Awards Shows
VMAs Hottest Moments

VMAs rock NY: Click to launch galleryThe biggest names in music rocked Radio City Hall in New York last night for the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards. While some critics have already panned the show as one of the worst in years, you can't blame the stars.

A leather clad Beyoncé rocked the house with her new single "Ring The Alarm," Shakira gyrated all over the place in belly dancing garb and Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz even brought a monkey to the red carpet.

Check out TMZ's gallery of the hottest people, moments and on stage performances from the evening. It might be easier than sitting through the three-and-a-half hour show again.

46. I truly disagree with you guys. Beyonce did her thing! I was so impressed. I think that she brought a total different flavor to the song ring the alarm. I actually can relate to the song with the daily struggles us women have to go through. I thought her outfit was fine. Its amazing how we bash people just becuase. I have seen alot worse and I mean a lot worse but for some reason whatever Beyonce do is still never good enogh for some people. I guess that's just life, you cant please everyone. Even though I love Jack Black, I felt that his style of comedy didn't go very well at the VMA's but the next time, if he is chosen, I know that he will do an awesome job. And as far as the Gangsta situation, if you dont' like the style of clothing, just dont buy it for yourself. Who are you to judge what type of jewelry or style of dress anyone choses? Put more focus on how the world looks at you.

47. the highlight: the exercise mill.
most confident, natural producers: JLo & Axl Rose & that's scary.
everyone else seemed unnatural or nervous & it is my guess they know they suck & are having an insecure moment on live television.
I have never even heard of half of the untalented group of winners. The performances were weak & the comedians were so scripted they lost any sense of clever witty commentary.
overall it was like buying mcdonalds w/ a morton's pricetag.

50. Sherry if you really are black, you must be one of those black people in the world who also don't believe racism still exists. You probably think that racial profiling doesn't exist and that what happened in N.O. with Katrina had nothing to do with race. It's just a free and equal world for all right? You're most likely one who walks with a blindfold on. Let's be clear about this shall we? To say that "I'm sick of seeing the same crap on MTV" is one thing - that's not racist. To say Hip Hop (which, remember, is comprised of mostly black people) and "gangstas" with their "bling" are ruining MTV is racist as hell. If you can't see that then maybe you need to go back and check your true ethnicity a bit more because black you are not. Not trying to be cruel to you but I had to tell you like it is. If anything MTV is going downhill fast because of the crooked crap that goes on behind closed doors. They play the same videos continuously as if they are being paid to do so. So if you want to place blame, place it on the suits behind the scenes.

52. Pinks win for "Stupid Girls" was a plus moment for me--especially when she mocked Paris and/or Jessica when she accepted her moon-man!

hilarious!

I'm sure those dim-wits didn't even get it though!

stupid girls!

53. to number 48 if you think she is what you call her and can't stand her then why are you posting up pictures and wasting your time talking about her? i mean honestly, beyonce did what she does best, she made the haters talk, which are her biggest cheerleaders, the more ya'll hate, the better she does, and the more ya'll hate the more i love her, because she's not like the rest, she's a sweet lady, with an awesome voice, and a force to be reckoned with. so ya'll can keep hating, go and keep calling her all the things, i don't care, because she's going to up the ante another 50% that performance was just for ya'll thank you for hating on her, because she just killed the performance, and made all her fans proud to be part of the bee mafia.

54. oh and about jessica simpson wearing that black dress, that was defitnely going out to nick. she was totally wearing that for him, it's like you have vanessa but this is what you're missing out on. it doesn't matter who filed for the divorce, i like nick and jessica, but the divorce wasn't even finalized and here goes nick with a snob diva vanessa, so i think jessica wore that dress for revenege, she doesn't ahve pretty legs at all, but that was just for nick. just like when princess diana came out in a slammin' black dress the night after charles said he's been sleeping with camilla, she wore that dress as revenge showing him what he'll be missing out on, and that she's not crying over what he did. so go jess!

55. I too thought the vmas really sucked. jack black horrible host!!!! horrible jokes! i actually thought they were gonna be good b/c there back in ny apparently not. miami sucked so much but so did this one. the performances were pretty ok i think. but i must say the best vmas were 2003 with chris rock as the host!! awesome and i love him!! i know he hosted the 1999 awards too but his jokes in `03 were sooo great!

56. Does she know that we can see her poo poo?

57. Beyonce's a beautiful woman, and I think her career turned for the sexual, instead of what it could have been. It seems she let go of who God really is and praises her own God. This woman could be a big movie star, doing classy films, without selling her body (which is beautiful and should be reserved for God and whoever her husband should be ) But yeah, the awards show...was very un-entertaining, very strange in fact.

58. I don't know about everyone else, but seeing Missy Elliott driving that small car with wearing a plastic bag was funny as hell.

59. Jack Black stunk up the place. He was horrible. He sucked!

60. i like the vma's EXCEPT...when missy came out in that stupid car.(toy car) she looked ridiculous
...the band that was playing throughout the show....the skit by britney & k-fed....that silverman chick making fun of bass and giving stupid advice she was annoying not worth hearing..
...jack black as a host (too much caffeine)......the performance by panic at the disco song he sounded awful...
