UPDATE: You can read Taylor Swift’s response here.
UPDATE: You can read Kanye West’s “apology” here.
Let’s just make this clear—this stunt was not orchestrated like Bruno’s moment with Eminem.
During tonight’s MTV Video Music Awards, Kanye West stunned the audience—and an already stunned Taylor Swift—with a declaration that will be talked about for quite some time. While accepting an award for Best Female Video, the country singer was interrupted by the rapper who was upset about Beyonce’s loss in the category.
Although Kanye is known for acting like a child when he is not presented an award, he felt it was necessary to defend Ms. Knowles’ honor during Taylor’s moment on stage. (Based on the shocked expression on Beyonce’s face, she clearly didn’t want his help.) Unfortunately, that left the beautiful 19-year-old standing there with nothing left to say.

VIDEO: Preview Season 5 of The Hills

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, MTV, Video,
Apparently I didn’t need to watch Laguna Beach to know that I’m not a Kristin Cavallari fan. (That said - I’m also not a Lo fan, a Stephanie fan, a Brody fan…)
Based on this preview, I now know everything I need to about the upcoming season of The Hills: Justin Bobby had his cowboy hat stolen by Spencer Pratt, Kristin (Lauren’s replacement) is kinda like herpes and Heidi Montag will not be a mother anytime soon (thank goodness).
If you feel compelled to find out more, tune in to MTV on Tuesday, September 29th.

DJ AM Talked About Holding Crack Pipe to MTV

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Reality, Cable, MTV, News, Video,
Adam Goldstein’s sudden death on Friday came just weeks before a reality project he had been working on was set to premiere.
Goldstein (a.k.a. DJ AM) had been collaborating with MTV on an Intervention-esque series for the channel. In the eight episodes already shot, Adam, a former drug user, devoted his time to help others with addiction. Now it’s not known whether Gone Too Far will ever air.
Although official an autopsy on the 36-year-old has not yet been completed (toxicology and tissue results are still needed), sources are claiming that drugs were found in Goldstein’s apartment at the time of his death. Adam, who may have been distraught over a recent breakup, was reportedly in the possession of crack when his body was discovered.

Britney Spears and Russell Brand in New VMA Plug

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Music, Cable, MTV, Commercials, Video,
At this time last year, Britney Spears was still trying to learn Russell Brand’s name. This time around, she can’t stop repeating it.
In this commercial for next month’s VMAs, the pop princess not-so-secretly wonders if she’ll score a personal invite from the two-time host. “Should I have played it up more when he was flirting with me last year? I have to admit there is something sexy about his dangerous ways,” she asks.
Meanwhile, the comedian worries he may have offended her during their last series of spots. “Some of those things I said could have been construed as offensive. I hope she don’t think ill of me.”
The 2009 Video Music Awards air live on September 13.

Paris Hilton Revealed in New Documentary

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Specials, Cable, MTV, Gossip, News, Rumors,
Near the beginning of the Paris Hilton documentary, which recently aired on MTV, Hilton stated, “I didn’t really plan this, it just happened.”
“This” would be her unprecedented fame and fortune—the empire she created from simply being an heiress. “I haven’t really done anything I’m ashamed of,” she added.
Clips, weird camera angles and little snippets of interviews made the documentary highly confusing, not at all cohesive. In addition to following Paris around, MTV cameras addressed Kathy and Rick Hilton, Donald Trump, and others who have helped shape the heiress’s life.
