I sped through this tonight.

Britney opened and looked half way hot. Huge improvement but the performance wasn't anything special.

Rihanna was smoking hot all night and won everything she was up for. She even performed with Fallout Boy and Chris Brown.

Speaking of Chris Brown, never heard of the guy, but his performance was pretty insane.

Gym Class Heroes wins Best New Artist

Justin Timberlake won a lot too.

"VMA losses spark another Kanye tantrum LAS VEGAS - Kanye West says he'll never return to MTV. The 29-year-old rapper, who was shut out at the Video Music Awards on Sunday night, threw a tantrum in front of media and crew backstage as the MTV show was ending. West, waiting for an elevator in a crowded hallway, began yelling about losing all five categories for which he was nominated, including male artist of the year. "That's two years in a row, man ... give a black man a chance," said West, stomping around his entourage and directing his comments at a reporter. "I'm trying hard man, I have the ... No. 1 record, man." It was the latest outburst from West at an awards show. Last year, he crashed the stage at the MTV Europe Awards after not winning for best video. West's latest album, "Graduation," is due out Tuesday. 50 Cent has said he'd stop making solo records if West's CD outsells his "Curtis" album, also set for release Tuesday, in their first week out. The 31-year-old rapper has been riled by forecasts that sales of West's "Graduation" could rival those for his CD. West and 50 Cent appeared together at the VMAs to present an award."

Stop bitching 'ye. You're 29, not 8.

I have a lot of performances and the kid rock scuffle there

Chris Brown's performance was good, but it's getting sucked off simply b/c very few people put on a half-way decent performance anymore.

"Of course, it would've been rad if Justice's "D.A.N.C.E." had won Best Video, if only so there could have been a repeat of Kanye's bumrush at last year's MTV Europe Awards, when he protested Justice beating out his "Touch The Sky" video. A Kanye/Justice onstage rematch throwdown would've been right up there with other famous past VMA feuds like RuPaul versus Milton Berle, Madonna versus Courtney Love, and Eminem versus Triumph The Insult Comic Dog. Oh well. Tommy Lee and Kid Rock supposedly did get into some sort of skirmish in the audience, but of course the cameras conveniently failed to capture that Kodak moment. Lame! It also would have been cool if Peter Bjorn & John (aka the Swedes behind that whistling song, "Young Folks") had won for Best New Artist, but let's face it, no one watching MTV these days knows who Peter, Bjorn, or John are."

"Just to update the fans (if there are any here) but I just got a phone call that Brent Hinds has been placed in the hospital after he was brutally beaten in Las Vegas sometime following their performance at the VMAs. All I know right now is he suffered some head trauma. My greatest hope is that he comes out alright. I'll update if I hear anything else."
