Coming To Hollywood!

It's about time.

After broadcasting from Las Vegas last year and NYC the year before that, the MTV Video Music Awards are coming to Hollywood this time around.

Now we don't have to travel anywhere!

The awards, which will mark its 25th anniversary, will air on Sunday, September 7th.

This year, they'll be presenting awards from sound stages, city streets, and even rooftops.

In other words: they're trying to "mix it up" in an effort to goose ratings.

MTV will also also be counting votes from users online to help decide the nominees.

President of MTV Networks Music Group, Van Toffler, said in a statement, "With Paramount Pictures as the ideal setting, the glamour and musical heritage of L.A. are sure to be catalysts for creating explosive pop culture moments that the VMAs are known for."

This year might be a bit tough to follow after all the drama that went down last year!

There was the Kid Rock and Tommy Lee bitch fight that took place.

Kanye West threw a diva attack infront of the crew and media after he lost all five of the categories for which he was nominated. He vowed never to return.

Wonder if we'll see him this year????

    Sounds a hell ofa lot like the MMVA's this year. Good ol' Canada always the ones with the ideas… never the ones who are credited.

    I like the MTV Awards at Radio City in New York. Last year in Vegas, they were awful, and I have a feeling they will be again this year. Maybe if they actually had decent performances again, they wouldn't have to be so gimicky.

    :) Hey Perez

  18. jojob says – reply to this

    You forgot to mention Britney's hideous career-ending performance of Gimme More last year. And the show last year was altogether awful in general, with Britney's trainwreck setting the tone as the opening act.

    Boooo Totally MMVA wannabes. MMVAs were rocking this year. Rooftop performances, no bitch fights, and especially cause there was no KANYE!!! Little Bitch!

    zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. does anyone even watch mtv anymore?

  21. YoMam says – reply to this

    Why is MTV even bothering?
    .
    They only air fucking reality shows for 23 hours a day. They show music videos maybe betweeen 3 and 4 a.m.
    .
    And they wonder why ratings for this sham awards show keep plunging down the toilet? It's because no one sees the fucking videos that are up for nomination anymore, so no one gives a fuck!!
    .
    MTV should just rename themselves "SHIT TV" and give up even trying to pretend they care anything about music.

    "This year, they'll be presenting awards from sound stages, city streets, and even rooftops."
    That sounds really, really stupid.

  24. POP says – reply to this


    24

    They should add an award for the lousiest actor a.k.a. known as singer performance. I vote for Heidi "I killed the Pop Music" Montag!

  25. Mandi says – reply to this

    streets, roof tops eh? sounds just like the Much music video awards now doesnt it?
    GO CANADA!

  26. POP says – reply to this


    26

    And what if one of the stoned celebs falls of a roof top??? Will there be a category of "best sounding freefall"???

  27. SPOIL says – reply to this


    27

    WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THE VIDEO VANGUARD AWARD?? WHY DO THEY EVEN HAVE THESE AWARDS THEY DONT EVEN PLAY VIDEOS ANYMORE?? JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE HAD SAID THAT LAST YEAR!!! START PLAYING SOME FUCKING VIDEO'S MTV.. ENOUGH SHITTY REALITY TV, LEAVE THAT SHIT UP TO VH1 I WANT MY FUCKING MTV!!!!!!!

  28. joey says – reply to this


    28

    I hope it's better than last year's. I hated the formula they used! Wayyy too all over the place. Rather than mixing it up, perhaps they should just bring it back to NYC… that's where I think the best VMA moments have happened.

    this remind's me of the time my pet squirell got impregnated by my neighbor's pet badger, woo hoo, what a session. it took three water hoses to get them seperated.kind of remind's me when I was young and would go with my parent's to visit aunt's,uncle's,and cousin's because it nearly took a water hose to seperate me from my cousin's if you know what I mean:-] well, my squirell hybrid's are doing just fine with the anaconda and what not in case you were wondering and the day laborer's are rebuilding my kitchen and construction should be done by kwanza so we can fry up some chitterlins and hog maws. remember last week when I mentioned that my cadillac was backed into, well I convinced my insurance company to total it so I am driving a 2008 cts and it rides like the dicken's. want to go for a ride? meet me at the intersection of florence and normandie, I will be hanging out with rodney king this aftrnoon panhandling.

    Does MTV even play music videos anymore?? Growing up- they were the SHIT! Now I don't even bother with them. It's all phoney reality shows and other crap.

    Re: Ck2376 – i agree with u!

    I liked it when it was in Vegas. The suite parties where the different bands were playing was a pretty cool idea. =/

  36. katie says – reply to this


    36

  37. what says – reply to this

  38. matt says – reply to this

  39. fz5 says – reply to this


    39

    mmva?? are you kidding, mtv has already done performances on rooftops and on marquees and on the street…they invented that shit…mmva needs to come up with something new…

    and for all you bitches who are complaining about how much the vma's suck and how bad the performances are…I love that you know every detail of the show…because you watched it…shut the fuck up

  40. nic says – reply to this

    the funny thing is that the execs at Viacom probably REALLY believe that giving out awards from different locales (i.e. sound stages, rooftops, etc.) will do ANYTHING to ratings. people dont give a fuck about shit like that. SERIOUSLY! power and money make people lose soooo much common sense.

  41. laure says – reply to this

    anyone with half a brain knows that MTV BLOWS!!!!!

    Its such a shit network now. Lets reward a bunch of no talent morons who got lucky?

    No thanks.

  42. des says – reply to this


    42

    I hope there nothing like last years….THAT SUCKED BIG TIME all the suites it was awful i have to agree the best show was the one in radio city everyone in one place on one stage ….

  43. mike says – reply to this


    43

    Quit not mentioning Britney man!!!!!! You KNOWWWWWWWW you want to.
    Plus, whenever you talk about Jamie-Lynn, Britney always comes to mind.
    So you might as well post about Brit herself!

  44. john says – reply to this


    44

    He doesn't mention Britney anymore because he's bitter that Jive/Zomba (Britney's record label) are suing him for posting copyrighted material of Brit's before her last album came out. Perez posted over 10 different Britney songs on his site last year and now he's being sued because of it.
    It's copyrighted! He deserves to be sued!
    That's why he never mentions her anymore.

  45. natha says – reply to this


    45

    he cant say shit about britney because he leaked songs before her album came out and jive/zomba records got pissed and then they threatend to sue and lets be real, prez is a smart man and jive is worth tons! he would be one poor mother fucker if he kept saying shit about brit. i bet it bugs the shit out of him that he can't talk about that bitch. lol



  46. 46

    I hope that the people doing the MTV Video Music Awards don't think that they are doing something new with their so called "mixing it up." The MMVA's have been on rooftops and the streets for years!! Come up with something new.

  47. Walle says – reply to this

    the VMAs were awful last year the worst one ever. They should just do the show like they always have in the past. why change? i used to be so excited for the VMAS now not so much. i wanna see hot performances and awards giving out on the stage like always, not fucking rooftops and sound stages, wtf is that? ughhh….i hate this new age in music. the music industry is dyingg…

  48. natas says – reply to this


    48

    i love that all the canadians are in agreement that MTV is SO copying the MMVAs which have been unique in style for the past few years at least. Bell Globe Media owns MTV and Much Music in Canada

  49. Marc says – reply to this


    49

    why perez is no longer talking about Britney? this post obviously should've mentioned her…

    53

    Re: makkk – F#$* Kanye, that pathetic puss. Whaaaa I didn't get a MoonMan, Whaaa! That and trying to say that the Soulja Boy shit wasn't the worst "song" ever is crazy. Everything has a deeper meaning, seriously, so all 3 lyrics in the song have two meanings, wow, that is deep. I didn't hear it all the way through the first few times, thought that was a hook, come to find out that is THE WHOLE SONG, THAT'S IT! Oh wait, he invented a DANCE to go along with it, wow. That is real hip-hop. I guess that the Macarena was real hip-hop too. Kanye, go back to producing for TALENTED MC's. You are the new Puffy.

    huh…mtv gives out music video awards, but they dont show any music videos anymore…
    they should just bite the bullet, change to reality tv, and let another channel pic up the 24/7 music video style.

  55. Itali says – reply to this


    55

    Do they actually still make music videos? What channel and at what time would one find one of these "videos" you speak of???

  56. Teena says – reply to this


    56

    It would be cool if they did something similar to what BET did. Have artist freestyle before commercial breaks. Not necessarily rap but have random people, from different genre of music, perform together. Maybe have a rocker rapper have FOB play a beat and a rapper spit, freestyle hopefully, over the song. Anything to show the recipients deserve what they get. Of the cuff music is great, at least to me.
