Reuters put together a list of the top 10 moments that took place at last night's MTV Video Music Awards. Because we obviously have a shorter attention span than Reuters, we're going to pick and choose our faves from there.
Apparently, Britney Spears didn't feel confident enough to face the press after collecting three awards. Even though her acceptance speeches were short and sweet (kind of like her sizzling sparkly dress), she skipped out on a paparazzi meet-up. Well-played, if you ask me.
Russell Brand got some rousing applause when he pleaded with the audience to "Please elect Barack Obama, please. On behalf of the world." Uh oh, Sarah Palin is totally going to shoot his skinny little ass.
The audience got rounds of champagne during the show. Man, I didn't know they actually serve free booze. That's probably the only way you could get me to attend and not whine the whole time.
Best new artists Tokio Hotel were emphatic in their assertion that they wouldn't be taking home any awards. In fact the band's frontman Bill Kaulitz said there was "no way we're going to win...there is NO WAY we're going to win." Aww, it's nice to see new kids getting a chance to play.

T-Bone says:
Even more than their dislike for George W. Bush, the people of the United States seem to hate it when foreigners try to tell them what to think and how to act (ie; when the British newspaper, The Guardian, encouraged 14,000 letter writers to contact the undecided voters of a particular county in Ohio to plead with them not to vote for Bush, the county went from totally blue to totally red within a very short amount of time). Perhaps Russell Brand should take note.
Short says:
It's funny you say that T-Bone. I said the same thing while watching. "Oh great, now all the people who think that outside counsel is a bad idea are going to rush to McCain's side because a 'foreigner' had the audacity to encourage us to make an intelligent decision."
