MTV VMA's
Before the big event began there was drama when one of Nikki Manaj's dancers was bitten by a snake during rehearsals but it didn't stop there with Suge Knight being shot 6 times at Chris Brown's pre-VMA party and Iggy Azalea managing to fall off stage while performing Fancy at a pre-VMA event.
The red carpet had Katy Perry in denim and Taylor Swift in a onesie while Amber Rose left little to the imagination and many more. But it was business as usual with the ladies kicking the the show off with performances by Ariana Grande, Jesse J and Nicki Minaj who suffered an unfortunate near wardrobe malfunction. The show carried on with Taylor Swift performing her new song "Shake it Off" along with Sam Smith performing "Stay With Me" and Iggy Azalea and Rita Ora performing "Black Widow".
Awards went out to Drake for Best Hip-Hop Award along with many others but the evening came to an end with Beyonce performing songs off her new album for 20 minutes before being given the Vanguard award by her husband, Jay Z, and their daughter, Blue Ivy.
Emmy's

Behind the scenes of Anna Chlumsky, Kiernan Shipka, and Sofia Vergara getting ready for the show showed what it takes to get ready for such an event.
The ceremony kicked off with host Seth Meyers followed by Amy Poehler presenting the first award for "Best Onscreen Orgasm in a Civil War Reenactment" setting the tone for a fun filled night along with Weird Al performing a series of alternative TV openings. Awards went to Stephen Colbert for "Outstanding Writing in a Variety Series" which was hijacked by Jimmy Fallon, along with awards to The Big Bang Theory, Modern Family and Breaking Bad and many more.
