MTV Shows

The 2009 MTV VMA nominations have been announced and the ladies are in the lead!
Beyonce and Lady Gaga tied for the top honors with nine nods each, while comeback kid Britney Spears scored seven! All three are up for the Video of the Year honor.

"I'm excited and honored to be tied for most nominated for the VMAs," Beyoncé says. "I've been blessed this year to have 'Single Ladies' become a video people really connected with and responded to. I've spent so much time watching all the great versions people created all around the world. It's beautiful to feel you touch people and bring a song to life with a video."

The awards, hosted again by comedian Russell Brand, will be broadcast live from NYC's Radio Music Hall on September 13, with performances by Taylor Swift and Pink.

"Last year I got to jump out of a window at the VMAs in L.A.," Pink said. "This year I can't wait to blow the roof off Radio City in New York."
