Best VMAs ever? HARDLY, especially on the technical side. Between the distorted and often times missing audio, blurry camera images, whacky lighting, and continual jumping around from performance to performance there wasn't a cohesiveness to this years VMAs. By the time you got hyped about seeing Kanye or 50 there set was cut off to see Maroon 5 and Mark Ronson then it switched over to Lincoln Park etc etc. Musically I loved what Tim and most of the performers did but I just feel that MTV didn't give them the proper foundation technically to showcase their music the best way possible. In the end though hey it's the VMAs!!

Timbaland & Justin dissed by Britney

Our boy Timbaland is at it again with some choice words about his feelings for Britney Spears and how she "knows what she did wrong and should apologize." MTV continues to bring us Timbaland mania:

****Say what you will about the outcome, Britney Spears' VMA performance was one of the most-anticipated ones in years. But think how much bigger it would have been had it been billed as Spears taking the stage with former flame Justin Timberlake to perform together. Huge, right? Well, Timbaland — who claims to have nearly collaborated with the singer in the past — says Brit has quashed any chance of a JT collabo taking place anytime soon.

The super-producer told MTV News during VMA weekend that a prospective team-up between the two would be "the best thing that ever happened" and would "help her out a whole lot." But he then dismissed the possibility, saying in so many words that Brit has become big-headed and had dissed him and Justin. "It'll never happen. Nah. It could've, but it won't."

Timbaland previously said he got close to working with the singer, telling Entertainment Weekly in March, "I just want to take her away, go overseas and work [it] out. ... I asked Justin, 'How would you feel about me working with Britney?' ... 'Would you do it with me?' " Timbaland told the magazine that JT was willing to get involved at the time. "She's just gotta be serious."

Now Timbo has even more advice to give her about getting her career back on track. "She needs a story," he said. "She has no comeback story. That's the problem. She has to have a team. She needs to come back with Justin doing records; [then we'd see headlines like,] 'She went back to her ex and she's making smashes.' [But instead she got] so big-headed and [was] like, 'Screw you, screw you, I don't need nobody.' "

So is there any chance for Spears to rectify the situation and possibly work with Timberlake and Timbaland? Yes, says the super-producer — if she apologizes. "She should humble herself and make a phone call and say, 'I'm sorry.' She knows what she's sorry about," Tim said. "She needs to say, 'I was wrong,' and it'll definitely move forward. ... That's all she has to say.****

The video:



So now Tim got issues with Britney Spears?! Tim beefin' with everyone these days! Wow! Is this mystery conflict so big that it needs to be aired out on national television? Here's the biggest producer on the planet right now, and a grown man let's not forget, calling out the so called fallen pop queen for something that is so big it deserves an apology in order for them to work together.

Could it be that Tim is just mad because Britney said no to Tim and Justin and and just worked with Danja? Hmmm...

Timbaland talks with Ryan Seacrest

Here's a VERY interesting radio interview Timbo did with Seacrest where he talks about "The Way I Are", the VMAs, and his views on Britney's new track.

Timbaland talks to Ryan Seacrest

Times have definitely changed haven't they? A couple months ago Tim was talking about how he wanted to bring Britney back, how he felt sorry for her, how the public should leave her alone, and how he and Justin were going to work with her. There was even reports of Justin and Britney doing a Timbaland produced duet together.

Fast forward to present day and now Britney's new song is "ok", it isn't worthy of opening the VMAs (versus "crunk" music which Tim feels should open the show), she has no hype, and there is no way Britney, or anyone for that mattter, can compete with Timbaland aka "King Arthur." It also seems as though Tim isn't happy Danja and Britney worked together alone verus the whole "family" that included Justin and Timbaland.

Tim talks about Danja being one of his producers "under" him. Then he talks about how he groomed Danja for 3 years yet he continually points out how he hasn't heard the song and people aren't saying much about it. You haven't heard your #1 producer's, who's been under your tutelage for 3 years, new song with one of the most talked about celebrities in the world?

Seems as though the Tim and Danja collaboration days are coming to an end...

Timbaland at the VMA rundown

MTV talked with Timbaland about his feelings on the VMAs and here's what he had to say:

****"No award show will be able to beat this award show. I'm involved with it? I'm doing it? No other show this year will be able to see it," he boasted. "People are gonna be sick. The other shows are going to be coming up to me like, 'Timbaland, can you? ... No, I cannot. I will not.'

"I'm overseeing the music — the intros, outros, middle breaks," Tim — donning a waaay old-school white wig — explained Thursday (September 6) at the Palms Casino Resort. He was holed up in the Studio at the Palms, the resort's very own recording studio, where he — and other artists, like Lil Jon — have worked recently. "I did all the music [for the VMAs], so it could sound like a Timbaland production," Timbo said.

He played the MTV News crew a track he made specifically for the beginning of Chris Brown's set. It sounded like Middle Eastern swing meets a historically black college's marching band in a European nightclub ... mixed with some sound effects from a ColecoVision video game for good measure.

Speaking of surprises, Timbaland wasn't aware of Thursday's big news: that Britney Spears will open the extravaganza with a performance of her new single, "Gimme More." "We'll see," he said about how he thinks Britney will do. "Maybe she's got a point to prove."****

Good old Tim always keeping it humble ha! Yes Britney Spears will be opening the show with her Danja produced track "Gimmie More" which is everywhere these days. Criss Angel the magician will also be performing with Britney. You can check MTV for more details.

Now on some exclusive Chronicles news D.O.E will be joining Tim, Keri, and Sebastian for their performance at the VMAs. They will be closing the show with a melody of hits. Nelly Furtado will start with "Do It" adding Sebastian and D.O.E, then Timbaland and Keri will join in for "The Way I Are, and finally Justin Timberlake and Tim performing one of their hits, I'm not sure which one yet.

Remember Spetember 3rd!

Timbaland cancels 3rd leg of tour

Unfortunately due to "business issues" Tim will not be on the last leg of the Justin Timberlake tour when it comes back to the U.S. Sebastian just sent out this myspace bulletin:

****Timbaland will not be on the Justin Timberlake Tour due to business issues for the third leg. I just wanted to let those know who already have tickets and were expecting to see him. So we will not be on Tour but we will be in Vegas in the middle of August for a couple of weeks for the VMA's in Sept.

So if u will be in Vegas in August or the begining of Sept hit me up

Until then

Take Care

*sebastian*****

I'm not sure if that means Tim will be on the HBO/Timberlake special in early September which would be a big disappointment if not. I think all of his fans would love to have a HQ version of his live set from the concert.
