Congratulations to FRESH 105.9 artists “Kings of Leon,” for scoring a nomination in MTV’ Video Music Awards‘ Best Rock Video Category. However, they’re up to some pretty stiff competition.
Bassist Jared Followill tells MTV.com, quote, “Coldplay? Green Day? So basically what you’re telling us is that we’ll come in last place. I swear to God, I think we might come in last place, or maybe second to last.” Regardless of the results, Followill feels the band have already won by just getting recognition for one of their clips. “We’re always so self-conscious about our videos. They’re the hardest thing in the world to make, especially nowadays. They’ve been around forever, and everything’s been done. So it’s really, really hard to keep your videos cool. We feel like every video we’ve ever done is really stupid. So the fact that we’re up for an award for a video is kind Of cool,” said Followill.
Will Kings Of Leon pull the upset? Find out when the MTV Video Music Awards airs on MTV September 13th.

So was it Miley Cyrus or Hannah Montana pole dancing on Monday Night’s “Teen Choice Awards.” Either way, it’s uber-creepy!
Miley, wearing a tank top, boots and short shorts, performed her new single “Party in the U.S.A.” while dancing on what resembled a stripper pole. Today, everyone is questioning whether the performance was suitable for a 16-year-old, and a debate over the suggestive choreography has developed over the Internet.
Keep in mind, Miley’s fame can largely be contributed to her role on The Disney Channel’s series, “Hannah Montana.” The network says, quote, “Disney Channel won’t be commenting on that performance, although parents can rest assured that all content presented on the Disney Channel is age-appropriate for our audience – kids six to 14 – and consistent with what our brand values are.”
I think what made the whole performance all the more disgusting was that her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, sat in the crowd and smiled as he watched on. This family sure knows how to raise eyebrows, especially after Billy Ray and Miley’s infamous Vanity Fair photoshoot.
The Tribune’s “Live” section devoted an entire page to the controversy. Grab the print edition or head over here for more details.
