Just in... It's Britney Spears' Night At The VMAs, While Kanye West Ends The Show With A Bang

Watch the complete VMA videos here.

2008 marks the 25th annual VMAs, and to celebrate, MTV is heading to Hollywood, and we're taking over every inch of Paramount Studios. That's right -- instead of ushering your favorite A-list artists, reality stars, record-breakers, trouble-makers, models and other beautiful people straight to the velvety seats of your average auditorium, we're turning them loose on the movie sets, lots and hallowed Hollywood ground of Paramount Studios.

It's definitely gonna be a night to remember. Or is a night that will be hard to forget? Anyway, we imported comedian/actor/babe magnet Russell Brand all the way from London for the occasion. Did you see Forgetting Sarah Marshall? The English guy? That's him. All our Brit friends say he's bloody insane, so, of course, we gave him the VMA gig.

The VMAs have never been, nor will they ever be your conventional speech-smile-pause-applause award show. Instead, in addition to honoring the best videos in any given year, the VMAs have hosted some of the most unforgettable live performances and must-see moments in pop culture history. And this year, the VMAs are set to be the most outrageously adventurous yet.

So watch history get made as we celebrate the 25th annual VMAs, live from Paramount Studios in Hollywood. It could only happen in the movies, or, in this case, at the 2008 MTV VMAs. Anything and everything can happen, and with a special same-day telecast on MTV Asia, it probably will!
