Of course, some of her most showstopping numbers took place at the MTV Video Music Awards, so we put together our own homage to the pop princess, chronicling her most memorable VMA moments over the years.

There were plenty of cute couples showing their love at the MTV VMAs last night, but the hot menfolk were also out in full force at the award show. There were the classic hotties, the less-obvious choices, and even a gender-bending option showing his, er, her, colors on the stage. Check out the eye candy from the big event and tell us, would you do, dump, or marry them?

Did the VMAs Need a Host?

This year, the VMAs went with a completely different angle for their host - that is, there wasn't one. There was still lots of personality on stage, in part because it seemed like Lady Gaga's male alter ego Jo Calderone was pretty sure he was the evening's emcee. Still, the show felt a little more aimless than usual without one consistent host, especially when certain features, like Jessie J.'s commercial break transition performances, were never introduced or explained.

The experience made me appreciate recent hosts Chelsea Handler and Russell Brand, because even if their jokes weren't killing it, they still gave the show some guidance. You weigh in: could the VMAs have been better with a host?

Though VMA staple Britney Spears didn't perform this year, she did land on the stage a couple times when she took home best pop video, and more significantly, the Video Vanguard award. The pop star received the big honor for her years of memorable music videos, and to drive the point home, MTV trotted out a squad of Britney look-alikes to rock the looks of her videos and dance while a montage of them played in the background. Watch it now!

Britney, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Kanye, Justin and More Make a Memorable VMA Night

Lauren Turner — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 04:52:51 PDT

The MTV VMAs were packed with excitement in LA tonight. The show opened with a performance by Lady Gaga in character as Jo Calderone, which she even maintained when presenting Britney Spears with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award later in the night. Kanye West and Jay-Z took the stage after being announced as performers just hours before things got started. The Watch the Throne duo rocked their hit "Otis," though the song was almost disrupted by a fan who rushed the stage. Another hot performance of the evening was by Jay-Z's wife Beyoncé Knowles, who belted out "Love On Top," and showed off her growing baby bump in front of the audience. Justin Bieber took home the moon man for best male video while Katy Perry was honored with three awards, one of which she accepted with Kanye for their collaboration on "E.T." Russell Brand took the stage to introduce a special tribute to Amy Winehouse, which included a performance by Bruno Mars, and Kim Kardashian stepped out in a sexy dress as a presenter. Katie Holmes also presented an award and Jennifer Lawrence, who joined the show via video from the set of The Hunger Games in North Carolina, shared a short clip from the movie.
