Beyonce was the major winner of the evening at the 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards (EMAs) in Berlin. She took home a total of three EMA trophies - Best Female, Best Song and Best Video.

Eminem won the coveted Best Male category at the Awards, which honors and celebrates Europe's contemporary music stars, while Jay-Z triumphed in the Best Urban category. U2 clinched a well-deserved Best Live Act - scoring their third EMA award win since the MTV Europe Music Awards debuted in 1994.

Creative powerhouse Lady Gaga was honored in the Best New Act category while Green Day scored a victory over the Best Rock contenders. Best Group went to German rockers Tokio Hotel, who also wowed the 9,000-strong crowd with a stunning rendition of their hit "The World Behind My Wall," culminating in an explosive pyrotechnical display and the band's instruments consumed by flames.

Host Katy Perry brought her trademark energy and quirky humor to the awards, appearing in a dazzling array of costumes and looks inspired by burlesque and Liza Minnelli's Oscar-winning appearance in Cabaret, the novel which lifted the lid on decadent 1930's Berlin.

Among the many show highlights was a strikingly sexy performance of "Happy" by Leona Lewis, an upbeat version of "Sweet Dreams" by Beyonce and a high octane rock medley of "Wheels" and "All My Life" by the Foo Fighters. Colombian siren Shakira sent temperatures rising with a steamy performance of "Did It Again," performed with dancers dressed only in skimpy towels.

Everybody and their brother--including the Jonas Brothers--showed up to the 2009 MTV Europe Awards dressed to the nines. Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas were decked out in their trademark shiny suits while the members of Tokio Hotel opted for a more ostentatious look, as did Pete Wentz with his "black eye."

Hostess for the evening, Katy Perry looked elegant with her dark black locks swept back in a classic updo as she showed off her show-stopping figure in an elegant pale-pink and black gown.

Shakira and Joss Stone both opted for short, flirty frocks, with the Colombian pop star donning a sexy silver mini-dress and the British singer showing off some black knee-high boots with her blue toga dress.

The ever-lovable Tom Hanks took his charming movie star self to David Letterman's talk show (although the baby he met outside the studio didn't think he was so charming) and dropped a bombshell of a revelation. The Forest Gump star admitted that his favorite song of 2009 is none other than the catchy Beyonce Knowles song, "Single Ladies."

Starting to sing the catchy tune for the audience, Hanks crooned something to the effect of, "Dada-dada ring on it! Dada-dada ring on it!" The 53-year-old Hollywood veteran admits, "That is a damn fine song, the Beyonce song...because it's infectious."

Additionally, Hanks finds that the lyrics have been applicable in his relationship with his wife, Rita Wilson, confessing that his thoughts when they first met were as follows: "I'm gon' put a ring on that finger. I'm gon' take that thing home."

The only thing missing is a Tom putting on black unitard and shaking his groove thang.

In the past, singer Beyonce Knowles has been deemed too bootylicious during her on-stage performances for Malaysian audiences, so it should come as no surprise that the pop star is postponing her concert at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium in Kuala Lumpur.

While a spokesperson for the Malaysian promoter of the event claims, "The postponement is soley [the] decision of the artist and has nothing to do with other external reasons," this situation sounds all-too familiar for the former Destiny's Child frontwoman, who is in Asia as part of her international I Am... tour.

I can only imagine what they'd think of Lady GaGa. I can't see her getting past customs.

Leggy pop star, Beyonce Knowles, is making a splash in Asia at the moment. The House of Dereon designer stopped by Tokyo, Japan for a special meet and greet to promote a line of handbags hosted by Samantha Thavasa.

At the event, the singer donned a black, layered, strapless mini-dress and a pair of sky-high blue pumps to show off her famous legs. While she might be clutching a bright, shiny bag in one hand, it's hard to notice anything past her trademark stunning smile.

Knowles is scheduled to make her way to the Wukesong Arena in Beijing, China later this month for a sold-out performance as part of her I Am... tour. Huang Leixiang, who runs Beyonce's fan club in Beijing, "She is really hot and expresses all things good about the modern woman." That sounds about right.

The inevitable pairing of pop mistresses, Lady Gaga and Beyonce Knowles, has finally taken place and under the shroud of secrecy. Life & Style reports that earlier this month, the two ladies met up for a highly covert meeting at a studio in NYC.

Their mission? To film the music video for Beyonce's upcoming single, "Video Phone." An inside source dished to the mag, "Beyonce wears a feathered dress. And of course Lady Gaga wears something wild. The fashion is sick and insane."

I'm not a math whiz, but I do know know this. Sasha Fierce + Lady GaGa should definitely = fabulousness.

Last Friday at BIllboard's fourth annual Women In Music event, Beyonce spoke out for the first time about Kanye West's VMAs on-stage interruptus. MTV.com reports that while the singer understood what Kanye was standing up for, she wasn't all that pumped about his game plan.

"Well, I knew his intentions, and I knew he was standing up for art; and he told me before, when they said the nominees, he's like, 'You have this award,' Beyoncé told O: The Oprah Magazine editor Gayle King after accepting her award. "And when they didn't call my name he was, like, completely shocked. And when he walked on the stage, I was like, 'No, no, no!' and then he spoke, and I was like, 'Oh, no, no, no!'

But in the end, it ended up being a great night, and Taylor Swift did get her moment -- and I didn't have to make an acceptance speech,' she added, laughing. "

Everybody wins!  Except West.  West needs an extended time-out.  No more crazy concert times for you and GaGa.

The Singapore Grand Prix was the event to attend, with Beyonce Knowles performing at the F1 Rocks Singapore event. The singer kicked her heels up on stage in her signature gold lame bodysuit.

For her meet-up with race car driver and winner of the event, Lewis Hamilton, and his Pussycat Doll singer girlfriend, Nicole Scherzinger, Beyonce donned a sporty outfit of black short-shorts, tight-fitting racing top and some dark sunglasses.

Lindsay Lohan acted as commentator for the televised event and according to a source that dished to the London Evening Standard, "She was obviously nervous as she had problems remembering her lines."

Additionally, the actress reportedly had an assistant standing by, charged with the task of wiping the sweat from Lindsay's upper lip. Where can I sign up for that job? That sounds like a good time waiting to happen.

After Taylor Swift was cut off from finishing her acceptance speech for her win in the Best Female Video category, Beyonce Knowles rectified the situation as best she could.

Knowles told the audience, while receiving her prize for Video of the Year, "I remember being 17 years-old, up for my first MTV award with Destiny's Child and it was one of the most exciting moments of my life, so I would like for Taylor to come out and have her moment." From there, Swift finished thanking her fans and gave Beyonce a big hug.

As for Kanye, he was asked to leave the VMAs after his display on stage. Blame it on the A-A-A-A-AL-COHOL, I guess.

Other winners for the evening included rapper T.I., who won the moonman for Best Male Video for his single, "Life Your Life." Best New Artist went to the costume-loving Lady GaGa while Britney Spears accepted her Best Pop Video award for "Womanizer" via a pre-recorded speech.

Eminem's "We Made You" won Best Hip Hop Video and Green Day took home the trophy for Best Rock Video for their video, "21 Guns."
