Kanye Calls Out Britney

 

“I can’t believe she would perform. She hasn’t had a hit record in years,” he said, angry that MTV didn’t invite him to open the show. “Maybe my money’s not right. Maybe my skin’s not right.”

 

The ‘Jesus Walks’ star told US Weekly:

 

“Honestly, I really don’t care. I don’t give a fuck about Britney performing.”

 

“I should have opened the MTV awards because ‘Stronger’ is the number one album in the country,” he said.

 

“It just shows you that you have to do shit to get ratings, and maybe they feel like they will get more ratings with Britney.

 

“Britney’s song isn’t as good as ‘Stronger,’” Kanye complained. “This is some bullshit, and I don’t really care.”

This was the first time in ten years that I had no intent on watching it. I do not care. I remember watching the 97 VMAs, the 98 VMAs I dont recall that well. the 99 VMAs had Chris Rock's opening monologue, the return of Aerosmith and Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg reuniting. 2000 had Eminem dissing everyone in the crowd and leaving Fred Durst hanging ffor a high five and the guy from RATM climbing a wall to protest the loss of Best Rock Video to Limp Bizkit. 2001 had Michael Jackson's surprise return. 2002 had the Eminem/Triumph/Moby debacle. 2003 had Britney/Madonna kiss. Since then, nothing has happened. It's watered down. The fun is gone.

Man, Luke Perry & Fartman. Courtney Love & Madonna getting into a tiff. Manson in his thong doing "The Beautiful People". White Zombie tearin' it up.

 

Tonight we got the Timbaland Variety Show.

 

Jennifer Garner's "And the winner is. Gym. Class. Fallout." was my highlight. That and NO ONE ACCEPTING/CARING ABOUT the previously COVETED Best Female Artist award. What the fuck? They couldn't give it to the much more deserving Rihanna or Beyonce'? Hahahaha. Ludacris "Nah, I don't want that shit."

I love that MTV calls artists new just because they just started playing their music. You can't be a new artist if you have albums out already! They do this every f'n year!

Well that's the way the Grammys do it too. "New" means "came to prominence in the past year" or something.

 

Holy fuck was this show bad.

This is the worst awards show I have ever seen. All lip synching. So far there's been no whole songs sung.

 

Hey we just got another 6 seconds of Foo Fighters with a fucking ever-expanding blue box on the fucking screen for Rhapsody, whatever the hell that is. LOL @ Pay music service.

 

I remember as a youngster how fucking awesome the VMAs were. They may as well send Britney back out. If she's awake.

 

 

Granted, I didn't see more than 5 or so minutes of this show but it couldn't have been worse than the VMAs in Miami hosted by P.Diddy. Not possible. And before it became hip, FX used to air so many weird, meaningless award shows. There was one for DVD special features and one awarding movies and TV shows that were anti-smoking.

Rolling Stone referenced the P. Diddy VMAs and called it much worse.

 

Eminem no-showed, as did Fergie, Michael Jackson, George Michael, and a host of others. Sarah Silverman left. A 2nd Britney song was planned, says People.com.

Kanye's a bit of a twat, but I agree, "Stronger" is a good song (although it has just as much to do with Daft Punk's awesomeness as Kanye). I didn't watch the VMA's because I was watching 4400 and wouldn't have watched it anyways, so I can't say either way on Britney Spears' performance, but I can't imagine it was very good.

 

 

Anyways, the only award I remember the nominees for was best group, and hopefully the White Stripes won, but it was probably one of the 4 shitty bands that got nominated.

Oh my God, this show was like the death rattle of MTV. They have no idea what their audience is anymore. I seriously believe that 'MTV' will be dead within a year or two, at least re branded as a reality TV/celebrity network, maybe they'll keep the MTV name though.

I dont know why they keep inviting Em to the awards ceremony. He hasn't showed up for the last four years that they've invited him. If he's not winning an award, he's staying the hell home to produce his shitty beats.

Can someone get me a vid link to some of the more ridiculously bad points of the show? Like Brits lip synching no-sell I've been hearing about? How about the Gym Class Fallout line, and also the whole Ludicrous thing (and if that hasnt anything to do with the no sell of the Best Female Artist shit, I want to see that too).

 

The Miami VMAs seemed like someone was on acid who produced and directed it, the sets and layout was just fucking bizzare, the segments were completely strange, but at least SOME of the performances were ok, I think the Raconteurs had some little live dittys in there, but thats about all I can remember about it. All around though, this sounds like one of the bigger bombs laced with a major line of clusterfuck to boot.

 

With that said, I wouldnt expect MTV to replay it much, or maybe will just run a condensed version of it.

The best part of the whole show didn't make it to air. Kid Rock and Tommy Lee got in an actual fight and we missed it. It explains Diddy's comment though. And why the fuck did Shia Lebouf offer the Best Female artist award to Ludacris?

 

PS: The Timberlake party at his suite was more interesting than the actual VMA's. Hell same goes for Kanye and the Foo Fighters.

As a HUGE Britney mark I have to say that was fucking hideous, she looked lost and confused.

 

50 Cent shot was money, he's like "what the fuck is this".

 

And now Sarah Silverman BOMBS to complete silence.

 

 

That was tough to watch.

Fight Breaks Out Between Tommy Lee & Kid Rock At VMAs

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (September 9, 2007) – Two former husbands of Pamela Anderson engaged in a physical altercation at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards Sunday night.

 

The two men — Tommy Lee of the rock band Motley Crue and Kid Rock, appeared to get physical in the audience.

 

According to a source who witnessed the event, Tommy Lee was sitting with magician Criss Angel. The two went over to see Diddy who was sitting in close proximity to Kid Rock.

 

At some point after the twosome made their way over to Diddy, “all hell broke loose,” the source told Access.

 

People immediately gathered around the fracas and both Lee and Kid Rock were escorted out.

 

Angel followed shortly after, though it did not appear, the witness told Access, that the magician was escorted out.

 

It was unclear at the time of press, what the scuffle was over, but from the stage, actor Jamie Foxx made a reference to the incident, saying, “let’s stop all of this white on white crime.”

 

Anderson herself was at the event, and made an appearance on stage. She appeared to have brought magician Hans Klok to the show.

Tommy Lee getting escorted out.

TMZ has learned that the Las Vegas Police Department is on the hunt for Kid Rock after he allegedly "clocked" Tommy Lee at the MTV VMAs in Las Vegas Sunday night.

 

According to security at the Palms Hotel, where the awards took place, the LVPD has asked for Rock's room number at the hotel and any leads they might have regarding his current whereabouts.

 

Details as to what started the fight are still sketchy, but an eyewitness at the awards tells TMZ that "Tommy got it pretty bad."

 

Both Kid and Lee were escorted out of the awards by Palms security moments after the altercation, caught on camera by Reuters photographer Steven Marcus, took place.

 

TMZ has learned that Palms owner George Maloof was questioned by police, who was overheard telling cops, "I have no idea."

 

According to the AP, rap producer Rich Nice was an eyewitness. He says that although Kid Rock threw the only punch that landed, it was Tommy Lee who started the fight. "It looked like Tommy Lee initiated it because Kid Rock was ignoring him," said Nice, who was two tables away. "And Tommy Lee kind of antagonized him. And then when Tommy Lee stood up, it looked a little weird, like 'Yo, what?"'

 

"When Tommy stands up is when Kid hit him the first time with a backhand," Nice continued. "And then Tommy Lee looked like he was trying to get at him to aggressively retaliate and then Kid Rock hits Tommy Lee again -- bong. And then security grabs Tommy Lee in a headlock and pulls him off."

Las Vegas Metro Police sources tell TMZ that they have found Kid Rock and have questioned him.

 

While no arrest was made, it is unknown if Lee plans to press charges against Kid Rock in the near future.

Remember when this show used to mean something?

 

Back in the early/mid 90s it was must see. Hell I even used to watch the pre awards show. And the post show was always good for drunken tirades.

 

I haven't watched a full show since Chris Rock hosted in 99.

 

They always used to air it on a Thursday first week of September and it was always the talk of school the next day.

 

Just another example of the pathetic downfall of MTV

Jesus christ, and I thought the Miami show was like a fucking acid trip- this is way way WAY more intense/worse/what have you. This is some of the most surreal shit MTV has ever shit out of itself. This is the car crash effect, tenfold. So what exactly was the deal with this show, was this all celebrities/musicians "and friends" at all these places, including the "main stage" which seemed like a mid-sized nightclub turned into an awards show? I didnt get the point of what this was all supposed to be. "Yay, lets show everyone how silly, embarrasing, and fucked up they can be?"

 

Every clip I've seen of this show seems like the presenters/celebrities/etc arent really even clued into what they are supposed to say, its all improv, and everything from top to bottom is off cue and completely spontanious, from the performances (which seem to be cut in and out of as they are going on continously? I dont get it) to just about everything else.

 

Britney looked completely either not wanting to do her stuff at all or at the least, completely uninterested or far from ready to do so. Any sort of stage presence she once had is now completely gone. Just fucking do Penthouse already, might as well. Did she even know the lines to her OWN SONG?

 

Jennifer Garner not knowing the name of the band and yet, apparently upon opening the envelope, one would think it would be on there? And then an immediate cut to a party put on by Fall Out Boy?!

 

One other gem here too I saw - the Pamela Anderson part, which was preceded by Tommy Lee constantly badgering Pam about something as she's trying to talk on top of a table.

 

The Miss SC deal was absolutely hilarious - I have no idea what the fuck she was even trying to get at there. And she was reading from cue cards, I would assume. She fucked that up REAL good - and I dont know if it happened live, but she got completely cut the fuck off in mid-rambleness.

 

I dont think even Ludacris knew he was supposed to accept that award. You would think someone would have clued him into that, and pardon my ignorance but how in the fuck is he associated with Fergie anyway?!

 

Wow, I got to get me a copy of this show in its raw, live, form if possible. Their is no way they will show this "as is" ever again. If they do, its pretty much admitting complete failure on damn near about every level. The only saving grace here was a brief performance of the new Foo Fighters single.

The saving grace for me was the few mash-ups that they showcased. They even brought in Lemmy to do that "aftershow" with Foo Fighters.

 

But to reiterate on the bad, MY GOD this was bad. This was three hours of improvised lines, music and acting - the defining moment of this show has to be the look on Jennifer Garner's face when she realizes that Jamie Foxx just won't shut the fuck up. I mean, seriously Jamie, SHUT THE FUCK UP. I understand that you don't want to be there, but next time, please fucking mercy-kill the segment for the sake of everyone watching.

Do any of the main stage performers NOT lip-synch?!

 

That wasn't really the problem. It's that she made it so obvious that she just wasn't trying. She wasn't even moving her lips half the time. 50 Cent's reaction was priceless. I'm also glad that I'm not the only person that thought the opening Sarah Silverman segment was a disaster. The 1999 VMA's are still my favorite of all time. MTV desperately needs to go back to whoever was directing/producing this show in the 90's and give it a complete overhaul, or just give it a mercy kill.

 

Also, when did MTV only start doing just a small handful of awards? What happened to the best rock/rap/pop video awards? They're REALLY stretching when they do this "Quadruple Threat" shit.
