It was yet another remarkable and memorable year of performances, comedy, and fashion as the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards took over Paramount Studios in Hollywood, California tonight (September 7).
With “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” stud Russell Brand at the helm, we saw amazing performances by Rihanna, Paramore, Kanye West, Christina Aguilera, Kid Rock, and Katy Perry, to name a few.
Her arrival was one of the most anticipated of the night, and Ashley Tisdale definitely didn’t disappoint the paparazzi outside of the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards.
The “High School Musical” hottie showed up turning heads in a sexy white sequined dress along with a pair of silver strap heels and matching silver bracelets.
She’s up for the Best Female Video award at the 2008 MTV Video Music awards tonight, and it’s going to be a big night for Rihanna.
The “Take A Bow” songstress arrived ready to get the paparazzi attention in a strapless black-top-with-brushed-gold-bottom dress and a sassy short hairdo with a hint of blonde accent.
Representing the world of country music, Taylor Swift emerged as hot as ever on the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards red carpet earlier this evening (September 7).
Not only is she up for the award for Best New Artist, but Miss Swift is also putting on the red carpet correspondent hat as she stationed in the arrivals area to chat with fellow celebrities on what they’re wearing.
Wearing a sexy leopard print dress with heels, Paris Hilton was on hand for the MTV VMA 2008 Press Conference held in Los Angeles, California on Thursday (September 4).
Besides putting in work for the big awards show (which takes place this Sunday, September 7), Miss Hilton is also readying for the big Toronto Film Festival premiere of the movie “Paris, Not France”.
Ready to take the stage this Sunday night (September 7), it has been confirmed that Britney Spears will be opening the show at the MTV Video Music Awards.
“MTV has long played an important role in my career. How can I not be there to kick off their 25th VMAs?” Spears told press. “I’m excited to open the entire show, to say hi to my fans and to be nominated.”
Taking care of a few daily errands, Britney Spears was spotted out and about shopping for home decor in Beverly Hills on Monday afternoon (August 25).
The “Gimme More” singer sported a white tanktop paired with denim capri pants as she sniffed away at the candles before picking up a few items.
Congrats to Michelle S. on winning our MTV VMA prize pack.
What did Michelle win? Kanye sunglasses, Beyonce Tanktop, Rihanna notebook, and CDs from Justice, Kanye West, Amy Winehouse, Rihanna, & Beyonce.
Here's some snaps from the Bocaj vodka party at Tao at the Venetian over the weekend. Various geezers, skanks and dweebies were in attendance. Like Travis Barker and his posse (above). Jamie Foxx (ugh) was in attendance and he was luring women to his ass for shots via mini-flashlight.
...where he attempted to pour a little somethin' in a lucky dreamgirl's mouth. She was plucked from the crowd with the help of Jamie's trusty little flashlight.Ugh, what kinda moral compass does that chick have? I'm totally hating and I so would have been up there. Anyway, others attended. Janet Jackson and Ashanti look like they escaped the jungle gym they had been tethered to. Why does Pauly Shore get to go to everything? Is the Comedy Store in L.A. that much of a money-maker? Seriously, he gets tons of skirt and I don't get it. There's the short guy from "Entourage". He's sort of my type, short and Irish, but he might want to have taken a disco nap after his last bender. He looks a little dehydrated. Shar Jackson looks like the pinnacle of style and sophistication. You know she's reveling in her triumph of looking slightly less trashy than Britney. And is that Weird Al Yankovic? No, it's Cisco Adler and his long balls. Ugh.

More photos from the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards after party held at TAO Nightclub inside the Venetian Hotel and Casino after the jump.
The beautiful people (take that with a grain of salt) celebrated that terrible awards show far into the night. Seriously, I've seen bits and pieces and it was an ungodly mess. People performing from guest suites? What the hell? Who thought this mess up? Keep it simple, stupid. I know MTV feels like they have usher our asses into the space-age but please. Have one theatre with a stage and a host, and some hot performances. It's worked very well in the past. Otherwise you end up with insurance concerns about Criss Angel Greasefreek's magic mirrors and Britney high on cough syrup stumbling around in a fog and Kanye setting his butt plug for "full-on whine" and it just sucks. Anyway, here's the party lowdown. Sidenote: Jamie Foxx blows and this is a known quantity.
For many show guests and workers, the first stop was the poolside party at the Palms, site of the awards presentation. Hosted by Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Garner, the "official" post-show event promised an open bar and an ample buffet.Foxx was gregarious, dancing and rapping on stage as he poured fruity shots from a bottle directly into the mouths of thirsty women. He was briefly joined by Quincy Jones, who sipped from a pink drink as he boogied alongside a bevy of beauties.
Rapper, Kanye West, stormed out of the MTV Video Music Awards last night when he didn't win in any of the five categories in which he'd been nominated. Making a scene backstage in front of all kinds of media, as well as the crew for the show, West started yelling about the indignity of it all while the show as coming to a close, according to Billboard:
"That's two years in a row, man ... give a black man a chance," West said, stomping around his entourage and directing his comments at a reporter. "I'm trying hard man, I have the ... number one record, man."Now, I'm not sure if this is some Andy Kaufman-type performance art shit going on, or not, but I'm really hoping that if he has the number record that he could give two shits whether or not he wins a silly little statue with an astronaut on it. Either that, or MTV doesn't care about black people.

Despite the fact that she’s gimping around with the aid of a cane, Rihanna continues to please her fans by upholding all of her scheduled concert dates.
Most recently, the Umbrella singer wowed fans in attendance at the Rheinland Pfalz open-air concert in Mainz, Germany (August 18). Wearing a revealing black top, the 19-year-old Barbados native was definitely in character for the night.

MTV announced who will be performing at their VMA Awards on Sept. 9. Timbaland is so hot. He's the hottest bear in hip-hop. If you watch the JT video for "My Love", notice when he's standing there with JT and they're making some kind of dice rolling motion or something. What it brings to mind is them indicating that they totally jo'ed the night before. If this means Tim is into freaky white boys, then I'm in!
*crickets*
Right. Anyway, he's serving as "maestro" of this show. Whatever that is. He's also play a set. Joining him in performing will be Lily Allen (banned or not?), Fall Out Boy (Estee Lauder), Chris Brown (yawn), Foo Fighters (god, now I'm feeling my age and they are too), Rihanna (Beyonce is so over), Kanye West (hot fashion, a little light in the loafers) and Amy Winehouse. Hopefully Amy will do something spectacular like sick up on stage or wear those same ballet flats she's been trudging around in for a year. Those things must have some stank on em'.
