KPOP MANIAC

Katy Perry has described the dresses Lady GaGa wore to 2010 MTV Video Music Awards as "over-the-top", but she doesn't mean it in a bad way. When giving comments to the "Bad Romance" hitmaker's looks throughout the awards show, the "California Gurls" singer has nothing but praises and revealed she particularly likes the Alexander McQueen dress.

"I think her outfits are very Lady GaGa. It's like so over-the-top," the 25-year-old first gushed. She went on told MTV News, "I thought the Alexander McQueen outfit was stunning. I was like, 'Oh my god!' I love all that kind of symbolism that she had on her dress, and she made a statement with all the people next to her. I like the statement she made."

Katy also praises GaGa for making shocking designs work. "I think costumes are just a natural extension," she explained. "I don't think you can just have the costumes and not have anything else. The costumes are the bells and whistles and bells and whistles can be really fun, but you have to have the spine, and I think that with GaGa, she's got the spine and she's got the costume. So, it can coexist."

Lady GaGa has got people talking when attending this year's VMAs, particularly when she wore a raw meat dress from Franc Fernandez. Later on, she told Ellen DeGeneres that the bizarre outfit is a sign of protest against the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy, and she means "no disrespect to anyone that's vegan or vegetarian".

"As you know, I am the most judgment-free human being on the earth," the recipient of eight Moonmen further explained. It has many interpretations, but for me this evening, it's 'If we don't stand up for what we believe in, we don't fight for our rights, pretty soon we're gonna have as much rights as the meat on our bones.'

This past Sunday, MTV brought the Video Music Awards [VMAs] back to the west coast for a live, star-studded show in Los Angeles.

The awards raked in a total of 11.4 million viewers, making it the most watched cable telecast for the network in 2010.

These were the best ratings for any MTV telecast since the 2002 VMAs.

The opening skit featured Lindsay Lohan with Handler who was “preparing for the show.”

In the skit, the freshly out-of-rehab Lohan made fun of her history of drugs and alcohol.

The show opened with a highly anticipated performance by rapper, Eminem who’s had a comeback year with singles “Not Afraid” and “Love The Way You Lie,” both which he performed Sunday night. “Love The Way You Lie” ended with a surprise appearance from Rihanna.

Eminem walked away with two Moonmen awards for Best Male Video and Best Hip Hop Video.

R&B superstar, Usher, performed a medley of his 2010 hit singles “DJ Got Us Fallen In Love” and “OMG” proving he can sing and dance as if he were still twenty one; certainly setting the bar high for the rest of the evening’s performers.

Aside from the comeback musical performances, other artists who performed Sunday night included Justin Beiber, B.o.B. and Drake. Kayne West closed the show with his song, “Runaway.”
Taylor Swift performed and went uninterrupted this year.

Her song, “Innocent” referenced her accepting of Kanye West’s apology from the 2009 VMAs.
“I never thought I’d be asking Cher to hold my meat purse,” said Lady Gaga while accepting her award for Video of the Year for Bad Romance.

The pop star took home eight out of the 11 Moonmen she was nominated for.

While accepting her Video of the Year award, she announced the title of her new album, Born This Way.

As usual, Gaga made made a statement with her outrageous attire, mostly designs by the late Alexander McQueen.

The meat purse holder, Cher, presented the Video of the Year award to Gaga.

Cher cheered on the winner via twitter on Sunday, tweeting “ Loved doing VMAs! Lady Gaga rocked it!”

Although this years’ VMAs weren’t as drama filled as last years’, they’re were still memorable moments with Handler as host, the musical performances and the come back appearances.

The VMAs have marked their place in pop culture as the number one source for an unforgettable night.
