| The
MTV VMA's is my favorite award show because it has the most
occurrences of celebrities making big time asses of themselves.
Jimmy
Fallon isn't funny and was destined to bomb from the beginning.
In the opening act he parodied many of the nominees including
Eminem, Nelly, The White Stripes and Dave Matthews. This
worked until he jumped
to the third song where he was out of breath and his parodied
lyrics became muffled and unintelligible. His best moments
were comments made about Fat Joe eating the Olson Twins.
It wasn't anything genius, original or funny, but they showed
the Fat Joe in the audience during the first joke and he
didn't look very amused. Another unfunny comment was one
he made after Michael Jackson came on stage. Fallon said,
"Michael looks good for 44, but I think he had some
work done". Here's a guy who is on Saturday Night Live
and sits on the same chair as such legends as Chevy Chase
and Norm McDonald and the best thing he can come up with
is a Michael Jackson plastic surgery joke! I think he does
a lot of the writing on SNL, so it's no wonder it sucks
so bad these days. How about some Robert Downey drug jokes
or a Pee Wee Herman masturbation gag?
More
unintentional comedy came upon us when Michael Jackson was
presented with a cake to celebrate his 44th birthday. Britney
Spears introduced him and commented that she feels that
he is the "artist of the millennium". Jackson
proceeded to thank everyone from Quincy Jones to magician
David Blaine, thinking that he was really getting the "Artist
Of The Millennium Award"!! HA HA HA. Happy Birthday
Michael? Hopefully someone bought you "a clue"
and wrapped it with a big red bow on top.
Then
we were given a real treat… Justin Timberlake came out and
sang for us!! MTV billed this as Justin's first solo performance
EVER!!! He came out on top of a huge boom box wearing a
faggy black hat with red trim, black jacket and really cool
fingerless gloves. He looked like a white
Michael Jackson. Wait, isn't that an oxymoron? He continued
to sing and then four other dancers swarmed behind him doing
a silly routine. Now, my question is what in the hell makes
this any different from N'Sync? There were still five homos
on stage dancing in synchronicity. Hopefully this song and
performance will act as a wake up call for America. After
the performance, the rest of N'Sync came out (minus butt
space-pirate Lance Bass) to present an award. And in another
example of how cool Justin is… this time he came out with
the same style hat but different color. He actually brought
two hats, one to change into backstage between appearances.
People buy his music, now THAT'S comedy!!!
The
funniest moment of the night came as the late great Axl
Rose took the stage and performed with his new band Guns
N Roses. No original members were with him of course but
he did have a masked bassist that looked like he was from
a retarded version of Slipknot except for the fact that
he wore a bucket on his head. Why didn't Slipknot think
of that? Rumor is that the bucket is actually
Axl's in case he needs to empty his Depends. They played
Welcome To The Jungle, Civil War, then closed with Paradise
City. But the performances didn't even come close to most
of the redneck, mullet infested Guns N Roses karaoke experiences
I have had in my lifetime. Axl's beer belly, hair plugs
and tone deafness was good for about 10 minutes of uncontrollable
laughter. His trademark gritty high pitched howl has turned
into a flat growl which sounds like my neighbor's German
Shepard when it hears an ambulance siren. It was one of
the single most unbelievable moments I have ever witnessed
on TV, right up there with Mariah Carey's "strip tease" on TRL and Boy George falling asleep in mid sentence which
was shown on his VH1 Behind The Music. If you missed this,
please make it a point to watch it during one of the 10,000
times MTV will replay it this month. It was better than
Ozzy and Anna, this was just GREAT TV!!!

She now has these HUGE and ugly tattoos on her left arm and
leg. However, the obvious fact that she has deep psychological
issues makes up those points. A major disappointment in the
broad department was Britney's biker slut outfit, which was
not sexy in the least and made her look very foolish. Making
Britney look like a little amateur whore was Shakira, who
danced and dressed like a real woman. Her ass shaking, hip
grinding performance left me with definite blood flow. She
evoked feeling in me that I haven't felt in years.
Other
than that, the show was very insignificant and uneventful.
J-Lo cut her hair, Eminem gave Moby the finger, The Olson
Twins bombed, Sammy Hagar and David Lee Roth presented an
award and Anna Kournikova trimmed a hair that was hanging
from Enrique Iglesias' mole. Conspicuous by their absence
were Kid Rock, those little Limp Bizkit bastards, Madonna,
DMX and Jay-Z.
