Is it just us or have we seen an MTV show that's a carbon copy of two other MTV shows? You know, the ones where groups of people come together and do stupid stunts and inflict pain on each other?

MTV was the first mainstream broadcaster to base a TV show around grown men acting like idiots and causing havoc. People were probably doing it long before Jackass came along, but nonetheless it was a cult show and inspired thousands of youngsters to set themselves on fire and dress up as monkeys. Once the format became stale, how could they resell it to us? Easy, create a UK version where we got to see lots of naked men stapling their cocks to bits of wood and eating their own vomit. Sadly, Dirty Sanchez is running out of steam, so what did the geniuses at MTV UK do? Launch the exact same show, but with an all star female cast - Rad Girls. Who says TV is dumbing down? 

Like most female divas, Amy Winehouse likes her dressing room just so - but instead of demanding it to be painted white with a bucket of room temperature Evian on hand, Amy prefers everything to be covered with spaghetti bolognese.

That seemed to be the case at the MTV Europe Video Awards last week in any case. It's been revealed that Amy Winehouse caused thousands of pounds' worth of damage to her dressing room by flinging spaghetti around, throwing tables and chairs against the walls and shredding her rug into tiny pieces. Amy Winehouse shocked onlookers at the EMAs by engaging in her terrifying five-minute kicking and screaming outburst, but on reflection that's probably just because it's the closest thing that Winehouse has actually got to a decent tune for the last few months. 

Trouble is Kid Rock's middle name. Actually it isn't - it's probably Jeb or Enos or Clawfoot or something - but that doesn't matter because Trouble is also Kid Rock's best friend, wife, vicar and Meals On Wheels delivery operative.

Kid Rock is addicted to trouble, and it doesn't matter if it's the sort of trouble that involves physical violence or the sort of trouble that involves making dreadful redneck heavy metal that sounds like it should exclusively soundtrack cross-eyed, chipped-tooth monster truck rallies. But sometimes Kid Rock's penchant for trouble gets him into, um, trouble - like when Kid Rock decided to use the live, globally-televised MTV VMA awards this year to start a fight with Tommy Lee. However, despite everyone in the world seeing Kid Rock and Tommy Lee slapping each other like babies during the awards, police have announced that Kid Rock won't be charged for the brawl, mainly because they need all their MTV VMA manpower to try and pin a charge of Miming With Intent To Appal on Britney Spears.
