The annual MTV Video Music Award nominations were announced yesterday, and Beyonce and Lady Gaga led the pack with nine each. Their thank-you speeches, however, were ridiculous in their different ways. "I've been blessed to have Single Ladies become a video people really connected with," wittered Beyonce.

"It's beautiful to feel you touch people." And Gaga gave us this: "We believe in the immensity and the promise of showbiz and will continue to give it mouth-tomouth till its vomiting return." No, we don't know either.
