Beyonce’s Baby Bump is the Star of the VMA’s, While Gaga is a Drag in Drag
Beyonce and her baby bump steal the show at the MTV Video Music Awards.
Beyonce and Jay-Z are having a baby! The singer, who is usually clad in an extremely revealing bodysuit on stage, appeared last night completely covered in a tux with a purple sequined jacket. The expected breakaway tux and revealing barely-there undergarment never materialized, yet upon finishing her song – shockingly clothed, she opened up her sequined jacket to reveal her well-rounded baby bump! She and Jay-Z were absolutely beaming! It was a moment definitely going down in VMA history. Congratulations to them both.
The shock queen Lady Gaga opened the show in drag as her alter-ego Jo Calderone - a greasy haired and obnoxious drag king with kinky side burns and a filthy tee. Unfortunately she maintained this Andrew Dice Clay knockoff persona throughout the show. The creepy Gaga-man even introduced Britney Spears by admitting to masturbating to her pictures (ewww Calderone-really?), then offered up a kiss while she accepted her Moonman. Spears, promptly pushed Gaga away saying, “I did that already.” I love a good drag show, but this was more creepy than entertaining, though she did make a convincing man. The first close up of the show, when Gaga appeared onstage was of Justin Bieber and boy did he look confused! I’m sure Selena explained it to him later.
Other highlights of the night include Bieber, arriving at the preshow with his tiny little snake which he admitted in front of millions, was named Johnson. Jay-Z and Kanye were rushed on stage by a mystery person who was then tackled by security. Chris Brown did a darn good Peter Pan impersonation. Lil Wayne wore Steven Tyler’s cheetah print skinny jeans around his knees and not much else. Nicki Minaj borrowed Rainbow Bright’s stylist for the night who was obviously tripping on acid and Katy Perry’s stylist thought it was a brilliant idea for her to have a large block of cheese imbedded in her skull. All-in-all it was another splendid evening at the VMA’s.
MTV VMA Performances by Adele, Beyonce, Bruno Mars, Chris Brown, Lady Gaga and More
Lady Gaga,the opening act of MTV VMA’s.
The 2011 MTV Video Music Awards will be broadcast live from the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, Sunday August 28 at 9/8 central. The awards show has become a platform for music industry A-listers to let their freak flags fly. Some of the more shocking moments in VMA history include Kanye’s on-air diss of Taylor Swift, the Britney, Christina and Madonna kiss (check out the video evidence below), Madonna’s original “Like a Virgin” number or Britney’s “I’m A Slave 4 U” dance with a live snake.
The reigning queen of shock Lady Gaga herself, will be opening the show this year. The Lady, who won a VMA for Best New Artist in 2009, arrived at last year’s event in her infamous raw meat dress and is sure to try to out-shock last year’s stunt.
Adele, Beyonce, Bruno Mars, Chris Brown, Jessie J, Lil Wayne, Nayer, Ne-Yo, Pitbull and Young the Giant will also be performing during this year’s show.
The evening’s presenters will include: Drake, Jack Black, Jared Leto, JB Smoove, Jennifer Lawrence, Joe Jonas, Jonah Hill, Kevin Hart, Kim Kardashian, Nicki Minaj, Rick Ross, Selena Gomez, Seth Rogan, Taylor Lautner, Victoria Justice, Will Ferrell and Zoe Saldana.

Below is a list of the 2011 nominees vying for the biggest prize of the night, the Moonman statue.
The Hottest Summer Tours
Britney’s Femme Fatale tour is one to catch this summer.
The summer concert season is here and we have the 411 on all the hottest shows coming to town. There are so many smoking hot acts on tour that you can get summer off to a rockin’ start with a pop princess, a country vibe, or an American Idol tour.
If a down-home vibe is what you are feeling this summer Lady Antebellum, Taylor Swift, Willie Nelson or Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow, may be what it’s all about for you. This seasons concert line-up is a virtual music ala cart.
Britney Spears is rumored to be lip-syncing on her Femme Fatale tour, but her ravenous fans really don’t seem to mind. She’s making-up for the farce vocals with badass choreography, stage effects, S&M attire and of course, Nicki Minaj. Britney’s inspiration for the stage show is the femme fatales, throughout the ages. The stage show includes segments dedicated to Marilyn Monroe, motorcycle-mamas and Egyptians. It is sure to be the most manic show of the summer!
Rihanna’s smoking-hot Loud tour tickets are the guilty pleasure of the summer, for sure. With Cee-Lo-Green as show-opener for most of the tour, this concert is a must catch. Rhi-Rhi and Cee-Lo will be traversing Canada and then kicking off a leg in the states June 24-July 24. Next they’ll be in Europe, from August 17-December 22.
Katy Perry is out and about on her California Dream tour with shows all over North America and Europe with a few side trips to Brazil and Mexico. California Dream wraps-up November 22 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Taylor Swift’s Speak Now tour is already rolling with the next show being June 25th in Foxboro, Massachusetts. Her huge tour covers all the expected North American cities, with a generous helping in the South, of course.
Lady Antebellum’s Get Close tour will be doing just that, as they wind their way to every country fair between Grand Junction, Colorado and Bangor, Maine from June 18th through September 5th.
Kid Rock is sure to be tearing-it-up with Sheryl Crow on the American road this summer, while on his Born Free tour. Crow is appearing at most tour stops but deserts on a few, like in Kids’ hometown of Detroit where Sammy Hagar will be stepping in. (Crow fans might want to check beforehand to see if she’s playing your local venue.)
Willie Nelson will be cruising around on his french-fry oil run, bio-diesel bus on his Country Throwdown tour (if he can stay out of trouble long enough). Nelson’s next show is on June 23 in Del Mar, California. On Sepember 25th he winds up his long stint with a last show in Rapid City, South Dakota. Willie, the legend.
NKOTBSB is the concert to see if you are in the mood for a musical flashback. The boy bands, New Kids on the Block and The Backstreet Boys, are coming to a stadium near you. (This may be the show to take the kids to.) Matthew Morison of Glee will be the opening act, kind of sealing the deal. I know you’re curious to see if those guys are going to lip-sync and if they can really dance for two hours. It’s a curiosity show which is going to need a lot of pyrotechnics for coverup- sorry, effect.
American Idol Live! 2011 tour has 45 confirmed dates. The Top 11 of this seasons show including Casey Abrams, Naima Adledap, James Durbin, Stefano Langone, Jacop Lusk, Scotty McCreery, Paul Mc Donald, Thia Megia, Haley Reinhart, and Pia Toscano will all be strutting their stuff.
TheFoo Fighters are curently on tour in Europe and won’t be back state-side until mid-September when they will be hitting all the major cities.
Shakira will be shaking her hips in Mexico July15-31 then heading off to Europe June 7-June 14th, to finish her tour with two shows in Paris.
