September 13, 2010 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

Last night music’s heavy hitters walked a white carpet and of course Lady Gaga didn’t disappoint with her notorious penchant for wearing the oddest garb. However, Taylor Swift managed to steal the show again this year with her song about the Kanye West debacle that overshadowed last year’s MTV VMAs.

Taylor, standing barefoot on an all black stage, belted out her song ‘Still an Innocent’ that was written in response to West and his ridiculous ego. Kanye also performed at the 2010 MTV VMAs. Clad in an all red suit he played pranced around with some ballerinas on a white stage singing ‘Runaway’ which is being tossed around as ‘Toast for the Douchebags.’

Eminem also took the stage post bout in rehab and laid down two songs from his new album ‘Recovery.” Em, in his black jacket and hooded, stomped around the stage pleasing the crowd with ‘Not Afraid.’ Rihanna and her Ronald McDonald red hair joined Eminem on stage to sing the crowd favorite ‘Love the Way You Lie.’

The entire show was tame and lacked any real ‘shock’ factor that usually follows with tales of douchebaggery, celebs saying/doing naughty things or Eminem getting a face full of Borat’s rump. Even Lindsay Lohan making a debut after being jailed for being a drunken ho and rehabbed for being a crack Snorlax didn’t really wow anyone.

Lady Gaga, who took home 8 accolades, and her meat dress tried to make you clutch your pearls, but we have already seen this cold cut couture on the cover of Vogue (Japan). Gaga also announced the name of her upcoming album after winning Video of the Year for ‘Bad Romance.’

MTV VMA’s 2009 Winners List, Photos and Videos

September 14, 2009 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

After wasting over 2 hours of my life on the nuttery that was last night’s 2009 MTV VMA’s I bring you the highlights.

First Kanye West gave us all further proof he is a bumbling moron with no class. The “rapper” stormed the stage to take the mic away from Best Female video Winner Taylor Swift to announce that Beyonce should have won. From this moment on the show was tense and awkward. As did tried mentioned West’s name the crowd booed and began chanting Swift’s name.

The only one highlight in the show was the revealing of the extended “New Moon” trailer. It leaked to the net a few days before the show aired, but at least it was actually a decent trailer.

Lady Gaga also killed herself on stage as if things were weird enough. The bloody mess followed the Swift/West debacle so it was a bit overshadowed, but odd non the less.

Madonna also gave a speech clearly read from a teleprompter in honor of Michael Jackson.

Kanye West Interrupts Taylor Swift VMA Win with His Douche Baggery – Video

September 13, 2009 By Cara Harrington 4 Comments

I make it no secret that I find Kanye West a disgusting human being and that is sad coming from a blogger. However, I feel no remorse in anything negative I have ever sad about him. After showing up to the 2009 MTV VMA’s carrying a bottle of Hennessy (literally) he stormed the stage during the award for Best Female Video after Taylor Swift beat out Beyonce.

West interrupted her acceptance speech to announce “Beyonce’s video was the best video of the year!” A horrified Taylor was left speechless and a crowd booed Kanye. So far, the rest of the evening was a pity fest for her and I genuinely feel terrible for her.

I wish Pink would have won that way when he tried to storm the stage she would have cut the bitch and done us all a favor. I know I probably sound like a kindergarten teacher who moonlights as a waitress at Hooters, but he should be ashamed of himself. You can have all the talent in the world, but when you are that classless it doesn’t matter.
