concerts_shakira.jpgMTV announced today that both Shakira and the band OK Go have just been added to the list of performers at the Video Music Awards. They join an already long list slated to perform that night, including Panic! At the Disco, T.I., The Killers, Ludacris w/Pharrell, The All-American Rejects and The Raconteurs. Jack Black will host the night’s festivities, and among the list of presenters are the names Axl Rose, Lindsay Lohan, Kanye West, Paris Hilton, Diddy, LL Cool J, Snoop Dogg, Pussycat Dolls and 50 Cent. And that barely even names a few.

okgo.jpgOK Go, from Chicago, plans to perform a live version of their internet hit “Here It Goes Again” at the show which airs August 31st at 8pm ET. The band posted the video for the song, which showcases their unusual (and hilarious!) treadmill dancing abilities, on YouTube.com and have been steadily entertaining viewers ever since. The VMA’s will be their first live performance of the song.

Well I haven’t heard anything about whether OK Go will attempt the treadmills live at the awards or go for something more traditional (and safer), but that video is a total hoot! I love it when people look like they’re having a good time, and I can’t imagine they got through that shoot without at least a few good laughs.

P.S. And someone needs kudos for choreography!

Spelling to get a tribute

Aaron Spelling

Aaron Spelling is going to get a tribute at this year’s Emmy Awards. This will be the first Aaron Spelling nod at the Emmys since 1994, when he won an award for the TV movie “And the Band Played On.” Previous to that, he had nods for “Dynasty,” “Family” and “The Mod Squad.”

But this means he never got an Emmy for “Saved by the Bell.” Or “7th Heaven.” Or “Charmed.” Or “Beverly Hills 90210.” Or even “T.J. Hooker.” In some ways, that’s strange to people of my generation considering that all those shows, “T.J. Hooker” aside, were some kind of staple of our childhood and adolescence.

But hey, I’ll be happy if the tribute includes scenes from the episode of “Saved by the Bell” where Jessie gets hooked on diet pills, or at least the one where Zach, Screech and Slater find a joint in the restroom.

(insert Tori Spelling joke here)

CREDIT: JEFF MOORE / MAXPPP / LANDOVIt appears that relationship troubles have surfaced between Kate Moss and her boyfriend, Pete Doherty. The culprit? Drugs — and lots of them.

According to PEOPLE magazine, Doherty has battled drug addiction for many years, landing in and out of jail several times throughout his life. Meanwhile, Moss has had her fair share of problems, entering rehab last fall after pictures of her allegedly snorting cocaine surfaced in London tabloids.

The famously on-again, off-again couple has been seen in recent months as definitely “on-again,” kissing and canoodling all over England. However, the evening of August 17th led to Doherty being thrown in jail, due to drug related charges. On September 4th, his sentencing will determine whether he gets a prison sentence.
