Celebrity Breakups

Last night in Las Vegas, the focus switched from gambling to the “Moonman” as MTV dished out a bevy of awards during their annual Video Music Awards. Who were the big winners? Keep reading!

Of course the resident media darling Justin Timberlake garnered some more decorations for his mantle, taking home the awards for “Quadruple Threat of the Year” and “Male Artist of the Year.”

She was all set to wow America and the World over with her comeback performance of “Gimme More” at the MTV Video Music Awards. But did Britney Spears bring her A-game, or was it more of a “Gimme Less” moment?

The Toxic singer opened the 2007 VMAs live from Las Vegas with a declaration that she had, indeed, arrived. “It’s Britney, B**ch!” resonated throughout the venue as a Euro-pop-ish drum sequence initiated the “Gimme More” groove.

The Venice Film Festival is such a momentous occasion. And this year, Tim Burton was awarded a career Golden Lion award for his accomplishments in film.

Most appropriately, Johnny Depp, a frequent leading man in Burton’s films, was chosen to present the director with his award. He told press, "It's a very big honor to present Tim with this award. He is my favorite director and a very close friend."

In a star studded event, Nelson Mandela was recently honored at a high profile charity ball held in his name in Monaco. Mandela was personally welcomed by Price Albert, who gave a speech praising the man affectionately known as Madiba for his tireless fight against poverty, AIDS and crime.

Joining Prince Albert in honoring Mandela were celebrities from across the globe, with a quick snapshot including: Bono from U2, supermodels Naomi Campbell, Petra Nemcova, and Victoria Silvstedt, and US actor Morgan Freeman.
