At the recent MTV Europe Music Awards, things took a turn for the nude soon after Hayden Panettiere stepped up to the podium to present for Best Song. Unfortunately for Panettiere’s legion of male fans the flesh belonged to a streaker David Monahan, who rushed on to the stage while wearing only his birthday suit, made small talk with the former ‘Heroes’ star and eventually invited her out after th

Chris Brown's VMA performance was definitely one worth cheers. After an exciting medley that included plenty of hot dance moves and even some flying, the audience erupted - except for one notable guest.

The stars turned out on the red carpet — or should we say black carpet? — for the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. Celebs included Justin Bieber, who rocked a pair of scholarly specs, and Jessie J, who rocked a pair of bedazzled crutches and a cast (the singer sprained her foot at a recent live show).

Adele, Katy — it's up to you. Since 2007, the Video of the Year category at MTV's Video Music Awards has been swept by the female set, with Rihanna, Britney Spears, Beyonce and Lady Gaga taking the top honor over the past four years. But, who knows ...

MTV Video Music Awards Executive Producer Amy Doyle has confirmed to Billboard magazine that the show will “pay tribute” to Britney Spears on this year’s broadcast. “Obviously everything from her choreography to her fashion to her videos will be (covered). We said, ‘Let’s challenge ourselves to do something unique’,” said Doyle.

Most reality show participants have to sign extensive waivers and agree to terms not seen since the days of indentured servitude. Recently, the Village Voice got its hands on the 30-page contract required of the people appearing on MTV‘s long-running ‘Real World’ series and, as expected, it’s positively draconian. The extreme stipulations are probably no different than those of other reality shows
