Is it just me or does it just feel wrong when Kanye smiles?

Let’s be serious, this year’s VMA’s were quite lackluster. And not just because I didn’t report on the red carpet this year. I expected to tune in for the lolz, dramz and maybe a few interruptions or two. All I got was into a freaking Delorean and rocketed back to 1999 where I saw the likes of Usher, Eminem and Linkin Park performing with lasers everywhere, a la J.Lo’s “Waiting for Tonight” music video. Oh, those 5th grade memories.

Somehow, between two hours of commercials and a mediocre-at-best pre-show episode of Jersey Shore (which I’m also recapping in this post, because I believe in synergy and cohesion… as does MTV), MTV managed to make a lovely Lady Gaga hour for everyone. And Cher was there too. And some chick that looked like a low-budget version of Pink. Seriously, who was that? What a waste. I should’ve watched Entourage. Thank God for DVR. However, there were a few highlights in last night’s show, so let’s review: the highs and the lows. Read More »

Obviously, she was mortified.

10 new sex positions to try.

TMI, Nick Cannon, TMI.

Zac Efron naked! (Well, sort of…)

Tips for getting up and at ‘em in the morning.

Although some of us – cough cough, College Candy, cough cough – are more accepting than others, I think most of us can agree that Kanye West is a jackass. And leave it to President Obama to tell it like it is in an off-the-record comment in a CNBC interview yesterday. Who knew Obama had such a potty-mouth!

But while Kanye has apologized not once, but twice to America’s sweetheart, Taylor Swift, there is another heckler in our midst who has been flying under the radar and is seemingly un-remorseful.

Republican representative Joe Wilson channeled his inner 5^th-grade bully when he shouted out “You lie!” to Obama during his speech on health care reform to Congress last week. (Which isn’t being discussed 1/3rd as much as Taylor-gate.) I guess it’s asking too much to expect a little maturity from our lawmakers these days. Read More »

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 »
