MTV VMA’s: Sept. 13 in NYC

Brand

The MTV Video Music Awards will be returning to New York City this year.  The festivities will take place on September 13 and will have performances from Taylor Swift and the great British rock band Muse, among others.

This year’s host, Russell Brand, will once again lead the chaos.  Brand made a little controversy this year when he made fun of the Jonas Brothers‘ purity rings.  No need to make fun of that anymore, considering one of the boys is trading his purity ring in for a wedding ring.  Personally, I thought Brand was really funny last time but I think I may have been in the minority.  You could hear a pin drop during some of his jokes.  Oh well.

Apparently the show won’t be held in just one venue.  MTV says the awards ceremony will take place all over NYC, including Madison Square Garden and Radio City Music Hall.  Whatever helps to make it more interesting.  The VMA’s have been lacking lately.  What used to be inventive and exciting has now become repetitive and bland.  Let’s hope that a return to New York will liven the show up.

David Arquette to Live in a Box

Arquette

David Arquette is going to live in a box.  For two days.  For charity.

The actor is going to stay in a Plexiglas (I think that means plastic?) box above the Madison Square Garden marquee for two days next week.  However, he won’t be in there all day.  He’ll be inside for about eight hours each day.  His stay will earn $250,000 for the charity Feeding America.

Donations will be given at Madison Square Garden or online or through text messages. If anyone’s in New York next Tuesday and Wednesday, make sure to stop by and wave hello.

Good for David Arquette.  We always need actors doing crazy stuff for charity.  If David Blaine had raised money every time he has sat on ice or submerged himself in water we might have rid the world of world hunger by now.
