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.
The 2009 MTV VMAs saw another Kanye West outburst -- this one aimed at an unsuspecting Taylor Swift, who'd just won Best Female Video and received the business end of a classic (and really poorly directed) Kanye outburst. (And if I were like Beyonce, I'd be like "Don't bring me into this.")
Kanye slllliiiightly manned up and took to his blog -- you know, instead of calling Taylor directly? -- to apologize, proclaiming "I'm not crazy y'all. I'm just real." Real attention hungry?
Anyway, check out another Klassic Kanye all-caps blog post -- this time it's a Taylor apology, and watch the ridiculous moment below. Blame it on the ah-ahhah-ahhh-alcohol? Dude was CHUGGING that Henny like it was his damn day job.
Boom. And there it is. The 2009 MTV VMA stage. The scene is set, and Radio City Music Hall -- a 75-year-old venue -- just got catapulted into 2009. (If Radio City were an old lady, she'd probably have to cover its eyes when Lady Gaga performs live on Sunday, September 13.) The entire VMA stage pretty much looks like the coolest, loudest, most intense music video ever.
Check out more photos of the 2009 MTV VMA set, stage, and floor of Radio City Music Hall, before it gets packed with celebrities. Yes, those big pieces of paper are the much-discussed seat cards, which will soon hold the famous butts of Robert Pattinson, Jay-Z, Paramore, and the VMA nominees and performers! Stay tuned!
Though many call it "The Country Music Capital Of The World," Nashville has a whole lot more to offer than 10-gallon hats and Ford pick-ups. Not that there's anything wrong with Ford...
As evidenced by this week's MTV Featured Artist, Kings Of Leon, a Nashville band can wear pearl snaps down the fronts of their shirts and bump the Grand Ole Opry in their F-150s and still rock the Levi's off of any big-city rock radio station.
This video playlist is a big-up to bands like Raconteurs, Paramore and Be Your Own Pet, who embrace Nashville's musical heritage without letting it define them. Watch a set of new videos from the best of the new Nashville scene, and see if you can smell the country on 'em!
So, Taylor Lautner was running around, all werewolf-y (uhh... spoiler?) in L.A. the other day -- probs getting ready to walk the red carpet at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards -- and he was spotted wearing a pair of slip-on low-cut wingtip boots by Auri Footwear. The name of the boots? And I'm seriously not even making this up here: "The Ladies Man." Yes. Really. Coincidence? DOUBT IT. If I were as hot as Taylor Lautner, I'd ONLY purchase stuff with hot-sounding names to match my jacked-up crazy hotness. When you're Taylor Lautner, you can do that. I mean, these boots might as well be named after him.
Christian Siriano, everyone's favorite Project Runway-er (besides Jay McCarroll) saves you from fashion uncertainty/ un-fierceness with a some quick tips for looking cool in the spring and summer.
For example: What's the best way you can NOT look like a d-bag? Carrying a COOL bag!
Plus, watch Christian give celebs like Megan Fox, Miley Cyrus, The Hills girls and more the once, twice, three-times on the 2009 MTV Movie Awards red carpet.
Who caught "Ready, Set, Go!" during the reel of Breakthrough Performance Male nominees? Specifically during Robert Pattison's Twilight clip? Oh. You did. Of course. (Spoiler: He won!)
Watch Vanessa Hudgens and Jonah Hill intro the Breakthrough Performance Male Award, and, inadvertently Tokio Hotel! Also, since Robert Pattinson won, that kinda means Tokio Hotel did too, right? Yeaaahhh... Because that's how it works!
Style spotters: Kristen Stewart wore a pair of classic Keds "Champion" lace-ups in navy blue while shooting the reunion scene in New Moon in Montepulciano, Italy. (PIVOTAL PLOT POINT!) And it looks like she also wore a beige pair during a LaPush scene.
So, while chances are VERY high that you'll never suck face with Robert Pattinson, you can walk in Bella's shoes. Buy them at Keds.com for just $35. They're perfect for summer, and they're definitely cuter than the staid, plain white Keds Kelly Kapowski always wore on Saved By The Bell, you know?
+ Watch Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson almost-kiss (again) at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards, and, after the jump, watch the New Moon trailer for the fif.teen.billion.th time.
Miley Cyrus' dusty rose Moschino Cheap & Chic dress may've been all business at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards (and HELLLOOOO, Lauren Conrad! Super smokin', also in Moschino), but while Miley's dress was super sophisticated, her turquoise-blue nail polish was pure party. Want turquoise nails like Miley's? Check out Butter London's "Artful Dodger" -- a bright teal that's not only electric but non-toxic. It's $14 and available at ButterLondon.com.
I mean can you just LOOK at Ashley Tisdale on the MTV Movie Awards red carpet? Was she not the HOTTEST thing there? Ashley wore a purple leather dress (the SAME one Keke Palmer wore to the 2009 Nickelodeon’s 2009 Kids' Choice Awards! Whoops!), by Norwegian/ New York designer Elise Øverland, who designed costumes for Aerosmith while she was still in design school. Ashley glammed up the already-glam purple dress with Paul & Joe Sister gladiator heels, a very on-trend Balenciaga belt, and a serious snake ring by Loree Rodkin.
Seriously? This look could BE her Guilty Pleasure album art. Anyway, it's clear that I think Ashley perfected the Movie Awards red carpet.
+ Watch Ashley chat with with Christian Siriano, and share your opinion on her rocker-girl look.
The Miley Cyrus/ Perez Hilton Twitter wars, which have been going on since at least April, continue to continue. This morning, Miley Tweeted about waking up early and feeling like her brain wasn't turned on...
Sad trombone sound. Dude, Eminem getting a faceful of Brüno's sack is funny. But asking Miley if she eats her own doodoo doody? That's just uncalled for. Miley's just a TEENAGER! Can't you just let a girl live and let her Tweet about Jesus and hardcore big it up to God ("hellloooooooooooooooh!?") and hug Lil Wayne when she wins an MTV Movie Award? Don't hate. Appreciate! (Especially since you have more followers than Miley anyway!)
