whyfame.com - 8th Sep 2008

Britney Spears: The long awaited Britney Spears opening included a pre-taped clip with Jonah Hill before her blink-and-you'll-miss-it intro which was greeted by a touching standing ovation and eventually three moonmen! Host Russell Brand didn't hold back when bashing President Bush, calling Palin a VILF and begging for Obama support. He also mocked the promise ring wearing JoNas Brothers but Jordin Sparks came to their defense and called Brand a slut.

Other performances included Kanye, Christina Aguilera, Pink, The Jonas Brothers and Kid Rock - all of them full of energy and enjoyable. Also, Demi Moore, Lauren Conrad and Michael Phelps presented aw

6:32 - Insider secret: I've been on the lot for the last couple of days and MTV has rehearsed this "girls running through the streets and screaming" moment about 100 times. It was sort of hilarious listening to the state director yelling at a bunch of tweens through a megaphone, telling them to go slower lest they stampede themselves to death in a hysteric fit of Jonasmania. 6:30 - This is the first time I've ever heard The Jonas Brothers. They're sort of like Jack Johnson, only adorable! And ther

MTV VMA Celebrity Beauty Looks
The stars on the red carpet at the MTV VMA’s looked fabulous, from their hair to their makeup. Lindsay Lohan kept her makeup subtle with the focus on her long, long extensions. The Hills Audrina Patridge looked glamorous and rocked a blue eye liner to bring out her green/hazel eyes.

Ashlee Simpson had a pregnancy glow and kept the focus on her eyes with a smokey look. Heidi

Jordin Sparks Ef’d Up in a Big Way
Russell Brand, the host of this years MTV Video Music Awards, made fun of the stars who wear “promise rings” who include The Jonas Brothers and apparently, Jordin Sparks. Jordin Sparks obviously didn’t like what she heard, so when she took the stage she informed everyone that she wears a promise ring because not everyone wants to be a slut. I believe in one micro-second slip of the tongue, Jordin did an amazing job of alienating a multitude of teens. Perhaps it was a fleeting lapse in

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?

Courtney Love Has the Last, Incoherent Word on the VMAs Purity Ring Controversy [Love Letters]
Though it's been a long while since Courtney Love caused controversy at the VMAs, the singer wasn't about to let last night's purity ring flap pass by without giving that virginal young upstart Jordin Sparks the what-for. Yes, even though Love claims not to have watched last night's ceremony (though she adores host Russell Brand), she took to her blog to denounce the latest crop of chaste young performers, giving them the sort of X-rated advice that would make a Jonas Brother blush (not that Miley, though &

Rock chick Britney turns into Russell Brand
It looks like Britney Spears has been spending too much time with Russell Brand. After her stunning appearance at the MTV Awards just a few days ago, the singer looks as though she's been taking a few style tips from the British comedian. Britney stepped out in Hollywood donning a rock chic outfit consisting of a Russell Brand inspired black leather jacket and black top. The two had to spend a fair bit of time together in preparation for the star studded show but unlike the wacky Brand, Britney ha

Cash Money Records rapper Lil' Wayne and R&B singer Chris Brown were winners Sunday night at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards. Lil' Wayne took home the award for Hip-Hop video of the year for his hit "Lollipop," and his acceptance speech was very brief with only three acknowledgements. "Thank God.

Jordin Sparks Gets Assy on Russell Brand
Russell Brand, who proved to be one of the most annoying host in VMA history, spent most of his on-air time last night cracking jokes about purity rings. While I enjoy a good virgin joke now and then, the Brit comic turned the awards show into a three-hour virgin joke. During his opening monologue, Brand (a confessed former sex addict) repeatedly joked about the Jonas Brothers’ purity rings, saying they should take advantage of their celeb status to get lucky. “I didn’t meant to take it

Host Russell Brand Brings Down the House at the MTV VMAs
It's fitting that I return the day after sexual terrorism was unleashed on the U.S.: British comedian Russell Brand hosted the MTV Video Music Awards last night and set the tongues a-wagging and the pearls a-clutching with his frequent references to masturbation; his suggestion that Alex Rodriguez penetrated Madonna with a baseball bat, making her feel "like a virgin" all over again; his [well-deserved] potshots at George W. Bush, whom he called a "retarded cowboy"; his [well-deserved] mockery of The Jonas
