The VMAs Atrocity!

So if you guys missed the VMAs last night--good for you! Unfortunately, it reminded me of the BET awards, in that it was disorganized, poorly planned, had bad performances, and a fight as well. What the H was up with the performances in the different parties? Different artist performed in various rooms of the Palms casino, with the actual show being held downstairs. I was sooo tired of seeing Kanye with that horrendous fit and awful white glasses. It looked like the Justin/Timbaland party was by far the most crunk--but they could have just performed on the main stage and left the outside activities alone.

First and foremost, let me address the opening "performance" (if you can call it that) with Brittany Spears. I was really routing for her to prove everyone wrong and make a great comeback, but it was more like a train wreck. She couldn't even lip sync with feeling and looked as though she was seriously under the influence of something. I actually like that song, but its like she forgot how to perform. The stage presence, dance technique and sex appeal that made her famous (because we all know it wasnt the voice) has disappeared! Mike's description was that she was moving in slow motion while everyone around her was at full speed. The audience shots are priceless-I've never seen that many bewildered faces at the end of a performance before!

Did anyone peep her slight stumble in the beginning and overall cluelessness throughout the song? She was originally going to perform a magic trick with the help of Chris Angel where she would appear through floating mirrors, but MTV cut it due to insurance reasons. Finally, what was up with her fit? I know Brit Brit isn't the classiest chick but COME ON! The entire thing was TERRIBLE. What are your thoughts?

I must also address the Tommy Lee/Kid Rock debacle. While Pamela Anderson was on stage, it was clear Tommy was heckling and making comments to which she responded, on air "Stop Tommy." He apparently continued to taunt Kid Rock throughout the show, and finally Kid couldn't take it anymore. He clocked him during the Alicia Keys performance and both were removed from the show. Here is what Jamie Fox and Diddy had to say about it. Is it wrong that I love how ninja-ish Jamie Fox acts at these shows?



UPDATE--HERE IS WHAT TOMMY LEE SAYS HAPPENED ON HIS MY SPACE (Grown men post on myspace?--Wait I'm grown, never mind!):

Yeah!! .....here I am minding my own biz having a great time with my friend Criss Angel (magician) and watching the MTV awards in the front row saying hello to all my friends......Pamela comes and sits on my lap who I love and adore....and also say hello to my friend Travis Barker and his wife!.....and i get a text from another friend P. Diddy and he says come sit with me.....and he's sitting with Miss HOT Megan FOX so I go over and sit with P! Not a minute later and Alicia Keys starts her amazing performance....("I apologize sweetie.....I had nothing to do with the timing and disrespect")......back to the stupid-ness!!....so..... I get a tap on the shoulder from Kid Pebble...I stand up and embrace him with a semi hug and say "Hey dude...What up"?? He punches me in the face.....well if ya wanna call it that!?....more like a bitch slap!.......Wuss!! Anyway....i go to knock this jealous country bumpkin the f$%k OUT....and before I can have a meeting with my fist and his ugly ass mug ....security guards... grab me and haul my ass outta the award show! So I'm fine and of course leave to my room with police and owner of the Palm's George Maloof......the rest is paper work and bullshit!... Anyway...... I would like to apologize to Alicia and George and MTV for the disrespectful bullshit caused by a piece of shit called Kid Pebble!!
