2010 Much Music Video Awards - Inside the Press Room

Well another Much Music Video Awards has surpassed us and as per usual, they rocked the corner of 299 Queen St W. like it was nobody's business. From the very moment I got there, the crowds were extremely intense. People of all ages swarmed to catch a glimpse of Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber do last minute sound checks before they went off to get themselves prettied up for cameras. There were girls screaming and even crying when they saw little J-Biebz hit the stage! From what I was able to hear though, they are both extremely talented, young individuals who know how to rock out - from their dance moves to their voices - and from what I could tell, it was going to be an amazing show!

 I only caught glimpses of the awards in parts because I was in the Q&A lounge inside the Much building, where there was constant flow of celebs coming and talking after they hit the MMVA stage. The lounge itself was incredible. Journalists from all over were mingling around, talking to each other, or setting up their computers and notepads,all ready to talk to some of the worlds biggest celebrities in entertainment.

Being new to this scene (the scene I REALLY want to get into), I have to admit, I was a little starstruck...at first. Once I calmed down a bit and really (and I mean reallllllllly) realized they were just people, then I was able to get down to business! It was such an incredible night and there were so many talented people who were in the building and it honestly was just one big party!!

Due to the fact that there were so many of us in the room, it wasn't always easy to get the mic to ask a question. I was determined to get at least a couple in though and in the end I was fortunate enough to talk to Kellan Lutz, Ashley Greene, and Xavier Samuel (who as you all must know are stars in the up-coming summer blockbuster The Twilight Saga: Eclipse) as well as those lovely boys who I adore so much, Marianas Trench. All of them were so easy to talk to and nice which definitely made it easier for me. In the end it also made a lot more confident in the fact that I CAN and WILL do this.

The list of celebs who attended the MMVAs is just too long to say them all but what I can tell you is the ones who came up to talk to the press! So after a long day we heard the experiences and excitement from the following: Nina Dobrev (The Vampire Diaries), Snooki and Pauly D (Jersey Shore), Jonathan Toews (Blackhawks captain and 2010 Stanley Cup and Gold Medal Winner), The Twilight Crew, Jackson Rathbone and Nicola Peltz (The Last Airbender. Jackson is also in Twilight), Bedouin Soundclash, Belly, Stereos, Shenae Grimes (90210), JLS, Emily Osment (Hannah Montana), Cast of the Buried Life, Leah Miller (SYTYCDC), Whitney Port (The City), Hedley,  Charlotte Arnold (Degrassi: The Next Generation), Marianas Trench, Blake McGrath (SYTYCDC), Miley Cyrus, and Justin Bieber!

Overall, it was an amazing experience and I have Much Music to thank for that! I look forward to being able to cover next year's MMVAs and hopefully it will be just as fun as this year!!
