'Survivor' Champs Ethan & Jenna Join 'Amazing Race' Cast

'Survivor' Champs Ethan & Jenna Join 'Amazing Race' Cast

For the first time in The Amazing Race history, two Survivor champions will compete together, as couple Ethan Zohn (Survivor: Africa) and Jenna Morasca (Survivor: The Amazon) head up the show's 19th cast.

Although the popular international competition, which premieres Sept. 25 on CBS, has previously included various reality-show veterans (Survivor alums Rob Mariano and Amber Brkich have competed twice; former Big Brother residents Jeff Schroeder and Jordan Lloyd, as well as Alison Irwin and her boyfriend Donny), Ethan, 37, and Jenna, 30, are the first team composed of two reality-show winners.

The long-term couple, who've been dating since 2003, told Entertainment Weekly that the competition is "especially sweet" considering his recent medical struggles associated with his Hodgkin's lymphoma diagnosis.

"Last year I was attached to a pump in complete isolation in a f—ing hospital room, and now I'm out traveling the world with the woman I love. Whatever happens, it's gonna be okay," Zohn told EW.com just before the race began. "But if she screws up, I'm gonna kill her."

Despite her impressive win on Survivor, Morasca says she is definitely the more nervous half of the team. "I'm surprisingly more nervous than Ethan so I told him unless it's a horseback riding, pole dancing, circus, animal, or shopping challenge, that he's doing the first Roadblock."

Other famous globetrotting contestants include Zac Sunderland, who at 16 became the first person under 18 to sail solo around the world, and his father Laurence; retired NFL player Marcus Pollard and his wife Amani; and former Olympic snowboarders Andy Finch and Tommy Czeschin.

LaLa Kicks Off VIBE VIXEN's Premiere Issue, Talks LGBT Issues

Vibe Vixen magazine is back.  And they're going the digital route this time around.  The female-driven magazine under the VIBE brand that folded 4 years ago has brought back their look and their brand. 

 

Check out LaLa Anthony covering the premiere digital issue and speaking on her cousin Dice's LGBT issues she's going through this season on "LaLa's Full Court Life"...

La looked fab rocking a black strapless dress and long waves for the cover.  She discussed the big personal issue surroundign her cousin Dice that we'll see on this season of her show, plus what fellow YBF chick Meagan Good taught her:

On the topic of LGBT sexuality that arises:
My cousin Dice is a big part of my reality show and what’s important to me about Dice besides, obviously, that being my cousin and one of my best friends, is Dice is dealing with sexuality issues and different things like that. I think it’s important to see things like that on television because you have a lot of people struggling with who they are and trying to find themselves and worrying about if people aren’t going to accept them, and it’s good that we touch on these issues on the show. I think that can help a lot of people.

On what she learned from Megan Good during Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man:
What I’ve learned just from watching Megan Good is that acting should be effortless. I watch her and she makes it seem so effortless and so easy that it makes my job easier because I’m feeding off of her energy.

Check out the rest of the highlights with Mrs. Anthony over at VV.  The first digital issue drops Thurs., September 1.

Michael Jackson's Family Upset With James Durbin Over 'American Idol' Pepsi Quip

'We were shocked to see this,' read the Jacksons' message; Durbin tweeted an apology on Thursday.
By Gil Kaufman

Some people might argue that it's patently unfair to take rank amateurs, put them on the biggest show on TV and then expose them to potential worldwide ridicule every week. Because it's one thing to tune in to "American Idol" from your living room or play shows at the local wings joint, it's another thing entirely when you get up on that stage and open your mouth with tens of millions watching and listening.

James Durbin learned this lesson the hard way this week when he made what he thought was an innocent crack about not setting himself on fire during his pyro-tastic cover of Elton John's "Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)" on Wednesday night.

Asked by host Ryan Seacrest if he was worried about dancing around among the flames shooting up from the piano onstage, Durbin joked, "I have a lot of hairspray in my hair to keep it from jumping around — so much so, the one thing I was worried about was having a 'Pepsi moment.' "

The seemingly innocent crack was a reference to the 1984 on-set accident in which late pop icon Michael Jackson was badly burned during the shooting of a Pepsi commercial by some wayward pyro effects. The serious burns he suffered in the incident allegedly led to his longtime addiction to pain medication and prescription drugs.

The Jackson family was not amused by the quip and sent a statement to TMZ on Thursday.

"We were shocked to see this. It's nothing to make light of and everybody should be focusing on who was responsible for Michael's death," read the statement. Family patriarch Joseph Jackson also was reportedly miffed that "Idol" producers did not cut the comment from the West Coast feed of the show.

Durbin defended his slip-up in a tweet, which has since been scrubbed from the singer's official "Idol" Twitter feed, that explained, "For anyone talkin ... I said pepsi NOT MJ! I have no disrespect for Michael. I grew up singing his art. I guess youll take it how you want it." He later added, "Talkin about MJs passing is too soon. Making a reference to an incident 25 years ago..not too soon. The stab was at pepsi people."

It's worth noting that Pepsi's bitter rival, Coca-Cola, is the main "Idol" sponsor, a fact that Seacrest reminded Durbin of in an awkward moment after the comment on the show.

What did you think of James Durbin's "Pepsi" quip? Tell us in the comments.

The Formula For An Amazing News Item: Whitney Houston, A Monkey And Toe Sucking

Whitney Houston, Bubbles The Monkey And Toe Sucking

Every so often a news item comes along that defies all reason and exceeds all expectations of news greatness. Today, I found one such story. The headline reads: "Whitney Houston Once Got Intimate With Michael Jackson's Pet Monkey Bubbles." What does that mean exactly? It means that David Gest (that weird looking fellow who was married to Liza Minnelli) made some interesting claims during his interview for the upcoming Michael Jackson documentary. "Whitney was having dinner with Michael at his Neverland home when she accidentally dropped her knife under the table. While Michael was retrieving it for her, Whitney felt her toes being sucked. She moaned, 'Michael, is that you? Don't stop. That's so sensual.' Yet Michael's head popped up and her toes were still being sucked. It turned out it was Bubbles," he recalled. And there you have it. Questions, comments, concerns? Above, the breakdown of what makes this news item truly amazing. [ONTD]

Lil Wayne Celebrates Post-VMA Release Of Tha Carter IV

'Wayne dropped his album at the VMAs like a boss,' Rick Ross says at release party held at Hollywood nightclub.
By Alvin Blanco

Lil Wayne closed out Sunday's 2011 MTV VMAs by singing, rapping and rocking, but his night was actually just getting started. Tha Carter IV became available at midnight, and Weezy celebrated the album's long-awaited release at the Boulevard3 nightclub in Hollywood.

A number of Weezy F.'s fellow artists were in the spot to personally give the New Orleans rapper their regards. "Wayne dropped his album at the VMAs like a boss, that's something an artist can only dream of," Rick Ross told MTV News.

"Wayne is a rock star. He is just mega right now," added Rocsi Diaz of BET's 106 & Park.

DJ Khaled, who featured Wayne on a pair of songs ("I'm On One," "Welcome to My Hood") on his latest album, was also in the house. "I'm happy for him and I'm happy for all his success, and I'm a fan as well," the Miami DJ/producer said while seated between Rozay and Drake.

Even "American Idol" contestant Chris Richardson gave Lil Tunechi props, saying, "All the songs on Wayne's albums are just intelligent and new and fresh."

Some attendees already were familiar with the music on the just-released Tha Carter IV, which leaked on Thursday. "My favorite song probably is 'Blunt Blowin',' 'Abortion' [or] 'I'm Good,' " YMCMB rapper Tyga said.

Cash Money singer/songwriter and producer Kevin Rudolf also professed to listening to plenty of Weezy, as did Young Money president and artist Mack Maine, who added the reasoning by behind his favorite cuts on Tha Carter IV. "I'm a lady's man so I like 'She Will' and I like 'So Special' a lot," said Maine.

The 28th annual MTV Video Music Awards have wrapped, but the real action is just getting started! Stick with MTV News for winners, fashion pics, video and behind-the-scenes stories about everything that went down. Visit VMA.MTV.com for the latest.

Red Hot Chili Peppers 'A New Band' On I'm With You

First album in five years, out Monday (August 29), is 'us, with a whole new thing,' Anthony Kiedis tells MTV News.
By James Montgomery

Anthony Kiedis makes no bones about the fact that the Red Hot Chili Peppers are "a new band," despite all evidence to the contrary. After all, not many "new" bands have sold more than 65 million albums worldwide, won a grip of Grammy awards, survived a series of rather-seismic lineup shifts or made some of the most-iconic music videos of all time. And even fewer have actually been a band since 1983.

And yet, here is Kiedis, talking about the Chili Peppers' 10th studio album, I'm With You, in stores Monday (August 29), and how its recording signifies not only a new era — it's the first with new guitarist Josh Klinghoffer, who replaced longtime member John Frusciante in 2009 — but a new band, too.

As Kieids explained to MTV News, it has "a lot to do with" Klinghoffer. "He's definitely a big part of why it's different: different person, different chemistry, different experience, different era ... we're a new band, and thank goodness.

"It seemed to be, whether we liked it or not, time for change to take place. So, an opportunity was created, one that instantly seemed to be a wonderful occasion. It's so exciting when you get thrown a curveball by the universe, and you turn that curveball into a home run. And I feel like that's what happened ... Curveballs used to break my heart and freak me out, but now, I know from experience that they usually lead to something cool."

And on I'm With You, not only do the Peppers begin a new chapter, but they push their signature sound further than they've ever pushed before. Sure, Flea's propulsive bass lines still form the backbone, but the new songs are amplified and expounded upon by his time spent studying music theory at USC.

In a new twist, most of the tunes began as piano compositions and slowly blossomed in the recording studio, with Klinghoffer adding slow-diving guitar flourishes (and the occasional keyboard, too). There are percussive tones added by Brazilian musicians and organ peals from former Beastie Boys associates.

As Kiedis put it, "It's more ethereally complex and layered and kind of spooky and moody and dreamy, yet still profound. ... The spirit of the Red Hot Chili Peppers remains and changes and moves on. It's us, with a whole new thing."

Of course, that "new thing" couldn't have been created without putting the old thing to bed — which means that, for the first time in their careers, the Chili Peppers decided to take a break from the business of being a band: A break that, to hear Kiedis tell it, was a long time coming.

"We had a little coffee break there ... it was a hell of a big cup," he said, laughing. "It was kind of an unspoken, obvious time for [it]. By the end of the Stadium Arcadium tour, which was a year and a half, everybody was like a pile of broken dolls, and no one could really conceive of not taking a break.

"So when somebody uttered 'Two-year break,' everyone just hip-hip hoorayed, and without really knowing what that would mean, it was a good idea," he continued. "It was just an innate, gut-instinct good idea. And everybody went and did things that made a lot of sense."

And though the self-imposed hiatus lasted two years (and included Frusciante's departure,) there was never a moment where Kiedis ever thought about doing anything but the Red Hot Chili Peppers. And even if fans began to worry about the band's future — Arcadium was released in 2006, making this the longest period between albums in RHCP history — he never did — partially because he never lost the passion, but mostly because he knew rebirths take a long time.

"I have never felt anywhere close to being done. I was pretty sure after the last record that the best was yet to come, but I always kind of feel like that, like if you want it, it's there," he said. "I like really old people that still make out intensely with their wives or girlfriends ... why would you ever stop?"

By MTV News Staff

Ever since they were first announced, the O Music Awards have proudly proclaimed themselves the untraditional alternative to the staid world of red carpets, acceptance speeches and celebrity glad-handing.

And for further proof of that point, consider the following: Though the inaugural O Music Awards won't premiere until April 28, the first award will be handed out on Monday at 4 p.m. ET ... and it's a big one.

For weeks, fans have been voting for the Most Innovative Music Video through the O Music Awards official site, and on Monday — in a roundtable debate moderated by MTV News' James Montgomery — a winner will be crowned.

The O Music Awards Debate for the Most Innovative Music Video, presented by FUZE®, will stream live on OMusicAwards.com and MTV.com. Joining Montgomery around the table will be acclaimed video director Wayne Isham, Mashable's Brenna Ehrlich and some super-secret celebrity guests.


The Black Eyed Peas, Ke$ha, My Chemical Romance and more will also take part in the discussion about just what makes a video truly innovative, and the folks who are nominated for the award — a list that includes Arcade Fire, Robyn, OK Go and Andy Grammer — will also Skype in to make the case for why their video deserves to be named Most Innovative.

On Monday morning, the original list of 10 nominees will be whittled down to the top five vote-getters, and then, during the debate, our roundtable and the Internet audience will cut that list down to the final three. At the very end, we'll announce the winner of the very first O Music Award for Most Innovative Video.

The inaugural O Music Awards will stream live from Las Vegas at 11 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT on OMusicAwards.com. Tune in to see who will reign supreme in categories like Most Viral Dance, Funniest Music Short and NSFW Music Video!

Mary J. Blige Dishes On Her 'Crazy' Led Zeppelin Covers

'I've listened to their music since I was a child,' says the R&B diva, who recorded 'Stairway to Heaven' and 'Whole Lotta Love.'
By James Montgomery, with reporting by Larry Carroll


Mary J. Blige

You wouldn't peg Mary J Blige as the black-light-and-tapestry sort, but, as has become readily apparent in recent weeks, she absolutely loves Led Zeppelin.

In early February, reports began circulating that Blige had re-recorded Zeppelin's classic "Stairway to Heaven," working with Travis Barker, "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson and guitarist Steve Vai on the track, which is slated to appear on the international reissue of her Stronger With Each Tear album, due Monday.

But after she had recorded "Stairway," Blige continued to get the Led out, covering another Zeppelin classic — the thunderous "Whole Lotta Love" — for the album too. And when MTV News caught up with her on the Essence Black Women in Hollywood red carpet, she told us all about channeling her inner Robert Plant for the tracks, a process that came much easier than you'd probably imagine.

"I did Led Zeppelin's 'Stairway to Heaven' and 'Whole Lotta Love' — it's crazy," she said. "I am a Led Zeppelin fan. I'm not going to say I've been to their concerts, but I've listened to their music since I was a child, and it's always moved me, especially 'Stairway to Heaven,' and 'Whole Lotta Love' is just fun."

Blige also said she recorded another new song — a "club record" called "I Can't Wait" — for the re-release. And while it's only slated to hit shelves outside the U.S., she hopes her fans will get a chance to hear all the new songs pretty soon.

"I want y'all to hear it," she laughed.

'The Help' Defeats Remakes, Reboots, Sequels At Box Office

'Planet of the Apes' is #2 in its second week of release, with 'Fright Night' and 'Conan' trailing behind.
By Ryan J. Downey

Librarians, booksellers and English teachers, rejoice: Moviegoers overwhelmingly chose "The Help," adapted from the best-selling novel, over all of the remakes, sequels and reboots in theaters this past weekend.

"The Help" dropped just 21 percent in its second weekend of release, taking in $20.5 million (for a 12-day $71.8 million total) to become the #1 movie in America, according to studio estimates. The heavily promoted "Fright Night" remake, the "Conan" reboot and the latest "Spy Kids" all flopped.

Last week's #1 movie, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes," was in second place this week with $16.3 million. The well-reviewed sci-fi film's $133.8 million total put it past where Tim Burton's critically maligned "Planet of the Apes" remake was during a similar spot in its 2001 theatrical run.

The scratch-and-sniff cards given out at screenings as part of the "aromascope" experience did nothing to take the stink off of "Spy Kids: All the Time in the World," which debuted with a franchise low of $12 million. Only 23 percent of critics on Rotten Tomatoes enjoyed filmmaker Robert Rodriguez's latest, in which he cast his "Sin City" and "Machete" veteran Jessica Alba as a "spy mom."

It's been eight years since the last "Spy Kids" movie and nearly 30 years since Arnold Schwarzenegger spoke of the lamentation of his enemies' women in the original "Conan the Barbarian." Newcomer Jason Momoa's franchise reboot (Conan originated with fantasy writer Robert E. Howard in 1932) mustered only $10 million in its debut. The 1982 "Conan" enjoyed three times the attendance when it opened.

Another flick with an '80s nostalgia bent, "Fright Night," suffered the worst opening of the weekend's new wide releases. The remake of the tongue-in-cheek "Rear Window"-like vampire flick opened at #6 with just $7.9 million, putting it behind "The Smurfs," which took in $8 million for a $117.7 million total.

The Anne Hathaway romance flick "One Day" was also new in theaters this week. Although it's playing on just 1,719 screens ("Apes," by comparison, is on 3,471), its $5.1 million opening was still low by most industry expectations.

Next weekend's new releases include the horror flick "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark," which was co-written and produced by Guillermo del Toro, and the Paul Rudd comedy "Our Idiot Brother."

Check out everything we've got on "The Help" and "Rise of the Planet of the Apes."

Beyonce Serves Up Intimate Performance In NYC

With no costume changes or elaborate set switch-ups, singer performed entire 4 album alongside her biggest hits.
By Jocelyn Vena

Beyoncé played her second of four nights at New York's Roseland Ballroom on Tuesday night, presenting an ear-popping event that served as a cabaret act featuring a ferocious mix of old favorites and new tracks from her album 4.

Billed as an intimate night with the superstar, the show feautured B in a sparkly silver dress, backed by a full-on orchestra and several backup dancers. No costume changes, no elaborate set changes. The real star was B's never-miss-a-note voice and her razzle-dazzle dance moves.

During the first part of the night, Beyoncé gave fans some of the inside stories behind her biggest hits, ranging from her early beginnings with Destiny's Child to her breakout moments as a solo artist. Her swagger never faltered and was evident when she spouted lines like "On April 4, 2008, somebody put a ring on it," before launching into her hit "Single Ladies." Before that revealing moment, Beyoncé sang bits and pieces of her biggest hits like "Bootylicious," "Survivor," "Bills, Bills, Bills," and "Crazy in Love." No stone was left unturned.

The night, however, was really all about 4. She ran through the entire album, displaying her panache for old-school performing the likes of Tina Turner or Diana Ross. During ballads like "1+1," "I Care" and the show-closing "End of Time," Queen B's vocal abilities outshined it all.

It was her ability to throw a party during faster jams like "Party," "Countdown," "End of Time" and "Run the World (Girls)" that put on full display her range as a performer, dancing and singing live the entire night. Her fans sang along to every word and their energy for the material was only matched by Beyoncé's enthusiasm for live performance.

'Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance' Trailer Is Flamin' Awesome

First trailer from the film has been released following a preview at last month's San Diego Comic-Con.
By Aubrey Sitterson

One of the most surprising things to come out of this year's San Diego Comic-Con was footage from "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance." Everyone knew that the film was roaring down the highway toward us, but no one expected it to actually look, well, good. After scenes from the movie were shown at the event, the Internet was abuzz with talk of fans finally getting the "Ghost Rider" movie they deserve. Now, you can see what all the fuss was about for yourself with the first trailer for the upcoming film.

Based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name, "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance" is the sequel to 2007's "Ghost Rider." The biker with the flaming-skull head has long been one of Marvel's darker and more twisted characters, especially considering his backstory as a motorcycle daredevil whose pact with the devil didn't turn out quite as he planned. As the Ghost Rider, Johnny Blaze rides America's forgotten highways, meting out vengeance with his flaming bike, signature chain and a host of fire-based powers.

Like the 2007 film, "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance" features Nicolas Cage, and the character boasts a whole new look that ties into the darkness at the Ghost Rider's core.

"The Ghost Rider is just the coolest-looking superhero, and it has to be the one that goes to film and looks the best," Cage told MTV News last month. "I think they've achieved that with this."

At the helm of "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance" are Brian Taylor and Mark Neveldine, the pair of directors best known for their high-octane flicks "Crank" and "Crank: High Voltage." The duo told MTV News that they were test-driving all-new techniques while filming the movie, including Neveldine strapping on Rollerblades and clinging to the back of a motorcycle just to get a single amazing shot.

That commitment to madness is clearly on display in the new trailer for "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance," as the movie looks to be fully embracing what makes the character so spectacularly over-the-top. Though it starts out slow, by the one-minute mark, you'll find yourself up to your leather jacket in explosive, flame-drenched action. Over the course of the trailer, you'll see the Ghost Rider take out cars with his chain, spit bullets at bad guys and even pee fire. Seriously — he actually pees fire, and it's absolutely awesome.

What do you think about the "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance" trailer? Tell us in the comments below, on Facebook or on Twitter.

Lady Gaga VMA Wish List: Balloons, Bones And More

Little Monsters make predictions (and suggestions) for Gaga's fashion and opening performance come Sunday.
By Kara Klenk, with additional reporting by Jim Cantiello

When Lady Gaga was asked about plans for her opening performance at Sunday's 2011 Video Music Awards, she told MTV News, "I'm pretty good at knowing what my fans want me to do."

Mother Monster is certainly in tune with the needs of her Little Monsters, and if anyone could guess what the unpredictable pop star has planned on Sunday, it's them.

Some fans predict that her 2011 performance will be an extension of 2009's blood-soaked "Paparazzi" number. One of Gaga's Twitter followers wrote, "I reckon it's gonna be quite eery + scary, and full of blood!" Many thought it would mimic her VMA promos, which had a jazzy style and Gaga playing piano.

Others thought she would tap into themes from her "Yoü and I" video, with several fans suggesting she'll appear as her mermaid alter ego, Yuyi. When MTV News correspondent Jim Cantiello talked to fans in Times Square during "MTV First: Lady Gaga" last week, one silver-bra-clad Little Monster said, "I'm hoping for some mermaids and some fish," while @killermuses predicted she would perform "inside of a giant aquarium."

One thing fans definitely want to see is a guy named Jo Calderone. @Steveo_010 tweeted, "Hopefully she invites @JoCalderone as her 'date.' " @JustJustan predicts she'll accept awards as her male alter.

In terms of what song she'll perform, many fans guessed "Yoü and I," while others were pulling for "Heavy Metal Lover," "Bloody Mary" and "Government Hooker" with the possibility of a medley.

No one will ever forget the meat dress Gaga wore at last year's VMAs, so speculation about her potential fashion is widespread. @MonsterStarGaga thinks the singer will wear a "bone dress"; other bets were on outfits made of lights, leaves and balloons. A few fans like @rACHEL_hALE13 suggested the most shocking thing for Gaga to do would be to "dress 'normal' no costumes, just simple!" (Since Gaga promised to make a "statement" with her fashion, we're guessing simple is out of the question.)

Or maybe Gaga would consider a simple look for one outfit, but she will likely change multiple times. When asked to predict how many times she would change, one blond-Gaga-wig-wearing fan in Times Square guessed: "17."

Will Lady Gaga take the stage alone or is a duet in the cards? Fans predicted Beyoncé would join her to perform "Telephone," and @mafeux suggested she "invite @alyankovic to perform a duet of 'Perform This Way.' "

Who knows what is going to happen? But we can expect, as @tabithadavis17 tweeted, "On a scale of 1-10 for outrageousness...I'd say 100."

The 28th annual MTV Video Music Awards will air live Sunday from Los Angeles at 9 p.m. ET/PT, following the Selena Gomez-hosted pre-show at 8. See the list of nominees, revisit last year's highlights and vote for Best New Artist by visiting VMA.MTV.com.

Ever since they were first announced, the O Music Awards have proudly proclaimed themselves the untraditional alternative to the staid world of red carpets, acceptance speeches and celebrity glad-handing.

And for further proof of that point, consider the following: Though the inaugural O Music Awards won't premiere until April 28, the first award will be handed out on Monday at 4 p.m. ET ... and it's a big one.

For weeks, fans have been voting for the Most Innovative Music Video through the O Music Awards official site, and on Monday — in a roundtable debate moderated by MTV News' James Montgomery — a winner will be crowned.

The O Music Awards Debate for the Most Innovative Music Video, presented by FUZE®, will stream live on OMusicAwards.com and MTV.com. Joining Montgomery around the table will be acclaimed video director Wayne Isham, Mashable's Brenna Ehrlich and some super-secret celebrity guests.


The Black Eyed Peas, Ke$ha, My Chemical Romance and more will also take part in the discussion about just what makes a video truly innovative, and the folks who are nominated for the award — a list that includes Arcade Fire, Robyn, OK Go and Andy Grammer — will also Skype in to make the case for why their video deserves to be named Most Innovative.

On Monday morning, the original list of 10 nominees will be whittled down to the top five vote-getters, and then, during the debate, our roundtable and the Internet audience will cut that list down to the final three. At the very end, we'll announce the winner of the very first O Music Award for Most Innovative Video.

The inaugural O Music Awards will stream live from Las Vegas at 11 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT on OMusicAwards.com. Tune in to see who will reign supreme in categories like Most Viral Dance, Funniest Music Short and NSFW Music Video!
