Seriously, I never thought something once remarkable such as the Video Music Awards could become so blatantly weak. Starting up from the beginning, the red carpet was nothing too special but like always it got you tuned waiting for something big on the VMA’s itself. The disappointment started with the guy who was doing the red carpet interviews when he was saying “oh, my God, Britney’s doing the opening scene!! Is she going to sing? Is she going to dance? What is she going to do?!” (all that coming like the faith of the earth depends on what Britney does).

Then Britney comes on stage and makes a very short, very plain brief announcement about VMA celebrating their 25th anniversary. No kissing another female? No Jannet-style nip slips or anything else shocking? How can they actually include the word “mayhem” in the VMA ads? I’ve seen bigger “mayhem” in the Disney channel games! She could’ve at least let Jonah Hill from Superbad kiss her, so the VMAs could get at least a little close to being shocking. When later Russel Brand announced that neither Britney or Mariah Carey have ever won on the VMA got me thinking that it’s time for a consolidation - and yes, Britney got it (along with two more Moonmen). While the number of awards she has won is debatable; we may have to accept the decision as only fair, seeing she’s been for so long in the music industry without getting anything from the VMA’s.

Speaking of Russel Brand, before the show I was hoping that his potty mouth and witty jokes might mean we’re in for a great entertainment, but it wasn’t to be. Him mocking the Jonas Brothers and the political talk was something I was far from impressed about. I don’t think he was given as much creative freedom as did Sarah Silverman’s hosting of the 2007 Movie Awards; seeing how limited his performance was. In fact, I think that it was Sarah Silverman’s anchoring of the 2007 awards that made the MTV so cautious about having people like her and Brand on the show. If they didn’t want to let him say whatever he wants, why get him as a host anyway? Sarah Silverman is mayhem, a censored Russel Brand is not.

Something I really got hyped about was Miley presenting an award and eventually winning one. First came the disappointment with her presenting - the announcer said something about Bon Jovi’s “Living On A Prayer” and that got me excited that she might actually sing it. Like the rest of the announcements, it was just an innuendo - Miley was backstage playing “Rockstar” and singing to that song. As every other appearance by celebs, it wasn’t anything special except for the fact they made her look like an already spoiled star. What followed, though, was a trully amazing Pink who made a great performance and also showed everyone how hot she still is.

The biggest disappointment was the Best New Artist award. The possible nominees were - Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Jordin Sparks and Tokio Hotel. Anyone amongst the first four would’ve been a great choice, all have shown amazing progress in the last year. But Tokio Hotel? The manager-told-them-to-be-emo band is only new to the US where they had a late forced entry onto the market this year. Their highlight was a 39th spot on the billboard 200, not exactly the stuff dreams are made of. In comparison Miley Cyrus scored three number one albums within two years and she doesn’t win. It’s ridiculous that an award like Best New Artist goes to a band like Tokio Hotel. It seems that the emo kids have way more time on their hands than the legions of Miley fans. Thumbs up for Miley’s fans, because this shows that they actually have a life outside the Internet - I’m proud of you!

After a week of technical difficulties with very few updates to Starletviews.com, we can add another site to our family; Mileyforum.com (you have to wonder why that domain was still available). Yes, the first celebrity specific website and it’s about Miley Cyrus; just to re-assure the readers we have I need to say that we won’t be changing this into a Miley only site.

There is a gap in the world of celebrity forums, basically the same gap we want to serve with starletviews.com. Forums are either dedicated to completely loving a celebrity and others are just there to hate on them; there has to be a middle way. That’s why we’re introducing Mileyforum.com a forum where there can be normal debate about Miley without people attacking each other for having an opinion (that’s the idea anyway, time will tell if we can make that happen).

We also want members to become involved with the forum to a deeper level, we actually intend to do what are members want as long as it’s possible. We still make the final decisions of course but that’s just how the world works.

This is just the first one though, the future might hold more forums of its kind for other celebrities. Miley Cyrus is just a logical place to start seeing she is the biggest celebrity featured on starletviews.com right now. If the project is successful others might follow.

So take a look at Mileyforum.com and tell us what you think and if you like join in the discussion.

Just note that this is a brand new forum; it will take time for it to be really active.

And don’t worry, Starletviews.com won’t suffer. As long as technology doesn’t abandon us again.

It’s sad that I even have to write this but some lowlifes were spreading the news that Miley Cyrus died in a car crash. This story is NOT TRUE. Bad thing that people were actually believing it. A tiny detail just is that she appeared live on TV in the Stand Up to Cancer benefit. If you plan a hoax at least try, they can fake all the articles they want but if Miley actually appears live on TV hours later it’s not exactly convincing. Not to mention that it’s something you don’t joke about, in fact it just doesn’t qualify as a joke. I’m really starting to wonder what Miley has ever done to deserve hatred like this from people.

The official numbers aren’t in yet now that I’m writing this so the expected numbers will have to do. The official numbers will be supplemented at a later date.

Miley Cyrus has dropped another spot in the Billboard charts it seems, selling about 63,000 copies of Breakout which is a bigger drop than I would have expected but still not too bad. The number one this week took a much harder fall; the Jonas Brothers still are in first spot but with no major releases last week that isn’t a surprise. Their massive 70% sales drop to about 153,000 sold copies is however. Guess there might have been some truth to some fans buying multiple copies, they wouldn’t buy a copy every week.

Camp Rock featuring Demi Lovato is also still in the top ten at number nine with about 50,000 copies sold. It’s quite a common thing for Disney soundtracks to show stable numbers of a longer period of time.
