2011 MTV VMA’s Recap

– This isn’t over yet?!

– Who are these Pre-VMA show  hosts? So uncomfortably awkward. Please just bring back Suchin Pak and Tim Kash.

Foster the People and Young the Giant, please gtfo MTV before the network eats you alive and makes you mainstream. Oh wait…

– Oh Gabe Saporta…I’ve still got a crush on you.

Lady Gaga in the opening of the VMA’s. The look on Britney Spears, Adele and Justin Bieber’s face…priceless. Were her antics a little too much tonight?

– Congratulations Beyonce and Jay-Z who are expecting! One blog already think this might be a publicity stunt.

– I love Jay-Z.

Miley, I don’t like your dress.

Katy Perry – Too soon for that Kanye-Swift joke?

Chachi Gonzales, I see you dancing in the Britney Spears tribute! How adorable were those little girls dancing in it?

– I loved Beyonce’s performance!

Favorite performances of the night:

  • Adele
  • Beyonce
  • Jay-Z and Kanye

– Perez Hilton calls Chris Brown out for his completely lip-synched performance. Whatever – everyone was thinking it! [Source]

Jay-Z also did not clap for Chris Brown probably because he’s the one that discovered Rihanna. Way to go Jay – bit also, did anyone even understand that performance?

– For some reason, I wasn’t really feeling Jessie J tonight as the house band.

Katie Holmes presenting video of the year…that’s random.

– The VMA’s didn’t have a host this year, but I think we saw way too much of Lady Gaga or her male counterpart. It almost got to the point of being too obnoxious for me and I think the organization of her presenting the award to Britney Spears was a little weird because her tribute was cut short when they both had to introduce Beyonce. There could have been a commercial break in there because Gaga awkwardly stole Britney’s thunder.

MTV Gives the Hipsters a Television Series

After tomorrow’s 2011 Video Music Awards, make sure you stick around to catch the pilot episode of MTV’s newest scripted series, “I Just Want My Pants Back.” Nathan Williams, the frontman of Wavves, has composed several songs and is in charge of providing the score for the new series. I’m not exactly sure what this series is about nor have I seen it advertised that much on the network, but supposedly, the series follows a group of hipster post-grads living in Brooklyn.

The full series will premiere sometime in 2012. Apparently, MTV was casting extras for the series last summer searching for real-life hipsters:

“Do you own skinny jeans, old school chucks, cabbie hat, the 70’s vest, an ironic t shirt or hat, a fitted sweater, flannel shirt, or chunky lens-less glasses? Do you drink PBR, have an ironic mustache, have a blog that allows you to post pictures you took with your digital camera? Been called a hipster? Deny being a hipster, but own various wardrobe and sport an asymetrical hair style that is considered Non-Mainstream? Smoke Parliaments? Got any cool tattoos? Perhaps one of a star, maybe on your wrist or elbow? Own a vintage dress or have an awesome beard? Shooting the week of 8/30/2010.”

The main character is kind of a dream boat.
