The famous Video Music Awards of Mtv returned this year to the Radio City Music Hall of New York City (in '08 they were at the Paramount Studios in Culver City and in '07 at the Palms in Las Vegas). Starting with a tribute to the king of Pop, Michael Jackson, the event was full of stars and memorable moments.
The show began with Madonna and her speech about Michael Jackson, followed by a tribute performance with songs of the king of Pop, including one with Janet Jackson. The host of the event was the british Russel Brand, who hosted last year show.
The awkward moment of the show came only minutes after the opening, when Taylor Swift won Best Female Video against Beyoncé. At this time she was starting saying the thank yous when suddenly Kanye West get up on stage, grab her microphone and said: "But Beyoncé should win Best Video of All the Times". Poor Taylor went speechless and when Kanye returned her the microphone, she was inmutated and didn´t said anything. At the end, Single Ladies of Beyoncé win Video of the Year and she called Taylor so she could have her moment, and finish saying the Thank yous.
The winner of Best Pop Video was Britney Spears and Womanizer, she wasn't at the event but recorded a video to thank for the award. Poker Face of Lady GaGa win in Best New Artist, she get up on the stage with a red dress that was literally from head to toes, and included a red crown.
The performers of the night was Pink, Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Jay-Z with Alicia Keys and Green Day. My favorite performance was definitely Lady Gaga, it was so good to hear her singing live Paparazzi with that dramatic tragedy.
And LOL to Shakira who was wearing exactly the same dress as Pink!

HILARY DUFF [In Style Magazine Shoot]
Hil is such a beauty. She was filming scenes for the next season of Gossip Girl in New York, went to one of Britney Spears shows in the Madison Square Garden, and also does this photoshoot for In Style magazine. It's quite simple, but I love it. Her facial expression tells a lot. Such a nice girl! Good work Hilary.
