Internet Addict Russell Brand

Russell Brand, recovering internet addictAfter having beaten his polygamy tendencies, comedian Russell Brand is now recovering over his obsession with Googling himself.

The Get Him to The Greek actor, who admits he has an addictive personality and has previously beaten heroin addiction, said he eventually gave up typing his name into the internet, as he only saw negative things written about himself.

“It’s the most unrewarding, pointless activity, Googling yourself. I’m doing a lot better. It’s like picking a scab. I have gone a few weeks without looking at it and it divorces you from the slurry of casual vindictiveness.”

He also admitted he toned down his performance as host of this year’s MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs), after his appearance last year - during which he referred to then-US president George W. Bush as a “retarded cowboy fella” - caused such an uproar.

“Last year at the VMAs there were death threats, so obviously this year it was deliberately designed not to cause anyone any bother, but be funny and confident. There was a very deliberate removal of self-destruction. I didn’t take the risks I’ve taken in the past.”

Celebrity Double-Take: Pink vs. Shakira at the VMAs

Pink and Shakira at the VMAs

If it hadn’t been for Kanye West’s outburst (or any one of Lady Gaga’s outfits), this could have been the most talked about moment of last night’s Video Music Awards.

Had this involved two other singers, these dresses might have remained on opposite ends of the red carpet. But Shakira and took the fashion faux pas in stride and even managed to laugh about it. (Of course, there is a stylist out there somewhere doing all the crying.)

You can also see solo pics of the two outfits after the jump.

UPDATE: You can read Kanye’s newest apology here.

How is it possible that a 19-year-old girl has more maturity than a 32-year-old man?

Even though she would have been forgiven for any choice words she could use have used, Taylor Swift decided not to go there last night. When questioned by reporters about Kanye West’s rude behavior at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, the country singer simply opted to take the high road.

“I was standing onstage and I was really excited because I had just won an award and then I was really excited because Kanye West was on the stage,” Swift told E! News. “And then, um, I wasn’t so excited anymore after that.”

VMA Fashion: Who Hit a Sour Note?

MTV Award

Award season is long, fraught with gossip, and seemingly unending. Someone always walks away with a statue - some performers and artists walk away with several. But by the time the same awards are given out the next year, no one really cares who won what the year before.

What we do remember is what they were wearing when they were doing it. People may not remember which Grammy Jennifer Lopez won the year she wore the green Versace gown, but they remember the gown. This year’s may be remembered for several years - the pictures not of moon men statues, but of the clothes everyone wore.

Whose couture sang the sweetest…and whose fashion was completely discordant?

Madonna Back to Kissing Women

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Photos

I wonder if is experiencing any pangs of jealousy right now.

Madonna, concert kiss

Last night during a Paris concert, found a new lady to tease the audience with.  This kiss comes nearly five years after the singer’s much talked about smooches with the pop princess and Christina Aguilera.  (If you need a reminder of those moments, you can see them again after the jump.)

I guess it doesn’t matter if Madonna is 45 or pushing 50.  A racy publicity stunt works at any age for her.
