<p>Let&#8217;s be serious, <a href="http://collegecandy.com/2010/09/12/collegecandys-vma-live-blog/#comment-97799">this year&#8217;s VMA&#8217;s were quite lackluster</a>. And not just because I didn&#8217;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&#8217;s &#8220;Waiting for Tonight&#8221; music video. Oh, those 5th grade memories.</p>
<p>Somehow, between two hours of commercials and a<a href="http://collegecandy.com/2010/09/10/jersey-shore-feuds-and-fossils/"> mediocre-at-best pre-show episode of Jersey Shore </a>(which I&#8217;m also recapping in this post, because I believe in synergy and cohesion&#8230; 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&#8217;ve watched Entourage. Thank God for DVR. However, there were a few highlights in last night&#8217;s show, so let&#8217;s review: the highs and the lows.<span id="more-72270"></span></p>
<p><strong>10. DeadMau5</strong><br />
As I expressed in the liveblog, I&#8217;m very concerned for DeadMau5. Can he breathe in that hat thing? What about his neck snapping? Is he really just Samantha Ronson in a mouse hat? I guess the special effects looked cool and it&#8217;s true, I really just couldn&#8217;t stop the fistpump all night.</p>
<p><strong>9. Nikki Minaj&#8217;s Booty</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.mtv.com/content/ontv/vma/2010/photos/flipbooks/10-performers/nicki-minaj-william-pg258377.jpg">It&#8217;s big, people</a>. And possibly the biggest star of the show.</p>
<p><strong>8. Justin Bieber</strong><br />
Seriously, could he be more perfect? All I want to do is have him narrate my life to me in his beautiful singing voice all day. Except, what was with the little kids in the performance? Were they solely there to make him look slightly older than the tender age of 16? I also worry about him hitting puberty. Will he grow ugly like the youngest brother on Home Improvement or, worse, will his voice change? I do have to give the boy props, though; homeboy did beat that beat on the drums. Word.</p>
<p><strong>7. Chelsea Handler&#8217;s Hosting</strong><br />
Let&#8217;s face it, she was bombed. Grenaded, if you will. <a href="http://collegecandy.com/2010/03/03/5-reasons-we-salute-you-chelsea-handler/">She is much funnier on her own show</a> and clearly was a bit nervous (on top of being high as a kite. Her words, not mine). The in-between sketches didn&#8217;t rock and only about three of her lines were hits. However, I did appreciate her getting up in that hot tub with the J.Shore cast.</p>
<p><strong>6. Lady Gaga&#8217;s Meat Market</strong><br />
Was she really wearing an <a href="http://www.mtv.com/content/ontv/vma/2010/photos/flipbooks/10-winners/LadyGaga_wire61618721.jpg">uncooked filet mignon</a> on her head?</p>
<p><strong>5. Linkin Park</strong><br />
I had no idea this band was even still around, nor did I care. The fact that they were the second to last performance was embarrassing. Clean it up, MTV.</p>
<p><strong>4. LocaLohan</strong><br />
Seems Lindsay Lohan isn&#8217;t even good at acting when she&#8217;s playing herself.</p>
<p><strong>3. Jersey Shore</strong><br />
Jersey Shore, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I&#8217;m very glad that MTV is milking this show for all that it&#8217;s worth and we got a lovely sneak peek during the VMAs of the new cast member, helloooo cig voice. On top of all that, there was some mention/shot of Jersey Shore cast members approximately every 10 mintues of the VMAs. Not to mention, we were graced with an extra-special episode of the Jersey Shore at 7:00 that frankly doesn&#8217;t even warrant a full post.</p>
<p>Here were the highlights:</p>
<ul>
<li> Vinny got ditched by a club dancer (single tear) and wasted a perfectly good haircut and bouquet on her, even though he pathetically begged her for a date. You can do better, Vin.</li>
<li>Angelina is playing Jose, and still remains unattractive and annoying.</li>
<li>The Situation got owned&#8230; and it kinda ruled.</li>
<li>Sammi sucks.</li>
<li>Ronnie sucks.</li>
<li>Not enough JWoww and Snooki.</li>
</ul>
<p>Good enough? Expect a more cohesive recap on Friday morning regarding this Thursday&#8217;s upcoming episode.</p>
<p><strong>2. Taylor Swift&#8217;s Tearjerker</strong><br />
What a miserable, miserable performance. Did anyone notice she was barefoot the whole time? I am <a href="http://collegecandy.com/2009/11/23/taylor-swift-is-overrated/">so sick of this girl</a> and our <a href="http://collegecandy.com/2010/09/12/collegecandys-vma-live-blog/">recap put it best</a> saying, &#8220;I was really hoping this new song would be called &#8216;Thank you for making my career, Kanye West.&#8217;&#8221; Instead, we got some victim-playing boo-hoo crybaby nonsense that wasn&#8217;t interrupted. With red lipstick. Wah wah wah wah. Boring.</p>
<p><strong>1. Aziz Ansari and Kanye West</strong><br />
The only things that saved the show was Aziz&#8217;s brilliant, hysterical introduction of Mr. West (welcome back to the throne) and Kanye&#8217;s Grade A performance (in that sick suit). The downside? No duet with Ms. Swift. Oh no, we all know that she is far too &#8220;classy&#8221; to perform with him. Let&#8217;s have a toast for the douchebags. I think we all know who came out on top.</p>

<p style="text-align:left;">And with that, <a href="http://collegecandy.com/2010/09/12/were-so-excited-for-the-vmas/">it&#8217;s time for the 2010 VMAs</a>. We&#8217;ll be updating all the LOLs, dramz, acceptance speeches and memorable performances as they happen. Share your thoughts and updates in the comments section below OR Tweet us (<a href="http://www.twitter.com/collegecandy">@CollegeCandy</a>) and we&#8217;ll share it all right here.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Now bring on Chelsea Handler!<span id="more-72203"></span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>9:02 pm</strong>: Welcome back, Eminem. And might I say: you&#8217;re looking as delicious as ever. And that&#8217;s not the wine talking.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>9:04 pm</strong>: OK, not sure what dress-up box Rihanna got her outfit from, but it&#8217;s OK. I like the way it hurts. And this duet is pretty killer.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>9:05 pm</strong>: Lindsay Lohan is way less entertaining sober. Just sayin&#8217;.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>9:08 pm:</strong> Is Chelsea wearing a bump-it?</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>9:10 pm:</strong> Chelsea&#8217;s &#8220;The Situation&#8221; joke was funny, but homegirl needs a drink. She&#8217;s so nervous/awk. Not to worry &#8211; I&#8217;ll have three for her. That should make this better.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>9:13 pm</strong>: &#8220;It&#8217;s time to address the big, black elephant in the room&#8230;.where&#8217;s Kanye?&#8221; AMAZING.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>9:14 pm</strong>: I take it back &#8211; Chelsea. is. hammered.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>9:15 pm</strong>: THANK GOD GAGA WON.  I swear, if Taylor took this award I was prepared to drown myself in this bowl of pudding.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em><strong>From CollegeCandy&#8217;s Senior Editor via Twitter: </strong></em>@collegecandy: ummm is there going to be an LFO tribute?</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>9:24 pm:</strong> Is it weird that I really (REALLY) wanna see Jackass 3d?</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>9:27 pm</strong>: And the award for WEIRDEST GROUP OF PEOPLE EVER TO BE ON ONE STAGE GOES TO: The Jackass Guys and 30 Seconds to Mars.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>9:29 pm</strong>: Strangely turned on by Justin Bieber&#8230;.. I hope <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10912603/">Chris Hansen</a> isn&#8217;t reading this.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>9:31 pm</strong>: Do you think the Jonas Brothers are sitting at home mourning the loss of their youth/fans in a bowl of Ben &amp; Jerry&#8217;s?</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>9:33 pm</strong>: Speaking of Ben and Jerry&#8217;s&#8230;.BRB.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>9:38 pm:</strong> USHERRRRR. Must. stop. drooling on my keyboard. It&#8217;s a good thing he looks so good&#8230;.maybe no one will notice the fact that he&#8217;s not even TRYING to mouth the words to the song.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>9:42 pm</strong>: I&#8217;ve always dreamed of seeing Usher sweat. I just thought it would be in my bed and not on a national award show. Sigh.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>9:44 pm</strong>: And with that, we&#8217;ve got the first camel toe of the night. Thank you, Nickie Minaj.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>9:45 pm:</strong> YAY EMINEM! DETROIT REPRESENT!</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>9:47 pm</strong>: Dead Mau5 makes me feel stoned without the munchies. I think I like it.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>9:55 pm</strong>: OMG Florence and the Machine. Best performance of the night so far? Fo sho. The only way that could have been any better is if Cee Lo joined her for some super duet.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>10:04 pm</strong>: Is Cory Monteith wearing a toupee?</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>10:05 pm</strong>: Gaga wins again. And puts on another spiky head-dress. I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if she was wearing all her Moonmen on her head by the end of the night.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>10:07 pm</strong>: COME ON, KANYE! LET&#8217;S DUET!!!</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>10:09 pm</strong>: OK, I&#8217;m bored, Tay Tay. I was really hoping this new song would be called &#8220;Thank you for making my career, Kanye West.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em><strong>From CollegeCandy writer, <a href="http://collegecandy.com/author/tinkermellie/">Melanie &#8211; Northeastern</a> via AIM:</strong></em> I&#8217;m really worried about deadmau5&#8230; Do you think he can breathe in there? he may be Sam ronson in disguise.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>10:23 pm:</strong> Mmmm Drake. Come to MAMA. Can MTV please stop panning over to Mary? Girlfriend is gorge and talented, but really? MORE DRAKE.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>10:33 pm</strong>: How do you think Ronnie, Sammi and Angelina feel about getting the shaft from the hot tub? And first Vinny gets stood up and now he&#8217;s not invited to the hot tub party? WTF?!</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>10:35 pm</strong>: What the f**k did Sofia Vergara just say?</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em><strong>Sidenote:</strong></em> To Taco Bell and Rhapsody &#8211; THESE ADS AREN&#8217;T WORKING.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>10:42 pm</strong>: I didn&#8217;t realize Neyo was the same height as Chuy&#8230;.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>10:44 pm:</strong> Do you think Hayley Williams&#8217; carpet matches the drapes?</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>10:52 pm:</strong> If Kanye doesn&#8217;t come out and do something stupid in 4 minutes, I&#8217;m going to bed. Angry.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>10:54 pm: </strong>GAGA JUST GOT BEAT BY A 4th GRADER?! Either the world is ending or 12-year-old girls with cellphones have more power than I thought.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>10:56 pm:</strong> Question: Is this Linkin Park thing A) a prank, B) a drunken hallucination, or C) did I somehow travel back in time to 2008?</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>10:58 pm</strong>: Answer: It doesn&#8217;t matter. It&#8217;s bad. Why so much screaming?!</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>11:04 pm</strong>: Where. Is. Kanye?</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>11:05 pm: </strong>HOLY SH*T! Cher stole my New Year&#8217;s outfit.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>11:07 pm</strong>: Lady Gaga in bacon FTW!</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>11:13 pm:</strong> I&#8217;m not sure what is going on in this Kanye performance but I like it. Welcome back, Kanye. We missed you. Well, everyone besides Taylor.</p>

<p><em><strong>[CollegeCandy is Live Blogging the VMAs tonight! Come back at 9p.m. ET to watch (and comment) with us right here!]</strong></em></p>
<p>Can you believe it’s already been a year since <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">Kanyegate </span>the <a href="http://collegecandy.com/2009/09/14/in-defense-of-kanye-yea-you-heard-me-right/">infamous 2009 VMAs</a>?  I’m pretty sure people just stopped buzzing about that sh*tshow show, like, last week. Since then,<a href="http://collegecandy.com/2009/11/23/taylor-swift-is-overrated/"> Taylor Swift has won every single award possible</a>, Jay Z retired&#8230;then un-retired, and Eminem returned to the music scene. Oh, and Justin Bieber kept on keeping on.</p>
<p>And now, it&#8217;s finally time for the 2010 VMAs. Everyone who&#8217;s anyone (read: anyone who&#8217;s seen an MTV commercial in the past 3 weeks) is buzzing about the big show. I know I&#8217;m excited, but I can&#8217;t help but wonder: how will we ever top last year’s crazy show?</p>
<p>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&#8230;.if I was still 11). There&#8217;s no doubt it&#8217;s going to be one memorable show.</p>
<p>But even with all that, will it ever live up to the drama from &#8217;09?<span id="more-71797"></span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Michael Jackson Tribute:</strong><br />
When a show starts with a jaw-dropping tribute to the late King of Pop, how could it not be one for the record books?  MJ’s sister Janet kicked off the show with one of the most visually impressive performances I’ve ever seen.   Combined with a surprisingly moving (albeit slightly random) tribute speech made by Madonna, this tribute totally proved why the Jackson family established itself as an untouchable force in pop music.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="text-align:center; display: block;"><a href="http://collegecandy.com/2010/09/12/were-so-excited-for-the-vmas/"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/DsM6CPi7248/2.jpg" alt="" /></a></span></p>
<p><strong>Lady Gaga “Paparazzi”:</strong><br />
No one has ever accused Lady Gaga of being boring, but it wasn’t until last year’s show that we realized how controversial and influential she actually is.  Gaga brought her performance staples: chill-inducing vocals, jerky dance steps, and completely bizarre wardrobe choices to the stage.  Along with a crew of backup dancers and a whole lotta weird, she acted out a tale of fame, violence, and death.  Did it make sense?  Not so much.  But Gaga certainly managed to make a lasting impression. In blood.</p>
<span style="text-align:center; display: block;"><a href="http://collegecandy.com/2010/09/12/were-so-excited-for-the-vmas/"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/U-XIkaeS8yc/2.jpg" alt="" /></a></span>
<p><strong>Taylor Swift and Kanye West:</strong><br />
I don’t think I even need to recap this one.  All I have to say is, this moment somehow managed to do the impossible: steal Lady Gaga’s thunder.  Tay and Kanye had the most undeniably shocking encounter of the night.  For Taylor and her ultimate savior Beyonce, this sitch was a perfect opportunity to show America how a true lady reacts to drunken douche: with grace and resilience.  And with the kind of year T. Swift has been having, the girl should probably send Kanye an Edible Arrangement, since his faux pas made her career.</p>
<span style="text-align:center; display: block;"><a href="http://collegecandy.com/2010/09/12/were-so-excited-for-the-vmas/"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/1z8gCZ7zpsQ/2.jpg" alt="" /></a></span>
<p>So what kind of drama will we see this year?  Will Justin Bieber part his hair to the left? Will Eminem get teabagged again? Will Kanye and Tay Tay perform a duet?</p>
<p>With MTV you never know&#8230;.but I can&#8217;t wait to find out.</p>
<p><em><strong>We&#8217;ll see you right here for all the dramz at 9p.m.!</strong></em></p>

Taylor Swift, Beyonce, and Pitbull performances.<br />
Moon men.<br />
Red carpet fashion you&#8217;d only see on MTV.</p>
<p>The VMAs are always the best show of the year, and tonight will definitely be no different. We&#8217;ve been waiting for weeks and now we&#8217;re ready with a bowl of cookie dough in one hand and a MacBook in the other to catch every. last. minute.</p>
<p>Tweet your thoughts to @CollegeCandy and we&#8217;ll include them here!</p>
<p>And here we go&#8230;.</p>
<p><strong>8:00:</strong> WTF is Lady Gaga wearing? The woman can&#8217;t even move!</p>
<p><strong>8:01:</strong> 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.</p>
<p><strong>8:06</strong>: Shakira&#8217;s on the red carpet and she looks totally different. Maybe it&#8217;s the straight hair? Her breasts, however, are still small and humble.</p>
<p><strong>8:07:</strong> Commercial break. And it&#8217;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&#8217;s find out.<span id="more-40476"></span></p>
<p><strong>8:11:</strong> And we&#8217;re back. Who&#8217;s that on the fire truck? Hot firemen? Check! Oh yeah&#8230;and Pink. Lookin&#8217; good, woman. But are you wearing Shakira&#8217;s dress?</p>
<p><strong>8:13:</strong> Lady Gaga is a freak. Yeah a said it. All those feathers? That mask? Kermit as her date?  I swear she&#8217;ll do ANYTHING to prevent people from seeing what she really looks like&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>8:17</strong>: OH MY GODDDD!! TAYLOR LAUTNER. He&#8217;s almost 18, right? I mean, I can drool over him and not end up talking to Chris Hansen, right?? P.S. This Ashley girl is the worst red carpet correspondent, ever. Can we get a little Giuliana Rancic up in here?</p>
<p><strong>8:19</strong>: Buzz Aldrin? Who let the old guy in? And why can&#8217;t he read? We sent this man to the moon, for god&#8217;s sake!</p>
<p><strong>8:25: </strong>Taylor Swift arrives in a horse drawn carriage. Obvi. And OMG her dress is ridic. Beautiful. Sparkly.  I want to be this girl. Or raid her closet.</p>
<p><strong>8:28:</strong> My dog is curled up on my feet. Asleep. Clearly she isn&#8217;t as excited about this show as I am.</p>
<p><strong>8:30: </strong>I could be Justin Beiber&#8217;s mom. If I had a kid when I was 11, of course. And someone should let Diddy&#8217;s date know that I can almost see her nips. One fast move and we&#8217;ll have a Janet Jackson moment on our hands.</p>
<p><strong>8:33:</strong> Ok, why did they stop to talk to baby Beiber and only FLASH QUICKLY PAST CHASE CRAWFORD?! He&#8217;s the one we all wanna see. Naked. I mean&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>8:36</strong>: Kristin Cavillari: Great makeup, great dress, greasy/flat hair. Maybe she should stop smooching with John Mayer and get herself into the shower.</p>
<p><strong>8:39</strong>: Faaaaame.  Anyone else as excited to see this as me?</p>
<p><strong>8:46:</strong> Can we stop talking to randos and just get out to the red carpet to show us everyone coming in? I don&#8217;t care what this random former ANTM contestant has to say or what this crazy Twitter girl is seeing in the Twitterverse.</p>
<p><strong>8:51</strong>: Well, hey there, J-Lo. Are you using drugs? All that moving and swaying is making me trip out.</p>
<p><strong>8:55</strong>: Now, I&#8217;m completely straight, but I can&#8217;t stop looking at Beyonce&#8217;s boobs. She looks like a freaking Barbie doll. Does this woman ever look bad!?!</p>
<p><strong>8:59</strong>: Worst. red carpet show. ever. How boring!? Let&#8217;s just hope the main event is way, WAY better. Let&#8217;s get this show on the road!</p>
<p><strong>9:03:</strong> Madonna may be a great performer, but no matter how great this story is about her and Michael Jackson, she&#8217;s not so good at telling it&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>9:07:</strong> I&#8217;m bored, Madonna. Let&#8217;s start the performances already!</p>
<p><strong>9:11</strong>: None of these people can dance like MJ. It&#8217;s a shame to have other people try and mimic that man.</p>
<p><strong>9:13: </strong>Katy Perry singing Queen while accompanied by the Aerosmith guitarist? WTF is going on here?!</p>
<p><strong>9:20</strong>: Did Russell Brand just say he wanted to make Gaga&#8217;s nubbin hard and hang his hat on it? Wow. Awful mental images. Wow wow wow. Vomit. Barf. Ew.</p>
<p><strong>9:24: </strong>TAYLOR SWIFT BEAT BEYONCE!? I get that she&#8217;s adorable and great, but how does THAT video beat Single Ladies?! Do you know any dance moves from Taylor Swift? I don&#8217;t think so! But how many times have you done the Beyonce dance?!</p>
<p>Uh. Apparently Kanye agreed. WTF?! Has there been a year yet where he didn&#8217;t get up and say something incredibly stupid? Enough, Kanye. Oh and PS: your hair looks ridiculous.</p>
<p><strong>9:30:</strong> Ok, I got some cake. And I&#8217;ve calmed down. Maybe Kanye would like some?</p>
<p><strong>9:33</strong>: Does Russell Brand have a perm?</p>
<p><strong>9:36</strong>: Green Day beats Coldplay. Clearly the MTV voting audience doesn&#8217;t recall ANY song that didn&#8217;t come out in the last month!</p>
<p><strong>9:38:</strong> I wonder if Taylor Swift is enjoying the scent of urine in the NYC subway. Or if Kanye is gonna come out and knock her off the top of that cab.</p>
<p><strong>9:48</strong>: Here comes GAGA! Looking like a freak, as always. What is this look? Madonna/Like a Virgin meets the Easter Bunny??</p>
<p><strong>9:51</strong>: OMG. Why does it look like she just got her period!?</p>
<p><strong>10:00:</strong> I will not comment on Lady Gaga&#8217;s latest outfit. I will not do it. (But if I were planning on it, I might liken this latest look to a dirty tampon.) That is all.</p>
<p><strong>10:03:</strong> Kristin Cavillari and Nelly Furtado announce best pop vid. Figured Kristin can&#8217;t pronounce anything in Spanish. The girl can barely speak English.</p>
<p><strong>10:04:</strong> Hey, Megan Fox: GET YOUR HANDS OFF ADAM BRODY. He&#8217;s mine, bitch.</p>
<p><strong>10:10</strong>: Green Day may still be old, but those guys definitely know how to rock. The hairstyles could use a little help, though.</p>
<p><strong>10:15:</strong> Falling. Asleep. Too much partying this weekend. Must stay awake for Beyonce. Drooling. Snore. So torn.</p>
<p><strong>10:16</strong>: Oh lord. New Moon trailer. Girls around the world are wetting themselves. But I&#8217;m just fighting to care.</p>
<p><strong>10:19</strong>: Chase Crawford. Now that&#8217;s a man I can get behind. Or under. Or on top of. Drool.</p>
<p><strong>10:20: </strong>OMG. If I had moves like Beyonce (or her hair/body/voice/wardrobe), I most definitely would not be single right now.</p>
<p><strong>10:22</strong>: I could never be one of the dancers in this video. My bikini line is just not clean enough for all these crotch flashes.</p>
<p><strong>10:25:</strong> Beyonce just killed it. THIS is what the VMAs are supposed to be about.</p>
<p>And with that, I&#8217;m signing out. I&#8217;ve seen what I wanted to see and a whole lot of what I didn&#8217;t (like Gaga&#8217;s crotch up close and personal). Leave your comments below and we&#8217;ll discuss it all in the A.M.</p>
<p>Good night, CollegeCandies!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OTWO5vKSwg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-40409" title="moon_man" src="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/moon_man.jpg" alt="moon_man" width="240" height="320" />Tonight, tonight, won’t be just any night.</a></p>
<p>It’s time for the 25<sup>th</sup> annual Video Music Awards, MTV’s biggest event of the year.</p>
<p>Yes, even bigger than the premier of Real World/Road Rules Challenge #426.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;ll cover it all.</p>
<p>Watch with us.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll kick it off at 8 pm EST with the VMA pre-show and won&#8217;t stop until the last Moonman has been awarded. Unless we have to pee/get a snack, but we&#8217;ll wait until a commercial break so we won&#8217;t miss a thing.</p>
<p>So put on your PJs, grab your laptop and gorge yourself on the biggest musical acts of the year. It&#8217;s sure to be a great show&#8230; especially if something like <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GYyjJaUEGg">this</a> happens again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-37267" title="kanye_west" src="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/kanye_west.jpg" alt="kanye_west" width="260" height="260" /> <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-37268" title="john mayer dbag" src="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/john-mayer-dbag.jpg" alt="john mayer dbag" width="259" height="259" /></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">In my experience, musicians are vain, self-absorbed creatures who live for their instruments (much like any art form).  Since one of my majors is studio art, I am constantly surrounded by self-proclaimed artists and their idiosyncrasies.  Therefore, I can understand why some people in the music business act in a certain way.  They can&#8217;t help it, they&#8217;re artists!</p>
<p>The art department of any university is a strange place and it takes a special kind if person to put themselves through the torture that is any art class.  I&#8217;m sure the music business is the same way.  That is why when I see &#8220;artists&#8221; like The Pussycat Dolls or P. Diddy, I&#8217;m not exactly surprised.  However, once in a while there comes a person who is so terrifically self-absorbed that it shocks (and annoys) even other artists.  Enter:  Kanye West.  And John Mayer.</p>
<p>This installment of Celebretard Showdown could easily be called The Douchebag Edition, considering our subjects.  Who is more pretentious?  Who has talent and who just has a big mouth?  So many questions, so little time (let&#8217;s face it: there&#8217;s only so much time you can spend reading Kanye West quotes before losing all faith in humanity and wanting to smash something).<span id="more-37163"></span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Love Life</strong><br />
<em>Kanye West</em> is in a loving relationship&#8230;with himself.  Sure, he&#8217;s had a couple pieces of arm candy come and go, but he remains faithful to his number one fan.  After he split with his fiance, he seems more concerned with how to coordinate a woman with his outfit, rather than how to sustain an actual relationship.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>John Mayer</em> is a notorious man whore.  Seriously &#8211; there should be a warning memo distributed to all actresses about him.  <em>All</em> women should be warned, really.  What&#8217;s confusing is how he can fit all this sexy time in between clubbing, attending awards shows and Twittering&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em><strong>Point: John Mayer.</strong></em> His love life comprises most of the content covered by People magazine in the last few years.  I hope they&#8217;re paying him a commission or something.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Fame Whorishness</strong><br />
<em>Kanye West</em> is probably the King of all Fame Whores.  He writes his blog in all-caps, says and does ridiculous things to get attention, and is generally an a-hole whenever people don&#8217;t give him what he wants (see: MTV Music Awards).  He even wrote a book of &#8220;observations&#8221; (which has a lot of blank pages&#8230;hmm) after he said he didn&#8217;t read books because he&#8217;s too busy doing real things.  Oh, Kanye.  You&#8217;re such a gay fish.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>John Mayer</em> pretends not to be a Fame Whore, but since he Twitters about ev.ery.thing. it&#8217;s hard to ignore him.  He also makes a point to pose and dance for photographers whenever he sees them.  Oh, and the whole dating slews of famous women probably has something to do with it as well.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em><strong>Point:  Kanye West.</strong></em> We get it&#8230;you&#8217;re awesome.  Now shut up.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Fashion</strong><br />
<em>Kanye West</em> is pretty damn fashionable (at least he certainly thinks so).  Unfortunately, some of his style choices seem to border on douchebag chic.  He also has made a big issue out of stating his heterosexuality &#8211; he&#8217;s not gay, people, he&#8217;s just stylish (like we care&#8230;).  Still, the man can dress and always manages to pull off something edgy.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>John Mayer</em> dresses like a dirty hippie most of the time (cargo pants that are three sizes too big don&#8217;t look good on anyone), but has been known to whip out a couple sweet outfits now and then.  He was even part of a Gap advertising campaign and looked pretty hawt.<br />
<em><strong><br />
Point: John Mayer. </strong></em>Step it up, Broseph.  You&#8217;re famous now.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Talent/Career<br />
</strong><em>Kanye West</em> is undeniably talented, whether you regard him as a rapper or a producer.  He is churning out hit after hit and I&#8217;m powerless to resist (and so is the rest of the world).  Pretty much whatever he touches turns to platinum.  Incredibly addicting and douchy platinum.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>John Mayer</em> is also incredibly talented and has taken his guitar playing to impressive heights.  If you can move beyond his sugary pop hits like <em>Daughters </em>and <em>Your Body Is A Wonderland</em>, then John Mayer can be respected as a legitimate musician.  Too bad he spends most of his time Twittering instead of writing song lyrics, otherwise we might have a new album by now. And don&#8217;t even get me started on those <a href="http://cm1.theinsider.com/media/0/82/93/john-mayer.0.0.0x0.400x600.jpeg">weird faces </a>he makes when he&#8217;s performing.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em><strong>Point: Kanye West. </strong></em>If he didn&#8217;t go around telling everyone how talented he is, I&#8217;d be less annoyed with him and more likely to listen to his albums without feeling slightly ashamed of myself.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em><strong>Celebretard Prize Goes To: Kanye West.</strong></em> Did anyone even have any doubts about this?  Kanye West = Huge Douchebag.  Done deal.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/15/rhianna.jpg" alt="rhianna.jpg" align="left" />Celebrities get paid to look good and serve as a style guide to all us common folk, and part of looking good is flaunting their (or sometimes in their cases, their stylist’s) totally awesome fashion sense.  Each week, I will be highlighting my Style Idol of the week: a celebrity who consistently shows keen fashion sense and whose closet I would raid in a heartbeat.</p>
<p>Of course, no celebs are immune to the occasional “what the <em>hell </em>were they thinking?” moment, but for the most part, these celebs look foxy and fabulous and inspire us all to do the same.</p>
<p>My Style Idol of the week is someone who is one of the most popular young faces in Hollywood/the music scene right now. She does a great job of playing up her personality and youth whether she is heading to a red carpet event, or just hangin&#8217; out.</p>
<p>Rihanna.<span id="more-12159"></span></p>
<p>Okay, so I’ll admit: it bugs me that <a href="http://www.defjam.com/site/artist_home.php?artist_id=586">Rihanna</a> is one of the biggest pop singers in the world when (in my humble opinion) she can’t even sing, but I cannot deny that the girl’s got great style.  Admittedly, she does have occasional snafus, but overall she does a great job of putting together fun, funky and age-appropriate outfits.  She’s a trend-setter and is great at picking out clothes that work well for her body type.</p>
<p>Whether glamming it up at awards shows or out and about with her “good friend,” Chris Brown, she’s constantly snapped looking hot as hell and flaunting her unique and eye-catching style.   Not only does she change it up with bright colors and intriguing cuts, she’s also ahead of the curve when it comes to hair, make-up and nail trends.</p>
<p>No matter what, you can’t deny that Rihanna has an individual style that she owns and flaunts and that’s what being fashionable is all about.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After watching her <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1594283/20080908/spears_britney.jhtml">win <em>3</em> Moonmen</a> at MTV&#8217;s VMA awards last night for a song that is good but not her best by far, we here at CC are pretty confident that MTV is making it their personal mission to give Britney Spears her second comeback.</p>
<p>It makes perfect sense.  To MTV, Spears is like Candy Mountain &#8211; except instead of candy the mountain is full of cold, hard cash.  If she were to have a fabulous comeback, the boring and bling-obsessed music video channel would no doubt feel the full effect of her resurgence.</p>
<p>For your consideration, here is a &#8220;leaked&#8221; video of Spears practicing some kind of performance.  She admittedly looks fantastic, even if her dancing is slightly lacking the <span style="font-style:italic;">pop!</span> of her 20-year-old self.  I guess we should let her off the hook, though.  She <span style="font-style:italic;">did</span> have two kids and go crazy.  That combo must take a lot outta a person.</p>
<p><code><br />Britney's Back!<br /><img src='http://entimg.msn.com/i/msn_video/britneybanner1.jpg' alt='Britney Spears' width="432"></p>
<p>What do you think?  Is Spears back with a vengeance? Or is MTV just kicking a very tired horse?</p>
