Pop singer Lady Gaga is on her way to becoming a legend with 13 nominations and 8 wins on Sunday night at the 2010 MTV VMAs.
Eminem and Rhianna juiced up the opening act, Drake, Swizz and Mary performed a formal version of “Fancy,” while will.I.am caused quite a stir while performing with Nick Minaj in ‘black face.’
Apparently the voters went coo-coo for Gaga. Lady Gaga and her angus attire won big, taking home eight moon men, while Eminem copped two and, as expected, pop heartthrob Justin Bieber won ‘Best New Artist.’
