I think Robin Thick was wishing she was elsewhere.
Look at the faces of the Smiths
LIKE OMG .......TO...Not looking at that !!!!
The VMAs, long known for its rude language and surprises,
lived up to its crying-for-attention legacy with Cyrus’
performance. Lewdly thrusting out her tongue and nastily
stroking her crotch, this one-time teen star worked hard
to bag the sleaze award of the night.
To cement the title, she stripped down to a flesh-colored
bikini during a duet with Thicke on his smash hit “Blurred
Lines.”
“Miley better get a damn pregnancy test after doing all that
grinding,” quipped comic Kevin Hart.
But then there is JT stealing the Show ..Awesome
Justin Timberlake performs onstage before being joined by
his *NSYNC bandmates.
Justin Timberlake, who tied for the most nominations of the night with Macklemore and Lewis, took the top Video of the Year prize for “Mirrors.”
He also received the coveted Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, a body-of-work prize bestowed upon him by his periodic comedy partner, Jimmy Fallon.
“This is the ‘you got old’ award,” Timberlake joked backstage.
A more earnest appearance came from the hit hip-hop duo
“Same Love,” whose lyrics endorse equal marriage rights.
The performance was introduced by Jason Collins, the
basketball player who recently came out as gay, and
featured a guest vocal from Jennifer Hudson.
The clip won Best Video with a Social Message. “Out of
every single song that I have ever written, to me, this is the
most important,” said Macklemore, who is straight.
“Gay rights are equal rights. There is no separation.”
One surprise of the night: The girl-group Dannity Kane —
who’d been formed by P. Diddy — announced their reunion,
while taking a slight dig at their mentor. “We’re on our own
terms this time,” one member said.
The electro duo Daft Punk, who hadn’t been set to appear,
also made a surprise appearance, joining with club legend
Nile Rodgers to give out the Female Video of the Year
Award to Taylor Swift for “I Knew You Were Trouble.”
LADY GAGA kicks off Festivities at the VMAs.
Lady Gaga arrives at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards red
carpet outside the Barclays Center on Sunday night.
Onstage, he performed a medley of his solo hits, from “Cry Me a River” to the new “Take Back the Night.” Then, he revealed the worst kept secret of the week — that he would reunite with his ’90s boy band ’N Sync. The fivesome, which hasn’t offered a major public performance in a decade, put in a fleeting performance of old hits like “Bye Bye Bye.”
Thirty Seconds From Mars took the Best Rock Video prize for “Up in the Air.” They beat out Fall Out Boy, Mumford & Sons, Imagine Dragons and Brooklyn faves Vampire Weekend.
Pink and Fun singer Nate Ruess won the Best Collaboration clip for their joint video, “Just Give Me a Reason.” It was an upset considering the stiff competition from Timberlake and Jay Z (“Suit & Tie”), not to mention Thicke’s much favored clip with T.I. and Pharrell, “Blurred Lines.”
Teen idol Selena Gomez got the Best Pop Video prize for “Come and Get It,” beating out stars as mighty as Timberlake and Mars.
Timberlake made up for that minor loss with added triumphs in the categories of Best Direction for “Suit & Tie” and Best Editing for “Mirrors.” Macklemore and Lewis also took the prizes for Best Hip-Hop Video and Best Cinematography for “Can’t Hold Us.”
The staging of the show at Barclays didn’t fail to impress, including a 60-foot blowup of the iconic Moonman prize. It was redesigned this year in a one-time only edition by the Brooklyn artist KAWS. With X’s on its eyes, and larger than usual ears, it looked like a gigantic, drunk Mickey Mouse.
This year’s show didn’t feature a host. The awards featured a new category this year, Song of the Summer, voted on by fans, via social media, during the show.
One Direction’s “Best Song Ever” took it, winning over more favored hits like “Blurred Lines” and “Get Lucky.” The boy band’s triumph inspired massive boos from the crowd at Barclays. It doesn’t get more Brooklyn than that.

The phenomenon is relatively harmless but does signal a collision at the intersection of smartphone addiction and sleep deprivation. Experts have noted before the many ways in which technology intrudes on healthy, restorative sleep, and how looking at a flickering screen near bedtime excites the brain at a time when stimuli should be at a minimum.
