Hurricane Katrina shot Suge Knight.

Oh, MTV. You suck so hard.

In today's NY Times, MySpace co-creator Tom Anderson discusses the prospects for his company's new record label: "It's kind of like, who cares about MTV anymore?" Who cares about MTV anymore? Stereogum readers do! Right? I'm gonna liveblog this shit until I get bored...

7:55: Pre-show action! Fall Out Boy perform. Sway likes their "energy." Suchin looks hot interviewing Fiddy. Gideon Yago isn't emo anymore? Loder looks sweaty.

8:00: Green Day open the show with "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams." Big surprise: they're wearing all black. Wonder if Diddy will wear all white?

8:02: I walk alone ... I walk alone .... Green Day are up for a ton of awards tonight including Best Punk Opera Act and Best Use Of Eyeliner In A Music Video. Oooh -- check out the anti-war pyrotechnic display.

8:05: It's our host, P. Diddy! He's jumped into a digital pool. Waterfall effects. Looks like it's raining on the audience. Pouring one out for my homies in the French Quarter...

8:07: Diddy strokes his ego to what sounds like Frankie Goes To Hollywood.

8:09: Now a bunch of Diddies dance (or are they krumping?) to "Hollaback Girl." Gwen's in the audience; she looks pissed.

8:10: L. Lo and Nelly (one of them is wearing a Batman tanktop -- I'll let you guess which one) give out the first awards. Wait, no monologue at all? We want Suge Knight jokes! Couldn't they have gotten Steve Carell?

8:12: Kanye and Kelly Clarkson win something... Hmmm ... I'm sorta bored ... Gonna see if Law & Order: Criminal Intent is on. I'll be back, promise.
