062309-taylor

Ever wonder how we pull off something as massive as the MuchMusic Video Awards? Well, airing tonight at 10 p.m. ET on Much is the MuchNews MMVA Behind the Scenes Special, where we give viewers an exclusive look at what goes into making the biggest show in Canada.

See exclusive backstage interviews with co-hosts the Jonas Brothers, Lady Gaga, Billy Talent, Kim Kardashian, Alexisonfire and yes, we even got Twilight hunk Taylor Lautner. We also follow MMVA winners the Midway State on the biggest night of their life, give two lucky Jo-Bros fans a special MMVA makeover, and visit with the VJs as they battle the rain for rehearsal time.

Plus, there is the fan frenzy, from the overwhelming response to the wristband line-up to the pandemonium that ensued when the brotherly co-hosts took the stage and Lady Gaga’s bra ignited.

So check out all of the drama, excitement and a few surprises tonight on Much at 10 p.m. ET.

And the Winners Are… (cue drum roll)

The bright lights have all been turned off, the celebs and their entourages have gone home, and the stage is being taken down as we speak. Tear! Goodbye, MMVAs 2009! I’ll miss you!

Some Evanescence News + MMVA Superbands!!!

3/4 of the Fallen, formerly known as Evanescence

3/4 of the Fallen, formerly known as Evanescence

Last night a good friend of mine told me that the half of Evanescence that Amy Lee kicked out of the group had recruited Idol contestant Carly Smithson formed their own band, The Fallen. “Pshaw!” I said. Like a total blockhead, I didn’t believe him until I saw this article today.

Anyway, this set off a disastrous train of thought. If this could happen to Evanescence (and Guns and Roses, Soundgarden, Blink-182, Rage Against the Machine, etc), IT COULD HAPPEN TO ANYONE.

Even (and maybe especially) the superstars playing at the MMVAs this weekend.

Intrigued? I promise it won’t end up like Velvet Revolver!

061709-wristband-contest

I’m trying very hard to contain my excitement here, so you’ll have to excuse me if I crack a little.

THE MMVAs ARE ONLY FOUR DAYS AWAAAY! Your favourite artists are probably at home right now, packing their suitcases (or in the case of Lady Gaga, her box of wigs) and getting ready to come join us on Sunday for the biggest thing since the best thing ever (cheese)!

And oh, did I mention we’ve got TWO more PAIRS of wristbands for ya?

Subterfuge: Alternate Reality Indie Nominations for the MMVAs

Monday, June 15th, 2009

I’ve got this friend, we’ll call him Tim, who sometimes talks about what he’d do if he took over the world. Mostly, I say “Tim, you sound like a crazy fascist!”. But on occasion, I wonder what I’d do if I ruled the world. After “House Full of Kittens”, I think the first thing I’d do would be to suggest my OWN nominations (and categories) for this year’s MMVAs. ‘Cause you know, there’s a lot of good stuff that didn’t make it up there.

If you think I’m wrong about these picks, why don’t you try and correct me? Huh, punk? I DARE YOU!
