Lady GaGa/Kanye West Tour Canceled

It was to be the biggest tour of 2009, but for some reason unbeknownst to ANYONE, the Kanye West/Lady GaGa “Fame Kills” tour has been called off!

Concert promoters Live Nation have just confirmed the sad news.

Think this has something to do with the ridiculous stint West pulled at last month’s VMAs?

Was his damage that irreversible??

Lady GaGa, Pink Nail VMA Performances

It wasn’t easy to concentrate on the groundbreaking performances at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards Sunday night. We found ourselves either celebrating the life of Michael Jackson or wanting to beat the daylights out of Kanye West.

But, let’s get back to the music, shall we?

In case you missed it, here are Poison Ivy’s top two performances of the evening: a manic, blood-infused version of “Paparazzi” by Lady Gaga, and an acrobatic, nail-biting rendition of “Sober” by Pink.

Enjoy!

Janet Jackson, Madonna Celebrate Michael Jackson at VMAs

The 2009 MTV Video Music Awards began with a bang: a very poignant bang that included a monologue by Madonna about the legacy of Michael Jackson.

“Michael Jackson was a human being, but he was a king,” Madonna said, during her closing lines. “Long live the king.”

Those sentiments were echoed throughout the night, and specifically a few minutes later, when sister Janet Jackson emerged with her own dance crew for a high-energy performance of “Scream” that synced with the music video of MJ dancing behind her.

The night also ended with Jackson in mind, as MTV left us with a two-minute preview for his “This is It” concert film, composed of footage from the tour that never happened.

Be sure to check it out if you missed it, above.

Extended New Moon Trailer Debuts at VMAs

Video: Kanye West Bum-Rushes Taylor Swift’s Acceptance Speech

This will arguably be the most talked about moment from the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, and possibly VMAs history!!

Click above to watch Kanye West‘s inappropriate stage rush during Taylor Swift‘s acceptance speech for Best Female Video for “You Belong With Me.”

“Taylor, I’m really happy for you, and I’m gonna let you finish,” West began, “but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time.” West was of course referring to the video for “Single Ladies,” which later won highest honors for Video of the Year.

But West wouldn’t know that, because homeboy got kicked out!!!

Beyonce appeared horrified as the camera panned to her after West’s outburst, and she later called Swift onstage during her Video of the Year acceptance to give her the moment she deserved.

“I remember being 17-years-old, up for my first MTV award with Destiny’s Child and it was one of the most exciting moments of my life,” Beyonce said. “So I would like for Taylor to come out and have her moment.”

New Britney Wax Figure

What’s with all the wax figures these days???

A freakishly accurate wax figurine of Britney Spears holding an MTV Award was unveiled Monday at Madame Tussauds in London. 

The 2008 MTV Video Music Awards, which aired in September, was significant because it cemented Spears’ comeback into the music biz. She made her first public appearance in months and took home three VMAs!

Not a bad night!
