Katy To Host The EMAs! Again!

wenn53524862.jpg

MTV has just announced their host for this year's MTV Europe Music Awards.

And that responsibility, for the second time in a row, goes to Katy Perry!

MTV execs were pleased with Perry's performance last year in Liverpool, so they've asked her back once again.

This also marks the first time MTV's ever asked someone to host two consecutive EMAs.

Congrats!

This year's award show will take place in Berlin on November 5th. Performers include Green Day, Leona Lewis.

We think Sliimy would make a great addition to that list.

Can't wait to watch!

MTV just wrote a glowing review about his debut album, Paint Your Face.

They say:

"Sliimy's music has a sunny, literate charm, imbued with an innate tunefulness that shines through in his buoyant pop arrangements and lovely singing. All this buzz has resulted in Sliimy being nominated for an MTV Europe Music Award for Best French Artist (along with former Buzz On subject David Guetta). If you like Phoenix, Lily Allen or Mika, you need to find out who Sliimy is ASAP".

How Much The Hills Cast Really Make!

wenn535962822.jpg

We all know there's drama and jealousy on the set of MTV's The Hills.

But with this new piece of information leaked, we have a feeling there's gonna be a lot more behind-the-scenes drama.

Turns out the reality TV "stars" are making more per episode than many people make in a year.

But it's not an even scale.

Turns out troublemaker Kristin Cavallari is raking in $90,000 per episode! So you'd think the villains get paid more, right? Wrong. Bring in Spencer Pratt, and he's only making $65,000 per episode.

And that's nothing compared to Audrina Patridge's $100,000 per episode! Or Heidi Montag's close to $100,000 salary. Turns out Spencer is down at $65,000 since he joined only in 2008.

However, the top earner goes to former Hills star Lauren Conrad who was racking in $125,000 per episode ($2.5 million a year). Plus her contract demanded that no other star's salary could match hers while she was on the show.

Even sellout Brody Jenner is making some good cash. Jenner makes $45,000 per episode.

And that's what everyone's making not including their side jobs. Like fashion lines, books, music singles, and paid appearances.

Craziness!

Let's hope they're all investing wisely. Some of them will most likely not have another paycheck after The Hills.

Lamest Excuse Ever! Brody on his Absence From Step-Sister Khloe's Wedding

wenn25030802.jpg

As we mentioned earlier (too many times, unfortunately), Khloe Kardashian married her month-long boyfriend, NBA player Lamar Odom on Sunday. And noticeably absent was her stepbrother, Brody Jenner.

Jenner was apparently in New York promoting the newest season of The Hills.

As for his excuse? Brody claims he HAD to be on a plane to New York to promote the season premiere of The Hills on Tuesday.

Says Jenner, "It's pretty crazy. I missed it. I had to be here. You guys [MTV] are the reason why I missed it."

Riiiiiiight.

We're sure MTV would have been OK with it. It's not like you're the star of The Hills!

Says Brody, "It came fast, to say the least, but I'm happy for them. She seems very happy, so good for them."

And then he jokes, "I'm getting some good seats this year at the Lakers games, yes!" Adding, "I've met Lamar a couple of times, and he seems like a pretty incredible guy."

But all this marriage talk doesn't mean Brody's ready to tie the knot with his trashy troublemaker girlfriend, Jayde.

He adds about keeping up with his stepsisters that, "I don't know, it's hard to keep up with them. I'd have to get married right off the bat with somebody to keep up with them. And I don't think I'm quite ready for something like that. You never know, but at this point, no."

Douche!

MTV's VMAs Amp Up Music Sales

wenn5352259vma.jpg

What a concept! MTV driving actual music sales!

While the public's reaction to Kanye West's behavior during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech seems to be the most talked about stunt at this years VMAs, the music itself is also receiving some recognition.

All of the performers at the awards show are seeing a HUGE increase in their music sales including Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Green Day, Jay-Z, Pink and of course Taylor Swift, who's iTunes sales went up 80%!

Popular British band and Twilight soundtrack standard Muse also performed for the first time on American television and the sale of their album skyrocketed as a result of the VMAs.

Everyone really did put in top-notch performances that night even if other events may have overshadowed them!

MTV Still Wants To Air DJ AM Intervention Series

wenn2449178__opt31.jpg

Before his sudden and tragic death, DJ AM worked on a drug-intervention show with MTV called Gone Too Far. The production team was able to capture enough footage for the making of eight episodes and the network intends to show them.

At the moment, the production heads are in talks with DJ AM's family about how and when to show the episodes. It is suggested that because the show follows DJ AM, born Adam Goldstein, in the role of a "sober and experienced tough-love guide for troubled addicts" and the strong implications that his own death resulted from drug abuse, that the show would come off as " hypocritical or exploitative."

On the other hand, the show could send a strong anti-drug message by showcasing the strong, focused man DJ AM was without the drugs.

In a way, we think it would be nice tribute to him as he obviously had a stance to help others overcome their addictions.

Will U watch his reality show?

The Making Of Janet Jackson’s Video Music Award Tribute Performance To Premiere On MTV

ap090913075959jj.jpg

We thought it was one of most befitting tributes to Michael Jackson to date, when his sister, Janet Jackson, took to the stage last Sunday for the MTV VMAs and performed their hit Scream. The routine featured Janet dancing in-sync with the original footage of Michael from the music video.

Now, on Saturday, the network will broadcast an in-depth look at how the performance was conceived.

The Making Of Janet Jackson’s Video Music Award Tribute Performance will give a behind the scenes look at Janet's performance "from the first day of rehearsals in Los Angeles, CA to show day when Janet and her team of choreographers took to the stage for the performance of a lifetime, where they recreated one of the most unforgettable music videos ever, Scream."

The show airs on Saturday on at 12:30PM ET/PT, so if you have a life, try and TIVO it.

Will U watch the special?

Tim McGraw Thinks Kanye Needs An Ass Whoopin'!

wenn1311726tm.jpg

And people are still talking about it.

Country singer Tim McGraw tells CMT insider that Kanye West's atrocious behavior at the VMAs upset his 3 daughters, Gracie, Maggie and Audrey, who are fans of Taylor Swift.

"He shows himself to be an idiot every time he does stuff like that. [My girls] were upset. But what he did do is provide a great example of how not to be, and my girls learned a big lesson."

Well there's a positive spin on the situation!

McGraw contined, "When they weren't looking I said, 'He needs an ass whoopin'!"

Yeah, Kanye should have been more discreet about his displeasure, like your wife!

So, when will the Kanye hating end? We're guessing not any time soon.
