The VMA buzz is once again all about Britney Spears. ET broke the news that she would be back at this year's awards -- to open the show. What lies ahead tonight? We've got the lowdown!

Russell Brand VMA VIDEO!
VIDEO! Watch the VMAs video of Russell Brand calling George Bush a “retard cowboy”, making fun of Jonas Brothers purity rings, and calling Britney Jesus Christ. Bush a “retard”? Do you think Russell Brand as a comic using “retard” for a laugh in an Awards show was appropriate? “Retard” has no place in a comic’s routine for the opening of any Awards show, period. “Please, America, elect Barack Obama. On behalf of the world. Some people, I think

Britney steals show at drama-free VMAs
MTV has set a high standard for the unexpected at its Video Music Awards, but on the show’s 25th anniversary, the network instead settled for throwing its full support behind Britney Spears’ comeback. Spears won a leading three awards, including video of the year for “Piece of Me.” Any spontaneity was left to host Russell Brand, the British comic whose rock star style and outlandish candor gave the Los Angeles show a pulse. But at the end of the night Sunday, even the manic and man

What Was Your Favorite Performance at the VMAs?
There's been a lot of chatter today about Britney Spears's three moonmen at the 2008 MTV VMAs on Sunday, but I want to briefly turn our attention to something else: the performances. Kanye crooned, Pink strutted, and The Jonas Brothers rocked out on a porch stoop. Which of the evening's musical interludes was your favorite? Source What Was Your Favorite Performance at the VMAs? Rihanna — "Disturbia/Seven Nation Army" Jonas Brothers — "Lovebug" Kanye West — "Love Lockdown"

Whoris Hilton presented the Circus Whore with her second moon man at the VMA’s on Sunday night. Brit started off the night winning the best female pop tart award and later won the best pop tart video award. She also won the award for best pop tart of the year. At this point, the only reason to watch the VMA’s is to see if it can get any worse than the previous year. The answer will almost always be “YES!” Pics of the following attendees after the jump; Britney, T.I. & Rihanna,

The VMA’s
MTV will air their annual Video Music Awards tonight at 9PM EST. It seems there are big things happening at this years awards. As I am sure you all know Britney Spears is opening the show, the real question is whether or not she will actually perform? Personally I don’t think she is going to, I think it is all hype to get the viewers. Yes MTV is pulling out all the stops to celebrate the VMA’s 25th anniversary, including getting Kayne West to close the show. Um wasn’t it just last year that Kayne sai

The Jonas Brothers are virgins
If it wasn't bad enough that MTV rigged the VMAs to salvage Britney Spears' careers, the network also watered down the show by including sugary sweet performances from Miley Cyrus and The Jonas Brothers. The latter are sons of a preacher and apparently wear purity rings as a symbol of their virginity. This, of course, caught the attention of host comedian Russell Brand. Who? You got me. The AP reports: Brand clearly angered some in attendance when he repeatedly joked about The Jonas Brothers, the sons of a

Jordin Sparks Defends Promise Rings
Last night at the 2008 MTV Video Awards, British host, Russell Brand, poked fun at The Jonas Brothers for wearing “promise rings.”  As you may know, some people choose to wear the jewelry as a reminder of their pledge to remain virgins until married.  American Idol winner, Jordin Sparks, has talked about wearing the ring herself in the past and seemed to have taken offence at Russell Brand’s neverending assault on The Jonas Brothers and she did something about it.  When it w

Russell Brand Angers Jordan Sparks With Purity Ring Comment
At the VMA’S last night, host Russell Brand made some comments about The Jonas Brothers and their purity ring. He said that it was a shame that The Jonas Brothers weren’t using all of their advantages of being famous, like scoring lots of chicks. You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video Jordan Sparks, another purity ring wearer, apparently took great offense to the jokes and right before her and John Legend announced T.I. performance, she felt the need to say, ̶

Jordin Sparks defends purity rings, says not everyone wants to be sluts
After MTV VMA host Russell Brand poked fun at The Jonas Brothers for their purity rings, American Idol winner and VMA nominee Jordin Sparks, who apparently also wears one of these rings, defended them. Brand pointed out that the three brothers could probably have sex with any woman they wanted right now, but choose not to. He also joked that his goal was to have sex with all three of them by the end of the night. Jordin didn’t think that was funny. Before presenting an award with John Legend, she sai

My Take on the VMA Suckfest
Right, I know I'm the new kid on the block here at Famecrawler, but I've been working my tail off getting into the gossip game. I love it here. My fellow bloggers are all very friendly and snarky - just the way I like 'em - and we have loads of great (and some insane) commenters. Here's how dedicated I am to this new gig: I actually sat through the MTV Video Music Awards last night. The. Whole. Thing. Holy hell, what a clusterfook THAT shit was. I haven't watched the VMA's since, we

Paris Hilton Says, 'Don't Pick On' The Jonas Brothers After VMA Chastity Flap
(Editor's note: The VMAs are a big assignment, and our friends at Us Weekly are helping us make sure we've got every angle covered. You'll see their celebrity reporting here at MTV.com.) Paris Hilton is coming to The Jonas Brothers' defense after comic Russell Brand ridiculed their 1594283 when he hosted the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday. "I don't pick on them," Hilton told Usmagazine.com after Brand's remarks. "That's something cool for a kid to keep, so don't pick on them for that." The Jonas Brothe

Paris Hilton Sticks Up for the Jonas Brothers
Sunday night, Britain’s own comedian Russell Brand hosted MTV’s Video Music Awards. Brand had formally worked as a VJ for MTV, but was fired after coming to work dressed as Osama bin Laden. Brand, who had already been beating on touchy subjects such as politics, soon began on The Jonas Brothers. Nick, Joe, and Kevin Jonas, whose concerts have sold out in minutes, wear promise rings as a commitment to themselves to remain virgins until marriage. And Brand used the topic as the source for many of

Quote Me of the Day: Paris Hilton
On Russell Brand’s joke about The Jonas Brothers wearing purity rings and remaining virgins until marriage: “I don’t pick on them. That’s something cool for a kid to keep, so don’t pick on them for that. I think that they’re all really good kids and that they’re definitely our next generation of kids and they’re all really good so I think that’s awesome.” Should Paris Hilton be commenting on anything that has to do with chastity? I’m only

Who IS Russell Brand, Anyway?
Russell Brand quotes Oscar Wilde as easily as he rocks his ridiculously teased hair.  He’s sexy, he’s suave, but, above all, he’s smart and he isn’t afraid to speak his mind.  Despite getting flack for openly teasing The Jonas Brothers about their chastity rings and the “retarded cowboy President” Bush at the VMA’s last night, I thought [Me too!—Editor] Brand stole the show with his off-handed hilarious comments—of course an accent makes everyt

Paris Hilton: 'Don't Pick On The Jonas Brothers'
Socialite Paris Hilton has come out in defense of The Jonas Brothers - after British funnyman Russell Brand ridiculed their sexual morals. The three siblings wear purity rings as a commitment to remain virgins until marriage, and their abstinence became the focus of Brand's jokes at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night. Brand was subsequently forced to apologies for his remarks, following criticism from singer Jordin Sparks - who also puts purity before sex. And now Hilton has become the latest

Paris Hilton defends the Jonas Brothers
I spoke too soon. Paris Hilton (Yes, the Gaping Canyon of Herp herself) came to the rescue of the chaste Jonas Brothers after they were ridiculed by VMA host Russell Brand, US Magazine reports: "I don't pick on them," Hilton told Usmagazine.com after Brand's remarks. "That's something cool for a kid to keep, so don't pick on them for that." "I think that they're all really good kids and that they're definitely our next generation of kids and they're all really good so I think that's awesome," Hilton added
