@DocStrange: Word, on every single...word. I think that might be MTV trying to reclaim the mantle of being "hip" and "ironic".

I must not make a joke about Death Cab for Cutie’s eight minute video winning Best Editing (It’s a good video and a good song, but that joke just writes itself).

I’m excited for Russell Brand, he’s hilarious, and hopefully he’ll be edgy and inappropriate (because erm, that’s the only reason I’m watching)
I heard on his radio show that there are some surprises that he’s not allowed to talk about (but very nearly spilled) so I’m guessing Britney is performing.
I honestly don’t know half of the musicians nominated…so Russell is squarely in charge of making this worth watching for me. I hope the execs at MTV don’t curb his insanity.

I’m boycotting this year’s coverage of the VMAs because it does not involve me sitting on Maura’s couch drinking all her alcohol and eating pizza (like last year)…JK!JK!JK!

I’m glad Maura’s in LA and will be a hair’s width away from the Jonas Brothers–close enough to caress their beautiful hair and maybe talk them out of those promise rings.

@Chris Molanphy: That was actually a coinage by my friend (and sometime Idolator photographer) Maggie Bandur, who I've spent most of my non-working time in LA with. Credit where it's due!

How, how have I not referred to the Kid's song as "Werewolves of Alabama" yet?!

See, this is why you run the show around here.

I wonder if Britney is really going to perform. If not, then what the heck is she rehearsing for?
