Coach Rush Propst is a Red Sox fan

The last time I even heard about Coach Rush Propst was when he was coaching the Hoover Bucs in Alabama, the team that was featured on the MTV show Two-a-Days. So imagine how f*cking shocked I was when I saw a guy that looked EXACTLY like him standing at a stop waiting for the train on the way to Fenway last night. I leaned over to my cousin and told him it looked like Coach Propst and he wasn't sure. Then when we heard him talk, we knew it was him -- not to mention you couldn't miss the huge f*cking bling he was wearing on his finger (one of SEVERAL state championships he won at Hoover.) I'm pretty sure he knew I recognized him too, because right when he got on the train (which was loaded, so we were pretty much on top of each other anyway), he started talking to me.

Gotta say...Coach Propst is the NICEST guy ever. Really friendly, didn't act like a celebrity or a pr*ck or like he was the sh*t or anything -- real down-to-earth, funny, nice guy. And he's a Sox fan to boot, which makes him the man.

Katy Perry hosting MTV Europe Music Awards

Katy Perry has been named the host for the MTV Europe Music Awards. Sounds kinda odd and random to me, but then again, she can't really do any worse than Russell Brand did.

By the way, $20 says she's kisses a girl on stage. And I bet she'll like it.

Taylor Swift pretty much admits she's boring

After saying that she thought there was too much sex at this year's VMA's (what a prude), Taylor Swift went on to say how she avoids the mischief that just about every other teenage celeb has gotten involved with.

I wouldn't be a party girl even if I wasn't doing this; that's just not the way I live my life. There are cameras and microscopes now, but honestly, I wouldn't be a party girl either way. That's just not how I am.

Yawn.

MTV to make a Rock Band reality show

MTV has decided to promote their new Rock Band 2 game with a Rock Band reality show. Groups of four can sign up to compete with other "bands" and try to be the final group standing and win the Ultimate Rock Band Experience. Hit up mtv.com for more info.

Paris Hilton loves purity rings...and MORE!!

Wendy Williams speaks out on why she didn't beat the crap out of Omarosa. (smack)

David Beckham is hot that even guys check out his junk in the bathroom! (candy)

Worst dressed at the VMA's! (ayyyy)

Paris Hilton sticks up for the JoBros without calling the rest of us sluts! (POTP)

Joel Madden loves him some cottage cheese thighs! (gabby)

Victoria Beckham looks like a boy. Ew. (bitten)

Ric Flair's daughter arrested! (wrestling)

Speaking of Jordin Sparks...

Here's the opening monologue that started all of the controversy between Russell Brand, the Jonas Brothers, and Jordin Sparks.



After hearing Jordin's rant (which you can see on Amanda's post below this), Russell "apologized" for his rant while introducing Lauren Conrad and Chace Crawford. Check it out below.



Okay, A LOT of people have to lighten up and are taking this WAY too far (no offense, Amanda). Seriously. He's a host and he's paid to be funny (granted he was a little weak). But I guarantee that if it was anyone else who he ripped on like that, it wouldn't be an issue. But because it's the Jonas Brothers and they're like the heads of a frickin' cult, it's a huge issue. LIGHTEN UP!

Christina Aguilera's VMA performance

If you couldn't tell, it's VMA review time. Christina Aguilera came back for her first performance since having her baby and looked smokin hot! She put a new spin on her first ever hit, Genie in a Bottle, and also performed one of her new songs, Keeps Getting Better. The new song is HOT, and I seriously think she could re-package Genie and make the new version a hit too!

Rihanna teams up with T.I. at VMAs!

The VMAs saw A LOT of random combos and collaborations, including Rihanna coming back after totally killing it with her hit Disturbia to open the show, and performing with T.I. for his jam Live Your Life. I loved these little collaborations and I think if MTV is smart, they'll do it again next year. Plus it seriously seemed like all the artists were having a blast. Check it out!

Rihanna's opening performance at the VMA's

This could be because I'm a sucker for the punk rock look, but I thought Rihanna was insanely hot last night, and her performance kicked mega ass to start off the show. Check out her performance of Disturbia (and a mixed-in beat from the White Stripes) below!

Winners at the VMA's last night

Here's the list of winners from last night's VMAs (I'm not including the boring behind-the-scenes ones that no one cares about. Hit up mtv.com if you really wanna know that badly.)

Akon shows that he will "Smack That"...and MORE!!!

Kany-izzle to close out the VM-izzles. (smack)

Ghostbusters making a return to the big screen...WITH THE ORIGINAL CAST! Holy AARP. (candy)

Jason Priestley, from Beverly Hills 90210 hunk to the homeless guy I passed on the street outside Fenway Park. (ayyyy)

Girls think Akon is hot. Akon smacks girls across the face to thank them. (POTP)

Lance Armstrong isn't a sex champion. No, seriously. He said it. (gabby)

Wow, I'm a little impressed. Lindsay Lohan blogs about politics, and makes sense. (bitten)

Joey Mercury heading back to WWE? (wrestling)

Britney to kick off the VMA's again!

Hit us Britney, one more time!! It's been confirmed that Britney Spears is going to kick off the Video Music Awards for the second consecutive year. You KNOW she's looking for some redemption after bombing last year, and to give the big f*ck you to all the non-believers.

I dunno, Santino. What do you think?

Are Paris's 15 minutes up?

The big talk about Paris (Hilton, not France....mmm french fries) is of course her new reality show on MTV where people compete to be her best friend.

Auditions were held in New York City the other day, and thousands upon thousands were expected to show up. So just how many people want to be the Heiress's new best friend?

A whopping 40 people showed up to auditions.

40 people? That's it?! Who wouldn't want to be this girl's best friend? She's lazy, she does nothing, she's rich, and her claim to fame is a sex tape where she lays around like a dead fish. OK Magazine reports:

But the scene outside Nikki Midtown earlier this week didn't exactly resemble
the thousands of hopefuls you'd see lined up for a shot of American
Idol or So You Think You Can Dance. Actually, it didn't even resemble a
half-price latte sale at your local Starbucks.

It must be the herpes.

Donald Trump wants Ashley Alexander Dupre for reality show!

Donald Trump is producing a new reality show for MTV. It is tentatively being called Lady or a Tramp. Classy.

The show will take a bunch of beer-swilling, hard-partying, rough-edge girls and send them to "boarding school" where they will learn to be little miss sweethearts.

And now he's trying to get stripper/dancer/escorter Ashley Dupre (yes, the one at the center of the whole Eliot Spitzer fiasco) to join the cast and be one of the 15 girls they attempt to make "civilized."

Sounds like a really bad episode of Maury to me. They just need that mean, shouting bootcamp director in fatigues and some runny-teary mascara and it's officially a Maury repeat.

Gnarls Barkley "Run" Video May Give You Seizures

MTV has decided to not run Gnarls Barkley's new music video for "Run" featuring Justin Timberlake dressed as a Michael Jackson 1980's poser.

Due to it's crazy strobe light action, the video failed the Harding Test -- guidelines established to prevent TV images from triggering epileptic seizures.

So what's the big deal??? Well duct tape yourself to something solid and see for yourself!



Besides the violent shaking, I really enjoyed that video viewing experience.
Now I gotta chew off all this duct tape.

Kanye Still Holding "I Don't Like You Anymore" Grudge Against MTV

Check out Kanye West's fiancee Alexis. Shoot. Not so bad for a guy with a gimp jaw.
That's a picture of the two hanging out at the US Weekly Hot Hollywood party the other night.

At said party - on the red carpet - MTV cameras tried to film while US Weekly did an interview with him. Kanye got pissed, swatted away the videoperson's camera, and said "sorry, it's not you - it's your boss." Kanye kept his hand on the MTV camera's lense for the rest of the interview.

Attaa boy, Kanye! I think it's silly to hold grudges... but since it's with MTV, bravo! It's a fun story and I can't wait to see how long you'll hold out on your ban, you egotistical douche. Go get 'em!

Leave Britney's Spray-On Abs Alloooooone!!!!

A backstage source is saying that Britney Spears was so nervous about her VMA performance that she used a "spray on ab-defining tan" before going out on stage. The spray is used to create the illusion of more tone.

2 things:

1) If she was that nervous about looking tone, why not put on a shirt.

2) Where the hell can I get a can or six of that stuff???

Britney Goes Through the Motions At the VMAs

Well the long awaited comeback happened. She got up there... and... flailed.
I was one of those people who - unlike Kanye West - was looking forward to Brit-Brit's comeback. And she just lipsynced hard. But I was sure it was because she was getting ready for some craaaazy Chris Angel shizz... but alas even Chris Angels magic couldn't stop Britney from looking thick from the side. Her face looked pretty dope, but she should have worn more than that! Definitely not fat... don't get me wrong... but not fit either.

Where the F was Chris Angel???

Overall she looked uncomfortable, moved as much as Mount Rushmore, and didn't do anything special -- so I give her comeback performance... a D.

Love the song... hated the shite performance.
