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.

Paula Abdul, consider yourself warned! I’ve got you figured out!
The people managing Paula Abdul’s career are winning big this week! In fact, I’d love hire
them for my career. She quit her job with American Idol on Friday, which was all over news headlines. Just yesterday, the President of the ABC television network was quoted as saying that he would love to have Paula on his network’s popular show, Dancing with the Stars. Again, Paula’s name was all over news headlines.
Today, Paula’s PR people strike again! She’s going to be on Letterman tonight (CBS-2, 10:35P CT). Maybe we’ll learn more about what her post Idol plans entail.
One thing’s for sure … you couldn’t pay for all of this publicity!
