  • Lily Allen’s work visa was revoked on Sunday after she flew to Los Angeles from Australia. After landing, the British singer was questioned and held for five hours over an alleged assault in London that occurred in June. A spokesman reassures that Allen was “not strip searched.”
  • Ticketmaster-owned echomusic, the “direct-to-fan Web platform,” has inked a deal with Dolly Parton to create her first official Web site; Kanye West and Faith Hill have already signed agreements with the company.
  • Later this afternoon, MTV will announce the nominees for 2007’s Video Music Awards, which will take place in Las Vegas on September 9. The show will be shortened to two hours, and every rebroadcast will be remixed based on fans voting for their favorite segments.

Maybe it is time that the VMA’s get shortened to zero hours and they just buy the rights to the Kid’s Choice Awards.

Bootleg copies of the very first MTV awards circulate…that was like early 1985 and it’s AWESOME. Herbie Hancock, Cyndi Lauper, Madonna…

Is MTV even relevent anymore? How can they have video music awards or even movie awards when they play neither? In the words of Jello Biafra of Dead Kennedy’s fame: “MTV GET OFF THE AIR!”.

Mtv isn’t relative to music anymore, everyone knows that those awards are a big informercial for consumer junkies, nothing hip, nothing cool, nothing new.

Thanks for telling us what band Jello was in. You are a freakin genius.

First Sly Stallone, then Snoop, now Lily Allen? Australia, when did you get so responsible?

The ‘Direct-to-fan’ platform is the new ’service charge’. Nice try, Ticketmaster.

They should shorten the MTV Music Video awards to about half hour, just to be safe.

An Iron Man watch? Damn, that Ozzy will shill for anyone these days!
