Tonight’s the big night… the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards are upon us!
92.3NOW.com’s Joey & Ed were watching, just like you, and live blogging the event right here. Find out what happened on the show NOW!
8:00
Joey: God I love Jersey Shore…
The pre-show is about to start. Really looking forward to [lastfm]Nicki Minaj[/lastfm]‘s performance. Not looking forward to this whole “Barbie” movement of hers…
8:10
Joey: “White carpet” action has started. Nothing to see just yet. [lastfm]Paramore[/lastfm]‘s [lastfm]Hayley Williams[/lastfm] looked hot.
8:15
Joey: [lastfm]Jay Sean[/lastfm]… some blonde chick… [lastfm]Sean Kingston[/lastfm] in a white jacket. Labor day, what?
8:20
Joey: Snooki looks like an oompaloompa that was crushed by a giant pile of failure.
Ed: I would say she looks a bit like an overdressed version of Garfield.
8:23
Joey: 30 Seconds to Jared Leto… Apparently these guys showed up at MTV last week on big dumb bicycles.
8:26
Joey: OMG! [lastfm]Justin Bieber[/lastfm] & [lastfm]Usher[/lastfm]! Justin says he’s been playing drums since he’s two-years-old. Whatever, Braggy McGee.

Ed: Am I the only one a little disturbed by [lastfm]Will.i.am[/lastfm]‘s outfit?
8:51
Ed: New MTV VJ Gabby doesn’t look nervous at all (SARCASM!).
Joey: [lastfm]Ke$ha[/lastfm]‘s wearing a garbage bag. Perfect. Dirty girl…
Kanye‘s video tease for “Runaway” was dope…
