Ryan gets the boot

OK, I'm a fan of "Rockstar:Supernova," but can anyone tell me why there is always a look of shock when someone is named to the bottom three or when someone is booted?

Seriously. You know half of the remaining contestants will be at the bottom, and you know someone has to leave. There's only going to be one winner.

So, why the look of shock last night when Ryan was booted? Would there have been less shock if Storm or Dilana was given the axe?

I doubt it.

VMAs aren't what they used to be

MTV's Video Music Awards are on tonight. It's not what it used to be.

I don't recognize half of the names up there.

Some of those up for awards tonight are:

Chris Brown - Usher Jr., is that you?

Rihanna - A Beyonce look-alike that did an absolutely horrible lip-synch job at the Teen Choice Awards last week.

Panic! At The Disco - No idea who they are. I can tell you they have a bad band name though.

Three 6 Mafia - Funny - they won an Oscar, but probably won't win a VMA award.

Fort Minor - I wouldn't be able to ID him if he was standing next to me.

I guess it's ok when you think the awards are being given for best video, and not best talent or best song.

And what's up with the "Ringtone of the Year" category? Your choices are Kanye West's "Gold Digger," Nelly's "Grillz," Fort Minor's "Where'd You Go," Black Eyed Peas' "My Humps" and Bubba Sparxx "Ms New Booty."

Either I'm getting old, or I don't know anyone who would think about putting any of those on their phone. (Maybe it's both.)

Another question - Does MTV even play videos anymore?

At least Jack Black is hosting, and that may have some redeeming qualities to it.

I'll try and post my thoughts on the show tomorrow.
