VMA LIVEBLOG: Spears And Loathing In Las Vegas

I woke up this morning at dawn, filled with a joyful anticipation reminiscent of Christmas morning and the moments prior to losing my virginity, for I knew that the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards - the single most important televised event of the night that isn't Curb Your Enthusiasm - would be ridin' and shinin' its way into my living room in only a few short hours. And now, at 8pm Eastern Times, the "Pre-Show Royale" is upon me, and I'm literally moments away from the shock and awe of Britney Spears' first attempt in years at performing something other than insanity. I've got a glass full of Bourbon, a big bag of Hot Wings & Blue Cheese Flavored "Dorito Collisions", and a masochistic need for some hot pop culture torture. Let's do this! 8:02 - Since when did Pete Wentz, the bassist, become the spokesman for Fall Out Boy. He's telling us about his uberhip moonlighting gig as a "DJ". When he wants to make the club "go off" he either plays Justin Timberlake or Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'". And there you have it: Journey is THE bangin' club band of the summer.
