Rapper Lil Kim arrived at the 2009 MTV EMAs (Europe Music Awards) in Berlin Thursday night (Nov 5) looking about 100x better than she usually does! We know we’ll never get the “old Kim” back but at least this is a step up from her usual look. Just keep the knives away from your face Kim, please!!

Rapper Jay-Z came out and spat some verses as he performed “Sunday Bloody Sunday” with U2 in front of Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate during the 2009 MTV EMAs (Europe Music Awards) in Germany. This comes just a few days short of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall (Nov 9th).
U2 partnered up with MTV Europe and performed a free concert to help the city celebrate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Being over 8,000 miles away from New York City didn’t stop Jay-Z from repping his hometown to the fullest when he performed his hit single “Empire State of Mind” from his latest album Blueprint 3 Thursday night (Nov 5) in Berlin Germany at the O2 Arena for the 2009 EMAs (Europe Music Awards).
Alicia Keys is featured on the track and music video but was unable to make it to Germany to perform the song with Jay, so his new artist Bridget Kelly filled in and to tell you the truth, homegirl could really give Alicia a run for her money! The 21-year-old LaGuardia High School graduate is signed to Jay-Z’s Roc Nation label. For more information on her, follow her on Twitter.
Wearing a long dark black dress, singer Leona Lewis performed her latest single “Happy” on stage last night (Thur Nov 5) at the 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards, held at the O2 Arena in Berlin, Germany.
We love Leona and judging solely on vocals, she nailed it! But her performance was definitely forgettable because she just stood in one spot … the … entire … performance, which is really boring. We were hoping she would at least slowly walk down that big azz catwalk as the song progressed or something! It’s a good thing she’s VERY easy on the eyes and had all of those nice visual effects on the screen helping her out.
Leona’s sophomore album Echo is set to be released November 17th in the U.S. (Nov 16 in the U.K.) via J Records. Check out a video of her EMA performance after the cut…
Promoting her latest album She Wolf, Colombian Latin-pop singer/songwriter Shakira performed a great rendition of her new single “Did It Again” at Thursday night’s (Nov 5) 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards in Berlin.
We love how the performance started out just like the music video! Truth be told, we have no idea what she’s saying (who really listens to the words anyway? LOL) but that doesn’t take away from the energy of the overall performance one bit. The ending was dope too, when she put the mic down and did the choreography with the drummers.
Shakira’s new album She Wolf will be released here in the U.S. on November 23rd. Continue reading for the video of her performance.

In response to Kanye West’s outburst Sunday night (Sep 13) at the VMA’s, our very own President Obama was recorded calling the rapper a Jackass! In an off the record conversation with ABC news anchor Terry Moran prior to an interview, the President said:
“I thought that was really inappropriate, you know? The young lady seems like a perfectly nice person, she’s getting her award. What’s he doing up there? He’s a Jackass…”
Obama and the people around him then laughed about his statement, referring to an incident a while back when PETA jumped on his case for killing a fly in an interview.
“Where’s the pool? C’mon guys, cut the President some slack! I’ve got a lot of other stuff on my plate. Because I know the last time was the fly thing. Was that PETA?”
Moran told his 1,000,000+ followers about this on his Twitter shortly after it happened. But now, TMZ has obtained a clip of Obama’s comment. Take a listen above!
By now the whole world knows that Kanye West rudely interrupted Taylor Swift’s VMA acceptance speech Sunday night after it was announced that her video for “You Belong to Me” beat out Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” for a moon man. Kanye thought the award deserved the Beyonce and wasn’t ashamed to let the thousands of people in the crowd and the millions of people tuning in know it. Immediately after the show, he wrote this apology on his blog, that was later taken down:
“I’m sooooo sorry to Taylor Swift and her fans and her mom [Andrea]. I spoke to her mother right after and she said the same thing my mother would’ve said. She is very talented! I like the lyrics about being a cheerleader and she’s in the bleachers! …………………… I’m in the wrong for going on stage and taking away from her moment!…………….. Beyonce’s video was the best of this decade!!! I’m sorry to my fans if I let you guys down!!!!! I’m sorry to my friends at MTV. I will apologize to Taylor 2mrw. Welcome to the real world!!!! Everybody wanna booooo me but I’m a fan of real pop culture!!! No disrespect but we watchin’ the show at the cribe right now cause…. Well you know!!!! I’m still happy for Taylor!!!! Boooyaawww!!!! You are very talented!!!!! I gave my awards to Outkast when they deserved it over me… That’s what it is!!!! I’m not crazy yall, I’m just real. Sorry for that!!! I really feel bad for Taylor and I’m sincerely sorry!!! Much Respect!!!!!”
The interest in this story and the apology that followed drove tons of people to his blog and the server couldn’t handle the traffic so they took the site down temporarily. But when it came back up, that post was gone and was replaced with this:
“I feel like Ben Stiller in “Meet the Parents” when he messed up everything and Robert De Niro asked him to leave… That was Taylor’s moment and I had no right in any way to take it from her. I am truly sorry.”
Here are the videos featuring the performances from Sunday night’s (Sep 13) MTV Video Music Awards: Janet Jackson, Beyonce, Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Lady Gaga and more! Even with all of the mishaps (Kanye and Lil Mama, we’re talking about YOU!), the show turned out great. This year’s VMAs were possibly the best in a while: fun, entertaining and definitely unpredictable. Continue reading to check out all of the performance videos!
Beyonce set the stage on fire Sunday night (Sep 13) and brought the audience to their feet as she performed a rendition of her hit single, “Single Ladies,” at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, held at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. We were under the impression that she would perform her most recent single, “Sweet Dreams” and were a bit disappointed when she didn’t … but overall, she did her thing on the stage and we can’t complain!
