Need to Catch Up on The Hills?
I love watching The Hills kids kvell over
their own lives. I've missed the last few weeks, so I
just caught up on MTV.com, and found
everything is status quo (thank God). In last
night's episode, Heidi brings on the crazy as she
drags an apathetic Spencer to register for china.
(BTW, he still hasn't told his 'rents about their
engagement.) LC somehow feels a need to be Jason's
"friend" and he makes sure she's present for his
engagement announcement, which clearly is super
"friend"-ly.
Watch the above clip if only for the hilariously
embarrassing Heidi/ Spencer scene in Williams Sonoma.
The Morning After
Everyone. Thought. Britney. Bombed. (Seriously, guys. Bombed!)
That Perez post I told you about last night? 6,182
comments as of this morning! (See for yourself:
Perezelle) This morning, Perez
gives us his two cents.
Tommy Lee and Kid Rock are so chivalrous! Kid was even cited at the after party. (MTV.com
and AP)
Kanye totally divas out, never to return. (Mtv.com)
Chris Brown turns major heads, and his
backup dancer comes close to smacking Shia LaBeouf in his.
Britney Blew It
Obviously, we all tuned
in to the VMAs tonight to see Brit-Brit kick it
"Slave 4 U" style. No such luck. SOOO
disappointed. Like, sooo. I didn't really
mind her terrible outfit, nor did I mind the
incredibly out-of-sync-lip-syncing (was anyone
expecting her to actually sing? Seriously, lets not
go crazy here). Rather, it was the dancing that broke
my heart. Brit's choreography lacked its signature
"umph." She spent the entire number touching her
hair, like she couldn't believe it was fake or
something. I know she must have been nervous, but she
had an opportunity to bring it tonight. Blew it!
Everyone at the pre-show was cheering her on, so
excited for a comeback! BLEW IT! Sadly, "Gimme More"
left me, and I'm sure many others, not really wanting
to see any more of the new Brit.
Here's how my
night with the VMAs played
out:
9:00-- The Brit heard 'round the
world. So. Bad.
9:05-- Sarah Silverman comes out for the
intro, makes everything worse for Spears, calls her
kids "the most adorable mistakes she's ever seen."
Who says that?
9:16-- Out of curiosity, I check to see if
Perezelle posted anything about
the opening number. Not yet. Hmm...
9:25-- Chris Brown and Rihanna perform, he
dances like Usher pumped up on a ton of caffeine.
He's good though. Fun Billie Jean cover!
9:30-- Check Perez again—Sometime in the last
14 minutes, he posted the following: "How bad was
Brit, Y'All?" The body says simply "Discuss."
9:47-- There are 1,825 comments in response
to Perez's post.
9:51-- 2,417 comments
9:56-- The Hills girls present an
award. I don't know which award, because I'm
distracted by LC's dark mauve-ish shade of lipstick.
Looks good on her! (More on this later)
9:57-- 2,754. Clearly, Perez's readers have
strong opinions on the Britney matter.
9:58-- JT and Timbaland have an on-stage
lovefest, JT says Chris Brown makes him feel old.
Riiiiiight.
10:02- I check out MTV's site, to see what
they have going on. As promised, the Brit ringtones are available.
Contact me and I'll let you
know how to record one of these yourself.
10:05- Shia LaBeouf makes a joke that no one
gets, especially Ludacris.
10:14- MTV.com posted Brit's performance. I
can't watch the whole thing again, but here it is in
case you missed it:
10:30-
3,513 comments on Perez's single-word post.
10:31- Rihanna's performing. Again.
10:36- Alicia Keyes covers George
Michael's "Freedom."
10:46- Jamie Foxx goes on a rant
about some fight between Kid Rock and Tommy Lee that
I totally missed and I don't know how. Jennifer
Garner announces the winner of the "Best New Artist"
category is 'Gym Class Fallout.' (Wha?)
10:49- Miss "Such As" South Carolina
can't read teleprompters either. Someone needs to
tell this chick the world is laughing at—
not with— her.
10: 57-
Mary J declares every day 'Dre Day' in the world of
music.
11:01- No, really... how did I miss
that fight? Apparently Kid Rock walked right up to
Tommy Lee and punched him in the schnoz.
11:05- Diddy helps the situation by
pointing out that rockers—not just rappers—fight each
other. He then, after announcing JT, Timbaland and
Nelly, invites us all up to his suite on the 32nd
floor of the Palms for an after party.
11:06- The trio close the show.
It's, of course, awesome, even though Nelly's voice
kind of sounds weirdly high-pitched.
11:25- Perez's comment tally=
4,451
Get Pumped!
The end-of-summer blues
can really hurt, but the buzz leading up to the VMAs
usually numbs the pain a bit. I can't wait to see it
all come together on Sunday— particularly Brit's
performance. (Can she shake it in a wig?) If you
didn't follow my twittering advice
from a few weeks ago, don't worry, you still have
a chance to get some insider information! Check
out the VMA Twitter page,
which I've been following religiously all week...
Moonman is my new BFF— who knew he had such a
great sense of humor?
Don't forget to look me up too!
Are you Twittering Yet?
If you haven't heard about Twitter
yet, (um, where have you been?) it's basically like
an ongoing away message you can post to all your
friends to tell them what you're doing. You can post
via text, IM, e-mail, your desktop, or directly on
their site. Your friends, in turn, can subscribe to
your Twitter account via RSS feed, mobile text,
e-mail alerts, etc. It's a fun way to do some primo
stalking! I just heard about a cool new reason to
Twitter! Check out what I learned today:
