We got your back, Kanye. Even with that stupid haircut.

Okay, before you jump down my throat for defending Kanye’s outburst at last night’s VMAs, let me explain. Yes Kanye West is an ass 95% of the time. And yes he’s a douche bag the other five. But with all the rants I’m hearing about his public humiliation of poor Taylor Swift last night, I’m doing all I can to silence that little voice in the back of my head whispering…“Was he really that wrong?”

Obviously, no one really gives a rat’s ass who Kanye thinks should win for the best music video, despite his deluded belief that he may just be God. (Although maybe that was a theme of last night, did Lady Gaga’s blood-drenched performance feel frighteningly like a crucifixion and resurrection to anyone else?!)

But in his defense, he was right, wasn’t he? Don’t get me wrong, I love adorable-ringlet-curl-I’m-all-innocence-and-love Taylor, and I also happen to be a fan of her music (we can all identify with not being able to snag that guy, right?). But Beyonce’s video was 20 times better. The choreography was amazing and caused a much greater stir when it debuted than Taylor’s jumping-on-the-bed-in-coke-bottle-glasses did. Read More »

Tonight, tonight, won’t be just any night.

It’s time for the 25^th annual Video Music Awards, MTV’s biggest event of the year.

Yes, even bigger than the premier of Real World/Road Rules Challenge #426.

From Janet Jackson opening with a tribute to Michael to host Russell Brand’s hilariously offensive quips to performances by Taylor Swift, Green Day, and Lady Gaga, this show promises to be seriously entertaining. And College Candy will be liveblogging every step of the way.

From the red carpet (CollegeCandy will be there!) to the show (the rest of the CollegeCandy staff will be sitting at home, in their PJs, eating takeout Chinese food and watching it live!) we’ll cover it all.

Watch with us.

We’ll kick it off at 8 pm EST with the VMA pre-show and won’t stop until the last Moonman has been awarded. Unless we have to pee/get a snack, but we’ll wait until a commercial break so we won’t miss a thing.

So put on your PJs, grab your laptop and gorge yourself on the biggest musical acts of the year. It’s sure to be a great show… especially if something like this happens again.
