The long awaited Britney Spears opening included a pre-taped clip with Jonah Hill before her blink-and-you'll-miss-it intro which was greeted by a touching standing ovation and eventually three moonmen! Host Russell Brand didn't hold back when bashing President Bush, calling Palin a VILF and begging for Obama support. He also mocked the promise ring wearing Jonas Brothers but Jordin Sparks came to their defense and called Brand a slut. Rihanna looked amazingly badass twice —opening the show with "Disturbia" and later doing a duet with T.I. Other performances included Kanye, Christina Aguilera, Pink, the Jonas Brothers and Kid Rock — all of them full of energy and enjoyable. Also, Demi Moore, Lauren Conrad and Michael Phelps presented awards! So much to talk about, what was your favorite part?

To see LOTS more photos of all of the stars at the show including Paris giving Brit a moonman, Ashlee and Pete, Jonas Brothers, Shia, Christina and LL just read more.

    Britney did look great! I wished she would have performed but I guess she really didn't have anything to promote so she might as well wait until then. This was the worst VMA show I've seen. It was so boring and Russell Brand wasn't a good choice for the host. The set also looked cheap and it looked like they had to cram people in there.

    So happy for Brit Brit. Jordin Sparks can suck it. LOL. Russell Brand was sooooo funny and his jokes about the Jonas Brothers were the funniest of the night. I mean give me a freaking break, its great they choose not to have sex but those who choose to have sex aren't sluts. Give me a break. If done right and safely, sex is fantastic. Some people like to have sex. Its natural and human. Just be safe. Jeez. LOL. Russell and I need to meet up one day. Eye-wink

    Britney looked beautiful. Christina's performance was lame. Rihanna just shouldnt sing live. Russell was annoying as crap. Overall it was totally boring and the most anticlimactic VMA I think I've ever seen. Thumbs down.

    I have to agree LOVE ANGELINA, Jordan Sparks is freaken stupid. Why does having sex make you an automatic slut? If they want to wait fine, but don't rag on the people that don't.

    Overall the show was low budget and looked bad. The choice for the host was insulting and I will never see one of his movies ever ... go back to England, we don't want you here.

    It was a boring show in comparison to most years. I flipped from boredom.

    TERRIBLE show. I switched on and off a lot...a lot more switching off though.

    Taylor Swift seemed like a deer caught in headlights. Poor thing seemed nervous.

    Miley Cyrus was annoying as usual.

    Rihanna couldn't sing and neither could Miley (when she did the Rock Band "skit").
    Christina lip-synching---yuck.

    Mykie i think they are replaying it on mtv on tuesday night.

    I will admit i almost turned the channel when Russel started his speech about Obama and Palin and Bush. I found it obnoxious!

    I watched a nano second of the VMA's and saw Brit win the first award...my husband and I said to the TV "aww, Brit, keep it together"....X-Tina's performance must've sucked b/c I have been reading that...saw Kate Perry singing in the corner lmao...why did they let her do "like a virgin" and her song during commercial breaks, lmao...

    Good thing Pink had taped her nipples, huh? Maybe her shirt shouldn't have been open that much.

    Oh, and the beginning of Christina's performance was stupid. You could barely see her inside that glass wall-elevator thing.

    Has Britney really never won a VMA before? I thought the host was joking when he said that. How is that possible?

    Yeah, overall the show was lame. Thank goodness for TiVo and being able to fast-forward through all the awards and only watch the performances!

    I cringed every time Russell Brand spoke. He was so offensive and not funny. I'm a Democrat and I couldn't even stand his Republican-bashing!

    Bill Cosby use to say only desperate Comedian's have to use vulgar language to get laughs....that's how I felt last night listening to Russell Brand. Was he so desperate that all he could give was Bush jokes? They are so boring. I guess if that's all he's got - that's all he's got.

    thanks Martini, I knew you would haha Smiling

    I kept wanting them to go to Britney when Christina was singing to see what her face was... I was SO wanting that to happen.

    Oh no mention/photos of the BEST part/upset of the night!? Tokio Hotel beating Swift, Perry, Sparks AND Cyrus in Best New Artist? That was my highlight!!

    I liked the VMA's...a lot!

    I was surprised at how small and cheap looking the venue was.I figured with it being the 25th one they would have had a much better show.But I haven't watched this crap in years so maybe its been crappy for awhile!
