Do You Want To See Russell Brand Host The MTV VMAs Again?

PopSugarUK — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 09:26:42 -0700

It's being reported that MTV will announce that Russell Brand will host the MTV Video Music Awards 2009, despite the controversy he caused last year when he took the hosting gig. He will be the first host to take the reins of the show for two years in a row! The awards are due to take place at Madison Square Gardens in September, apparently with a West Side Story theme, but do you want to see Russell host the show again? Or did his digs at the Jonas Brothers last year make you think he doesn't deserve the job? Let me know!

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 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.

Dramatic Dresses And Dapper Dudes at The MTV VMAs

PopSugarUK — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 03:09:12 -0700

LA was host to the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards last night, and nominees, presenters and performers flocked to the red carpet for the show. Black seemed to be the order of the day as Christina Aguilera, Ashlee Simpson, Miley Cyrus and Heidi Montag showed up in gothic tones, meanwhile Heidi's The Hills arch-enemy Lauren Conrad showed up in a gorgeous short white dress. Pink wore a striking red and black striped number, while Katy Perry turned up in... well, not a lot actually!

I can't wait to hear what you think of all the red carpet attire, so once you've flicked through my gallery of photos let me know your thoughts! The men were either suave in suits like Chace Crawford, Drake Bell, Zac Efron and Josh Peck, or casual in the case of Jonah Hill, Kid Rock and Corbin Bleu.

Stay tuned for the winners, and lots of photos from the show. But for many more photos from last night's arrivals at the MTV VMAs, just read more.

Last year was supposed to be the big Britney Spears comeback show at the MTV Video Music Awards - but this year marked Britney's real return. Britney won her first VMA (and, before long, her second and third), taking home the moonmen for Best Female Video, Best Pop Video, and Video of the Year for "Piece of Me."

Russell Brand hosted the 25th ceremony, which included today's chart-toppers putting their own spins on classic songs (Katy Perry singing a snippet of "Like a Virgin," etc). While Britney was the night's big winner, others who will need to find a space on their shelves for a moonman include Chris Brown, the Pussycat Dolls, and Tokio Hotel.

Russell Brand Is Far From Bland

PopSugarUK — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 04:00:00 -0700

Russell Brand was full of smiles as he went to the cinema in Hollywood. The comedian is spending more and more time in LA, as the biggest presenting gig of his life approaches.

When he's not spending time chatting up mannequins, Russell will no doubt be busy preparing for the MTV Video Music Awards.

Following that VMA promo with Britney - where the singer says Brown instead of Brand - we've got more surname fun as LL Cool J calls Mr Brand a word that no one could accuse him of being.

I cannot wait for 7 September. America watch out: Russell Bland, I mean Brown, I mean Brand, is about to take over your airwaves.

First Glance: Russell & Britney's VMA Promos!

PopSugarUK — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0700

So here they are, the much talked about MTV Video Music Awards promo spots featuring Britney Spears and our very own Russell Brand... or is it Brown?

I'm loving that in the first one they're addressing that some people in the US don't really know who Russell is, that Britney is so together and fabulous (yay!), and the elephant in the room!

Who knew that Russell would be the pop princess's saviour? She looks so happy and relaxed! Let me know what you think of them too!
