Last week we learned the exciting news that our dear Britney Spears will be paid tribute to at the the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards and today we get to check out a new promo image of Britney‘s involvement at this year’s VMAs. While previous we got to see a video promo today we get to see a photo. As you may recall, we also first learned of a list of performers who are rumored to be performing in the tribute but, alas, that news has yet to be confirmed. Click below to check out the new promo image and read more about Britney‘s involvement at this year’s MTV VMAs.

Earlier today we learned that the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards will be paying tribute to our dear living legend Britney Spears in honor of her contributions to pop music and pop culture. Altho NO OFFICIAL WORD has yet been released about what, exactly, this tribute will entail a curious document has leaked its way to the Internets that claims to list the performers who will be participating in the Britney Spears Tribute. To be honest, I don’t believe that this list is official … BUT, just in case it turns out to be the real deal, well, I guess I should share it with all y’all. Check it out below.

The 2011 MTV Video Music Awards just became a MUST SEE event because last night it was announced that the VMAs will pay tribute to the legendary Britney Spears. In years past, MTV pop music icons like Michael Jackson, Madonna and Janet Jackson have been honored with special tributes to their lasting impact on music and pop culture. This year, it has wisely been decided that Britney Spears will become the latest MTV icon to be honored in this way. Click below to see some promo photos and the promo video announcement of the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards Tribute to our dear Britney Spears.

The nominations for the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards were announced late last night and provided some surprises … surprises mostly about who WASN’T nominated for any awards. While Adele (yay!) and Katy Perry (boo!) managed to score multiple nominations, Rihanna — arguably one of the most successful pop stars around — did not score a single nomination. HMMM.

Completely without announcement or comment, Madonna uploaded video from the 1989 MTV Video Music Awards where she performed her iconic song Express Yourself. For some strange reason that I can’t quite understand, Maddy seems intent on reminding us of how amazing her song Express Yourself is. In case you’ve never seen it or just want to watch again, you can check out the video below.

Yesterday, on the always kind invitation of MTV, I was able to attend the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards. I’ve been very lucky to be able to attend the VMA for the past few years so I am always grateful for the opportunity. Sure, this year’s show didn’t have as much bang as last year’s show but, in all honesty, it’s a blast to be able to attend these shows in person. I worked the red carpet before the show got underway and was able to talk to a few of the VMA attendees … here are some of the photos I snapped yesterday:

I got to talk to the cast of the US version of Skins and shared with them how much I love the original British series … they promise me that the US version will be as gritty as the original and they seemed confident that fans of the original series will love their version. We shall see. I also got to talk with Alan Ritchson about his work on Blue Mountain State and as Aquaman on Smallville. He was such a sweetie, very funny and kind … he promises more fun from the second season of BMS, I cannot wait!! I also got to meet Dina Deena Nicole Cortese, the newest castmember on MTV‘s Jersey Shore. She was very sweet, still humble and promises is more fun to watch than Angelina Jolie Pivarnik (who was cut from the show for season 3). All in all, I had fun on the carpet and at the show itself. MTV is always so good to me … I have to send out lots of love and many thanks to Tamika for taking such great care of me this year. I tend to have really great experiences at the VMAs and I am always thankful to be invited to the party.

Tonight David and I have big plans to stay IN and relax. He is home from Vegas, our travels are finished for a while … it’ll be very nice to just decompress. Hope your Mondays are going well!!

So … last night MTV threw its biggest party of the year, the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards … and despite attempts to hype up the possible drama that might’ve gone down on the show ended up giving us a fairly quiet and painfully drama-free awards show … much to many people’s chagrin. I was able to attend the show last night and from my perspective the show was OK but clearly lacking the excitement from VMA shows from days of yore. Here are a few photos from the red carpet arrivals last night:

Again, for me the carpet was kinda lackluster … kinda quiet. The Jersey Shore kids came out, some of the nominees did as well but really there wasn’t anything to get all excited about the entire time. I will say that Ciara looked the best on the carpet last night. Her dress was amazing … she was a vision just walking down the carpet. There weren’t too many fugly looks … but, as you might expect, the Jersey Shore kids brought way too much tan to the snow white carpet. After the jump, check out some photos from the show itself and find out what the Washington Post had to say about the 2010 MTV VMAs. I think you’ll find their sentiments echo the sentiments of many who watched last night …

The iconic Cher, a diva in her 60s, made a surprise appearance at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards last night when she came out to present the last award of the night — Best Video. Cher stunned the crowd when she sauntered out in an outfit that was very reminiscent of the costume she wore in her 1989 music video If I Could Turn Back Time. When that video was released, it was considered so risqué that MTV would only air it after 11pm. These days, it looks very tame in comparison to the music videos that air thruout the day on various music television channels. Here are a couple photos of Cher at the VMAs last night:

She is 40 years older than most of last night’s attendees and hasn’t had a major hit since 1998, but Cher was the name on everybody’s lips at the MTV Video Music Awards. The singer stole the show in a barely-there outfit reminiscent of the costume made famous in her video for her 1989 song If I Could Turn Back Time. It was an updated version of the controversial jewelled outfit, complete with her trademark over-the-top curled hair and leather jacket. At 64, Cher’s choice to recreate the famous look was certainly brave. The see-through black body stocking left very little to the imagination, but the singer proved she still has an incredible body. She acknowledged the age difference between her and the audience when she arrived on stage to present Lady Gaga with the award for Video of the Year for Bad Romance. ‘I have shoes older than most of these nominees,’ she told a cheering audience. ‘I’m the oldest chick with the biggest hair in the littlest costume. ‘Back in the day, I used to get thrown off MTV for wearing things like this that seem so tame now,’ she added. ‘That’s when Lady Gaga was Baby Gaga.’

Each year the MTV VMAs provides a moment that everyone talks about the following day … this year, much like last year, I suspect the talk will be about Taylor Swift and Kanye West. As you may recall, Kanye interrupted Taylor‘s award speech last year and then caught hell for it. This year, both Taylor and Kanye sang about that moment last year … but neither one did very well or scored any points (tho, I suspect, Kanye came off looking better by comparison this year). For me, the big VMAs moment was Cher‘s surprise appearance. I think other moments include Lindsay Lohan‘s cameo (which we got to see earlier today), the performance by Florence + the Machine and Rihanna‘s surprise duet with Eminem to open the show. To be honest, this year’s VMAs seemed a bit more subdued … maybe even a bit lackluster. What did y’all think … what was YOUR fave moment of the night?

And, just to refresh your memories (or to clue in you young’ns who have never seen it before), here is Cher‘s 1989 all too risqué music video for If I Could Turn Back Time:

As rumors suggested, Lindsay Lohan did make an appearance at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards … but she did so only in a pre-taped skit with host Chelsea Handler and did NOT appear on the show in person. To be honest, I think it was a much better/funnier idea for Lindsay to appear in the skit only as a tour of the limelight with all of that temptation might’ve been detrimental to her recovery. But, I digress. I actually thought Lindsay‘s little skit with Chelsea was kinda cute and funny. Here are a few screencaps and some deets about the skit:

As expected, MTV Video Music Awards host Chelsea Handler opened with a bang. In a pre-taped clip, the comedienne makes her way to the stage (and gets slapped on the butt a couple of times along the way). She meets up with troubled actress Lindsay Lohan, who pokes fun at her own struggles with sobriety before giving Handler a bit of advice: “Don’t embarrass me.” It went over pretty well, as did Handler’s monologue.

I understand a few people were not happy with Chelsea‘s hosting job last night … especially The New York Times:

And then there was the awkward plight of the night’s host, Chelsea Handler. She was among the worst in the show’s history — purposefully out-of-touch, with brief, alarming flashes of off-color racial humor. On her talk show, “Chelsea Lately,” in a smaller setting, her interviews with musicians, rappers in particular, are consistently hilarious and inappropriate. Here, she never looked comfortable, undone by nerves, brittle material and the wattage of those around her.

Yikes! I didn’t think she was that bad but I can see their perspective. To be honest, I thought Chelsea was a much better host than Russell Brand was for the past 2 years. But, I’m getting off topic. Lindsay decided to poke fun at her personal trubs and inject herself into the VMAs and, IMHO, she did a pretty decent job. After the jump, check out the opening skit that featured VMAs host Chelsea Handler and her new BFF Lindsay Lohan …

This weekend Eminem ROCKED THE HELL out of Detroit, MI with a little help from Jay-Z but next weekend Em will be in LA to attend the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards as a nominee (8 times) and performer. Right now we get our first look at the MTV-produced video promo that features the Real Slim Shady Eminem, seemingly back from the dead:

Tupac may lay claim to hip-hop resurrections, but Eminem’s brand-new 2010 MTV VMA promo video is clearly a resurrection too. In his dramatic promo spot, Eminem, wearing a blood-red jacket, spills out of a decidedly wrecked car onto a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. The fallen star imagery is clear? The car explodes seconds later. Good thing Em got out. He pulls himself together, dusts himself off, and drags himself, limping and bruised, to what appears to be another Eminem. This is a hero’s story, and Eminem’s VMA promo is a metaphor for his musical journey and his personal one. He’s on his way back to himself, and the message here is clear: Eminem is unshakable and unstoppable. This is the fall and rise of Eminem. And speaking of heroes, Eminem is poised to be one of the heroes of the 2010 MTV VMAs, with 8 VMA nominations and a live performance that couldn’t possibly be anything but legendary.

Clearly this promo is meant to carry on the recovery theme of Eminem‘s stellar new album Recovery. While Em vowed never to perform again just a few short years ago, this video is meant to show that he is back … and in a big way. After the jump, check out the video promo in full …
