MTV Video Music Awards

Courtney Love has had her share of controversy, so it's to no one's surprise that the former Hole frontwoman had something to say about the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards -- specifically about two of the night's biggest performances from Katy Perry, who boxed and did the mildest of choreography, and Miley Cyrus, who twerked on Robin Thicke's crotch.

Taylor Swift delivered a "shut the f--- up" heard (and GIFed) 'round the world at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, and considering she'd dissed her ex, One Direction hottie Harry Styles, that night, the world assumed she was talking to him. After all, he was onstage when she said it, so it's not some grand leap of gossip logic, right? But as it turns out, her "STFU" wasn't dire

We've heard from Justin Timberlake, Billy Ray Cyrus, Donald Trump and the inventor of the foam finger about Miley Cyrus' MTV Video Music Awards performance, but we had yet to hear from Miley herself. Until now. Spoiler: She's just being Miley!

Miley Cyrus' twerktastic performance during last week's MTV Video Music Awards had tongues and angry foam fingers wagging. Except apparently for mop-topped billionaire Donald Trump, who went on record via his Vine account to support Cyrus. We know, we're haven't been this confused since Bill O'Reilly said he supported gay marriage.

It looks like some 'Blurred Lines' were crossed at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. Robin Thicke, fresh off of his controversial performance with Miley Cyrus, was caught feelin' on another woman's booty at a VMAs afterparty.

Miley Cyrus' 'We Can't Stop' and 'Blurred Lines' medley at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards has been the talk of the town all week, angering the likes of the man who invented the foam finger, parents everywhere and a teddy bear organization -- but not Cyrus' own father, Billy Ray, who admitted that Miley would always be his little girl no matter what.

Though a lot of parents, some feminists, some members of the black community and plenty of actual twerkers took issue with Miley Cyrus' 2013 MTV Video Music Awards performance, one person in particular dug it: the man of the night, Justin Timberlake.

Despite supposedly telling her former beau Harry Styles to "shut the f--- up" at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, Taylor Swift knows to play nice when she's fully aware that cameras are on her. The 'Everything Has Changed' singer even cozied up for a photo with Styles and their mutual BFF, Ed Sheeran, at a VMAs after party.

The much-hyped 'N SYNC reunion at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards turned out to be more of a cameo by the boy band, who essentially just supported Justin Timberlake in his Video Vanguard Award and performance ... and it turns out, Timberlake's bandmates (Lance Bass, J.C. Chasez, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick) were thrilled for the 'Mirrors' singer, but they were less than thrilled at how the s

The claws are out! Not everyone was impressed by last night's 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. One heavy hitter in particular who didn't care for the performances? The outspoken original 'American Idol' herself, Kelly Clarkson.

At the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, Taylor Swift allegedly dropped an F-bomb during an innocent speech by One Direction singer Harry Styles, whom she dated briefly at the end of 2012 through January of this year.

Ed Sheeran is pretty crafty. While everyone's been wondering if he's hooking up with Selena Gomez or Taylor Swift, it seems he's actually been getting cozy with someone else entirely: Ellie Goulding.

Justin Timberlake was the man of the night at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. He not only nabbed Video of the Year for 'Mirrors,' he also reunited with 'N SYNC for his Video Vanguard performance!

Katy Perry closed out the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards with her new hit single, 'Roar,' from under the Brooklyn Bridge ... and she was a true knockout.

Miley Cyrus continued her "urban" transformation at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. Clad first in a onesie, then stripping down to a nude bra and panties, the twerking enthusiast did her best to attain more cred in her duet with Robin Thicke.

Lady Gaga opened the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards with a bang -- and we bet she shut up a lot of her naysayers (we're looking at you, Perez Hilton) in the process.

The 2013 MTV Video Music Awards are underway, and between the performances, the fashion and the insane moments (we're looking at you, twerking Miley Cyrus), it's almost tough to keep up with the actual awards and who won what! We're here to help...

The 2013 MTV Video Music Awards are a place for artists to take risks and show off their fiercest style. Unfortunately, sometimes style can be so fierce that it, well, bites. Check out the best and worst dressed ladies of the evening below...
