Pink backstage at the Paramount lot. Why someone her age would intentionally make herself look 55, I'm not sure.

I don't know their names, either. I do know there's a fourth JoBro who's younger, and when he gets trotted out they refer to him as the Bonus Jonas.

They made sure to get a pic with Britney too.

I’ve seen Paramore perform. They’re good. Apparently, they’re also all Christians too.

Oh yeah? Good!

[gathersnomoss]

That’s it. Not very original.

This from a yahoo live web blog that was going on during the show:

6:09pm - Russell Brand, apparently wearing Amy Winehouse's discarded beehive wig and Ashlee Simpson's pre-pregnancy skinny jeans, struts onstage to an Oasis song. That's the first time Oasis have been played on MTV since 1995! Well done, lads. Anyway, Russ wastes no time in blatantly plugging Barack Obama and calling Prez Dubya a "retarded cowboy." The press room collectively cheers. Guess the stereotype is true: We media types really are a liberal bunch.
