The VMAs happened last night, if you've been living under a rock for the past few weeks (or, if you're like me, had to evacuate for two days while that bitch Irene frigged up most of your stuff) and from everything I've seen, the recaps, the videos, the photos ... There's a slot to be said about this year's show. For example:
-I don't think it was an accident that Justin Bieber was photographed with a snake in his hand
-Katy Perry looked like a hot pile of shit
-Britney Spears definitely ...
At last night's VMAs, Beyonce showed up in a red muu muu, where her bump was undeniable. Even though everyone already knew she was pregnant the second she walked in the door, she took the announcement even further - she performed her single 'Love on Top,' and afterward, opened her sequined jacket and rubbed her baby bump while the crowd cheered and Jay-Z smiled hugely from the audience and I CRIED. Seriously, real tears. I know it's an extreme thing, that a Beyonce-Jay-Z baby could move me to tear...
Never one to be outshone, Lady Gaga posed as her alter ego, studly Jo Calderone, all night at the VMAs. Some folks have already said that Gaga's shtick is tired, but I thought her performance last night was priceless.
She did it as a full-on drag king, too, a totally cocksure spoof of masculinity. (Britney seemed both flattered and terrified of "Jo" when they shared the stage; Jo was eyef--cking Brit-Brit pretty hardcore.)
Gawker has video of Jo Calderone's opening monologue as well as his Britney tribute. Take a peek!
I suspect that Gaga is most confident when she can disappear into costumes---in live interviews she always sounds so rattled!---and I couldn't help but think that playing "Jo" gave Stefani Germanotta the confidence and oomph to, well, be herself. (I don't buy the "misunderstood artiste" act for one minute, Stefani!)
Admittedly, my accolades might be in the minority---others are saying the whole thing was awkward and weird. Where do you weigh in? />

The Washington Post givesAdele's no-frills performance of "Someone Like You" its unofficial Best Live Performance of the VMAs award.
The Washington Post:
So what was her gimmick? Standing in one spot in an elegant dress and belting the heck out of her song "Someone Like You." That was it. And it was precisely that simple, classy approach that earned her a standing ovation from the crowd and offered further proof that she is one of the most universally embraceable artists in contemporary pop music.
Seriously high praise. What did you think? (I thought she was a little pitchy, but for a live performance? Let's give credit where it's due---Adele is pretty wonderful.) />Get More: 2011 VMA, Music, Adele

Well, the next time you hear from me, chickadees, the Video Music Awards 2011 will have come and gone. Here's what to expect:
- Lady Gaga is thrilled to be the opening act.
- Adele is also slated to perform, along with Beyoncé, Chris Brown, and others.
- There's no host this year.
- E! suspects that Kanye West and Jay-Z will give a surprise performance.
- Gasp! The Hunger Games trailer will premiere during the ceremony.
- Katy Perry, Adele, Tyler the Creator, the Beastie Boys, and Bruno Mars all received noms for the prized Video of the Ye...
I love Chaz Bono---I do---but this cannot be what Dancing with the Stars execs meant when they claimed they were only signing big, BIG stars to the show's roster next season. Because, to be fair, Chaz's only real claim to fame is having been born to Cher.
Still, TMZ reports that Bono will be a contestant in the new season of Dancing with the Stars---and yes, since you secretly are wondering, he'll be coupled with a lady.
Last week, TMZ also reported that the Dancing with the Stars set ...
Is this normal? I think I go to the beach once, maybe twice a year, yet every photo I've ever seen of LeAnn Rimes has seemingly been of the country star either at the beach or poolside. That isn't healthy, right?
Another thing that is utterly foreign to me: tassels on a bikini. (See them? They're on her lower half.)
What are those, even? Is that an actual fashion trend? Do the tassels serve a legitimate function? Is there a danger of her pink skivvies randomly flying off her tiny body? Are the...
I grew up in a part of coastal Texas where they gave out "hurricane tracking maps" every year at all the local H-E-B grocery stores. Then, on the nightly news, the weathermen would give the coordinates of each new tropical storm, and you could follow along! Parts of my hometown are still in ruins from a hurricane that blew through before I was even alive.
I guess what I'm saying is, maybe this lady has the right idea. (No, what I'm really saying is, stay safe, East Coast.) />

the VMA's. one day a year when MTV pretends to still care about music. I'm drawing a line in the sand. f---ck you VMA's.
I'll admit that Adam Levine's tendency to mouth off---here, there, on Twitter, anywhere!---actually makes me like him a little more. But I'm not altogether sure that it's a wise move to willfully get yourself blacklisted by MTV, seeing as you're now a Career Music Judge, Mr. Adam Levine.
Unrelated: who's thrilled about the return of The Sing-Off?! (That's the show Adam...
I get so sick and tired of celeb stories about breakups and skeeve (nude pic scandals, however, get a pass from me). Generally, I'd much rather read about heroicism. For instance: Harrison Ford making superhero rescues in his helicopter, Ryan Gosling breaking up brawls, or anything---just, like, anything---about Mighty Sean Bean. Stars! They're occasionally nothing like us!
So here's a nice one: Brad Pitt actually rescued a woman on the set of his new zombie flick, World War Z.

Earlier this week, reports emerged that Minka Kelly split from her boyfriend of three years, handsome baseball dude Derek Jeter.
Now Page Six reports that the breakup came "out of left field" (their accidental pun! Not mine!), stunning even the couple's closest friends. The report adds that Derek Jeter was none too happy with Minka Kelly's Esquire photoshoot. (By all other accounts, of course, their split was "amicable.")
But there's one more wrinkle to the story, and his name is Ramon Rodrigu...
