MONDAY, AUGUST 31 Because we know you’re concerned, here’s more gossip from last night’s superfluous MTV Video Awards. MTV loves to manufacture as much drama as possible for this ceremony—because otherwise? No one would give a shit. However, MTV is proclaiming its innocence in regards to the onstage dustup between testy rapper Nicki Minaj and reformed hillbilly/host Miley Cyrus. To recap: Nicki was accepting her award for best hiphop video when she decided to interrupt her own speech with amini-diatribe about comments Miley allegedly made to the New York Times about Nicki’s refusal to be nice on Twitter. “Now back to this bitch,” Nicki snapped in Miley’s direction, “that had a lot to say about me the other day in the press… Miley, what’s good?” Refusing to wither beneath the steely glare of Nicki, Miley spun and barked back, “We all do interviews, and we all know how they can be manipulated. Congratufuckinglations, Nicki.” At this point, Nicki’s mic was shut off, but from what she was mouthing, it doesn’t look like she and Miley will be brunching with Taylor Swift and her new bestie Kanye West anytime soon. (Though these four would be awesome in a reboot of Mean Girls.)
