VMA Invasion
MTV's annual Video Music Awards will air this Sunday, September 7th at 9pm. Yes, MTV still plays videos. As if the city wasn't already filled with too many inflated egos, here comes Kanye West. The VMA's will be worth watching just to see what the Best Hip Hop Video nominee will bitch about this year.
Forget about the show, forget about the career-making or breaking performances, let's talk about the parties. Yeah, we've got our priorities straight. Our favorite part of the VMA LA invasion is the slew of parties with top-shelf talent that will be keeping us  The Kress will host 944 Magazine's VMA Bash tonight with a performance from Ne-Yo. Expect the girls from MTV's "The Hills" to be lounging on megaclub's rooftop, hopefully somewhere On Thursday, MTV's Latino audience will be treated to a fete at Hollywood & Highland's Level 3. Hosted by MTV Tr3s VJ L Boogs, Colby O'Donis will be performing hits from his new Akon produced album along with Calle 13. Friday night is the official Official VMA weekend jump-off party. Hosted by Mr. Janet Jackson himself, Jermaine Dupri, TAG Records presents a sure-to-be celeb-saturated soiree at the Avalon. Performances by Q and the fabulous Fabolous will entertain 'til 2 in the morning. Okay, now party people are going to have a serious dilemma on Saturday night. Panic At The Disco and the Plain White T's will take the stage at Sunset Blvd.'s House of Blues for Rock Band 2's LIFEbeat benefit. LIFEbeat is an organization that uses the talents of major musical talent to raise awareness about the prevention of HIV/AIDS. So for those more into partying for a purpose, get into a partying panic at HOB on Saturday. Also on Saturday, The Roxy will be getting rocked by DJ AM and T-Pain for the Rhapsody Rocks the VMA's party. The award show partying powerhouse House of Hype (pictured bottom right) also opens on Saturday with a celebrity BBQ. Open to celebs and local tastemakers (read: the most fabulous of the fabulous), the House of Hype will provide a gorgeous venue for lounging and partying on Saturday and Sunday nights. All the Hype festivities are sponsored by Sandisk, Arby's, Coffee Bean, and Famous Stars and Straps. Hopefully, we can expect some mini roast beef sandwiches poolside (don't hate us for loving Arby's). No word on who the special surprise performers are, but we're promised that they will be BIG!  And finally, the Official VMA's after-party will be held on the Paramount backlot. We're expecting industry suits, too-fab nominees and presenters and media to be milling around the fake streets of Paramount schmoozing as their business cards burn holes in their pockets. Hopefully Kanye will make our night and show up to complain about whatever losses he suffers that night. (Fingers and toes are crossed) We're just hoping we can make it through VMA week without a Britney incident. Stay tuned for Music Editor Lisa Brenner's live blogging from the show!
