The Gossip

Taylor Swift continued her trend of taking digs at her ex boyfriend One Direction member Harry Styles.  She back-handedly thanked the 1D star for their failed romance, after she received the award for Best Female Video at the VMAs.

Taylor was given the award for her song I Knew You Were Trouble, which was allegedly penned with Mr. Styles in mind. After being presented with her astronaut trophy by Pharrell Williams and Daft Punk, Taylor took the opportunity to take a swipe at her teenage ex boyfriend, 'I want to thank the fans because I tweeted about this a lot, I really wanted this' she said, she then goes on to add ' I also want to thank the person who inspired this song because he knows exactly who he is, because now I've got one of these', Awkward. The camera quickly panned to a awkward and slightly embarrassed looking Harry Styles. But this wasn't the only odd moment for Taylor, One Direction presented the award for Best Pop Video, and when the boys walked on stage, Taylor apparently mouthed the words 'Shut the f*** up'. It's unclear if those were her actually words, but she's consistent with her swipes at poor old Harry.

NSYNC ARE BACK – NO OTHER WORDS NEEDED!!

Ed Sheeran and Ellie Goulding. She's rumoured to be dating Niall Horan from One Direction,  but last night saw Ellie Goulding and Ed Sheeran getting very close with each other!! Ed may share the stage with Taylor Swift, but when he's in the audience, he's got another blonde on his arm. Ed was seen getting touchy with pop star Ellie Goulding at the VMAs, but this Public display of affection doesn't mean they are an item!! Oh no.

Ed, 22 and Ellie 26, were caught a couple of times on camera getting a little cosy with one another. One instance, Ed has his hand on Ellie's leg and in another shot, the two are seen holding hands. Since then Ellie has tweeted that this is apparently what friends do!!

Miley Cyrus! As if she hasn't shocked us enough as of late, she's only gone and done it again!! The star has well and truly ditched her Disney image. Miley Cyrus performed her hit single 'We Can't Stop' at the VMAs with a parade of giant bears. The ex Disney star performed her racy song, in a silver sequined leotard, with an image of a bear on it. After 'We Can't Stop,' Robin Thicke, Kendrick Lamar and 2 Chainz took to the stage and performed 'Blurred Lines' with Miley. 

She twerked her way around the stage, wearing a flesh-toned plastic bikini with a foam 'We're No.1' hand, whilst gyrating on Robin Thicke which shocked the star-studded audience including the Smith family, Will, Jada, Jaden and Willow were showed looking on in shock!! It was defiantly one of the night's most talked-about moment. With many expressing shock, specifically the Smith family, their reaction was caught on camera, and it is brilliant, and others applauding the singers wild antics. We get she's trying to ditch the good girl image, but is this the right way to go about it??

The Outfits.

Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus are three of the biggest females pop stars in the world, so it's no surprise that these three were determined to make their own individual stamp in the fashion stakes.

The trio chose three very different outfits for this event. Gaga opted for non-eccentric black PVC evening gown, which was quite tame for Gaga, as we are so use to seeing her in garish, over the top outfits. However the singer did show of a lot of cleavage as she arrived at the Barclay's Center in New York.

Mean while, Katy Perry was seen wearing a leopard dress complete with gold dragonfly detailing and a thigh-hit slit. Katy teamed her distinctive dress with black and gold sandal and hair tied into a high ponytail for the event. Katy was also seen sporting a pair of multi-coloured grills just to complete her outfit.

However Miley Cyrus rocked up on the red carpet in a pair of high waisted leggings embellished with colour beading and a cropped top to match, showing the young singers toned stomach. Miley wore her hair in what only can be described as pigtail buns. The singer changed her outfit to a much a more revealing number as she performed with Robin Thicke, which was greeted by gasps from the star-studded audience.

Other stars on the red carpet were Taylor Swift who was channeling her inner Marilyn Monroe, with her hair done in delicate blonde curls and her statement red lip. Completing the country singer's old Hollywood '50s ensemble was a black gown featuring a plunging neckline.

Ellie Goulding opted for a white and silver spiky dress for the event. Whilst Rita Ora wore a disastrous Long feather trained with a jeweled top with a plunging neckline! The One Direction boys, kept it smart/casual but still looking gorgeous.

But some stars went to the extreme and instead opted for trashy, tacky frocks and flashing their flesh and the MTV Video Music Awards last night.

Ex-Victoria's Secret model Erin Wasson, just wore a mesh dress covering her underwear. Whilst pop star Selena Gomez opted for a unbuttoned floor length gown, complete with a cut out bustier. Whilst Lil Kim wore a shiny, holey cut out jumpsuit with garish yellow boots!

Tune in to MTV tonight at 9pm to watch all the action.
