Trend Alert: Blue Eye Accents at the 2008 VMAs

BellaSugar — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 13:00:11 -0700

Whether it be an icy shadow or a dark navy liner, one thing is for sure - blue was cool at last night's VMAs. I love how Bar Refaeli, Stephanie Pratt, and Pink went for frosty versions to bring brightness to their eyes. Rihanna and Ashlee Simpson opted for a more smoky edge, while Christina Aguilera added her own unique (as usual) take on the trend. Do you think you'll be wearing any of these blue-hued looks?

Who Was Worst Dressed at the VMAs?

PopSugar — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 12:00:26 -0700

Most of the ladies sparkled and shined on the VMA red carpet last night, but there were a handful of dresses that we didn't love as much as the others. Lauren Conrad is running away with the best dressed crown, but who do you think was the worst dressed on the VMA red carpet?

Icons and Idols Party the Night Away at the Chateau

Molly — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 11:30:41 -0700

The night didn't end with Kanye's post-VMAs performance as the stars headed out to the after parties. The girls of The Hills posed together at the Paramount Studios bash before Audrina headed to InTouch Weekly's Icons and Idols party at Chateau Marmont. The Veronicas, Leona Lewis and Good Charlotte all hit the stage performing fun sets for the packed room. We were lucky enough to be there and have some great sightings like the girls of 90210, Dave Annable from Brothers and Sisters and even Ryan Phillippe who stayed covert in his favorite hat. Downstairs, Samantha Ronson spun while Lindsay Lohan topped off her very busy weekend - Fashion Week to Toronto to the VMAs - sitting on the booth right next to her girl chatting with friends and looking hot wearing a very revealing halter top.

The Veronica's kicked things off great but it was Leona Lewis who got the crowd excited. In fact, her performance was so hot that Kid Rock had to take off his shirt - we know he loves a woman that actually sings, ha. When Good Charlotte performed their hits, Mischa Barton was front and center in a very flower-child headband and Paris Hilton excitedly cheered Benji on from right next to the stage. Sadly, no Nicole Richie there to hear Joel make lots of jokes to the crowd since she and Harlow were in NYC.

What Was Your Favorite Performance at the VMAs?

BuzzSugar — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 11:30:41 -0700

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?

2008 MTV Video Music Awards: Best Dressed

FabSugar — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 10:00:46 -0700

Did you notice how much sparkle there was last night at the 2008 MTV VMAs? But shine didn't necessary equal standing out on the red carpet. Two sequined ladies that did wow you were Miley Cyrus in her flapper-inspired dress and Audrina Patridge in her sexy gold number. Lauren Conrad's revealing yet stylish white frock and Bar Refaeli's casual Hurley tank dress and Badgley Mischka statement jewels also appealed to you. You didn't love Nicky Hilton's Opening Ceremony LBD so much, but I always have to back up a girl who takes a risk. Between all of us, the candidates for best dressed at the VMAs has been narrowed down to Miley, Bar, Lauren, Audrina, and Nicky. Who wins your vote?

The Resurrection of Britney Spears and More VMA Winners

PopSugar — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 08:30:37 -0700

Britney Spears was greeted with cheers of excitement, which must have boosted her confidence before finally scoring her first VMA. The good luck kept coming as she took home three moonmen last night! Britney was "speechless" but then added, "Oh, my goodness, thank you! I first wanna thank God for blessing me like this. My family ... my two beautiful boys for inspiring me everyday." At the end of the show, Russell called it "the resurrection of Britney Spears" which we couldn't agree with more. You all thought she would win but she wasn't the only one who scored last night - click here for all the 2008 MTV VMA winners! Chris Brown, the Pussycat Dolls, and Tokio Hotel also took home trophies and don't forget, you too can be a winner like the VMA presenters by entering to win the fabulous goody bag they took home last night.

VMA Host Calls Bush a "Retarded Cowboy" - Over the Line?

CitizenSugar — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 07:09:44 -0700

British comedian Russell Brand hosted the MTV Video Music Awards last night and proved in the current climate, not even handing out trophies for music videos is immune from a healthy dose of politicization. Brand's assessment of President George Bush was more than pointed. He said:

Some people, I think they're called racists, say America is not ready for a black president. But I know America to be a forward thinking country because otherwise why would you have let that retard and cowboy fella be president for eight years? We were very impressed. We thought it was nice of you to let him have a go, because, in England, he wouldn't be trusted with a pair of scissors.

Shots of the audience, including Britney Spears and not-of-voting-age-yet Miley Cyrus, looked stricken by the riff. Brand went on to appeal “on behalf of the world," that people vote for Barack Obama.

Reviews of the performance have been mixed, with the LA Times saying, "The 2008 VMAs were poised to mark the return of Britney Spears. Instead, they will go down in history as the night when that English guy from Forgetting Sarah Marshall almost made the Jonas Brothers cry." One MTV fan said, "Russell WHO? I didn't realize this show was an Osama [sic] campaign rally. This British nobody looks like he was pulled from the ranks of the homeless - with his unshaved look, rats' nest hair-do and foul mouth." The New York Times was more appreciative of the "manic, intelligent English comedian." Were you?

Britney's Big Night & Russell Brand's Bad Antics

PopSugar — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 07:03:30 -0700

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. Rihanna looked amazingly badass twice -opening the show with "Disturbia" and later doing a duet with T.I. 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 awards! So much to talk about, what was your favorite part?

Love It or Hate It? It's Britney, B----.

BellaSugar — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 07:00:32 -0700

Miss Britney Jean Spears is back! At last year's disastrous VMAs, she looked lost, hurt, and confused. But last night, Brit picked up a few awards, giving her plenty to smile about.

What a difference a year makes! I haven't covered Britney's style very much over the last year, because let's face it: She's had much more important things to worry about than how she looks. With that said, though, she seems much more confident and healthy these days, and if looking this coiffed and glossed is part of her comeback, I'd say she's doing a fine job. Would you?

2008 MTV VMAs: Winners And Wicked Performances

PopSugarUK — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 05:15:00 -0700

As I told you earlier, Britney Spears won three awards last night, sweeping the board at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards. After her cringeworthy comeback performance last year, it felt like this year she'd finally got it all together - she looked stunning in her mini-dress as she opened the show with a skit featuring Jonah Hill (UK readers, you can watch it all unfold on MTV tonight from 8pm). Rihanna, T.I, Christina Aguilera and the Jonas Brothers also put on some memorable performances, with Pink's spectacle of a performance standing out as a particular highlight.

Host Russell Brand has definitely split opinion, much as he does in the UK - you definitely either love him or you hate him! A remark about President Bush possibly didn't warm him to some members of the audience early on, plus a couple of British slang remarks appeared to confuse the international audience - for instance, it appears "yobbos" is not used across the pond! I can't wait to watch it in full tonight to see if he got lost in translation, or if he was off his game.
