Lady Gaga swept the MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday night, winning a record eight moonmen trophies, including best video of the year.
The outrageous singer picked up the biggest prize of the night wearing an outfit sure to anger the PETA-crowd: a dress and chapeau that appeared to be made of cuts of meat.
Eminem opened the 2010 Video Music Awards with ”Not Afraid”.
Rihanna then joined Eminem with their hit single ”Love the Way You Lie”. It was rumoured that Rihanna would not show up for the appearance, but surprised everyone when Eminem transitioned into ”Love the Way You Lie” with Rihanna showing up.
Another larger-than-life diva from another generation presented Gaga with her trophy – Cher.
MTV officials said Gaga’s take was the most ever won at a VMA ceremony.
