MTV VMA
The MTV VMA’s 07 in a nutshell: Organized chaos.

The network seemed to hand their flagship awards show over to drunk and egotistical artists and cross their fingers that it would end up a diamond in the rough. Well, the show ended up a massive party of rockstar proportions, encompassing debauchery, jealousy, infighting, tension, and frenetic pandemonium. Audience members seemed no more than sheep given jugs of alcohol to curry into pretending to have the time of their lives while sedated on cutaway shots.

Kanye & 50Highlights: Kid Rock and Tommy Lee gets into a fight during Alicia Keys set. Kanye West and 50 Cent coming out together. Kanye West and T-Pain rolling around the Good Life Suite and finishing off their set on the overhanging balcony to sweeping helicopter shots. And Timberlake pleading MTV to “play more videos…enough with reality shows around the Simpsons”. And Nelly Furtado…so hot…

The Bad and the Ugly: everything else. Who thought cramming a rock band into a small hotel suite would be cool? Fall Out Boy, Gym Class Heroes and the Foo Fighters deserved better. Fergie winning Female Artist of the Year? JUSTICE losing out to Rihanna for Best Video of the Year? Beyonce and Shakira as best collaboration? I guess, anything happens in Sin City.

Britney, MTV VMA's 07
And Britney. Poor girl. She tried for a comeback. Lackluster performance, combined with a very tepid reaction from the celebrity audience; it merely reinforced the waning faith of that and the loyalty in fans. There’s that adage, “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas”. It’s truly unfortunate for Britney that the VMA’s were nationally televised.

And POOR Hayden Panetierre stuck in the Neutrogena lounge. Cutting from the flashing lights and drunken stupor of the Southern Hospitality suite to the tame, sparsely filled Neutrogena lounge was reminiscent of those junior high school dances, socially awkward, contrived and without spark. Lastly, Kanye West seen throwing a childish tantrum, reminiscent of previous awards shows for not picking up any Moonmans. Hey, best of luck tomorrow buddy. Maybe you’ll be able to beat the Cent.

Ahh, the 07 VMA’s.. better than previous, but still not the jolt from the defibrillator they needed to come back from its 3 year slump. But haterade aside, I think they’re onto something. Watching the show definitely made me want to go out and party. Which I did, only to end up at a practically empty bar talking to a bartender named Annie.

Beyonce Boobs or no boobs? You be the judge of the blurry split-second wardrobe malfunction shot at Beyoncé’s concert in Toronto.

I like to think I see Beyoncé’s bare breasts, but her publicist says she was wearing a bra that matched her costume. Despite how it may look, I’m sure this will give more exposure for Beyoncé, who seem to have a lot problems on her recent shows.
