Random Photos Part One - MTV Video Music Awards
Three parts today.
Just be grateful I did not post the picture of Katy Perry and Russell Brand tonguing each other. I almost could not finish eating my lunch. Almost.
Nicki Minaj gets ready for flu season.
Miley Cyrus without any bare skin? That is the shocker of the night.
Selena Gomez goes for the S&M look.
You know your career is almost over when you start trying to look like Aaron Carter.
Does Paul Rudd look like he is getting younger? Botox?
Britney Spears always wanted to f**k Billy Bob Thornton, so she chose his double.
Everyone picks a different camera.
This is Katie Holmes' flirty look. Probably does not get to practice it much at home.
Foster The People.
"Joe" kind of looks like that guy from Nickelodeon. You know, the one who lost all the weight. Guess Lady GaGa used him as her inspiration.

Yah, Lady Gaga does. The one who was part of a double act TV show. She tries way too hard.
ReplyDeletelady gaga looks like she is channeling Billy Joe from Green Day......and failing miserably
ReplyDeleteWell, if you look at Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj, you realize that Gaga has nowhere else to go than drag. I think she looks good as a dude...and as far as I'm concerned, with a voice like that, she can dress however the hell she wants!
ReplyDelete*points out grammatical error/s in own post*
ReplyDeleteI get the impression that Gaga is moving in another direction. With Katy, Rihanna and Nicki being so out there, she had to find another way to present herself and still get attention. Doing the transgendered thing seems logical. She does wear it well. And being one of a few pop singers that can actually sing, I cut Gaga some slack. She seems self-aware and pretty smart.
ReplyDeleteThe Jersey Shore women went crazy with the plastic surgery, they all look like they went "Hollywood" with their faces.
ReplyDeleteSorry but that Gaga drag skit was painful to watch, it fell flat on its face and lacked whatever she was going for.
Man, you know the fashion at an award show bottoms out when Miley Cyrus has one of the better, more sophisticated looks on the red carpet. (And she only looks okay.)
ReplyDeleteI thought the whole GaGa thing was very "meh" and I consider myself a fan of hers. All these women just need to study Adele as far as I'm concerned. True talent doesn't have to call attention to itself with ridiculous gimicks. Adele just sings great songs, beautifully.
Agree about Adele - love her!
ReplyDeleteI much better look for Miley. Much.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I actually kind of *love* Snooki's dress.
All these women just need to study Adele as far as I'm concerned. True talent doesn't have to call attention to itself with ridiculous gimmicks. Adele just sings great songs, beautifully.
ReplyDeleteI like Adele a lot, but we only need one of her. Music, and life in general, is better when there are different POVs. Imagine if all of us here had the same mindset. How drab that would be!
I never thought I'd ever say this, but Miley looks better than most of 'em.
ReplyDeleteWhat in the hell is Katie Holmes doing there?
Adele was amazing! I thought Beyonce's performance was cute & loved Jay & Kanye doing Otis.
ReplyDeleteLady Gaga's voice was amazing, but the Jo Calderone thing is awkard & really fell flat. She seemed like she was trying to hard.
But without a doubt, the worst performance was Chris Brown. It was awful, which he totally deserves. I've seen people commenting it was good...wtf were you watching??? Must be the "Team Breezy" fanatics bc when you lip sync worse than Britney, you know it is bad.
And Lil Wayne needs to lay off the autotune as well.
T & Lo's fashion site called Nicki's dress the "Island of Misfit Ho's" lol.
ReplyDeletegaga looks like the karate kid...but I give her credit for balls...she is once gutsy chick.
ReplyDeleteAdele was flawless so was Beyonce, but being different is cool also.
I meant one gutsy chick.
ReplyDeleteBritney and those goddamn ankle boots. When you have STUMPY legs, you do NOT wear ankle boots! She is so dumb.
ReplyDeleteMid 80's--Grammy Awards....Annie Lennox sang Sweet Dreams dressed as Elvis. Looks the same.
ReplyDeleteStarting to realize Gaga isn't all that original...she's just loud.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU for Foster the People. I feel like a dirty old lady but omgosh, that Cubbie is HAWT. Love them.
ReplyDeleteI don't get the Gaga thing, but I didn't watch the awards. Paul Rudd looks quite yummy.
Please make the Bieber thing go away.
AND WTF was that Minaj thing? Holy shit, that scared me.
Gaga does look like Josh! Hehe
ReplyDeleteI must be the only crazy one here, I saw Lady Gaga at lollapalooza last year and she was TERRIBLE!! I was all excited to hear her the show was stupid, singing lousy. She did more whining/talking then singing(and she wasn't hoarse). I ended up leaving...but you guys are right she has nowhere else to go, but to get in drag.
ReplyDeleteIts so many celebrities I wish would disappear....off topic DWTS is gonna be lousy too...
Why in the world is Bieber holding a snake? Ugh. I cannot wait for him to go away.
ReplyDeleteJustin bought a snake with him to the VMA's. He said the snake stretches out to about 4 feet long. That's about the same size as he is standing up.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet when Britney saw Justin's snake she laughed and hauled out her phone where she showed him this picture:

Then she said: "Bitch, THIS is how you bring a snake to the MVA's."
Thanks for the memory Jason, Britney and her snake looked great that night.
ReplyDeleteI like the oriental Katy Perry better than the cube-on-head version i saw elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteIf Nicki Minaj were as special as she thinks she is, she wouldn't need such a tacky-odd outfit to draw attention to herself.
Miley looks really good. Her makeup is natural, her hair is subdued, and her outfit is classy. I can only hope this is a sign that she's growing up and getting serious about her career (Wishful thinking, but one can hope...)
The top part of Selena's outfit is nice, but I'm not a fan of the mullet skirts. They just look odd.
Bieber, Bieber, Bieber ... don't you know flashing a label is so 2000-late? Especially when the clothes look like they were pulled from the Target clearance rack.
Britney looks good, except for the booties.
Jersey Shore looks okay for them, except for the Bubble-yum-looking girl in the middle. No idea who that is.
Katie also looks good except for the booties. What's with the stupid booties, anyway?
Joe does look a little like Josh Peck. I didn't see the show, so I don't know how the ensemble worked in context.
Britney's boyfriend does look like Billy bob Thornton from that movie "A Simple Plan."

I will say that I thought "Jo Calderone" was Adam Goldberg's clone. Also, that whole thing fell flat. Watching everyone look at her and squirming with uncomfortableness...Bizarre....boring, AWKWARD!
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm the only one who liked Gaga's performance.
ReplyDeleteI liked the idea of Gaga's performance, she just didn't execute it well, and she didn't stay consistent with it. She started her speech as 'Joe' then said I instead of she more than once so that killed the bit. Her bit with Britney wasn't too bad, but that whole moment was ruined when Britney suddenly started to introduce Beyonce. Huh?
ReplyDeleteI also thought of Annie Lennox doing Elvis on the Grammys years ago. It was brilliant, the smirk on her face was priceless.
The VMA's are such a joke in general, last night's show was a horrible mess. Only Bruno Mars, Adele, and Beyonce saved it.
...the best thing about Gaga's performance was the cut to Dave Grohl having an orgasm over Brian May.
ReplyDeleteAWESOME.
While I think Gaga's 'Joe' persona was awkward and flat at times, I really appreciated what I believe her message (what her message has always) been about. This is what I wrote on my facebook after watching it last night:
ReplyDelete"Lady Gaga was in her male character at the MTV Awards show. I've been reading up on the sociology of Gender for my new class and I was pretty impressed by the persistent in-you-face masculine role she donned. Gender is something YOU DO, not something YOU ARE. It is only when we stop policing gender boundries and become aware of how truly interchangable the mask of femininity and masculinity are that we will free ourselves. Thank's Gaga, for sharing a bit of this with the Jersey Shore generation~
btw- I thought Chris Brown's performance also sucked (and was so happy it did too!) I thought his lip syncing was horrible!
ReplyDeleteAnd the only good thing about the performance that Beyonce basically yodeled and phoned in was the end when she rubbed her belly and announced her pregancy and Jay-Z's and Kanye's over the top awesome proud jubilant reactions. I HATE when someone is so well known that they can just phone it in or do a mediocore job (like last night) and people still stand up and applaude or say how amazing they were. ugh.
Everything Gaga ever does is for attention. It's more about "look at me - I'm ORIGINAL!" than any type of message.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how gay men can do drag and people LOVE it, but a woman doing drag is just not as interesting.
Katie Holmes' legs bend backwards like my old Barbie doll.
ReplyDeleteTotal props to Bey for strutting on stage in high high heels and showing us the new line of her House of Derelict babymomma wear.
I have the pre-show and show taped but haven't had a chance to watch it yet.
ReplyDeleteMiley looks great!!
Paul Rudd gets hotter with age. Nice.
ReplyDeleteHe was the only one who looked good, IMo. Britney's guy- wtf is that hair?
The dresses on most were terrible. Beyonce- I am happy for her. And I think Jay-Z is adorable.
Unfortunately, Monica--there is nothing new with Lady Gaga. She has blatantly stolen ideas from forerunners like Grace Jones, Madonna and now Annie Lennox. What is really sad is someone with a huge talent like Adele will be ignored because she doesn't get half naked or don a meat dress and lip sync badly while chewing gum with her red weave waving in the fan induced wind while making out with one of her back up dancers while calling her fans a catchy moniker.
ReplyDeleteAudrey: Adele does just fine with critics and sales.
ReplyDeleteGaga's Joe persona reminds me of Garth Brooke's Chris Gaines phase. Embarassing.
ReplyDeleteLady GooGoo has no charisma. Whatever "it" is-she doesn't have it. That's why she is so painful to watch. Annie Lennox and Madonna (to some extent) have done the "I'm a man" thing with better results.
ReplyDeleteWonder why Madonna did not present Brit Brit with her award.
