Title: vma music awards 2008
Description: LIVE SUNDAY SEPT 7, 2008 AT 9PM ET
source www.mtv.com THIS JUST IN! T.I., Rihanna, Pink and Paramore are set to perform at the VMAs. --> Music. Mayhem. Music. The MTV Video Music Awards always brings out the best and worst of your fave artists. This year marks the 25th annual VMAs, and we're doing it right, with A-list musicians, reality stars, record-breakers, trouble-makers, models and other beautiful people taking over Paramount Studios in Hollywood. It's definitely gonna be a night to remember. Or is that a night that will be hard to forget? Anyway, we imported comedian/actor/babe magnet Russell Brand all the way from London for the occasion. Did you see Forgetting Sarah Marshall ? The English guy? That's him. All our Brit friends say he's bloody insane, so, of course, we gave him the VMA gig. So, make sure you tune in September 7 at 9 p.m. ET SHARP when the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards kick off live from Paramount Studios in Hollywood. Better yet, tune in an hour earlier to check out the VMA red carpet pre-show at 8 p.m. ET. It's the hottest parade around, full of fashion bests, some questionable wardrobe choices and interviews you won't want to miss. The MTV Video Music Awards. Music. Mayhem. Music. For one night only.
Performers
Travis Barker You may know him from a little '90s band called Blink-182, but he's in the VMA house, with DJ AM, to keep the show moving.

Kid Rock He's the only dude we can think of who's been on the cover of 'Rolling Stone,' on trial for punching a strip club DJ and on the guest list at 'Larry King Live.' This September, Kid Rock will add another VMAs to his insane resumé while performing his latest hit, 'All Summer Long'.

Lil Wayne We've got the world's hardest working MC! Don't be surprised if he records a few guest verses for other attendees, lays out plans for the next four 'Carter' sets and launches at least one new product line while performing at the VMAs.

Lupe Fiasco What an honor to have that hometown boy from the rough streets of Chicago in the house, who was catapulted to fame by little more than natural talent and the people who believe in him! Yes we CAN, Lupe Fiasco!

Rihanna Rihanna loves you SO much that she's busting up her Barbados beach vacation with Chris Brown to perform live at the 2008 VMAs. What did you do to deserve such treatment? Well, for one thing, you helped put her 'Take A Bow' on the nominee list for Best Female Video.

Christopher Mintz-Plassen Like Stifler before him, Christopher Mintz-Plasse may as well just retire his cumbersome given name and accept the fact that all anybody's gonna call him, ever again, is McLovin.
