Kanye West & Taylor Swift

That little incident made it to the gossip columns first, but undoubtedly the entire show was dedicated to Michael Jackson. Celebrities paid tribute to the King of Pop, led by his sister Janet Jackson and Madonna who gave a touching speech referring to Jackson as  ”one of the greatest talents the world has ever known”. She spoke of the time when she invited him out to dinner.
She also spoke about darker times, when he was hounded by child abuse allegations:
“I had abandoned him,” she said. “We had abandoned him, that we allowed this magnificent creature who lit the world on fire to somehow slip through the cracks.”
Watch Madonna’s speech on Jackson in the video below:

Lace Gaga

And finally, my favourite outfit out of the three Lady Gaga wore at the VMAs – the red lace doily. Again, the headgear “makes” the outfit. Clearly a lot of thought was put into the hat. Nah, regardless of that, I just adore her. She’s a breath of fresh air in the entertainment world – at a point where I could very well rip my hair out if I see yet another starlet sashay down in red carpet wearing Marchesa.

Lady Gaga as Phantom of the Opera

Lady Gaga as Phantom of the Opera

Just because I just love her, I will be putting not 1 but 3 pics of Lady Gaga at the MTV VMAs. Picture 1 is her doing the whole Phantom of the Opera, one-eyed face mask look. If you take away the kooky headgear this could look fresh out of a John Galliano couture show. I like it – it’s fashion forward and certainly not tastefully bland and boring.
