Washington23 - Breaking News and Updates

MTV announced today the nominees for the 2010 Video Music Awards. Lady Gaga walked away with a record breaking 13 nominations while rap icon Eminem garnered eight nods.
“I’m so honored for all the little monsters and self-professed freaks of the universe, to have more VMA nominations in a single year than any artist in MTV history,” gushed Gaga. “Ironically, I’m even more proud it’s an unlucky number: 13. A long time ago the world told me and my little monsters we would never be heard, together we changed the rules. God put me on Earth for three reasons: To make loud music, gay videos and cause a damn raucous. Thank you, MTV!”
The 2010 MTV Video Music Awards will air live Sept. 12th at 9 p.m. EST. Fans can go to VMA.MTV.com (or text VMA to 97979 if they are Verizon subscribers) to vote through September 12th. The full list of nominees after the jump. Who’s gonna get your vote?
