Lady Gaga Meat Dress
Last night’s MTV Video Music Awards featured big wins by Lady Gaga who wore a meat dress and scored 8 VMA’s. She won for Best Female Video, Video Of The Year, Best Pop Video, Best Collaboration, Best Dance Music Video, Best Choreography, Best Direction, and Best Editing. It was her hit song Bad Romance that scored her award after award. Eminem also won two VMA’s for his hit song Not Afraid which were Best Male Video and Best Hip Hop Video. Throughout the night we saw performances from Eminem who was joined by Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Usher, Drake, but the two most anticipated were by Kanye West and Taylor Swift. Remember from last year when Taylor Swift was accepting her award for Best Female Video and Kanye got up on the stage grabbed the mic from her and said the award should have gone to Beyonce, well it seems the two both addressed the issue in their performances last night. Taylor performed her new song Stealing Innocence in which the lyrics say
“It’s alright, just wait and see
Your string of lights is still bright to me
Oh, who your are is not where you’ve been
You’re still an innocent
It’s okay, life is a tough crowd
Thirty two and still growing up now
Who you are is not what you did
You’re still an innocent”
Many believe she is addressing Kanye in the song and forgiving him. The lyrics set off quite a buzz on the internet with everyone searching for the age of Kanye West. He was born June 8, 1977 which makes him 33 now but 32 at the time he interrupted her on the stage and at which she most likely wrote the song. Later in the night Kanye performed a new song as well for the first time called Runaway and the lyrics say “Let’s have a toast for the douchebags,” he rapped. “Let’s have a toast for the a——s. Let’s have a toast for the scumbags. Let’s have a toast for the jerk—s. Baby, I got a plan. Runaway fast as you can.” It seems as though he is speaking of himself in the lyrics. The show was hosted by Chelsea Handler.

So then after the last blow to my head with the firecracker they threw at me exploded, my bodygaurd and the other security grabbed me and ran as fast as they could to the shitty trailor. Since their security SUCKS, the 2 thousand people ran after us, trying to kill me. They almost got me so they finally reach the trailor, blood all over myself, cant stop bleeding, then all of a sudden, all 2 thousand people surround the trailor and busts the windows!!! Even the guys INSIDE with me were shaking! Their hands were shaking cuz they were so scared! So 3 guys inside the trailor had to grab a table and push it over the broken windows and grabbed all the chairs they could find so hold the people from outside back. It was scary as hell!” The fans at the festival which was organized for the hip hop group Insane Clown Posse, are generally young people who wear clown make up and are referred to as juggalos and juggalettes. A performer that night who didn’t not want to be named because he did not want to anger the juggalos said Tila was then chased to her trailer where they rocked it and broke out her windows.

Jessica Simpson’s Lucky Magazine Photoshop Controversy

Jessica Simpson Lucky Magazine
In the September issue of Lucky Magazine Jessica Simpson the 30 year old singer and reality star says that she is at peace with her full figure and curves. Simpson is also quoted saying “We all obsess over looking like the perfect Barbie type, and that’s not always what’s beautiful. It’s about making peace with yourself.” The controversy surrounding the cover photo is that it is very obvious that Simpson has been airbrushed and appears about 10 to 20 lbs thinner than she really is. In the picture on the cover and inside the magazine it looks as if her head is disproportionate to her body. One Lucky magazine reader is quoted as saying “While I appreciate the comments [Jessica Simpson] makes about loving and accepting her body, I would find them more believable if she did not allow the magazine to airbrush her until her body looks nothing like the ‘real’ Jessica. These are the ways we could actually induce change rather than just giving it lip service. The body in these pictures is NOT the body we see in candid shots. I doubt it could hold up the head on top of it in real life. Come on Jessica!! Take a REAL stand!”
