VMAs and shizzit

When did 50 Cent get a movie? Why am I terrified about the future of pop culture?

Usher is now onstage -- he enters up through the stage in some flashy-ass shit. He babbles on about dancing and shows a dance off or some shit. The nominees for best dance video are announced.

Missy Elliott wins for Lose Control, which makes sense to me. That's one hell of a video and that's a song that's even making me do the "sitting on my ass dance" as I type this. One question thought: Is Ciara Missy's new Allyiah?

Eric Roberts makes an appearance. Apparently you can make a living doing video cameos for The Killers and Mariah Carey. He introduces R. Kelly -- child molester (I'm sorry -- ALLEGED child molester), who's performing Trapped in the Closet.

Right now it's a quick synopsis of the first chapter via video clip. Maybe he couldn't get permission to travel. Oh wait. Here he is. Lipsyncing badly. It's like watching a really bad soap actor practice his monologue. What's more disturbing is watching the crowd continue to go apeshit over this piece of shit which is shitty lipsyncing. He's not even making an effort. The song's running while he's not moving his lips. This is so hysterically awful.

Wow. The second chapter of this song is also awful. The melodrama is thicker than the shit in the lyrics. What's even funnier is that at the end, the preacher gives up his gay lover for his wife. Cuz you can't have gay people in hip hop.

Jermey Piven snarks about Shakira...aaannnnddd commercial!

I thought you could now, since Lord Kanye said it was OK.
