MTV's Video Music Awards have gotten shittier and shittier the last few years, but some of the rumors I've heard about this year's awards make me definitely want to tune in. The most exciting is that Madonna may be introducing Janet Jackson as the opening act.

Janet is said to be performing an EPIC tribute to her late brother, Michael Jackson. And in more Jackson related news, a trailer for the movie This Is It, which shows Jackson's final rehearsals, will premiere at the awards.

Some might say it's a bit too much Jackson, but for the man who is largely responsible for MTV's growth in the early 80's, I think it's more than appropriate.

Other performers will include Beyonce, Lady Gaga (both lead the pack with 9 nominations), Taylor Swift and Green Day. While me may not see Eminem eating balls again, I'm sure some kind of crazy antics will take place.

The VMA's are live Sunday, September 13 at 9PM ET. I just realized this conflicts with the season finale of True Blood! What to do!? Which will you be watching?
