The blogosphere is still buzzing about Miley Cyrus’ risqué performance at MTV's Video Music Awards, with some people taking a step back to ask a very basic question: why is MTV honoring videos, since it so rarely plays them anymore?

The highlight of last night's VMAS, MTV's annual reminder that they're still tangentially related to the music industry, was easily the multiple shots of stars reacting to Miley Cyrus' super awkward performance. Oh, also 'N Sync reunited or something and provided an answer to "what does Chris Kirkpatrick look like these days"?

Lady Gaga commandeered NYC and the 'Good Morning America' studio this morning (Aug. 19), arriving in a vintage black convertible Cadillac. Her hair was short and swept back in a Princess Diana style; her outfit consisted of a white, two-piece bodice paired with sky high brown booties.

Clearly hoping to cash in on the hype surrounding TLC's 'Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,' MTV has given its 'Jersey Shore' time-slot to a new show about a bunch of rowdy, under-educated backwoods teenagers from West Virginia. Watch the promo right here!

All the stars came out to play last night at the MTV VMA’S!

I was too young to remember the moon landing in 1969, but I do remember the looks on my grandparents and parents faces when they spoke about it.  There was promise and elation and wonder in their words even decades later.  Sadly, the man who first stepped foot on the moon that special day, has passed away.

I don't know if Birthday Boy Eddie Money's name is really Eddie Money, but I don't really care!  He is behind one of my favorite bad girl songs of all time!

Remember the days when MTV actually played videos?

Most reality show participants have to sign extensive waivers and agree to terms not seen since the days of indentured servitude. Recently, the Village Voice got its hands on the 30-page contract required of the people appearing on MTV‘s long-running ‘Real World’ series and, as expected, it’s positively draconian. The extreme stipulations are probably no different than those of other reality shows

Thirty years ago today, video killed the radio star and MTV was born. The all-music video channel showed only music videos guided along by V-J's. The first video was The Buggles' "Video Killed the Radio Star."

As you know one of the big movies this summer is the all new movie  Pirates of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides starring Johnny Depp!

"Video Killed The Radio Star" by The Buggles was the very first video shown on MTV when it debuted at exactly 12:01 a.m. on August 1st, 1981!!
