It was an evening of fabulous performances, memorable moments, and tons of trophies, and the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards also included a killer debut video from Nicki Minaj and Rihanna.
The “Pink Friday” rapper and the “Russian Roulette” songstress joined forces for the brand-spanking-new “Fly” music video, and it’s quite the wild ride.
According to MTV, “The video plays out like some post-apocalyptic fashion magazine photo shoot in which Nicki Minaj and Rihanna stand near a plane wreck in couture outfits, mugging for the camera.”
“Fly” was actually filmed way back in January and was directed by Nicki’s “Super Bass” helmsman Sanaa Hamri.
With so many celebrities in the same place at the same time, there are bound to be a few ex-lover run-ins, and Demi Lovato and Joe Jonas reunited at last night’s (August 28) MTV Video Music Awards.
The “Camp Rock” co-stars bumped into each other backstage at the Nokia Theater and, if there were any hard feelings, it didn’t show.
With cameras and press surrounding them, Demi and Joe happily stood next to each other and posed for several pictures.
At the time of their breakup back in May 2010, Jonas released this statement reading: "It was my choice to breakup, but I love her as a friend. She's been there for me when I needed her. I will continue to be her friend and be there for her."
Heading home after debuting his latest directorial piece, Shia LaBeouf and girlfriend Karolyn Pho were spotted leaving the Silent Movie Theater in Los Angeles, California after last night's (August 28) premiere of "Born Villain."
Making his appearance in full scruff, the "Transformers" fellow donned a blue blazer, red tie and vintage washed jeans to the event while his gorgeous lady friend paired a sleeveless black top with an elegant, flowing red full-length skirt.
The outing follows a reportedly tense evening at the L.A. opening of The Box nightclub on Friday, where sources say Shia and a pal of Marilyn Manson - who stars in "Born Villain" - got into a verbal altercation.
According to the New York Post, Mr. LaBeouf “exchanged tense words with a friend of Manson’s, who lunged over the table at Shia, and Shia lunged back. Security stepped in quickly and broke it up before any punches were thrown."
The publication then went on to say the 25-year-old had to be escorted out of the establishment by two security guards, however, his rep denies the claim.
The former Disney star's camp told the paper that he “actually left the club early as planned… exiting through a crowded room was apparently misinterpreted. No altercation occurred."
She never does anything halfway, and Lady Gaga went all out to fully assume her male alter ego of Jo Calderone for the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards.
The “Born This Way” songstress reportedly used only Mens’ restrooms for the day in order to make the transformation as authentic as possible.
During her performance, Gaga declared, "She left me! She said it always starts out good and then the guys -- meaning me, I'm one of the guys -- we get crazy. I did. I got crazy. But she's f---ing crazy too, right?"
However, not everyone loved Lady Gaga as a dude. Edward Paige, a music and television producer, told FOX News, “Gaga's shtick wore out its welcome in the first two minutes. In her effort to be original and run away from the cube hat wearing copycats, like Katy Perry, I think she might have pushed the audience too far. People originally embraced Gaga because in all her quirkiness was authentic in that she didn't fit in. But stepping outside the more comfortable vixen role could hurt her. Does MTV or its throngs of little girls’ fans want a diva that looks like Ralph Macchio doing a Lenny Bruce routine? I doubt it.”
She’s been enjoying her newlywed moments with husband Kris Humphries, and on Saturday (August 27) Kim Kardashian was spotted returning from her honeymoon to see her family.
The “Disaster Movie” babe hung out with her sisters Khloe, Kourtney, and Kylie, as well as Scott and Mason Disick in Calabasas, California.

She’s never one to be left out, and last night (August 28) Ashley Tisdale was in the house for the Candie’s MTV Video Music Awards afterparty.
The “High School Musical” actress showed off her fabulous figure in a slim-fitting black and floral dress with gladiator-style heels as she posed on the red carpet outside the Colony in Hollywood.
Earlier in the evening, Ashley let all her Twitter followers know how pumped she was for the big post-awards shindig.
Tizzie tweeted, “Can't wait for the Candies after party hosted by my girl!!” as she was getting all gussied up.
Making the most of her time in Italy, Bar Refaeli was spotted sunning herself in a stunning blue bikini yesterday afternoon (August 28).
The Israeli supermodel pranced around the Kauris III luxury yacht off the coast of Portofino while eager paparazzi snapped up pictures.
Bar bathed in the sea and played volleyball along with some friends who had come along for the ride (and the view!).
During her Mediterranean tour, Ms. Refaeli has been keeping her Twitter followers up-to-date on her festivities, including “belly dancing in Greece or at least trying to.”
Kicking off the week with a trip to the movies, Brad Pitt was spotted at a cinema in Richmond, London, England today (August 29).
The “Fight Club” stud looked to have his hands full as his kids Pax, Shiloh, Zahara, Vivienne, Knox, and Maddox all came along for the ride.
As for his current project “World War Z,” it seems Brad played the part of hero to an extra who fell during production last week.
An insider told press, “It was total chaos as 700 extras were trying to get down the street – they were banging into moving cars, cameras and military who were carrying heavy machine guns. Lots of people hurt themselves, and Brad came to the rescue of a woman who slipped.”
“I don’t think she could believe it when Brad picked her up. He didn’t have time to speak to her as it was mid-shoot. But she said afterward how grateful she was, despite having a badly-grazed knee.”
Putting those pesky divorce rumors to rest once and for all, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith were spotted side-by-side while out in Malibu, CA on Wednesday (August 24).
With the paparazzi on them like glue, the happy couple grabbed brunch at Bob Morris' Beach Cafe before shopping at the Malibu Colony Company.
Rumors of a break up sparked when In Touch released a story full of silly details claiming that Jada and Marc Anthony (JLo’s ex) were sneaking around.
However, reps for both Anthony and Pinkett Smith deny that there’s any illicit romance between them, with her spokesperson telling press, “Everything about Jada and Marc Anthony is false.”
Treating fans to superstar surprise, Justin Bieber dropped by Taylor Swift's sold out Los Angeles show at Staples Center last night (August 23).
Quickly catching the audience's attention, the 21-year-old songstress asked, "Who wants to see m friend Justin?." That's when the "Never Say Never" crooner suddenly emerged onstage, inciting a full-blown frenzy as he and Taylor belted out a special duet of his hit "Baby."
Making good on his word, Justin hinted towards an appearance when he tweeted a message to the "Mean" singer recently, writing, “Heard you sang BABY at your concert in TO. thank u for the love… might have to come by and stop in on a show."
Noting the crazy excitement of the crowd, Swift took to her twitter to dish about Tuesday night's concert, as she wrote, “You think you’ve heard LOUD screaming in your life. Then @justinbieber comes out and does a surprise song during your show.”
Continuing along with their short and sweet honeymoon, Kim Kardashian joined new husband Kris Humphries for their first romantic dinner away from their hotel in Naples, Italy on Thursday night (August 25).
While the E! babe was dolled up in a lovely dress, her NBA player hubby chose to dress down in shorts and a baseball hat as the newlyweds ate the the famous Eolo restaurant in the downtown area.
Once finished with their delectable meals, the couple leisurely walked the city streets before catching a lift back to their luxury hotel.
Meanwhile, the European getaway will soon be drawing to an end - as Kim is set to head to New York to begin filming season two of "Kourtney & Kim Take New York" while also scheduled to appear at Sunday night's (August 28) MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles.
Planning to jet off for a much lengthier (and tropical) honeymoon at a future date, Kim told People magazine, “We want to take our big honeymoon later."
As they ready to debut season three of their hit show “Glee,” the cast can be seen in a brand sneak speak video titled, “Dodgeball.”
The main characters from the Emmy winning FOX comedy released the video last night (August 24) in anticipation of the September 20th premiere.
As always, the talented cast has viewers captivated with Sue Sylvester back to her old ways while “We Got the Beat” blares in the background.
Earlier in the week, the cast’s brand new music video for Fashion’s Night Out - which takes place on September 8th - was released.
Having been rumored to be an item since late June, Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield offered a little confirmation to the claims during a rare non-work related sighting in Malibu, CA on Thursday night (August 25).
The "Amazing Spider-Man" co-stars kept their distance and made sure not to give awaiting photogs any PDA-filled shots as they exited Nobu restaurant following an evening sushi dinner date.
Word of the new off-screen romance was first reported by Us Weekly, as their source told at the time, "They got close during filming and have been hooking up. They haven't gone public, but he's told his friends."
The sighting comes just a day after comedic actor Jim Carrey posted a strange video on his TruLife website to declare his love for Miss Stone.
In the Carrey clip, the "Ace Ventura" star began by saying, “I just wanted to let you know that I think you’re all the way beautiful. If I were a lot younger, I would marry you, and we would have chubby little freckle-faced kids.”
Carrey then confessed he’s too old for Stone, noting his wrinkled forehead, a bit of grey in his beard, and the fact that it “takes him a little longer to pee than it used to.”
She’s no stranger to accolades, and last night (August 28) Katy Perry was given the Video of the Year Award at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards.
The “Hot N Cold” songstress was thrilled to hear her name called as her video for “Firework” nabbed the top honors.
She declared, "Oh my goodness! Thank you so much. This has been a night of firsts. This is my second Moonman. I'm very proud of the song it stands for, which is 'Firework.' I feel like I am doing something right when I sing that song. So thanks to everyone who helped to create it."
Katy concluded, "To all of y'all out there! Thank you so much! To all my fans! And last but not least, my husband!"
