Pre-VMAs. Party time.

Ke$ha performing at MTV's pre-VMA party.
Ladies and Gentlemen...

The moment is upon us. That wonderful amazing time of the year. September leaves are falling, and drunk starlets are falling out of clubs. Its the MTV Video Music Awards!!!

This is like fucking Christmas for the gays!

Last year, we got everything we ever wanted. All things were checked off our list (even without an appearance by Britney). It was a roller coaster of a ride. It was gut wrenching. It was politics. It was tear jerking. It was cringe-worthy. It was disgusting dirty filthy pop culture.

So this season, MTV has moved the festivities from NYC to LA. Last year, I was in NYC during the VMAs, so I like to think they moved them for me. Basically, its party time this weekend. And party we did.

Me and the roomies went out for an insane Saturday night.

First up, MTV's fundraiser bash, sponsored by LifeBeat Aids Foundation. The Victorious Secrets, Ke$ha and B.o.B. were performing. There was an open bar (yeah, I know! Me too!). It was a mess, and all for a good cause. Dinner was served upstairs, and then we were moved into the main area to take in the shit show of performances. I, naturally, gravitated toward the front. (The pictures above was taken by my phone... without a zoom). And then I began drinking.

The Victorious Secrets, yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever. Anyway...

KE$HA! This bitch. I can't... I can't even handle her. If you get a chance to run off to one of her shows, do it. Drink, dance and party with the best of them. She's a riot and a half. She has a sense of humor and blind self-abandonment to her performance style. She plays almost all instruments on stage, and her energy is undeniably rock and roll. She's got glitter falling out of every pour of her body and a ridiculous sense of style. I loved it, for the second time. She played a few more songs this go around from when she opened for Rihanna, and I enjoyed every minute of her wild presence.

B.o.B. was up next, giving an energetic passion filled set of his HUGE hits. I did gravitate toward the back at this point, to be the first to leave (which I did before B.o.B. was actually finished) so I could get to my next event.

N.E.R.D. performing at Perez Hilton's party
Across town at Los Angeles' famous Wiltern Theater, Perez Hilton was hosting his "One Night in: Los Angeles VMA event." The line-up included Florence + the Machine, Taio Cruz, Pitbull, Kevin Rudolf and N.E.R.D. I missed Forence's set and the first half of Taio Cruz, but what I did see from everyone at this event was wonderful. N.E.R.D. completely surpassed my expectations for the night and blew the crowd away with a energy filled set.

Snooki was seen hanging in the wings, and Lolene was spotted sippin' on vodka sodas (or water!) in the VIP area. All in all, a star packed night.

Perez was a gracious host, and gave us all what we wanted. A huge party and a lot of GREAT music. The VMAs should be quite the show this year, and I can't wait to see what they have in store for us. Chelsea Handler is an epic comic to have at the helm of anything, and Lady Gaga's hush hush attitude toward the whole thing makes me think she has something huge in store of us.

Tune in tonight at 9pm local time on MTV for all the fun!
