Pop Culture Yay

Ok, so I’m “job searching” online while watching the MTV Video Music Awards and thought I would do a little “live-blog action.” I figure no one else is watching…

Kicking off the show: Britney’s big peformance!

- Britney Spears doesn’t even make an effort anymore to look like she isn’t lip synching. No effort whatsoever! I haven’t been a big fan of Britney’s since I joined Team Timberlake, but at least before she put on a show. Tonight she wore sparkly hotpants and rolled her stomach. I’m still waiting for the comeback…

- “Isn’t is amazing that at the age of 25, she’s already accomplished everything she is going to accomplish?!” - Sarah Silverman (re: Britney)

- “50 cent is here. Wow. It is so cute that he is still alive.” - Sarah Silverman

- I don’t understand what’s going on. There are various concert “suite” parties with famous people giving concerts while the awards show is going on? This is complicated

- Why do they still have this awards show? When was the last time anyone saw a video on MTV? That’s a cliche argument I know, but seriously, it’s true.

- THANK THE LORD Rihanna just beat out “Hey There Delilah” for Monster Single of the Year.

- They just cut to Kanye West’s “Good Life” Suite party and everyone looks CRAZY. They are all wearing those 80s blinds sunglasses that he now rocks. Except you can tell none of them can see anything because they are all having to hold their heads up all weird and wave them around in order to see through the slits. It looks like a room full of blind people.

- A Quadruple Threat Award? Goes to Justin Timberlake - who challenges MTV to play more videos.

- Whoa, now they just cut to the middle of a Fall Out Boy concert in a suite. This is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen. It’s like they’re channel surfing for you and you can’t stop them. It’s ADHD tv.

- Earth Shattering Collaboration Award (presented by 50 Cent and Kanye West) - goes to Beyonce & Shakira

- 20 second blurb of Maroon 5 concert

- Chris Brown performs - he is a good dancer. He can jump very high. Now Rihanna joins him! This is more like the VMAs that used to be - much better.

umbrella..ella.ella…shut up and drive.

Diddy love Chris Brown. Very excited.

- There was just a commercial for MTV’s new scripted drama, “Kaya.” Isn’t it funny how they have to distinguish that the show is a “scripted drama?” That Laguna Beach threw everyone for a loop, now no one can figure it out on their own.

- Audrina, Whitney, and LC present Male Artist of the Year - goes to Justin Timberlake who is escorted by Timbaland

- Justin loved Chris Brown too. He talks about how great it is to see a great “new generation of artists.” JT, you’re like 25.

- He says play more videos again.

- Ew, I hate these melted cheese Taco Bell commercials where they have cheese strings hanging out of their mouths. So gross.

- Shia Labeouf presenting. Tells name of new Indian Jones movie, but I wasn’t listening. Indian Jones and King of Crystal something something. I suck at this. Female Artist of Year goes to Fergie who isn’t there.

- Kanye West performs from his suite party.

- oops I just missed a big performance because I had to let the dog in.

- Kevin Connelly and Adrien Granier (or however you spell it) present Best Group to Fall Out Boy. They want to thank their fans. shocking.

- This is boring as hell.

- Oh, Alicia Keys! She is pretty awesome as usual. Crazy outfit though.

- Jamie Fox and Jennifer Garner presenting. Jamie Fox says to stop the white on white fighting between Tommy Lee and Kid Rock. Jamie doesn’t read anything off of the teleprompter and throws Jennifer off. The polls just closed for Best New Artist and the winner is…(Jamie gets mad at Diddy for talking while they are trying to present)…Gym Class Fallout? What? That’s what she said. Fall Out Boy? Gym Class Heroes? I don’t understand what just happened. Who won? They just cut to a bunch of people screaming in a hotel party suite, drinking, and bumping into eachother. Did they both win? Was it a collaborative video? Ok, I will research this online and get back to you.

- HOLY CRAP! Miss SC Teen! Makes fun of herself. But its not that funny, because she actually was a dumbass the first time and everyone knows it. I feel sorry for her.

- There is suppose to be a big surprise “musical master” coming up with Mary J Blige. Mary J Blige gets a little choked up talking about this person who has “been the most important and influential producer of our time.” (She also says “50 cents” when talking about artists)

And it is….

Dre.

- dang, Dr Dre’s been working out.

OK, video of the year….Rihanna feat. Jay-Z…ella…ella…ella.

Congrats….ats…ats…ats…

Diddy says he is supposed to be presenting with Kid Rock but said “we gotta stop the violence of rock and roll.” Apparently we missed a big fight when they were switching suite parties on us. Hopefully TMZ will come through for us soon.

Big Finale performance with Timbaland, Nelly Furtado, Justin Timberlake, and friends coming up! I’m pumped!

It’s over. Overall, MTV’s desperate attempt to save the VMAs from its continuous plummet in ratings was very unsuccessful. Maybe if they showed whatever happend with Rock and Tommy Lee things could have turned out better.
