Everybody on the MTV News team is actually look ahead to this weekend, as it represents a much-needed and well-deserved rest for the full team, almost all of whom are recovering from last weekend's 2010 MTV Video Music Awards. The VMAs show is the spotlight of every year on the MTV News calendar, though in place to take you all the best coverage and behind-the-scenes access, it takes a lot of work, sweat, shoe leather and skipped meals.
So now that the record is behind us, we're passing to put our feet up, get massages and take long brunches with our loved ones this weekend. And later that, our batteries will be recharged fully and we'll continue to criticize the word out of the commons on a casual basis.
So love your weekend, because we really will be enjoying ours. And good in typeface you lost any of the awesome VMA coverage here on the MTV Newsroom Blog, check out all the highlights below.
As we mentioned, the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards were this past weekend. We open with our totally killer white carpet pre-show, where Lady Gaga started winning awards and Nicki Minaj melted faces.
Then the VMA show followed, which open with a stunning performance by Eminem and got larger and more heroic from there.
Gaga was the big story, as she collected eight awards - including the Moonman for Video of the Year.
Though her awards were plentiful, Gaga's biggest head-turning moment was when she wore an outfit made of heart to gather her final award. Everybody weighed in, from PETA and Ellen DeGeneres to style experts and the Chick-Fil-A cows.
Of course, Gaga's meat dress threw some curve balls. (Or not.)
It wasn't all Gaga, though. Kanye West grabbed the spot as well, dropping a new song called "Runaway" that is already an instant classic.Another big surprise? Rihanna, who jetted in from the set of "Battleship" to split the theatre down with Eminem on "Love the Way You Lie."
Taylor Swift also made some waves with a moody new song that may or may not have been about Kanye.
In typically epic, rocking fashion, Linkin Park's performance was so massive that but an observatory could truly contain it.
The remainder of the best moments from the VMAs included appearances by Lindsay Lohan and Cher, as good as performances by Justin Bieber, Usher, B.o.B and Paramore.
Not concerned in the VMAs? Other stuff happened this week too. For example: We got to end worrying about Joaquin Phoenix's mental health, as "I'm Still Here" director Casey Affleck admitted it was just performance art.
Finally, don't act like you don't want Uncle Nino to be your Uncle Nino.
