MTV's Video Music Awards airs September 12. Lady Gaga is nominated for a record breaking 13 awards. Eminem is nominated for 8 awards which breaks the record for men. Britney Spears, Rihanna & Christina Aguilera are not nominated for any awards. There is a rumor that Britney will open the show again. I guess we will have to wait and see. *fingers crossed*
