HecklerPlay: MTV Continue To Depress Music With The 2011 VMA Nominations

August 7th, 2012 By Matthew Laidlow

Back when we were just writing swear words on our parent?s walls in crayon, MTV did provide us with some light musical relief. Alongside the mundane pop dross, there were some gems to be found. The programme most likely to fill you with a mix of Scandanavian indie and wobbly acid grooves was 120 Minutes. Only problem was that it was broadcast in the early hours of Sunday morning.

So for the insomniacs, 120 Minutes was a mix of uncommercial sounds and experimental videos that wouldn't have been broadcast during the day. Just look at certain Sqaurepusher and Mogwai promos.

In an age where music is being broadcast to a wider audience via the internet, you'd expect MTV to do the same. But no, they instead decided to shun the show for moronic programming which, over time, has diluted the channel to such an extent that hardly any music videos are played. But this hasn't stopped the network from holding its annual VMA ceremony.

Lady GaGa Wins More Awards Than Anyone Else At MTV Video Music Awards And Announces New Album Title

September 13th, 2010 By Mof Gimmers

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.

Lady GaGa bags 13 MTV VMA Nominations

August 3rd, 2010 By Mof Gimmers

MTV has announced the nominees for the 2010 Video Music Awards and Lady Gaga leads the pack with 13 nominations, the most ever received by an artist in a single year in the history of the show. Record breaking! An additional 5 nominations for her collaboration on Beyonce’s ‘Video Phone’ has the unstoppable popper nommed two and even three times in several categories!

I bet some of you reading this are absolutely bewildered by this news, eh?

Well, sadly for those who don’t like her, she’s the closest thing we’ve got to an all conquering popstar so it is advised that you go and make some ‘she’s got a dick’ comments on some irony based forum you post on or something.

Britney Spears To Foul Up MTV VMAs After All!

March 25th, 2009 By Stuart Heritage

Make no mistake, Britney Spears is the MTV VMAs, whether she’s writhing with a snake, kissing Madonna with tongues or obliterating her entire career forever.

An MTV VMAs show without Britney Spears isn’t an MTV VMAs show – it’s just an excuse for Chris Brown to wobble around like his knickers are filled up with puffer fish. So imagine how thrilled we are to learn that Britney Spears will not only be appearing at this Sunday’s MTV VMAs, but actually opening them!

It’s wonderful news, and the perfect chance for Britney Spears to erase the painful memory of her stumbling around and failing to mime to her own song at last year’s show. Now she gets to replace that with a new memory of her having a giant panic attack onstage and ending up lying in the fetal position, rocking backwards and forwards, yanking fistfuls of hair out of her scalp and screaming abuse at a monster that only she can see.

We’re guessing.

Britney Spears Hooks up With Russell Brand. Oh, and an Elephant.

March 24th, 2009 By Ian Dransfield

What better way for Britney Spears to take a huge step towards getting everything back on track than to hook up with Russell Brand?

There are many, many better ways. Surely. Hooking up with that mad-haired berk isn’t going to help her claw back the piles and piles of sanity the girl seems to have lost over the last couple of years.

Let’s be totally honest – it’s going to damage her more than she already is, and that’s before she’s even spoken to the man who dresses like a particularly stupid pirate.

But hecklerspray didn’t get in fast enough with our warnings, leaving poor old crazy Britney Spears free to appear alongside Russell Brand in some MTV promotional adverts for the upcoming Video Music Awards.

It still isn’t confirmed if Britters herself will be in attendance at the awards as she hasn’t got permission off her dad yet, but hopefully the blow to her psyche that surely occurred when she met the TV and radio ‘funny’ man will have been too much, forcing her to stay at home on the night. The other option doesn’t even bear thinking about, frankly.

Kid Rock Gets Away With Lame MTV VMA Scuffle

March 31st, 2009 By Stuart Heritage

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.
