Hollywood hairstylist Ken Paves refused to primp Britney Spears‘ hair for Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards.

Spears had contacted Paves asking him to do her hair for her ‘big comeback’ and Paves initially agreed. He even flew to Las Vegas to meet with Spears but backed out last minute causing her to scramble for another hairdresser. She found one, but then fired her after a backstage spat.

Maybe that’s why her hair sucked so bad.  But why the hell did she wait until the last minute anyhow?

Paves says about the incident, “I made the professional decision not to do her hair.”

Tommy Lee wants to apologize to Alicia Keys for his scuffle involving Kid Rock at the MTV VMAs. Apparently the fight between the two broke out during her performance.

Lee explained his side of the story on his website:

“Here I am minding my own, having a great time with my friend Criss Angel and watching the MTV awards in the front row… Pamela comes and sits on my lap, who I love and adore… I get a tap on the shoulder form Kid Pebble. I stand up and embrace him with a semi-hug and say, ‘Hey dude, what up?’ He punches me in the face…more like a bitch slap! Anyway, I go to knock this jealous no-career havin’ country bumpkin the f**k out… and before I can have a meeting with my fist and his ugly-ass mug, security guards at the Palms grab me and haul my ass outta the award show threatening me that if I move they’ll break my arm.

Anyway… I would like to apologise to Alicia and… MTV for the disrespectful bulls**t caused by a piece of s**t called Kid Pebble!”

Ok, my bad for initially thinking Tommy may have started this one. I was wrong. It was just so hard picking between the two morons!

Pamela Anderson and Kanye West the the 2007 VMAs

Kanye West is mad at everyone after the MTV Video Music Awards Show on Sunday.

First he was ranting and raving backstage about not winning an award. Nothing shocking, he is known for being a big baby. But now he has continued his rant, even after sleeping on it, and is only getting pissier.

Now he is unleashing on MTV saying that he feels that he and Britney Spears were exploited by MTV.

“They exploited Britney in helping to end her career,” West told Z100 on Monday.

“When Britney was opening, near the end, I felt so bad for her. I said, ‘Man, it’s a dirty game. This game will chew you up and spit you out.’”

(Listen to the interview here.)

Kanye has vowed to never return to MTV. He has even canceled upcoming appearances including one on TRL.
West is also upset that he had to perform in a suite and not the main stage. (Which I have to admit I hated that whole concept as well..)

“I wasn’t mad that I just didn’t win any awards. For me, they made it seem like performing on the main stage was a bad thing, and the suites were just so great. It was my dream when I made ‘Stronger’ to open up the VMAs with a real power performance. And I just feel like I got betrayed by them. I feel like they tried to make it seem like I was so into everything that was going on in the show.”

West’s rant does not end there. In fact, he has a bone to pick with Pamela Anderson too.Before West performed “Good Life” from the suite he was so fond of, Anderson blurted to viewers, ”

One of the best times I’ve ever had was making out with the next performer in the middle of the desert. I think I had my tongue so far down his throat I could taste his fiancée – and I might need a repeat performance later tonight.”

West responded today saying,

“I’m engaged, and I feel like it’s disrespectful to my relationship.”

He says he was assured by MTV that it would not happen.  Hasn’t he ever seen the MTV VMAs before?

Let me warn you if you haven’t seen Britney Spears and her opening act at the MTV Video Music Awards. It’s BAD.

Britney is so NOT into what she is doing. She seems to have no energy..no spring in her step. She can’t even lip-sync well! In the beginning of the video it looks as though she almost loses her balance. She seems out of it. Like she took a pain killer and washed it down with a double shot of whiskey.

The one and only good thing I can say about her is her hair looked better than it has this entire year, but I know that’s not saying much!!

Britney Spears at 50 Cent’s record release party at The Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas

Britney Spears doesn’t seem to be worried about whether or not she will wow everyone at the opening of this years MTV Video Music Awards.

Britney hung out with fellow party girl Paris Hilton, as well as P. Diddy and 50 Cent after checking out Cirque du Soleil’s Mystere show.  She hit at least three Vegas clubs, dancing, drinking and partying until after 3 am.

Will all the cigarettes booze and late nights compromise her performance tonight?  My guess is that she will lip-sync, and that no, it will not jump start a comeback for her.

Amy Winehouse and her new husband had quite the fight just hours after her performance at the 2007 MTV Movie Awards.

British newspaper the Daily Mirror obtained photos of the argument between Winehouse and Blake Fielder-Civil outside Hollywood’s five-star Sunset Marquis Hotel.

A source tells the Daily Mirror, "As soon as they walked into the lobby they started screaming at each other. Amy was shouting: ‘You always f**king do this! Don’t f**king touch me! F**k you! They were on the curb for over an hour, sobbing and talking. They looked exhausted by the time they finally went to their room."

"She was in tears but Blake tried to walk away. It wound her up so much she pushed him in a hedge."

Amy had a bad night at the MTV Music Awards. Sources say that she seemed to have a hard time walking a straight line was leaning on her husband as they strolled across the red carpet..

Amy sang Rehab and was booed by the crowd. Reportedly Cameron Diaz, Victoria Beckham and Sacha Baron-Cohen were among those giving her hell.
