MTV Video Music Awards: Tyler, The Creator, the Best New Artist

The audience went crazy at the MTV Video Music Awards with Tyler, The Creator, winning the best new artist award. He was the true show stealer.
"Yo, I'm excited as f--- right now, yo," he said at Sunday night's awards. "I wanted this sh-- since I was nine. I'm about to cry. This is for my little brother Earl. "
The 20-year-old has already become the heartthrob of millions around the globe. To win the award, he faced stiff competition from fellow Best New Artist nominees, Big Sean ("My Last," featuring Chris Brown), Foster the People ("Pumped Up Kicks"), Kreayshawn ("Gucci Gucci") and Wiz Khalifa ("Black and Yellow").
On a more somber mood, Amy Winehouse was remembered with a star-studded tribute to the late singer.
It was Russell Brand who started the tribute for her when he shared his memories of Winehouse. "She was a genius," he said.
Tony Bennett, for his part, stressed on her contribution to jazz music.
"Our family is honored that the VMAs are giving Amy this wonderful tribute," her father, Mitch Winehouse, said in a statement.
Scheduled performers in the Awards night included Lady Gaga, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne and Pitbull.

Taylor Lautner Not Sure How to Top MTV Movie Award “Best Kiss” with Robert Pattinson

Taylor Lautner had a quick chat with MTV before the MTV Video Music Awards tonight. Taylor admitted that he was in fact kissed by Robert Pattinson at this year’s MTV Movie Awards when Rob and Kristen Stewart went up to accept the award for “Best Kiss”. Taylor went on to say that he had no idea how they can top this year’s stunt.

“Oh, I was definitely kissed by,” he clarified to MTV News during the VMAs’ black-carpet pre-show. “It was quite a shocker.”
So, can it be done? Who’s to say? He’s not one to prepare much for awards shows, as he let us know at the Teen Choice Awards a few weeks ago, saying, “It’s really hard to prepare, so it’s kind of like you just show up here, have fun.”
This time around, Lautner is on hand to present an award at the show a few weeks before his new thriller, “Abduction,” hits theaters. Perhaps some of his fellow presenters — like Nicki Minaj, Drake, Joe Jonas and Jared Leto — can assist in the making of a true Video Music Award moment.
For his part, though, Lautner isn’t making any promises. He’ll be proceeding into the Nokia Theatre with caution, his eyes peeled, his lips guarded.
On whether he could top the Movie Awards’ show-stopping moment, he said, “I honestly have no idea. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.”
