YESTERDAY, THE WORLD was so consumed with Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke’s performance at the MTV VMAs that everything else that went on was somewhat overlooked.
It’s understandable, really. We all needed at least 24 hours to process Mileygate.
However, there were some other key moments in the ceremony.
1. Lady Gaga’s bum
Lady Gaga performance of her new single Applause included twelve costumes changes.

She kept the shell bikini on for the rest of the show, which meant that everyone got a good look at her arse. Especially Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez and Janelle Monae who were sitting beside her.
