The Video Music Awards aftermath continues! The night's host Russell Brand plagued the stage with various victims in mind including The Jonas Brothers, but the "Burnin' Up" trio has fired back...

Brand shouted out venomous comments about a slew of celebs, but it seemed that his favorite chistes of the night involved slammin' The Jonas Brothers for their sacred vow of chastity:

Well done the Jonas Brothers. Each wear a ring to say they are not going to have sex. I'd take them more seriously if they wore it around their genitals.

But these virginal playboys are not keeping their mouths shut:

Nick Jonas: For us it's cool to see that he recognizes we are gentleman.
Kevin Jonas: I think he focused on certain things and didn't move off of them. People's attention spans in America need more than that.

Luckily, our dear old Russie ended up apologizing for the fiasco by stating:

I love the Jonas Brothers, think they're really good. I don't want to p*** off teenage fans, all right. In fact, quite the opposite. So promise rings, I'm well up for it, well done.

Yea, that's what we thought! [BCC News Beat, MTV]

Were T.I. and Lil Wayne too cool to kick it with MTV after the VMAs?

It sure looked that way! We were behind-the-scenes after the big show and were surprised when two of the night's biggest names were no where to be found. Rumor has it that the "King of the South" was skipping the festivities to rest up for "Bone Deep," the crime drama he starts filming Monday (September 8th) alongside Oscar nominee Matt Dillon. Ok, so maybe TIP gets a pass, THIS TIME.

¿Pero qué pasó with Lil Wayne? We overheard him talking about it to someone from MTV:

You know me, I don't really trip off the parties and stuff, I may pop up at a party or two. Tonight I'll be in the studio working on some stuff.

Ahhh the old studio line huh. Well if that's the case, no wonder he is the top selling hip-hop artist this year! [MTV News]

There are only two days left until the Moon Man lands in Hollywood! We've got the low-down on the latest VMA announcements sure to tease los pantalones right off of you...

We're bringing to you updates via the VMA Press Conference, which was taken over by Britfabulous VMA host Russell Brand. Since MTV never does anything without making a splash, they announced new performers in a most unusual way...

Christina Aguilera was dropped off in a stretch limo to announce that she'll perform her latest single "Keeps Getting Better" at the show.  We wonder if the new mami will return to her X-Tina ways while on stage!

The sorpresas didn't stop there... Rapper T.I. emerged from the fire escape of the "New York City" set in the Paramount lot, fumbled down the stairs, and announced that he'll perform a song at the VMAs from his upcoming album "Paper Trail" featuring Rihanna.

After the stunts subsided Brand let us in on other HUGE appearances scheduled for Sunday, including Britney Spears, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Kid Rock with Lil Wayne and Kanye West. Yup, you heard right, after all his whining last year Yeezy is back again to close out the show!

Watch the full VMA Press Conference for more facts on the show, then tune-in to the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards LIVE on Sunday September 7th @ 9pm EST.

Forget waiting until Friday to get the fin de semana started!

We're celebrating the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards Latino style (pass the piñatas, güey) by throwing a pre-game fiesta tonight at Los Angeles' Level 3 club. Did we mention that Calle 13 and Colby O'Donis are performing, only to be joined by a slew of hot latin celebs on the red carpet?

Calle 13 will treat party goers to songs from their new album "Los de Atras Vienen Conmigo," as well as classic cuts like "Atrévete Te, Te!" and "Pal Norte." This is the FIRST time that fans will hear new Calle tunes; fans of the Puerto Rican duo have been chomping at the bit for new developments since Calle 13 took over the Latin Grammys in 2006 with awards for their self-titled debut album.

Colby (and a special guest) will be his smooth self at the show, performing a fifteen minute set including "What You Got" in Spanish and "So Sick of Love" unplugged.

We're chillin' stageside at Level 3 right now for Calle 13's rehearsal. There's no sign of Residente or Colby yet, but Visitante strolled in ready for la parranda while rockin' a Christopher Walken tee-shirt. His sister also came ready for the mayhem by wearing a red clown nose while kicking back with the band.

We can spoon feed you all the details, but we'd rather you see it for yourself. Stay tuned for more chisme from rehearsals, and then watch FULL VIDEO COVERAGE OF CALLE 13 and COLBY O' DONIS' performances from the Tr3s VMA Pre-Party tomorrow, September 5th in the following places:

We can't get enough of René this week!

Besides the brewing battle between him and fellow Boricua Ivy Queen, el Residente is still openly sporting his love for former Miss Universe Denise Quiñones. While Calle 13 was rehearsing in L.A. last night for their upcoming performance at the exclusive MTV Tr3s VMA Pre-Party, Residente not only walked in with Denise but dedicated his performance of "No Hay Nadie Como Tu" to his longtime novia.

Political, cute AND romántico! Denise better hold on to this one no matter what her padres say! It makes us wonder if the simulated wedding scene between Denise and René in the “Tango Del Pecado" video will soon happen in real life. ¿Qué piensas?

We have witnessed Britney Spears' countless breakdowns and hair shaving raising moments, but loyal Latino fans seem to still want a taste of the "Piece of Me" pop princess. Brit lovers just might get their wish since it is rumored that the "Hit Me Baby One More Time" performer could end up getting a chance at redemption during the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards on September 7th at 9PM.

We have no spoiler alert here, but check out all the love Ms. Spears has gotten about her latest video on our MTV message boards! The Spanish messages are clearly raving about her comeback and new polished look. Do you think she is worthy of all the hype?

Whether its two blonde icons tongue wrestling, or a failed teenybopper comeback performance, the VMAs have always given us a reason to tune in year after year (Britney's VMA blunders alone could make for a week of Blogamole posts). Besides seeing tus artistas favoritos perform, you never know what type of insanity will unfold en vivo right before your eyes.

This year promises more madness as the show will tape live in Hollywood, Sunday September 7th. What makes this year's show even more theatrical is the fact that it will be staged over city streets, rooftops, and sound stages of the legendary Paramount Pictures studios.

What musical memories! For a quick refresher, hit up the official VMA website to watch last year's awards and see how star styles have evolved year-to-year.

Este año the VMA audience will have the opportunity of a lifetime -- they will be responsible for "executive producing" the show by helping MTV select which artists get nominated. Speaking of freedom of choice, you tell us! Who do you want to see perform at this year's VMAs? We're hoping for a Menudo/NKOTB duet. Te imaginas?

Artist, host and presenter line-up have not been confirmed, but you know that Blogamole will keep you on the tip. Stay linked in!
