Maksim & Karina Exes Forced to Bump & Grind
Definition of AWKWARD: heartbroken Maksim Chmerkovskiy forced to perform in an extremely sexually charged dance routine with his ex-fiancee ... just days after Karina Smirnoff broke his heart.
We're guessing they agreed to perform their steamy Emmy number before they called off their engagement -- 'cause the amount of touching, thrusting and inner-thigh grabbing Maksim had to pull off with his ex ... could only have made him even sadder....
Hope You Enjoy the Emmys, Your Pats Suck
Red carpet interviews are for sissies.
We stopped Mark Wahlberg on his way to the Emmys -- in the middle of traffic, no less -- to talk a little smack about the NY Jets beating his beloved New England Patriots.
Losing was the theme of the day for Mark -- "Entourage" lost out to "30 Rock" for best comedy.

After a personal introduction from Madonna herself, a fully-clothed Janet Jackson took the stage at the MTV Video Music Awards to honor her late brother Michael.
In a routine reminiscent of Natalie Cole, Janet performed her part of the song "Scream" while a music video of Michael doing his part played in the background.

People You've Never Heard of Holding Emmys
Who wants to see Tina Fey holding her Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actress In A Comedy Series at last night's Creative Arts Emmy Awards when you can see Shigemi Ikeda holding his Emmy for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation?
Nerds are people too.

MTV -- Too Many Bitches, Not Enough Seats
What's the difference between the MTV Movie Awards and a high school cafeteria at lunchtime? Nothing.
The producers of the show had an insane time managing all the various egos and cliques while trying to make the seating chart for the show. For example, says the NY Post, Whitney Port once dissed "Twilight" and its star Kristen Stewart by saying the movie was "really bad" and Stewart was "one-dimensional" -- which means Stewart has one more dimension than Port.
Other alleged feuds include everyone on "The Hills" vs. Audrina Patridge, everyone on "The Hills" vs. Paris Hilton, and the Disney stars (Miley Cyrus, Zac Efron, etc.) vs. the Nickelodeon stars (Miranda Cosgrove and Keke Palmer).
None of these feuds have the juice of a Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie/Jennfier Aniston reunion, but a good bitch fight is always fun.

Parents Kill for Kids' Choice Awards Tickets
The Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards show today is the hottest ticket in L.A., bar none ... and you thought TMZ was the of sign Western civilization was crumbling.
We know people who know people who are going to the show this afternoon at Pauley Pavilion at UCLA. Connected parents have found it impossible to get tickets. These connected parents have called friends who are even more connected who can't get tickets. Those friends have had to call on even more connected friends ... get the picture?
It's so impossible to score a stub -- we're told parents who did get tickets had to go to a "secret location" yesterday to pick them up.
So why all the hubbub? Every actor in town is going, because in H-wood it's all about the demos. We're told a number of actors are dreading the event but know they have to show and will probably get slimed.
Hollywood is a tough town.
