Live from MTV’s VMA Red Carpet: It’s a Circus!

Posted September 7, 2008 at 7:53 pm | Tags:

MTV’s Video Music Awards are hot. Literally. It feels like 100 degrees on the red carpet here on the Paramount lot in Hollywood.
But the hot topic for the day: Britney Spears! Will she walk the carpet? Is she going to perform? Or, perhaps, is she going to open the show atop an elephant?
Yes, there is an elephant being hosed down outside the awards. And remember, there was an elephant in Spears and host Russell Brand’s promo spots for the show, as in “the elephant in the room.”
The red carpet is now rolling. Read on for all the highlights….
4:50…Corbin Bleu from H:igh School Musical says the tween world is going to get some old-school musical lessons when the third installment of HSM is released next month. One number in the flick is inspired by late ,legendary Chicago choerograhper Bob Fosse. “That’s what’s so great about High School Muisical,” Bleu says. “It’s musical theater for this generation.”
Redstone, or Red Herring?
4:40…Viacom honcho Sumner Redstone just insisted to me that it’s not up to him if Tom Cruise reunites with his former longtime home studio, Paramount. “I think he’s a great actor, but that’s up to Brad [Grey] and others at the studio,” Redstone said. “I don’t make those decisions.”
Oh, and get this. He’s trying to convince me that he doesn’t necessarily know if Britney is performing tonight! “Sometimes they don’t even tell the boss,” he said.

the best part of the VMA’s was Kanye West’s performance at the end… the worst part was the host (what’s with the accent?)
