The MTV Video Music Awards are airing live tonight. I bet there’s a slight live-to-air delay though, just because MTV is committed to being “edgy,” so there will be lots of curse words to bleep out. But the show goes on at 9 pm, and MTV airs a pre-show starts at 8 pm. CB and I will be tweeting tonight – you can follow me here, and you can follow CB here. We’ll have lots of VMA coverage tomorrow morning, starting bright and early!
This year’s VMAs should be pretty great, gossip-wise. While Taylor Swift wants everyone to know that she’s sitting this one out voluntarily (likely story), everybody else will be there. Beyonce is performing (for sure now), and she’ll probably win several of the big awards. Kanye West is getting four minutes to do whatever he wants. Britney Spears is making her big VMA comeback to promote her new album. Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj are performing. Nick Jonas will perform his new single, and I’m looking forward to The Chainsmokers’ first VMA performance – they’re doing “Closer” with Halsey.
One of the biggest moments of the evening will be Rihanna’s performance as she accepts the Video Vanguard Award. Apparently, she’s going to bring it. I hope she performs “Needed Me,” just because that’s easily my favorite off of her new album. And since Rihanna is still banging Drake on the downlow – meaning SHE doesn’t want everyone to know and HE wants everyone to know – she just had to acknowledge her boyfriend/lover/downlow hook-up in some way. Especially since Drake is madly in love with her, to the point where he bought a billboard to congratulate her. Rihanna posted this… I love her comment. Drake IS extra.
When he extra ??!!!
