Aguilera and apologies

After a quick cut of "Shut Up And Let Me Go" by The Ting Tings, a masked Slipknot entered with a trashed McLovin'.

Then, Jordin Sparks called out all the "sluts" in the house and her and John Legend announced T.I. He shared the stage with Rihanna, who sported major A Flock of Seagulls hair. Girlfriend needs to rethink her stylist.

So what? MTV

Russell Brand kind of bombed with the crowd, but that's probably because all the Hollywood airheads couldn't understand his British accent. I thought he was hilarious -- a foul-mouthed breath of fresh air.

Rockers Paramore brought the noise with an amped-up performance of "Misery Business."

Gold records

Demi Moore announced that Chris Brown won Best Male Video for his song "With You."

Taylor Swift announced the Jonas Brothers performance. Does that mean that she's dating one of them? Girls screamed a lot as the brother band broke out into an impromptu rock show in the middle of Paramount's back lot.

Brand spanking new

Britney Spears kicked off the 25th year of the VMAs with a lame comedy sketch with Jonah Hill and a short announcement. (The folks at MTV trusted her to read a teleprompter, but not to perform.)

The 2008 MTV VMAs are about to kick off at Paramount Pictures in Los Angeles.
The red carpet featured some awkward moments.

T-Pain arrived on an elephant.
Miley Cyrus and Katie Petty walked in together.
Kid Rock and Michael Phelps did an interview.

MTV pulled out all the stops this year VJ Sway was on limo watch in a helicopter. Apparently it's go big or stay home.

The music mix

We don't need any more of this. Ever. Seriously.

Is Britney Spears going to get another shot at the MTV VMAs? She's already been used in the promos, but remember what happened last year? (Maybe you'd rather not.) Is this a good idea when she seems to finally be getting back to normal?

Weekend roundup

M.I.A. makes better music than Miley.

No double entry necessary this time, despite the long weekend.
I ate dinner at the new downtown restaurant MB & Company Thursday night. I put on my fancy pants and fliffed. (I used that phrase way too much when I started the roundups, so I retired it temporarily. But I missed it a little. Consider it back in action now.) It was a little strange to dine at a place where I didn't have to order at a counter, but I managed to keep it classy...at least for one night.

Barack 'n roll

Who thinks we might see Barack Obama dance on stage tonight during his address at the Democratic National Convention? He has the moves of Rick Astley.
