The MTV Video Music Awards , which air tonight at 9 p.m. ET, admittedly can be a ridiculous affair that often focuses more on “controversial moments” than musical talent. But if you’re the kind of person who feels compelled to keep up on pop cultural current events — and if you read this blog, you must be — then you’ll probably be watching tonight. So what will people be tweeting and talking about during and after the ceremony? As always, some of the things that happen at the VMAs will be completely unpredictable.

Ten years ago, Tom Green’s lightly bearded visage was about as ubiquitous as his sense of humor was bizarre. During the early 2000s, the Canadian comic catapulted to stardom after his cable-access program, “The Tom Green Show,” moved to MTV. It was weird stuff. Green got his yuks with a distinctive blend of sketch comedy and surrealist candid-camera stunts. Among his best gags: painting a pornographic scene on the hood of his parents’ car. They were not amused. But everybody else was. Read full article > >
