Gaga, Eminem top VMA nominees
MTV has gone gaga for Lady Gaga , showering the singer with a record
13 nominations for its upcoming Video Music Awards, the network
announced Tuesday. No artist in a single year has garnered more VMA
nominations. No slouch himself, Detroit rapper Eminem comes in with
eight nominations, including Video of the Year for "Not Afraid." In
that category, he squares off with Lady Gaga, nominated for both "Bad
Romance" and "Telephone" (with Beyoncé ), as well as 30 Seconds to
Mars' "Kings and Queens," B.o.B featuring Hayley Williams' "Airplanes"
and Florence + the Machine's "Dog Days are Over." Elsewhere, teen
sensation Justin Bieber is nominated for Best New Artist, alongside
Ke$ha , Jason Derulo , Nicki Minaj and Broken Bells . The MTV Video
Music Awards air live at 9 p.m. Sept. 12 from Los Angeles' Nokia
Theatre.
