Lil' Wayne, who gave one of the more memorable VMA performances this weekend thanks to his inability to keep his pants on, seems to be quite the diva: The troubled rapper, who has a history of run-ins with the law that doesn't quite rival that of DMX, reportedly refused to take the stage at Friday night's "Fashion Rocks" event because he didn't want his bag checked by security. So he bailed, which then led to him changing his mind and being a pain in the ass for the rest of the night.
Click through for the full entertaining story, as told by a senior production staffer.
We can only hope that after this photo was taken Britney Spears told the Jonas Brothers to run for their lives. If there's anything interesting about the VMAs, it's the interactions behind the scenes between stars who would normally never speak to each other.

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?

We were waiting for this to post on YouTube after witnessing the event live on television. Chris Brown performed that annoying song that was ruined by American Idol robot David Archuleta, "With You," on the Today show yesterday morning, and — geeze, where to begin? He sings approximately 50 percent of the song; he gets mauled by fans while his security and the show producers panic in the background; the anchors awkwardly dance … it's just the most uncomfortable performance we've ever seen on a morning program. And that's including Fergie's crotch show.
The MTV Movie Awards were held last night, and I admittedly couldn't bring myself to sit through the hours-long crapfest. Just by looking at the pictures (after the jump), it's obvious I didn't miss much.
Anyone care to share exciting stories from the show (if you decided to punish yourself last night)? CONTINUED »
Last night's American Idol was Jason Castro- and excitement-free, littered with Randy Jackson's incomprehensible ramblings and typical final three lackluster performances. David Archuleta attempted to "youthanize" his image with a traumatizing rendition of Chris Brown's "With You," complete with awkward swaying you might find at a middle school dance. And Archie? Don't call me "boo." Ever.

IT'S HARD OUT HERE FOR A PAP "A photographer for a Florida newspaper claims he was pummeled and robbed [Tuesday] night by R&B singer Chis Brown's bodyguards. … He claims when he snapped Chris Brown in an SUV, Brown's bodyguards chased him and forced him to the ground. One guard put his knee on [the photographer]'s jaw and took his $3,000 camera."
At right, in the shirt promoting murder, is Rihanna's brother, Rorrey. These photos were taken from Rorrey's Facebook profile, and they capture Rihanna with boyfriend Chris Brown at home in Barbados to enjoy a national holiday in her honor.
Aptly called Rihanna Day, it's a somber holiday for Barbadians, who on that day must come to terms with the fact that a 20-year-old girl's annoying song detailing a cheesy metaphor is their most exciting export in years.

Here's a cute couple: Rihanna and Chris Brown. The two went public at her surprise 20th birthday party in LA.
After the crowd — including guests Kanye West and Wilmer Valderrama — belted out Happy Birthday, 'Chris stood up and serenaded her with his own version, and she was beaming. He grabbed her when the song was over and kissed her.'
The source adds that aside from Brown's friendly dance-off with Valderrama that night, he and Rihanna 'constantly had their hands all over each other and were rarely apart.'
Remember when Rihanna was dating Shia LeBeouf? That was bizarre. Hopefully she's over that whole Walgreens Rebel stage. Lord knows it took us a few years … and lots of drug store arrests.

The celebs came out in droves for UMG's Grammy Celebration; among them was renowned musical genius Lindsay Lohan. Where was her Grammy? "Rumors" is still one of the most beautiful songs of all time. She spent the evening hanging out with the great influences of Hollywood at a venue that was sure to be alcohol- and drug-free.
