1. Russell Brand was a MESS. Someone send him back to England in a rowboat. I love when people who basically fuck up their own lives get rewarded by getting gigs like this. And he was insulting the Jonas Brothers, who have more class in their little pinky than Russell ever did..

2. Sam and Lindsay - who the hell cares???

3. Rhianna - Work it, girl. Just like Beyonce does.

4. Lil Wayne - fug, fug, fug.

5. That young girl from Paramore better watch it - she's looking like Kathy Griffin..

6. Britney actually looked GOOD! And HEALTHY!! Whoda thunk??

7. Finally, what the HELL happened to Christina Aguilera's face???

It's a sad day when Britney is (one of) the best dressed femaled there. The guys...don't get me started. I know it's the MTV Awards, and you're supposed/allowed to be "cool", but c'mon!

did you guys see the pic on dlisted of some guy who literally wore boxers, a wife beater, socks and slip on shoes?

Wow, Ashley is pretty big already!

Yellow Rose said...

Sheckler seriously needs to grow his hair back out. Kid is freakin' adorable, but SO much cuter w/ longer hair. Kinda random that he was there-where was Paul Rodriguez Jr?

brendalove@gmail.com said...

IT'S BRITNEY, BITCH!

I'm pulling for this gal.

DJ AM and Travis Barker - talk about Z list hell.

selenakyle said...

Yay for Britney--whew--finally looking normal again.

Demi looks big here.

SamRo is gonna rot her teeth out with so much Red Bull. Just do some blow for chrissakes if you need that much jazz all the time.

And on a serious note--wonder how Katy Perry keeps from having camel toes in those shiny tight little shorts outfits?

I understand not all women have fat down *there* but last I checked we all have an indentation, at least...

Anonymous said...

Read at another gossip site that Ashley is having twins.

Why is Christina imitating Britney?

jax said...

i love Russell Brand! about time someone said what we're all thinking about Jonas' and Bush..all of it.
and Jordin Sparks- career suicide.

Lilo's hair was wack.

Lil Wayne sucked. overrated-would rather see Chris Brown perform.

Kanye was great- people do need to open their minds with him, its not all rap.

Britney winning was a joke. that video was shot not long after her last VMA's so why are we rewarding it??

lutefisk said...

Rhianna was the only one out there that seemed to really work.
Christina has finished her mission
to transform into a 40 year old porn star.
Whynwas Demi there?

Sinjin said...

Ditto everything Jax said, 'cept for Britney. She clearly got the sympathy vote because she spent a year in Crazy Town and came back out after so many people exploited her. Remember how seriously looney she was? The umbrella episode, the head shaving, crotch shots, pap boyfriends, Sam Lutfi. Hell, we had bets on her in the Dead Pool! Folks with heart are just pulling for her that's all [not to say you don't have heart, Jax ;-)]

Maja With a J said...

You guys can all imagine the sound I made when Slash and Shia came out together, right?

Also, anyone else think LiLo sounded a bit congested? Hmm.

kimi said...

Adrian- love the comment on Christina's finished mission to be the 40 year old porn star.LOL

captivagrl said...

ashley s. should fire her stylist. that dress is awful. there are so many cute maternity dresses.

MnGddess said...

Sorry - I know as well as anyone that the Jonas Bros purity rings are a silly PR stunt, but I like the touch. It's nice to see something a little decent on MTV. Russell Brand is a scummy sex addict and a lousy comedian.

Emma31 said...

I agree with Jax and Lisa with the whole Britney thing. You know all the other nominees were like "are you fucking kidding me!"

That show was a HOTTTT MESS!! so unorganized and sloppy.

Xtina...don't EVER wear that black spandex outfit again.

ElsieFire said...

Okay, is that some seriously weird optical illusion, or did Jordin Sparks have her head shrunk? Maybe has something to do with the way her brain fell out of her head after those comments she made...

PunkiMeowMeow said...

I got a kick out of Russell Brand. He was not PC which was refreshing!

The lead singer of Paramore kicked some ass!

I am routing for Britney to make a complete comeback. She looked great too!

Why was Demi there?

Tania said...

Don't get me wrong, I think Brand is a wanker - but he did have a point... ;-)
Besides, he was THERE to stir shit. Why else?

jbeebs said...

yellow rose- Ryan Sheckler has a show om MTV-that's why he was there.

I agree he looks so cute with his hair longer.

lyz said...

OMG, is that Ashley Simpson or Morticia Addams???

Sydney in Wonderland said...

I really like Russell Brand, and have for a while. I think the comments about the purity rings went a little far, eventually. But, hey, if you promote something in the public eye (like the Jonas Bros and the rings), it's up for discussion. And mockery. Quite UNLIKE celebrity parents who don't pimp out their kids. I'm also aware that little bit references an old argument, but I thought I'd tie it in.

Although, I liked that John Legend showed off his purity ring-free hands while Jordin Sparks chastised. And the comments during the aftershow (I forget who by) about Russell being a sexual compulsive were a little inappropriate, if you ask me.

hotchacha said...

Anyone else think that the singer from Tokio Hotel could be the unholy love child of Peter Burns of Dead or Alive in the 80s and Bjork?

lutefisk said...

thank you kimi

Unknown said...

I'm impressed, SamRo doesn't actually look like Keith Richards jr. for once. Amazing what washing up and a lil bit of makeup can do.

Unknown said...

Britney looked amazing(!!), katy perry looked like an obnoxious twat as per usual, xtina shouldnt have worn those pants as she seems to have put on a *tin* bit of weight and spandex isnt forgiving, rhianna looked good, ciara's hair looked ridiculous, you didnt show any pictures of Pink but she also looked incredible and Tokio Hotel looked cool too.

:D

Julie said...

omfg Ashlee, she went from 100 pounds to like 200 in this pregnancy :( Is she really having twins, wth is up with this multiples explosion? Can't prove you're a real parent unless you have a litter?
But I love Ashlee anyway, so I'll be easy on her. I don't think she went out and had IVF or anything so...yeah.

Bar Rafeli, I wish I had her body.
Britney looked awesome.
Christina looks like Donatella Versace.
I hate Katy Perry in general. I'd never heard of her until the reviews of her show here, then my one friend who swears shes "bi" is like omfg i love this soooong. I find it to be degrading to women who don't just kiss girls to be contrary and to turn boys on.

hotchacha said...

Really, Julie? I think I'd find it hard to feel degraded by a woman who wants to kiss another woman for rebellious or other reasons.

Now if the woman chose to kiss me and I elected to feel degraded by it, that might be different.

lutefisk said...

Even Mclovin coudn't save the night.

Ellen said...

I love Russell Brand, but even I must admit he sucked balls last night. A real shame...

Beth said...

OMG! Have Tokio Hotel broken in the US?

Why? Why? They were so much better when they stayed in Germany and left the rest of the world alone.

Unknown said...

Every single time I've ever heard a Katy Perry interveiw I've though "My GAWD she's insufferable..." and then I have to swtich it off, so I'm with Julie on this one. The sooner that horrible "I kissed a girl because it's sorta naughty but not really, mostly I'm just kinda rebeling against my religious parents a little, but only a tiny bit, hee hee" song stops being played over and over again the better.

And as for Jordan Sparks... Wow, way to overreact to something that's more likely a tidy little PR move than an actual pledge of pureness anyway...

Amber said...

Russel did the best he could I thought, Americans didn't seem to get the humour.. Poor guy had to apologize to the Jonas Brothers. How humiliating.


Rihanna was pretty good, Pink's performance was cool with her blowing things up.

That's about it.

blankprincess said...

I didn't watch, but seeing this picture with Shia and Slash together just made me think one thing...


"HARRIET'S GONNA EXPLODE!"

shakey said...

Why can't this awards show ever get it's shit together? The crowd was dead - even the red carpet lacked energy. Probably because they tried too hard. What made me laugh was the MuchMusic VJ who announced the "fans" storming the Jonas Bros stage and at the Paramore "concert" were paid extras. She then asked why Paris, with all her money, couldn't afford proper hair extensions.

I liked the concept of the party in the hotel rooms. I didn't think it was that much of a disaster.

Didn't find Russell Brand funny. To be honest, I felt old watching that show - I just don't find very many acts to have real talent. Now here's a question - when does MTV actually play videos?

Maja With a J said...

blankprincess - I literally sat up straight on my couch and went "oooohhhhh!!!!".

It was a very happy moment. I know I said the other day that I was a bit tired of Shia but it turns out I haven't quite had enough LaBoeuf *LOL*


All in all, it was a pretty boring show though. I thought Russell Brand did a pretty good job but people - performers, presenters and audience alike - seemed quite un-enthused.

Binky Melnik said...

@MonkeyHelperL: Jordin was reacting to Russell Brand's comments, and not the kids' rings.

Speaking of which, I'd kept reading how Brand was hoping this was his big break in the US. I'm sure it was: now everyone knows him as that insufferably boring, unfunny Brit. Wow!

Man, I'd like to punch Li'l Wayne in the throat. Not only did his own act suck donkey balls, but he tried as hard as he could to ruin Kid Rock's as well. Sure was happy to see he couldn't do it!

In what alternate universe are we living where the Pussyc--t Whores can beat Chris Brown for Best Dance Video? Are they blowing all the voters, too?

It wasn't until the aftershow show that I discovered that the lead creature of Tokio Hotel was a boy. If they're German, who do they all sound Scandinavian? And why does that lead creature look like Bjork, who's Scandinavian? Is wool being pulled over my eyes?

What on earth was in the crotchal region of Katy Perry's outfit? It looked like a large piece of cardboard. What was it doing there? Is there some new bodyshaper of which I'm unaware? Was hers ill-fitting, or was she wearing the wrong size? Had she bought a cheap rip-off of a real Spanz item, and will se regret it when she watches the tape?

Christina Aguilera has been and can be still really pretty. Why has she chosen not to be? Has she chosen to give up motherhood and take up pole dancing? The sooner she does, the sooner we can watch her downward spiral, which is weird because to balance life out, Britney is apparently on an upward trajectory. Good on her! Now if she'd just spit her gum out for once in her life, I'd quit laughing at her TV appearances.

Rihanna looked 500 kinds of amazing, which is great because I'm sick to death of Beyonce. Yay! And Demi looked awful; that dress did her no favors at all! The waistline and hem were both two high, doing unflattering things to both her waist and her legs. She's way too fabulpous to look that bad.

But I'm still angry about having had to sit through Li'l Wayne TWICE. I hope he trips on his jeans and breaks his sorry ass, which is hanging out in the wind.

Binky Melnik said...

Damn; changed my thought in mid-sentence. This:

The sooner she does, the sooner we can watch her downward spiral

should have been:

The sooner she does, the sooner we can stop watching her downward spiral

mooshki said...

Wow, Britney looks amazing.

Jordin Sparks, I love you.

I wish Mandy Moore and DJ AM's fake relationship had turned real - he seems so much nicer than the losers she dates for real.

I CANNOT WAIT for Seth Green and Breckin Meyer to be on "Heroes." I love them both so much.

slappywhyte said...
