Cher is one of the original MTV divas
Speaking of divas, they’ll be out in force tonight. It’s the annual MTV Video Music Awards, which are being held in Brooklyn, NewYork.
I flew from La-la Land to NY last night and I’m flying back tomorrow night to cover it, so expect to see my groggy face on yourTV screens.
I’m looking forward to seeing this year’s big talking point. There’s always some sort of diva drama at these awards.
In 2009, Taylor Swift was famously interrupted by KanyeWest when he stormed the stage, grabbed the mic and said Beyonce should have won.
Lady Gaga never fails to create headlines — she once turned up in a dress entirely made from meat.
Last week she posted an exercise video online where she appeared completely nude. Gaga will be here tonight too, so goodness knows what she has planned.
The most famous moment in VMA history was down to two other divas.
Queen of Pop Madonna snogged young pretender Britney Spears on stage — which made headlines around the world. Can you believe that was 10 years ago?
Britney’s now the ripe old age of 31 — it’s more than 15 years since she first appeared in the charts.
That was brought home last week while I was at an Ed Sheeran concert.
He was supporting Taylor Swift — the pop star he’s rumoured to be dating — in Los Angeles last week.
I met Ed before his gig in a bar on Sunset Boulevard and he kindly invited me along. If you get a chance to see him live, take it — he’s fantastic.
What’s more, he seems a very friendly, down-to-earth type.
Anyway, he covered Britney Spears’s single Baby One More Time .
There was a wee girl standing near me who seemed to enjoy it so I asked if she was a fan of the song. She’d never heard of the song or Britney Spears! That makes me feel old.
I do have an exclusive for you, though. Britney’s ex, Justin Timberlake, is expected to take part in a reunion of ’90s boyband ’N Sync.
Nothing has been confirmed yet, but I texted ’N Sync member Lance Bass last week to ask him if he was going to be appearing at the VMA’s with Justin and the rest of the boys.
He sent back a smiley face, so I bet the band are going to be there.
Don’t say I’m not good to you!
