The 2009 MTV VMAs Release A Batch Of Promo Photos
The 2009 MTV Video Music Awards invade NYC LIVE on September 13 and the network is working overtime to prep the really big show. Already the first groups of performers and presenters have been announced and it sounds like it’s going to be another great show. Here is a batch of new promo pics of folks who will be a part of the MTV VMAs this year:
It was already shaping up to be a pretty huge night, but now, the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards have gotten even bigger. Or at least grittier and glammier. That’s because Jay-Z and Lady Gaga have been booked to perform at the VMAs, joining an already impressive list that includes Taylor Swift, Green Day, Pink and Muse. Jay — whose gnarly “D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)” is up for Best Hip-Hop Video and Best Male Video — will perform a song from his hotly anticipated The Blueprint 3 album, due September 11. The glittery Gaga — who, along with Beyoncé, leads everyone with nine VMA nods — will perform a single from her breakthrough The Fame album. “I’m simply gutted to be both a performer and nominee at the 2009 VMAs,” Gaga said. “In fact, I’m so happy, I could die.” In addition to the performers, there are some big-name presenters to add to the show too. Nelly Furtado, Miranda Cosgrove and “Gossip Girl” star Leighton Meester — who is up for Best Pop Video and Best Direction for Cobra Starship’s “Good Girls Go Bad” — will be on hand to, well, hand out the awards. They join Katy Perry, Ne-Yo and Chace Crawford, who have already been announced as VMA presenters. But who will they be presenting the awards to? Well, that’s up to you. Voting for the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards is under way over at VMA.MTV.com. Verizon Wireless subscribers can also vote by texting VMA to 97979. The VMAs will broadcast live from New York on September 13 at 9 p.m. Russell Brand will once again serve as host for the evening. Trust us: It’s going to be a night you just can’t miss.
I can’t help it, I’m a sucker for the VMAs — always have been, always will. I can’t help but look forward to the show each year. Because the show is gonna be back in NYC this year, well, you know they’re gonna turn the mother out. I’m really hoping and crossing my fingers (and toes) that they’re gonna bring out our dear Britney Spears for a surprise performance. Last year was her year to look beautiful and collect her trophies … this year is her year to sing for her supper (as it were). Whether she performs or not, I’m pretty sure that secret will be hush-hush until the day of the show (or very close to). I can’t wait to find out, hopefully in person :)

I think Russell is a genius. His humor may have been a little out of place last year, but he must have done something right if they brought him back this year

@Kaci – OMFG! Britney lipsynches? You mean, out of all this entire time I thought she was singing live and dancing at the same time it’s just a big lie? Wow! You should probably go to some newspapers and give them the scoop! Hey, you might even get some $$$ as a bonus for being so witty. Anyways, Breatheheavy confirmed that she won’t be performing but I really hope she does perform… if she doesn’t she’ll still be the talk of the show, like always. I also think that white bikini photoshoot was a promo for the VMA’s as well.

Hey Trent, from Singapore! I really think you should blog more about Taylor Swift, Katy Perry and the likes. Loving your blog anyway, lots of love! xo :)

Is there a schedule anywhere of locations of these performances in the city?

Hopefully Britney makes an appearance at least. I also heard that the pics of her in a white swimsuit were for a VMA promo…possibly the “I Feel Pretty” spot from West Side Story that is supposed to be directed by Wade Robinson.
