Last night, right before the 2008 MTV VMAs aired live on MTV, we were treated to a “bonus” episode of The Hills to help feed our addiction for the very popular show (and possibly to help lure viewers to the network to tune into the VMAs afterward). There was quite a bit of crying in last night’s ep …

… crying that was brought on by mean boys. After the jump, find out what the cryin’ was all about …

In preparation for their individual arrivals at the 2008 MTV VMAs yesterday a group of celebs of varying importance gathered together at the center of the Celebrity Universe yesterday afternoon. Can you guess which celebs got together for a bite to eat at The Ivy in West Hollywood, CA yesterday afternoon before they all made their way to the Paramount Studios Lot for the VMAs?

Except for the actual VMAs itself (the the subsequent parties afterward), this lunch at The Ivy yesterday was the biggest conglomeration of celebrity that took place in Hollywood yesterday. After the jump, find out who was in attendance …

Here are a couple of really cute pics of Gavin Rossdale chillin’ with his eldest son Kingston James McGregor here in SoCal yesterday afternoon. While Gavin was sittin’ back, little Kingston was playing his little heart out on the drums with one of his friends:

Even tho we’ve yet to get our first look at Gwen Stefani and Gavin’s newborn son Zuma Nesta Rock, I am quite content seeing all the new cute pics of Gavin and Kingston all over SoCal these days. It’s interesting that Gav and Kingston are spending so much alone time together, away from the new baby. Perhaps Gavin is really trying to reinforce the bonding process with his eldest son so that he doesn’t feel left out from all the attention that the baby might be getting at home. Whatever the reason, I think that Gavin and Kingston make an awesome duo … clearly the musical skillz run in the family.

Sad news for all y’all Channing Tatum fans who may be dreaming about the day that you might get to runway away with the lad to do unspeakably naughty things together … homeboy went and got himself engaged to his beautiful girlfriend (former Step Up co-star) Jenna Dewan over the weekend. They’re gettin’ hitched, y’all:

Channing Tatum showed off some smooth moves in Step Up, but nothing compares to the proposal he choreographed for his girlfriend Jenna Dewan. Over the weekend, Tatum asked her to marry him in Maui in front of close friends invited under the radar to surprise Dewan, a source confirms exclusively to PEOPLE. He presented a ring by Neil Lane. The Cullman, Ala., native first met Dewan, 27, on the set of their 2006 dance hit Step Up, but the pair has always remained coy about their dating life.

Aww … well, I suppose congrats are in order ;) I keed, I keed … I am very happy that Channing and Jenna have decided to make it official. They make a very cute couple and they always look so happy together. I was able to see the two of them gettin’ all cozy together at the premiere event for Stop-Loss earlier this year and they really do seem made for one another. He is insanely hot, she is incredibly beautiful … what more could you ask for? Even tho it pains me to think that Channing will soon be off the market, I wish the two of them a lifetime of happiness together! Congrats!!

Nicole Richie and her beautiful daughter Harlow Winter opted out of attending the 2008 MTV VMAs this year, choosing instead to remain in NYC for New York Fashion Week. In between attending various fashion shows this weekend, Nicole and Harlow stepped out for a quick trip to Starbucks. It looks like someone is getting an early start to her Hollywood “It” Girl training:

You can tell by Harlow’s completely empty Starbucks cup that the little doll really <3s her coffee ... so much so that she also tried to get her hands on her mommy's coffee drink as well ;) But seriously, that little baby girl is the cutest thing ever ... she is an absolute doll and I foresee her growing up to be a stunning beauty. She may or may not have Hollywood "It" Girldom in her future (after all, she may choose not to make a splash on the scene when she grows up) but one thing is clear, she is deffo going to grow into a beautiful girl someday. SO CUTE! Don’t you just want to squeeze those cheeks?

Okay, even tho I already devoted an entire post to Britney Spears’s triumphant night at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards, any mention of the show by ALL of the press (including THIS report from Time magazine) seems to devote a good portion of their reporting to Miss Britney Spears. But, there were other people and other things going on at the VMAs yesterday … here are a few pics of some of the folks who walked the red carpet yesterday (it should be noted that Britney did not walk the red carpet, choosing instead to keep her revelation of the night strictly for the show itself):

For the most part, I found the red carpet pretty tame … I mean, there really weren’t that many “hot messes” to speak of. Of course you had your usual poor fashion choices (that red and black dress did not really work on P!nk for me, nor did I like Rihanna’s outfit choice … Xtina looked hawt!) but that’s to be expected. Personally, I had a hard time focusing while on the red carpet … we were lined up in the blazing SoCal sun hours before the first celeb walked the carpet … it wasn’t that pleasant. I did get to snap some fun pics and meet a few very COOL folks … but I’ll post those pics a bit later on.

As for the show itself, I have not yet been able to watch it in its entirety, properly but I did manage to catch most of it on the huge screens that were plastered all over the VIP green room last night. After the jump, check out some pics from the show itself and take one more look at Xtina Aguilera’s amazing performance …

OMG OMG OMG OMG … seriously, that was pretty much all I could muster last night as Britney Spears won her first ever award, Best Female Video, at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards last night. I was so fortunate to be on hand to actually watch our dear Britney not only win her first MTV VMA but two more VMAs thruout the night. After her Best Female win, she went on to win Best Pop Video and the biggest award of the night Video of the Year. I will do a proper VMAs recap post but this one is all about my girl, Britney Spears.

To get the night started off right, Brit Brit took to the stage in a beautiful sparkly silver dress and with her shy and coy manner wished the VMAs a Happy 25th Birthday and officially kicked off the night’s festivities … then she she just sat back with her steadfast manager Larry Rudolph at her side and collected awards at regular intervals thruout the night — which were all absolutely well-deserved:

It was Britney’s night! The pop star made a triumphant return to MTV’s Video Music Awards, winning three Moonmen, including the night’s big honor, video of the year, for her hit “Piece of Me.” “I’m in shock,” the grateful singer said after accepting her third award of the night from NBA star Kobe Bryant. Spears, of course, was the subject of much speculation and excitement after word spread that she would be opening the ceremony. She looked a little nervous at first, but proved to be in fighting form in a vintage silver Versace minidress. After being escorted from her dressing room, Spears took center stage, clutched the microphone tightly and announced, “I’m here tonight to celebrate a very important birthday.” Continued Spears: “This is the 25th Video Music Awards – and it starts right now.” … Moments later, Spears was back to accept her first VMA ever. Nominated for 16 Moonmen in the past, the pop star nabbed the first award of the night, best female video, for her song “Piece of Me.” Spears gave a brief speech, thanking God for “just blessing me like this,” calling out her two sons and dedicating the award to her fans. “This is for you,” she said … Spears later picked up her second award for best pop video, also for “Piece of Me.” “I’m speechless,” she chiped as she offered thanks to manager Larry Rudolph, who accompanied her to the show, and her fans.

And then, of course, she took home the last and biggest award of the night, Video of the Year. It really was Britney’s night. Absolutely everyone was talking about her from beginning to end. I just find it so remarkable how much everybody loves her … even the haters can’t stop talking about her. She was absolutely triumphant last night and it was a beautiful sight to behold. After the jump, check out pics of Britney with her 3 awards, pics of her in the press room, pics of her in the audience with Larry Rudolph and a Beyotch Stole My Look! that was too obvs to let pass by …
