Is here, from TMZ.com's The Johnny Lopez: "Rock and Roll is officially
dead when a spoiled brat from "My Super Sweet
16" would seem less out
of place on the MTV red carpet than a band like Slipknot. <...> The
last time the VMAs were even remotely fun was back in 2003 with the
Britney/Madonna/Xtina kiss thing, then came the Miami and Vegas debacle
years. RIP. Last year’s highlight – if you can call it that – was the
world’s first live public crucifixion. So it’s only fitting that last
night’s theme appeared to be redemption – at least as far as Britney
and her armies of stylists and pharamacists are concerned. That being
said, how can the show have any real clout when in reality, MTV’s best
new artist is not a musical act – it’s Heidi and Spencer?"
