Lady GaGa To Open 2011 MTV Awards

The planners of the 2011 MTV VMA may have just shot themselves in the feet by selecting Lady GaGa to kick off the annual event. The visual icon will open the show which airs live at 9pm ET on August 28th from  Los Angeles' Nokia Theatre.

Why is this a problem for MTV? The lineup of performers is hardly exciting with very few interesting names, including Adele and Chris Brown, featured on the bill. Furthermore, GaGa is undoubtedly the most popular act who will appear on the show so after her set is complete there is little incentive for her legions of fans to continue watching.

Chelsea Handler on 50 Cent: ‘We Had Sex. It Was Fun’

 

Did 50 Cent meet his match in  Chelsea Handler? She always seems to talk about him in a way that alludes that he was the one chasing her down and she eventually took a test drive with the 'magic stick' before sending it back to the dealer.

After months of denying that she and 50 cent were anything more than 'casual friends', Chelsea  revealed that they had sex, at least once. She tellsEsquire:

"[50 Cent and I ] were friends. We're not friends really anymore. I haven't spoken to him in a while… we had sex. It was fun."

Earlier this year, while speaking with Piers Morgan, Chelsea downplayed her involvement with 50 Cent as just 'sampling the atmosphere'

Nothing happened, you know, he's a very sweet, nice guy, but obviously, I was just sampling, kind of, the atmosphere and seeing what was out there.

In December, US Weekly reported that Chelsea left 50 Cent heartbroken after dumping him just before the holidays. He allegedly sent her gifts but she sent them back with a note that said, 'I can buy my own gifts'. Of the incident, she told Pier Morgan:

I don't really like gifts from rappers in general since I'm not a hooker. I don't like when men buy me ridiculous gifts especially when I don't know them well. I can buy my own gifts."
