[CollegeCandy is Live Blogging the VMAs tonight! Come back at 9p.m. ET to watch (and comment) with us right here!]

Can you believe it’s already been a year since Kanyegate the infamous 2009 VMAs? I’m pretty sure people just stopped buzzing about that sh*tshow show, like, last week. Since then, Taylor Swift has won every single award possible, Jay Z retired…then un-retired, and Eminem returned to the music scene. Oh, and Justin Bieber kept on keeping on.

And now, it’s finally time for the 2010 VMAs. Everyone who’s anyone (read: anyone who’s seen an MTV commercial in the past 3 weeks) is buzzing about the big show. I know I’m excited, but I can’t help but wonder: how will we ever top last year’s crazy show?

Our friends at MTV are most definitely trying, with host Chelsea Handler (love her!) and huge performances by Usher (drool), Jason DeRulo (double drool), and Justin Beiber (drool….if I was still 11). There’s no doubt it’s going to be one memorable show.

Well, the time is finally here:

Russell Brand.
A Michael Jackson tribute.
Taylor Swift, Beyonce, and Pitbull performances.
Moon men.
Red carpet fashion you’d only see on MTV.

The VMAs are always the best show of the year, and tonight will definitely be no different. We’ve been waiting for weeks and now we’re ready with a bowl of cookie dough in one hand and a MacBook in the other to catch every. last. minute.

Tweet your thoughts to @CollegeCandy and we’ll include them here!

And here we go….

8:00: WTF is Lady Gaga wearing? The woman can’t even move!

8:01: Ashley Greene is the star of the pre-show. Looks like all I need is a saucy sex tape and I could be the queen of MTV.

8:06: Shakira’s on the red carpet and she looks totally different. Maybe it’s the straight hair? Her breasts, however, are still small and humble.

8:07: Commercial break. And it’s MTV, so this will probably be 10 minutes long. Enough time to get some Diet Coke/have a mini Michael Jackson dance party in my room? Let’s find out. Read More »
