We'd instead like to wish Harry, Niall, Louis, Liam, and Zayn a HUGE congrats for winning the VMA title (plus two other VMAs for "Best New Artist" and "Best Pop Video," and to reassure all Beliebers that there are no hard feelings between JB and 1D. In fact, Justin Bieber and One Direction even celebrated last night by cooking a post-VMAs meal together! Because real men aren't afraid to make peace over a rich and creamy alfredo.

See the final results of the Most Share-Worthy VMA Video competition at bing.mtv.com, and watch One Direction perform "One Thing" live at the VMAs and accept their Best Pop Video and Best New Artist VMAs after the jump!

Posted 9/7/12 2:40 pm EST by in Celebrity, Must See, VMAs

Basically, the only imperfection we can find with this GIF wall of the 2012 MTV VMAs is that it doesn't contain any cat GIFs. Other than that? Perfect. Check out the 2012 MTV VMAs in GIFs, and check out the official MTV VMA GIF wall to make your own. (Do it! Don't be scared. It doesn't hurt.) And now if you'll excuse me, I'll be here "thinking special thoughts" about that Zayn GIF.

Taylor Swift Makes The Most Surprised Surprised Face Ever Backstage At The VMAs! (PHOTO)

Posted 9/7/12 1:16 pm EST by in Celebrity, Must See, Photos, Videos, VMAs

Taylor Swift is maybe the most surprised she's ever been.

Taylor Swift is usually the best at what she does, so if she's gonna make a surprised face, you can best believe it's gonna be like, next-level shocked. Backstage at last night's 2012 MTV VMAs, Taylor made the most surprised surprised face we've ever seen, which begs the question: What are you so surprised about, bb girl? Did John Mayer or Taylor Lautner just turn up unexpectedly?? Because we hate when that happens!! Well, at least you're looking GORG in that striped shirt and hot shorts. Whenever we run into our exes we usually end up looking, well, less sartorially inspired.

Regardless of what was actually going on, the "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" singer still managed to summon a look of true spontaneous astonishment at the VMAs. Here are some other guesses as to why: Perhaps Taylor caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror, and was taken by her complete and utter beauty? ("Wow, my makeup is still in place after that rad crowd surf?!") I suppose we'll never know, but props to her for being more surprised than any other surprised person, like, ever! All you do is win, win, win.

+ Watch Taylor Swift perform "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" at the 2012 MTV VMAs, and watch her most surprised faces ever.

Star Spotting: Rihanna Poses With The U.S. Olympic Women's Gymnastics Team At The VMAs & It's PURE BEAUTY! (PHOTO)

Posted 9/7/12 10:00 am EST by in Celebrity, Photos, VMAs

Rihanna is all "GO USA," as she poses with the U.S. Olympic Gymnasts.

Normally, we'd say that getting to pose with Rihanna is THE best moment of your life, right? But, when you're the U.S. Olympic Women's Gymnastics team and have already won a gold medal, we're not sure this theory still stands, you know? It's the Olympics. THE OLYMPICS!

Jordyn Wieber, Aly Raisman, Gabby Douglas, Kyla Ross and McKayla Maroney, otherwise known as the Fierce Five (also known as those girls who had you shouting and crying at your TV during gravity-defying vault routines), were presenters at last night's 2012 MTV Video Music Awards, which meant they got to chill with super-famous peeps like Rihanna. Meanwhile, Rihanna was already enjoying a huge night of her own, what with nailing her A$AP Rocky-assisted performance of "Cockiness" and "We Found Love," and winning the VMA for "Video Of The Year." However, and we mean NO disrespect to Rihanna's stellar delivery, we'd venture to say that it was Rihanna's chance to chat with the Fierce Five, which may have been the highlight of her night! Sure, there's always the possibility that touching Katy Perry's leg was a key moment for Rihanna, and while it's SO INCREDIBLE THAT SHE GETS TO DO THAT, we still think posing with IRL gold medalists is probably the winner. Get it? Winner? Like the U.S. Women's Gymnastics team at the Olympics? OK, OK, too much.

+Watch Rihanna perform "Cockiness" and "We Found Love" with A$AP Rocky at the 2012 MTV VMAs.

Ke$ha, Katy Perry & The Wanted Took Really Cute Instagram Photos At The VMAs! (PHOTOS)

Posted 9/7/12 4:38 am EST by in Celebrity, Music, Photos, VMAs

We're happy Ke$ha didn't let good dental hygiene go by the wayside before the VMAs!

Let us be the first to say that we LOVE what Instagram has done for our 2012 MTV VMAs-watching experience. Now, in addition to seeing what celebrities wear on the red carpet via the power of live blogging, we can basically live in our favorite celebrities' phones and witness their most LOL-worthy moments. Like the one of Ke$ha brushing her teeth while half-naked and holding some ambiguous looking foil! (Perhaps a sandwich cover? Has Ke$ha remembered the importance of brushing after every meal?) And guys, we found some AH-MAZING pics from this year's VMAs. You wanna see more? Well, good, 'cause we're here for you.

Check out some of our favorite celebrity Instagram photos from the VMAs after the jump.
