(The show is happening across the way at the Nokia Theater.)<p> The black carpet is actually part of some crazy space-time continuum theme the show's planners have created and will travel through the hotel leading up to the theater.

Yeah, we don't want to either.</i><p>Go ahead. Say it. Just like we're too old for most reality shows, we're too old for the VMAs. Young kids don't want the likes of us around them, trying to get into their groove thang with our beepers and our Cross Colors shortalls. (See, we just dated ourselves.) So that's why we promise to stay away. <p>But whether you like it or not, MTV's <b>Video Music Awards</b> are coming back to New York on September 13th, with British comedian Russell Brand set to host again. Also making a comeback? Free swag!

This is despite the fact they used some of the Fantasy suites as performance spots.<p>Shoot, we would have preferred yet another marathon rerun of American's Next Top Model or even a marathon of "After the Show" recaps of The Hills.<p>However, one thing totally worth it was to see Britney Spears officially close the door shut on her career with her disastrous performance.<p>That and Kid Rock and Tommy Lee going at each other for round two.<p>&#183; <a href="http://www.jaunted.com/story/2007/9/10/82243/5506/travel/VMA+Post+Mortem%3A+Kid+Rock+Tommy+Lee+Fight+Video">Video of the Kid juliana 2007-09-10T17:35:36-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/9/6/165716/9737 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/MTV_palms.jpg" class="imgborder"><p>Britney Spears has formally announced her intention to appear at the MTV Video Music Awards this Sunday, September 9th at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Palms+Casino+Resort/local/40"><b>Palms Hotel &amp; Casino</b></a>.
