If you’re into awards shows, I’ve got one for you to watch this weekend. The 2008 MTV Video Music Awards will air this Sunday, September 7 at 9 p.m. Britney Spears, who has hopefully put her tumultuous year behind her, will be opening the show, but not performing (sorry Britaddicts). After her disastrous performance last year, I don’t blame her. Actor and comedian Russell Brand and his plethora of hair will host this year’s show, which will feature performances by Christina Aguilera, Rihanna and girl-kisser Katy Perry, who will be singing Madonna’s “Like a Virgin.” How appropriate. After swearing he would never return to another VMA show, Kanye West will be closing the night out with a performance as well
The VMAs will be broadcast from the Paramount Studios lot in Hollywood and will also feature performances by Pink, Paramore, Lil Wayne and Kid Rock. Presenters will include Jamie Foxx, Chace Crawford, Slash, Taylor Swift, Shia LaBeouf, Paris Hilton (really?) and all your favorites from The Hills, including Lauren and Speidi (Spencer and Heidi). God of the Sea Michael Phelps, Miley Cyrus, Lindsey Lohan, Scarlet Johansson, Ciara, Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens will also present awards
If you plan on watching, you might want to take a second and vote for someone in the Best New Artist category, the only category in which you get to pick the winner. The nominees include:
- Miley Cyrus - 7 Things
- Katy Perry - I Kissed a Girl
- Jordin Sparks - No Air
- Taylor Swift - Teardrops on my Guitar
- Tokio Hotel - Ready, Set, Go!
Yea, I’m not excited about those choices either. If I was forced to choose, I would probably go with Tokio Hotel mostly because a) they’re German, b) the lead singer, Bill Kaulitz looks like Sonic the Hedgehog and David Bowie’s lovechild and c) I don’t want to give Miley, Katy or Jordin the satisfaction of winning.
Pussycat Dolls, Chris Brown and Katy Perry round out many of the nominations. For a full list, visit the VMAs online.

the best part of the VMA’s was Kanye West’s performance at the end… the worst part was the host (what’s with the accent?)
