No, I didn't go to the MTV Awards, but Richard from the L.A. Times Las Vegas Blog "Moveable Buffet" sort of live blogged the event (we would've liked more posts). Apparently Britney Spears was laughed at for her performance of new song "Gimme More".
While Brtiney's lack luster dancing was getting all the ink, something much more noteworthy had occurred at the Hard Rock the night before. A 50 Cent performance led to some rain making and the stage nearly collapsed. He walked off the stage to literally save the stage (and especially the fans) because the crowd wouldn't leave the water as directed and were about to get electrocuted should the stage fall into the pool. Here are some links about it, and yes, we found a way to talk about it for the travel blog.

Yes, the 50 Cent save was more interesting than Kid Rock punching Tommy Lee, too.
