The VMA Nominations Were Announced This Morning And Beyoncé Was Nominated For Everything
You know Beyoncé is so pissed right now. She released a whole album’s worth of ~deep~ music videos, and all she gets are 8 crappy Video Music Awards nominations?!? She probably thought MTV would create a special Beyoncé-centric awards ceremony honoring her achievement in film called the MTV (in association with The Illuminati) Presents Creative Excellence in Moving Pictures: A Tribute to Her Majesty BEYONCÉ!!!
But it is nice of MTV to actually go along with the charade of releasing nominations and not just backing a dump truck full of moon man statues into Beyoncé’s driveway. That’s very thoughtful of them. UsWeekly has the whole list of nominations, but the important ones (aka BEYONCÉ’S NOMINATIONS!!! aka her future wins) are after the jump.

The only think more questionable than Beyoncé getting 8 nominations is that Miley Cyrus was given one for rubbing her bare possum poon on a wrecking ball and Terry Richardson for directing it.
Thank goodness the VMAs aren’t presented till the end of August, because Beyoncé needs plenty of time to think up a new publicity stunt. She announced her pregnancy at the 2011 VMAs, dry humped Jay-Z at the Grammys, showed her super-secret wedding video and alluded to Jay’s side piece during the “On The Run” tour. I’m thinking Stuntyoncé will divorce Jay-Z on stage, then reconcile with him during the Grammys, followed by getting re-married in a ceremony conducted by Solange in an elevator (she’s probably finding out how to become an ordained minister as we speak).
