VMAs: The Last Word
Another VMAs has shuffled off into history (or it will, as soon as Kanye and Taylor stop duking it out in TV appearances), but lest we forget the highs and lows of MTV's annual MTV-fest, we've got one more look at the night the music video circus came to Radio City Music Hall.
The highlights ranged from the classy (Janet's slick tribute to Michael via the "Scream" video choreography) to the classless (um, Kanye), and we managed to get ALL the goods:
- I'mma Let You Finish: Kanye just seems to be interrupting everyone - check out the incriminating photos here and here.
- The Mea Culpa: Kanye apologized, not once, not twice, but three times.
- The Winners: Oh yeah, some people won awards (mostly Beyonce, for Most Gracious Megastar EVER.)
- New Moon Anticipation: It was a HUGE night for Twi-hards, with the premiere of a New Moon trailer and ample evidence that Robsten is real.
- Kanye Vs. Taylor in Pics: Amid the public outcry over Kanye's conduct, we explored the contrast between the rap star predator and his pop-country prey.
- Twitter Reactions: Inside the hall, a cacaphony of boos descended on Kanye. Inside AND outside, he felt the mighty sword of angry celebrity tweets.
- Caught on Tape: Watch the slow-motion car-crash all over again as Kanye West, long known for his humility and aversion to the spotlight, stormed the stage during what was supposed to be Taylor Swift's moment.
- Performance Highlights: In addition to Janet's opening number, this year's best performances included Pink's, Jay-Z's and Beyonce's. See all the pics.
- In-Depth Wardrobe Analysis: Buzznet dissected the looks of wardrobe experts J.Lo., Lady Gaga and Paramore. But frankly, we needed a second look at the ridiculousness of Gaga.
- Red Carpet Pics: Hey Monday's Cassadee Pope held it down for us on the red carpet, where we snapped everyone from Jimmy Fallon to Diddy. Plus: Pink and Shakira wore the same dress? DRAMA.
- Predicting the Winners: We asked you to predict the winners in each category. Mostly, you were wrong. Hey Monday made their own picks; they were wrong too. We thought this show was supposed to be predictable!!
- Fashion Police: We warned you this year might be ugly, based on years of past fashion trainwrecks.
- Liveblog Mania: And if you missed any of it? Relive the show itself in Newageamazon's liveblog, Videogum's liveblog and Idolator's liveblog.
