2012 MTV VMA recap with complete list of winners

The hippest event in all of television went off without a hitch last night as the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards was able to wrap up its two-hour show just in time for President Barak Obama’s scheduled speech at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte.

Kanye West and Lady Gaga were not in attendance, host Kevin Hart kept things relatively uncontroversial, and Taylor Swift was able to retain her microphone. The result was a rather tame (by VMA standards) but very entertaining two hours that saw One Direction take home three Moon Men including Best New Artist, Chris Brown winning Best Male Video for “Turn Up the Music,” Nicki Minaj winning Best Female Video for “Starships” and Rihanna taking the top prize of Video of the Year for “We Found Love.”

Keep reading for a recap of the night’s festivities including a complete list of winners and performances!

PHOTOS Rihanna’s Egyptian falcon tattoo inspired by Met Museum artifact?

Rihanna took to Twitter Friday night to share a couple photos of her latest bit of skin art from New York City’s tattoo artist to the stars, Bang Bang. The tat, located on the outside of the singer’s left ankle, is a depiction of an Egyptian falcon that many have said resembles the shape of a gun. But, that would be kind of hard considering as how it appears to be almost an identical copy of a 2,300-year-old Egyptian artifact at the Metropolitan Museum of Art! Keep reading for the photos to decide for yourself, and brush up on a bit of ancient art history.

Every single Rihanna quote from Battleship

The sci-fi action film Battleship (loosely based on the famous peg board game) premiered this weekend and has been getting fairly bad reviews from critics and moviegoers alike. But, the general consensus is that Rihanna handled what she was given pretty well in her big screen debut! And what was she given, you may ask? Basically a lengthy list of one-liners that included exclamations (“Go, go, go!”), Navy speak information (“Tango 1-9, loaded.”), and top brass lass sass (“What’s wrong with you drama queen?”). Keep reading for a complete list of everything Rihanna said in the movie including a few handy dandy photo illustrations to make it more fun! In the words of Rihanna, “Oh, this gon’ be sweet!”

TWITTER BOMBSHELL Rihanna tweets photo that isn’t sexual at all!

I would argue that no Twitterlebrity has dropped more sexy, or sex-themed images on the internets than Rihanna. Back in the day she invited us all to stand under her Umbrella but now there’s no dang room what with the 450-billion images of her in all sorts of provocative poses and outfits.

I think RiRi has over-saturated the market with her own self-published “hot pics of Rihanna” which I never thought was possible but girl has been relentless! All of this is to say that it was actually a surprise when the woman who recently boasted (via Twitter of course) that she could turn a woman bi, actually posted a mysterius IV photo that is in no way sexy.

Rihanna shares nip slip photos (and a million bikini pics) of herself on Facebook

Does anyone else get the impression that Rihanna would just as soon dispense with the formality of clothing altogether? The less of her body the 24-year-old singer has covered the happier she – as wells as millions of young men – seems to be. As further evidence of the Rihanna diminishing attire/increased happiness correlation theory, check out how enthusiastic she is in these photos from her trip to Hawaii a few months ago in which she wears a variety of teeny tiny bikinis. Rihanna shared the pictures (more than 70 total) on Facebook this weekend, including a couple nip slips and one in which she safe-for-workishly removes her top entirely while swimming under a waterfall (with no umbrella-ella-ella).
