Kanye West acted like a total fool tonight, getting up on stage and grabbing the mic away from Taylor Swift. She won the Best Female Video award and was on stage, giving her acceptance speech.

Kanye took the mic from her and proclaimed that Beyonce put out the best video on the planet. Poor Taylor, just stood there, not knowing what was happening. Beyonce later accepted her award for Video Of The Year and gave Taylor the stage to finish her thoughts. So classy, go Beyonce! (continue reading…)

Madonna was among the artists who paid tribute to Michael Jackson at the Video Music Awards. She said some really insightful things about meeting him, knowing his legacy, and seeing him as a human being.

Here’s the video and transcript, after the jump! (continue reading…)

We have a partial list, so far, of the winners for tonight’s MTV Video Music Awards. Enjoy!

VIDEO OF THE YEAR: Beyonce, “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It).”

BEST NEW ARTIST: Lady Gaga.

BEST VIDEO THAT SHOULD HAVE WON A MOONMAN: Beastie Boys, “Sabotage.”

BEST BREAKTHROUGH VIDEO: Matt and Kim, “Lessons Learned.”

Lady Gaga was more than strange at tonight’s Video Music Awards. The singer performed her hit song “Paparazzi” and it was, well, interesting, to say the least.

The video itself was just weird. I love her music and everything and this song is great, but there’s really no explanation for this tomfoolery.

MTV will be playing the trailer to the Michael Jackson rehearsal footage, titled, “This Is It” at tomorrow’s VMAs. The footage was taken around three days before he passed away at the age of 50, on June 25th.

Check out the preview for the movie trailer below: (continue reading…)

Wednesday morning, some pranksters got together and installed seven notes on the Great Dome’s temporary scaffolding.

They are musical notes to Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up.” Too funny. Here’s a link to the video of one of the goofs responsible for this tomfoolery (embedding disabled).

Hat tip.

I came across this video (thanks Steve) and my eardrums will never forgive me. It’s a fusion of heavy metal mixed in with a touch of electronic music and crappy auto-tuned vocals.

I had to suffer through Attack Attack! and now, so do you. And what on Earth are these clowns doing with their stances? I think they’re trying to take a crap, and this video is the result: (continue reading…)

I guess this is what happens when the people that you say are going to be performing, know nothing about your plans for them. Yes, I’m talking to you, Jermaine Jackson.

Jermaine did a press conference for the Michael Jackson tribute concert in Vienna, in which he said that Chris Brown, Natalie Cole, and Mary J. Blige would all be performing. It looks like no one told them.

The concert will still go ahead, but it has been postponed until 2010.

You can listen to the brand new Mika song, titled, “Blame It On The Girls” and it’s quite upbeat.

The first single was “We Are Golden”, you can listen to that here. The songs are from Mika’s upcoming album, “The Boy Who Knew Too Much” which will be out in stores on September 21, 2009.

Have a listen and let me know what you think! (continue reading…)

Activision has put Kurt Cobain in some rather unsightly poses in “Guitar Hero 5″ and he looks pretty silly. Ever thought Kurt would be jamming out to “You Give Love A Bad Name” by Bon Jovi? How about rapping along to Public Enemy’s “Bring The Noise”? Kurt was also seen getting up close to sing Megadeth’s “Sweating Bullets”. While all are pretty decent songs, should Kurt’s image be used like this?

The video game makers have really done a number on Kurt and he is probably turning over in his grave as I write this.

This would be something that I would normally blame Courtney Love for. She’s sold him out before, so this wouldn’t be the first time. (continue reading…)

Ellen DeGeneres has announced on her official website that she will be replacing Paula Abdul as the new judge on ‘American Idol’.

Yes, you read that correctly, Ellen!

She said:

Guess what? Go ahead… nope… keep guessing… okay, I’ll just tell you — I’m gonna be the new judge on “American Idol”!

Check out the video: (continue reading…)
