So, the arbitrary picking of winners for the things they’ve done at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles has been and gone. Taylor Swift and Kanye West sang about, well, Kanye West at the show and we can only assume that cocaine dealers and the providers of toilet cisterns had a wonderful time of it at the glittering bash.
However, the night well and truly belonged to Lady GaGa who scooped more awards than anyone else. She also accepted some awards while dressed as the off-cuttings on a butcher’s slab.
More importantly (for fans at least), is the news of GaGa’s new album title which she announced while accepting an award, which saw her bursting into song and presumably thrilling her gay followers with her knowing campery. God knows we all need some campness in our dreary lives now and again.
The singer made the announcement at VMAs in LA last night (September 12th) when she collected her award for Video Of The Year. If you’re wondering, it was for ?Bad Romance?.
Lady Gaga said:
“I promised that if I won this, I would announce the name of my new album. It’s called ?Born This Way?.”
She then broke into a melodramatic number and sang:
“I am beautiful in my way / Because God makes no mistakes / I’m on the right track / Baby I was born this way.”
That sounds like it’s going to be a surefire hit with the gay clubs doesn’t it? It’s got just the right dose of tragic defiance that the camp community love so dearly and GaGa is always willing to provide it.
Anyway, GaGa bagged seven awards and, should you be interested, here are all the winners in one big list:

I also liked this article that informed on the winners of the awards. Since I do not know who was actually nominated (was that announced before each winner) or who votes (the industry people?) I really can’t pass anymore judgement on these going ons.
