Kate Perry and Miley Cyrus arrive at the 2008 MTV VMAs. Kate spared us her Chiquita Banana outfit - until her performance - and went with this mis-matched pin-up girl ensemble instead. Luckily they also spared us from laying a wet one on each other.

Solange Knowles does her best impression of a scalloped raspberry. Love the color, hate the mess of a dress.

Singer Jordin Sparks arrives at prom - I mean the VMAs - in a cross between a Forever 21 and Rampage hot mess of a dress.

Joel Madden and Paris Hilton look about as excited to be at the VMAs as we were seeing them on the red carpet. Pouty Paris' dress looks like it needs some wrinkle repair, while Mr. Madden must be on his way to a Blues Brothers audition.

Shwayze and Cisco Adler rock the casual look on the red carpet of the MTV VMAs. Someone needs to borrow a comb.

Rihanna popped out of a cake to reveal this road-kill inspired number complete with thigh-high boots that encased her legs like fish-netted sausages. Not your best look, girl.

Demi Moore must have borrowed this dress from her youngest... it just doesn't quite look right on her... but she's still the hottest MILF around.

Samantha Ronson and Lindsay Lohan hang in the audience at the VMAs. Check out that body language... could they be less enthused about being at the show Chillax, ladies!

Kanye West "forgave" MTV for snubbing him last year and closed the show with a dramatic (but underwhelming) performance.

Proud parents-to-be Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson take a break from the festivities to pose for quick snapshot. Will this go in the scrapbook as "Baby's First VMAs"

T-Pain amps up the crowd while Lil' Wayne tries not to lose his pants during their performance.

Britney Spears latest comeback bid was a little more successful than last year's: She didn't make a fool of herself and she won three moonmen. What a difference a year makes!

Seth Green and his Sex Drive costar Clark Duke get a little too close in the press room. What's with that face, Seth
