MTV VMAs Wrap Up: More Celebs At The Awards, Parties, & The Performances

Sep 08 | by Natasha

Here's more pics from these rigged up MTV Awards last night:

Kanye was spotted backstage drinking some Energy juice.

Jamie Foxx presented Britney with her first ever VMA. How this chick one 3 last night after never winning with 16 total nominations over the years is beyond me. Whatevs MTV.

And Chris Brown and Rihanna got their cute couple on. More pics and video of the performances when you read the rest...

Kobe and Vanessa kicked it in the audience.

So did CiCi and Michael Phelps.

Danity Kane kicked it with the Jonas Brothers.

Fun times backstage. And as for the performances:

Here's Rihanna's "Disturbia" performance that opened the show. And here's T.I.'s "Whatever You Like" Performance plus his duet with Rihanna for "Livin Your Life":

Lil Wayne performed with Kid Rock (who said Weezy barely made it to rehearsals) and T-Pain:

Here's Lil Wayne and T-Pain's performance with Leona Lewis. And Kanye's grand closing where he debuted a new song of his called "Love Lockdown":

Over at the MTV parties:

Tia Mowry hit up the InTouch Weekly party at Chateu Marmont.

Solange hit up the House of Hype afterparty in a cute black dress.

Christina Milian brought out the fringy gear.

And Danity Kane looked...their usual. Over at the official MTV Awards afterparty:

The Simmons girls looked nice with some bright looks.

WTF happened to Corbin Blu?

And Paul Wall kicked it with Travis Barker and DJ AM. Interesting. The whole show was a C rating at best. Check out the red carpet Best Dressed pics here, Foolywang Material on the red carpet here, and the rest of the folks in between here.

Overall, not really a good

Overall, not really a good year but for me the best performance went tp T.I. Hearing rihanna's song live made me realise that it is not all that but is was a good performance. Kanye's singing got me in stitches maybe if i hear the Mp3 i'd like the track...another question is that track to his ex that he recently broke up with? I think i'd have to waut for next year and see what Beyonce & Justin Timberlake bring to the VMA's

riri really needs a diddy

riri really needs a diddy lesson on stage presence. tape your performance, get a big cup of 7-11 slurpee, sit home and rewind the tape. look at all of the things that could've been better. I think both performances of riri were good. She just needs to use the stage to her advantage. Dance more and get a sining coach riri! Just some constructive criticism.

So many people look

So many people look crazy...why? The folks have money and stylists. Someone hand Christina Milian a twirling rifle because she looks like she's just joined a marching band! Hot makeup and hair though! Rihanna....just NO! Did Ciara steal Jessica Simpson's weave? Vanessa Bryant should stop looking through the screen like she's going to beat me up! THE SIMMONS GIRLS... ONE OF THEM U FIGURE IT OUT LOOKS LIKE SHE'S ABOUT TO GO ON A DATE WITH PAUL BUNYUN COUNTRY MESS

[quote comment="196964"][quote comment="196890"]Cut Rihanna some slack! She had a difficult job to do which is open the VMAs. It was her first time opening a big event and she only been in the business for 3 years! I have seen veteran artists do worse. I thought her Disturbia performance was good not great because she seems very nervous and her voice was shaky but a least she sang LIVE which some veteran artists don't do these days![/quote] Cut Rihanna some slack? As you said she has been in the business for 3 years already. Let's see. When an artist is signed that means that one, THEY SHOULD ALREADY BE ABLE TO SING, and perform. They may not be as good as they will be eventually, however they do already have the SINGING down. That performance was not good at all. If it had been another star they would have been torn down QUICK on this board. Style, does not equal a good performance. MTV gave her a good set, and dancers, and the girl still couldn't pull it off. Anybody who opens the show is supposed to bring their A game. What Rihanna did was show that she can't sing at all, can't dance, and really shouldn't even have a recording contract. Modeling maybe. I guess if you get a hair cut, and cute clothes people will fall for n e thing. i rarely comment up here, but I had to throw that in. I read comments all the time on here and let it be another performer they would have been torn to shreds. Is this how far standards have been lowered? Come on now. Other than that there were high points of the show (a tiny few), and low points as you can tell by what I said.[/quote] Yes, I said it and I will repeat it again! Cut Rihanna some slack! There are artist who have been in the game longer than Rihanna and who do not sing a lick of their song when performing. She sang LIVE and she does have a good voice! She was nervous during that Disturbia performance but she redeem herself for her and TI performance. It was the shyt!!

the awards was a huge vat of

the awards was a huge vat of time that i can never get back. russell brand (host this year) was good, no matter what people say-he was funny and edgy enough; britney got sympathy awards so she won't kill herself; jamie foxx is turning into creepy uncle cholly and really needs to grow up; rhianna's performances were the highlight to me; lil wayne should take the first hot thing back to LA, he's dirty and annoying; and if somebody don't pull t-pain by his clown coattails and tell him "try again"...and kanye made a big fuss (per usual) so he could wear his papier mache heart? i would have rather watched a rerun of the republican nat'l convention than to watch this mess..boo, mTv

When did Kobe start dating Pepe LePew? Oh, my bad Vanessa! Ciara left plopped a squirrel on her head and called it a hairstyle. A mess! All in all the show was a snooze...

Ok ok...first off. Rhianna

Ok ok...first off. Rhianna does have great style! Too bad it isn't hers. Does anybody remember when she first came out??? Jeans...clean cut...long weave??? Her style was far from what it is now! Kelis had that hair style before she started rockin it. She is NO true rocker come on people and she can't sing or dance for nothing. I do think she is very pretty and should try modeling or somethin she is tall enough for it. Her performances sucked really bad. Ok got Rhi off my chest. I was disappointed in Kanye's performance. I love him and when he was done singing lol I was like that's it? Come on that had to be a joke. Ciara is very beautiful and her body is sick by that hair she was rockin was a horrible mess. Angela Simmons outfit is soooo sick! She looked tooo cute! Lovin those shoes and the purse! Danity Kane looked bad but they always look bad to me (Dawn is the most talented overall and needs a solo contract come on diddy!) Britney Spears won 3 awards huh??? I think that crap was rigged. How'd she win anything and the last thing anyone ever saw her do was that wack performance on the last VMA'S??? Lil Wayne needs to pull up his pants and wear a shirt 'nough said. Is it me or is he on everybodies song these days, whats next the jonas brothers featuring lil wayne??? lol! I love pussy cats new song but they acted really ditzy, especiall Nicole when she accepted their award. Overall the show was super bad, they've had better one's in the past.

I hated the whole show. I

I hated the whole show. I lost two hours of my life on that mess. The only performance I liked was Pink's. Kanye did not impress me at all but again, I'm not a Kanye fan so it wasn't like he was going to anyway. And OT: I really don't understand how people lack reading comprehension skills. These fools around here seem to need a complete how to guide to interpret what I said or wrote. I meant what I wrote or said, use your 3rd grade comprehension skills to figure it out. If I didn't write or say it, guess what, I didn't want it. Off my soapbox now.

Was he coked up or something?? He spoke soooo fast that between that and the accent I could barely understand him. I'm sick of RiRi's hard look. She should soften up a bit. Loved Kayne's new song, sounded like something Gnarls Barkley would do. Oh, and Happy Monday!

Yall cant tell me Dawn aint looking a million times better these days. Finally her makeup is on point. Looks like shes getting some extra attention to not look so tranny. But reallythough, Dawn can take over, if Cici and Rih Rih's non-singing asses can Dawn damn sure can!

Hi Haters. I see yall logged on early today. I wanna see some pics of some of yall cause I swear yall be talkin a lot of ish about my girl Rihanna. Let's see some pics so we can compare, please. Some sound bites would be nice too. Obviously she's got a hell of a lot people who think differently because she's on every show and fashion magazine. Let the girl be. Can we talk about the bigger issues. . .like Kobe's wife. Does her face have muscles? Can she use a few to smile? She looks like a Kardashian to me.

The show was bad..whoever the creative director was needed to be fired..Rihanna should have been immediately followed by PINK..that host was BLOODY terrible and NEVER needs to come back...the visauals for the awards was crappy..it was just bad direction and production...it didn't FLOW well as a show...Rihanna's performances were good but the show didn't have any real continuity it was way too CHOPPY...Christina was awful, most of the things that were suppoed to be cute were just stupid, Miley, Brit, that group with the girl with the pink hair rocked it, ti rocked it, lil wayne was a circus attraction, leona looked pissed that she had to be a part of the minstrelocity...BOO MTV..YEA RIH....good job given a terrible atmosphere.

I'm mad I wasted my time

I'm mad I wasted my time watching the VMAs. Those were petty awards for Britney. You cannot tell me that she deserved to win. So predictable.TrueBlood was good last nite, though the stereotypical jobless black friend and over flamboyant gay cook was alittle offensive. Anyone else watch it?
