First off, Happy Birthday to my sister, C.
So, did you guys watch the VMA's on MTV last night? All my friends can talk about is how bad Britney's performance was... and I do agree. But there's a lot more there to discuss. For example:
1. How awkward and funny was it when Jamie Foxx totally went off script and threw off Jennifer Garner? I was hoping JGar would let loose and just go with the joke. (Like that one awards show where she almost fell on stage and then said, "I do all my own stunts.") But she kept steering back towards the script and Jamie kept steering far away from it. That tug of war was hilarious!
2. Those hotel suite parties looked like they were wild, crazy and a ton of fun. I was getting a little jealous of the people getting an intimate concert from the Foo Fighters. Then I found out MTV hired people to "party" when the cameras were on. Oh MTV, how silly you are. I would have "partied" with the Foo Fighters for FREE!
3. Sarah Silverman is so gross. I thought her opening monologue bombed and, judging by the lack of laughter in the room, so did everyone else. I don't like that her jokes always involve genitalia and bodily functions. She tries way too hard to be edgy and funny but it just comes off as desperate and contrived. Booooo Hissss!!!!!!!!
4. Chris Brown stole the show. He was fun, exciting and even did a little Michael Jackson for those of us born in the 70s. What a hot performance! I actually felt bad for those having to perform after him... talk about a tough act to follow.
5. My friend, S, sent me a ballot of all the VMA categories and nominees. I entered my predictions and waited to see how many I would get right. But I bombed! I only got 2 right - Monster Single of the Year was "Umberlla" by Rihanna and Quadruple Threat of the Year was Justin Timberlake. All the others I predicted were wrong. Ugh... I must be getting old.
6. Speaking of getting old, let's talk about Britney Spears. She, like many of the performers last night, lip-synched. But her performance was just plain hard to watch. Her unoriginal choreography and lack of enthusiasm made it boring. I could hardly watch but I hung in there because I had heard she was working up some "magic trick" with Criss Angel for that performance. But it never happened! WTF?? For someone whose past VMA performances included dancing with snakes and kissing Madonna, this one was far below expectations. Oh and on a side note... I honestly don't think Britney is fat, but that outfit made her look fat. Yuck!
What did you love/hate?

Jennifer Garner looked amazing. But I get annoyed when movie stars are at music awards (and reverse). I do like though, when presenters go off script. Wouldn't you have loved to see the Kid Rock/Tommy Lee punch-out!
I would have liked to be at the Foo party and the Southern Hospitality. Although, I don't think I would have fit in with the dancing skanks that I saw on the show.
I liked Sarah Silverman's set. I like it when a comedian is not afraid to diss (especially to a celeb's face). Paris is a joke.
I'm annoyed she even shares the name of a city that I love so much.
Chris Brown kicked ass. It's performances like his that make the VMA memorable.
I usually triple click through Alica Keys stuff, but her performance was good. She really sold us that George Michael cover.
Britney is a mess. She actually looks good physically for having two kids in two years. But her hair was a mess. She really wasted an opportunity. She could have picked a more flattering outfit (corset thing) and had gone with her hair natural. I think she could totally rock out the short blonde do! She needed something memorable about her performance to take the attention away from the bad hair, stilleto boot consipiracy, and sparkly stripper outfit.
Overall, I really enjoyed the VMAs this year.
