There's no amount of money in the world that would make us sit through the American Music Awards (OK, that's not entirely accurate), so instead of a write-up of the snooze-fest, here's an exhaustive collection of photos. From the looks of things, Miley Cyrus once again made the entire event all about her (and her 16th birthday, which she's been celebrating for the past few months). Surprise, surprise.

Just when you start to feel sorry for motherless Kanye West, he has to go off on another one of his deranged tangents about things of no importance whatsoever. This time around, his anger is directed at the MTV Video Music Awards — one of the most legitimate and respected musical events of the year. Except, you know, not.
You see, Kanye thinks these awards shows — both in America and Europe — are "fixed," and he's not OK with the winners of this year's crop:
Britney Spears over Rihanna? Are you serious? I mean f—ing Jared Leto? He's my boy but he shouldn't have won over some of those other artists. I won nothing last year and I'd brought out 'Stronger.' Then this year, just because I was there, I won best urban act. This was Lil Wayne's year.
Yeah, imbeciles! You don't have any respect for the sacred MTV VMAs. Lil Wayne should have won, after all those times he walked through the airport with ice on his knees and his pants around his ankles. That takes dedication! Sheesh, effing squid brains.

EVEN D-BAGS INJURE THEMSELVES FROM TIME TO TIME "Jesse Metcalfe is 'doing fine' after suffering a fall in Monaco over the weekend, his rep tells Usmagazine.com. 'He accidentally slipped off a balcony and was knocked unconscious,' the rep adds, 'but he is fine and now recovering from some minor bruises in a London hospital.'"
It's been barely a week since news broke that Lindsay Lohan's guest stint on Ugly Betty was cut short due to drama on the set, and now she has another botched job on her hands: She's been cut from hosting the World Music Awards in Monaco next weekend.
Apparently the walking disaster hosted the WMAs in 2006, when she proceeded to screw up her lines and call Beyonce to the stage while the singer was still getting her hair done. The producers had a mild case of amnesia and decided the "actress" was so "hot" at the moment that she would be the perfect host. They called in former Desperate Housewives tool Jesse Metcalfe for backup, but LiLo threw a fit because the spotlight wouldn't be totally on her.
In the end, "it was decided by both parties it was better if she pulled out," which means the producers wised up and Lindsay pouted and acted like she didn't want to host the awards in the first place.
Her replacement? Denise Richards. Yeah, that's a step up.

The Hollywood Film Festival awards gala was held last night in Beverly Hills, and we would have admittedly given our right arm to be there. Look at all those pretty men! There's Christian Bale, obviously, and Ryan Gosling, James Franco and Josh Brolin — and two newbies to keep your eyes on, Robert Pattinson (who will be starring in the upcoming Twilight film) and Chris Pine (who will play Captain Kirk in the Star Trek movie). We don't even care that Angelina Jolie made a surprise appearance to pay tribute to Clint Eastwood — there's too much pretty elsewhere.

Lil Wayne, the emotionally stunted rapper who has no control over his own life, is about to take charge of another: A son. Upon accepting an award at the BET Hip Hop Awards over the weekend, he announced that he has a baby on the way and asked everyone to pray for him. It's going to take lots of prayers, dude.
Katy Perry is never one to shy away from awkward (or controversial, for that matter) situations, and her recent performance at the MTV Latin American Awards was no different. The fake-lesbian singer ended her performance of the played-out anthem, "I Kissed a Girl," by belly-flopping onto a large cake. The only issue? The icing was slippery, and the singer took a tumble. And another. And another. She was finally forced to crawl off the stage on her hands and knees. We'll let you come up with the inappropriate jokes.
For some reason, Esquire magazine is still holding what must be slightly creepy meetings in which it rates sexy women, ultimately picking a "sexiest." Inevitably, the woman it chooses is famous. So famous, in fact, that her sex appeal has been significantly diminished because of the simple fact that everyone's sick of seeing her.
Such is the case, we think, with Halle Berry, winner of this year's sexiest title. She's beautiful indeed, but bland (not to mention a "that one"). When did it all get so boring?
Gallery after the jump.

Has the real world, hobbled and on its broke knees, its pockets like rabbit ears, finally had enough of rich Hollywood's televised multi-million dollar mutual masturbation sessions? Signs point to yes.
In February, the Oscar telecast had the lowest ratings in history. And last night, the 60th annual Emmy Awards followed suit.
The three-hour … ceremony received a 3.8 rating/9 share in the adults 18-49 demo — the lowest in Nielsen's recorded People Meter history. That's 12% below last year's previous Emmy record low …
Great work, people! Next up: let's all of us but accident victims stop going to plastic surgeons. And after that, the Hooterses. Join the revolution!
The MTV VMAs are finally upon us, and I don't mind being the only one to admit that I'll be watching them from home tonight with my cat and perhaps a cupcake or two. This is good news for you, dear readers, because you can have a life and skip the circus while I liveblog the entire fiasco for your enjoyment. And if you do end up watching, you can suffer right along with me. CONTINUED »
Elton John and a drunken, slurring Lily Allen got into it big time at a GQ awards show in London last night — and, as you can imagine, Elton made Lily look like a drunken fool.
Terrence Howard caused a bit of behind-the-scenes drama at the ALMA awards this weekend when he went way off script while he was presenting an award with Mexican actress Angelica Vale (the original Ugly Betty). He was apparently so taken with her that he thought it was appropriate to ignore the teleprompter and kick game on stage in front of television cameras and a live, celebrity audience.
Huzzah! America's surrogate grandfather, Morgan Freeman, is said to be recovering nicely from surgery in Tennessee after breaking his arm and elbow in a serious car accident.
Now let's all go back to dreaming about an invite to a Freeman household dinner party. (This I guarantee: the food would be as delicious as the conversation, and there would be a fire in the fireplace.)
When Miley Cyrus was chosen to host the Teen Choice Awards, which was filmed last night and will air tonight, we're unsure whether or not the producers expected her to hog the spotlight as much as she obviously did. Judging from the pictures, she treated the entire awards show like one of her infamous YouTube videos, including her BFF Mandy in most of her bits and ruining a perfectly good LL Cool J performance.
In other news, Dwight graced the show with his presence, Mariah continued to use a glitter microphone, Arcuhleta's dad still won't go away — and when did Chace Crawford become so good-looking?

The pained expression you see at left is Eli Manning's best attempt at a smile during Justin Timberlake's EPSY Awards opening monologue. We couldn't sit through the eight minutes of footage because Justin was just so painful to watch — like a small child trying to keep the attention while all the adults just sit around and ignore him in hopes he will go away. Unfortunately, Justin and his ego stuck around throughout the show.
Click through for the clip and let us know how long you were able to sit through that mess. CONTINUED »
