Ok. So here we go…MTV VMA’s and our first ever live blog. Here’s how we’ll work it: as the night goes on we’ll continue to update our posts, and keep track of all the juicy tid-bits that the Video Music Awards has in store.
Stay Tuned 
5:00 pm PST…The countdown has begun! Drake is looking pretty great in his all black get-up. Also love the shout out to the ladies everywhere. Drake, a rookie? No.
He’s also talking about his on again, off again wifey, Nicki Minaj. They may not be together, but he has a lot of respect for her work. And we totally respect that.
5:04 pm PST…Paramore. So chill. So relaxed…maybe a little too cool for school.
5:07 pm PST…MTV’s first ever Twitter Jockey Gaby. She’s totally fabulous. MTV want’s the VMAs to be a trending topic, so their asking the twitter world to tweet #ifbiebermetgaga…if you want to tell us what you think your can tell us on twitter @TNCTweets.
5:09 pm PST…Katy Perry has her husband with her…on her fingernails. Not sure what to say about that.
5:15 pm PST…Jay Sean. Amazing entrance with an amazing entourage. He claims that Nicki Minaj has a better British accent then he does…and he’s British!
5:17 pm PST…Sean Kingston! Loved working with Nicki! Did you know she was Caribbean?
5:17 pm PST…Snooki! But no Snooki pouf? I thought that was where she hid her secrets (anyone get the Mean Girls reference here?).
5:19 pm PST…Lady Gaga is trending at a higher number than Justin Bieber! Where are all those Bieber lovers?
5:19 pm PST…Best Collaboration Video: Lady Gaga and Beyonce for “Telephone”. Obviously, we relate to the song a little bit…textual harassment? Not cool in our books. So what can you do when that one particular person just doesn’t get that you’re busy with life? Check out www.ThatsNotCool.com and send around a Callout Card. We love this one…
5:25 pm PST…30 Seconds to Mars. not quite sure what’s going on here. Chicken outfit? Confetti? Bicycles? This just requires lots of head scratching.
5:27 pm PST…Andrew Jenks moves in with all sorts of people for a week, and documents their life. Sneak peak of the Double Date: Hip Hop style…Seems like any other type of date. Is there a R&B date? A heavy metal date? A date for Hungarian folk music?
5:29 pm PST…Usher, USHER!
5:29 pm PST…and Justin Bieber! Want to vote for “Best New Artist?” You can vote all the way up until the end of the show on www.mtv.com.
5:30 pm PST…Nicki Minaj and Will.i.am. Her vocals seem like they might be a bit off, but we’re totally digging how hard she’s rocking the stage. It’s hard to imagine that a reflective jumpsuit can be very comfortable.
Will.i.am…rocking some body paint and white sunnies. You can definitely here the Caribbean influence in her music, some of it seems like a throw back to dance music from the early 90′s. Including the “Video Killed the Radio Star” sample in the back beat.
5:41 pm PST…commercial break. Phew!
5:43 pm PST…Jack A$$ 3-D. Really? Didn’t we outgrow this phase of reality TV…in like, 2005? Watching Steve-O on Dancing with the Stars was painful enough.
5:47 pm PST…VMA Moon Man Badge on FourSquare, the winner got two tickets to the show. Social Media has officially saturated the VMAs.
5:51 pm PST…Clip of new Kanye video, his new album Runaway drops very soon.
5:51 pm PST…Snooki may have lost her pouf, but Ke$ha seemed to have caught it. She’s also wearing a garbage bag…no, seriously. It’s a big shiny black garbage bag.
5:58 pm PST…LADY GAGA. Golden mohawk and silver-gray hair, Alexander McQueen dress…she just found out that she won Best Dance Video and Best Collaboration. Lady Gaga gets behind a lot of causes, and tonight she stood next to several US Soldiers during her entrance into the show. How many costume changes will we see tonight?
