MTV Video Awards 2006 Live Thread
TV's depths of inanity | 8-31-2006

Posted on 08/31/2006 3:42:56 PM PDT by lainie

The 2006 MTV Video Music Awards are tonight at 8 PM eastern. Look forward to host Jack Black, an endless parade of shameless self-congratulations and drunken F-bombs, and maybe some cretins trying to out-gross past appearances. Scheduled performances: Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, Christina Aguilera. Mayor Bloomberg announced that Shakira will win (no, I'm not kidding).

To commemorate the show's return to New York City, MTV has produced VMANYC2006, which will be "the site that never sleeps," with a map showing favorite celebrity places in NY.

I think so. Like I said, I haven't kept up really. But wait.. MCR are the ones that showed up in the vehicle, so either they went up 70 floors fast, or it was someone else. :shrug:

I think I'll be shocked if she ever just acts as herself. She keeps putting out these different characters. Just sing, woman.

Beyonce in the house. In a really unflattering frock.

I don't know I would rather her be doing that, then be herself like Britney is being herself.

Jay Z announced the show in thug style, and Timberlake is dancing. This is being simulcast in HD on MtvHD. Why don't I have that?

Well, you have a point there. But White Trash Britney is entertaining, too.

I thought having that monkey as a pet ended when Friends went bye-bye.

I suppose he could say he's 'going retro.'

Jack Black is on, as a big fat Elvis.

Music?

Last night I was channel surfing and I wound up watching PBS's American Masters: Judy Garland >

Now that gal could sing. Never mind that she could also dance and act.

After watching someone with so much talent, I'm bewildered by what passes for " talent" these days.

You and me both. If you want to see utterly overpaid nontalent, just watch this for the next 3 hours. I saw in the intro, Federline and Fergie both are scheduled. Now THAT'S some horrifyingly untalented musicianship.

And it sounds like The Raconteurs will be there to play all night. Sweet.
