Didn’t Kanye already apologize to Taylor Swift last year after interrupting her at acceptance speech at the MTV MVA’s and didn’t she accept the apology and move on?

Anyway, earlier today Kanye took to his Twitter as he has a tendency to do, unleashing a barrage of apologies over the incident, verging almost into parody.

Of course, Kanye also has a new album dropping soon and is going to be at the MTV Music Video Awards next Sunday.  Host Chelsea Handler says she wants Kanye and Taylor to reunite as well.  

Surely the tweets today are  just a coincidence.

I wasn’t sure when it started last night, but it’s actually quite funny, even for a crusty gay like myself who’s not big on musicals.  (Shocking, I know).

Yay – That opening number.  There were just enough laughs in it to make it work and Kate Gosselin showing up in that outfit from Dancing With The Stars?  Brilliant.

Nay – Some of the jokes throughout the evening just fell flat with a resounding THUD (Matthew Perry, January Jones, et all, I’m looking at you). 

Yay – Running time.  3 hours on the nose (although it did seem longer at some points and I even took an hour “break” to watch True Blood).

Nay – Some of the pickings for some of the categories seem slim.  Best Miniseries?  There were a grand total of two entries.  Television has changed a lot since the days when mini-series were produced en mass.  Same goes with Reality TV.  The Emmy’s needs to embrace this form of television more as it’s not going anywhere.  Learn it.  Live it.  Love it.

Yay – The same actors, actresses, and TV shows didn’t all win again (a common Emmy Award complaint).  Modern Family, Sue Sylvestor (Glee), Jim Parsons (Big Bang Theory),  Eddie Falco (Nurse Jackie), Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad), and Top Chef all walked away with trophies for first time wins.

Nay – The in memoriam piece with that number by Jewel.  The less said about it the better. 

Yay – George Clooney.  Be it his acceptence speech or his involvement in that extremely funny Modern Family skit , he was in a much better mood than he was at the Oscars.

Here’s a list of the winners.

One of these things, is not like the others.  Which one is it?  Can you tell?

If you guessed January Jones (Mad Men), you are correct.  While Claire Daines, Sue Sylvester, and (God help me) even Kate Gosselin rocked the red carpet, January looked like she lost a bet with that dress.  Don’t even get me started on the hair (although she seemed to find a brush by the  time she had to present something).

The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences held their awards ceremony for technical, group, and individual achievements (if these were to be handed out on the actual televised Emmy Awards August 29, the show would end up being about twice as long).

Betty White continues to reign supreme after signing a two book deal earlier this week, receiving an award for Best Guest Actress in a Comedy for her hosting duties on Saturday Night Live in May, while Neil Patrick Harris got Emmys for Best Guest Actor in A Comedy for his guest appearance on Glee, and Best Special Class Program for his hosting of The Tony Awards.

John Lithgow received a well deserved Emmy for Best Guest Actor in a Drama series for his work on Dexteras the fourth season’s big bad (which is out on DVD now BTW).  Anne Margret received the Best Guest Actressaward for her work on Law&Order: Perverts SVU.

Looks like Mad Men is going to continue it’s winning streak for AMC, getting an Emmy for Best Casting Of A Drama Series, while Modern Family recieved one for Comedy.

Movieline has a full list of last night’s winners in all 897 categories (Ok it’s more like 64).

Chelsea Handler?  Really??  Her???

Of course!  It all makes sense.  As the raunchy late night talk show host and author (Are You There Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea) said last night, “Everyone knows that when you think of rap music and hip-hop you think of Chelsea Lately, and that’s why I will be hosting them.”

Chelsea takes over hosting duties from Russell Brand, who’s too busy with filming that remake of Arthur no one asked for and planning his wedding to Katy Perry to host for a third time.  Either that, or show organizers were getting tired of his shtick.

The ratings should be huge this year with scheduled performances by infamous acceptence speech interupter Kanye West, Twitter over-lord Justin Bieber, and the fashionable Lady Gaga, who’s been nominated for 13 awards.

Wonder if Chelsea will bond with the Bieb?  She has a thing for midgets.

The MTV Video Awards air live September 12th.

Another fake awards show aimed at the kids, who increasingly are the ones calling the shots with pop culture.

Hosted by Katy Perry, the usual suspects were all there to pick up their surfboard trophies for awards in various and dubious categories from film, television, music, sports, and fashion.

Winners included Justin Bieber in several music categories (natch), Taylor Lautner (Choice Smile), Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart (Choice Chemistry and Choice Lip-lock), Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene (Male and Female Choice Scene Stealers – for New Moon, a movie they were barely in), David Beckham (Male Athlete Teen Choice Winner), Channing Tatum (Favorite Male Action Adventure Star for his role in GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra) and Megan Fox (Teen Choice Hottie Award).  Good to see Megan may still have a career if teenage boys have anything to say about it.

Don’t worry if you don’t get it, your probably one of the olds.  I think the point of the awards ceremony was to get famous people on stage and scream.  Loudly.  Now that you know the basics you don’t need to tune in unless you want to.  Your welcome.

For those of you that just can’t resist, The Teen Choice Awards airs tonight at 8 on Fox.

Screaming.  Miley Cyrus. 

More screaming, Justin Bieber.  Followed by even more screaming.

Thet pretty much sums it up.

The 2010 Much Music Video Awards were held last night in Toronto which are pretty much like the ones that MTV has in September, except the air of desperation is more palatable (why else broadcast the fact that some of those twat-waffles from fake reality TV shows The Hills and The City are presenting?).

Miley Cyrus co-hosted the event, and in one priceless segment kept flubbing her lines all the while bitching about missing que cards, saying “This is the worst thing, ever” to Chicago Blackhawk Jonathan Toews, who looked completely bored (or possibly terrified). 

Miley then introduced Drake, who was supposed to perform, but a malfunctioning ear piece caused a diva like moment from the actor turned rapper and he refused to start.

Awkward. 

Cut to one of the hapless VJ’s who threw out a few names (Miley, Justin, Drake) to increase screaming before the network  finally cut to commercials so that missing PA with the cue cards could be found and likely flogged.

No word yet if Perez Hilton who did show up and Miley came face to face or if anyone hit Perez in the face like will.i.am from The Black Eyed Peas did last year.

Big winners of the awards show included The Bieb and Miley, who each took home four awards, as well as punk/pop group Hedley.

Anyway, here’s some footage of Miley ”singing” Party In the USA (wrong country dear) and Can’t Be Tamed.

…As her performance last night on the MTV Movie Awards  isn’t going to help stop the “who’s copying who?” debate between her camp and Lady Gaga’s at all. 

Last year, Gaga wowed the crowed in Toronto at the Much Music Video Awards with her performance in which she wore a bustier that shot firecrackers out at the end of her number.

Last night, Christina sang a medley of songs from her upcoming album Bionic (which gets released tomorrow), wearing a sparkly bodice complete with a heart shaped LED light in the crotch that glowed at the closing of her performance.

Coincidence?  I think not.  Lady Gaga, the next move is yours to make.

That would explain Lindsay Lohan’s outfit last night at the MTV Movie Awards (yes, she somehow got an invite for some reason, probably by threatening to show up and having a meltdown on the red carpet if they didn’t invite her).

Anyway, Lindsay brought the drams with her, insisting that she her seat be moved she so she wouldn’t have to sit near Dr Drew, who seems to be stalking her. 

Apparently, the good doctor took to his Facebook some time ago, saying if Lindsay was his daughter he’s ensure she be arrested and forced to a three year treatment program.  Lindsay responded by calling him a “quack and a “sell-out”. 

Cripes.  Never ever thought I’d say this, ever, but I tend to agree with her on this one.  Dr Famewhore has since tried to apologize and get Lindsay on his show Celebrity Rehab, but she’s wisely having none of it.  (Now there’s a word I never thought I’d use in a sentence to describe Linds).
