Miley vs Nicki: are the VMAs destroying girl power?

The VMAs are a total celebrity fest and so that means when you have hundreds and thousands of celebrity’s all cozying up together, getting all personal, there will definitely  most likely be a brawl, a bust up or a broken heart At the end of the night and this year didn’t fail to deliver.

Although Kanye Wests crazy presidential announcement probably did take the  cake for craziest outburst, Nicki Minaj and Miley Cyrus were also the talk of the show after a few stern words (I imagine this is what both their publicists are saying) were shared between the two, as Minaj picked up her award.

To be honest….do I think it was staged? Probably. 

Do I think the audience like a little drama?Definitely.

But does this ‘spat’ between the two kind of signify that these award shows are seriously doing but encouraging women to compete with each other?

I always had a problem with these shows, they were funny and sometimes people got covered with weird stuff but it was always popularity contest. Always a place to see who you could make fun of, or who had the best dress, I never really cared about the music. So these award shows kind of made way for the me, the press, other people to pit these people against other …

Magazines are famous for these ‘hot or not’ coloumns or ‘who looked the best at the VMAs’ kind of articles, and it seems to me that this is where we find the real winners, the celebrities who are get that little 5 minutes extra of fame.

So it kind of become a way of putting women against each other in order to make celebrities and magazines happy, the classic who wore better, is a multi million dollar machine.

 Oh and about this whole thing of  Nicki, calling Miley a bitch in front of the whole world, doesn’t really do much for girl power, does it?

Sigh, maybe it’s time we moved this to the radio? Huh?
