Along with the typical brouhaha at last night’s MTV Video Music Awards (more on that later!), there were also some hot-as-sin outfits on the red carpet. We’ve got consistent players like Beyoncé, a surprise hottie moment from Amanda Bynes, rookie-of-the-year Amber Rose, and a laughable moment that had Shakira and Pink rockin’ the same Balmain dress. And sorry, fetish fiends: No Lady Gaga this time—too much costume, not enough skin. So who was the hottest female of the night? See our picks for the 10 sexiest VMA women and cast your vote below…
September’s a month, 30 days it has, unlike some other months that have 31. And in those 30 days of September, some hot girls were born, and really, why read any more—let’s look at pictures of the 10 Hottest Girls Born in September…
After tearing his ACL and limping around for weeks, Drake appeared to be back to normal while performing “Best I Ever Had” for a sold out audience at one of this weekend’s America’s Most Wanted Music Festival stops. That is until he made a spin move that caused him to tear another ligament and collapse on stage (click here to check out our exclusive Drake tour diary from the night in question).
Knowing the severity of his injury, we just hope the kid gets better soon, because while sometimes it’s funny to laugh at people falling down, this injury could be costly for the young MC. Although he’s the latest, Drizzy’s not the first artist to take a spill at a concert, so while we wait for him to recover, check out (and feel free to laugh at) 15 other Memorable Stage Tumbles…
The highly anticipated video of LeBron James getting dunked on leaked Wednesday, despite Nike and LeBron’s attempts to keep it under wraps. In other weekly pop culture news, the Erin Andrews “peeping tom” video also leaked, gaining major exposure thanks to ESPN’s legal team. In both cases, the corporate push for surpression had the opposite effect, giving the videos the extra publicity they needed to go fully viral. This unintended effect happens so often on the Internet that it has an official name:
The Streisand Effect refers to “an Internet phenomenon where an attempt to censor or remove a piece of information backfires… [and] instead of being suppressed, the information receives extensive publicity, often being widely mirrored across the Internet, or distributed on file-sharing networks (Wikipedia).”
See you learn a new term everyday. Hit the jump for the Complex’s history of the Streisand Effect, when censorship failed, and everyone got a look, listen, and feel of the supposedly “banned” content…
B’s original version was good enough (just look at that preview image), but a classic ’Ye cameo puts it over the top. “Ego (Remix),” which premiered last night on BET’s Access Granted, is today’s video of the day. Good morning!
When it comes to reality TV, there’s no bigger rabble-rouser than Spencer Pratt. Fully embracing his role as The Hills P.E. #1, Pratt has parlayed his notoriety into becoming a tabloid staple. Although Complex has never been into the gossip-game, we were kinda psyched when we heard SP (The Ghost) was getting into rapping and—it’s Spencer, after all—throwing some of your favorite artists under the bus. (Sorry, Asher.)
Never one to stir the pot (ah ha!), we spoke to Spencer while he was on his way to shoot guns with wifey Heidi—good practice for an aspiring MC. Read on to see how he and his wifey Heidi plan to outdo Jay-Z and Beyoncé, why Roth doesn’t stand a chance against him, and how Brody as a hypeman would damage his street cred…
Obsessed—a flick about a super-successful Wall Street type (Idris Elba) with a super-sexy wife (Beyoncé) who becomes the stalking target of a super-psycho temp (Ali Larter) at his office—opens this weekend. Look, we know there’s an element of disbelief suspension involved with moviemaking, but if we were hitched to Beyoncé and had a little cash on hand, we’d hire somebody to go a little Stringer Bell on the 7:30 temp that was threatening our perfect life. Just sayin’.
Not that we’re gonna miss Obsessed this weekend just because of a perceived plot issue. You see, we’re just a little (obvious segue alert!) obsessed with Beyonce ourselves. Whether you’re an ass man, a breasts man, a legs man, a face man, Bey’s got a little something for everybody (unless you’re an ugly ass/breasts/legs/face man). And to kick your weekend off right, we present Beyonce’s Hottest Pics, ever, ever, ever…
Yeah, it ain’t a country, but a lot of Texans wanna secede and a lot of the rest of us wouldn’t mind if they did, so there you go. Worldwide Wednesday: Texas Edition.
The Lone Star State’s on our mind this week for a couple reasons. One, the habitually slept on Friday Night Lights with Minka Kelly (above) starts its third season on Friday, and two, next Tuesday the state gets its village idiot back from Washington. To celebrate these two developments, we present the hottest women in that hot state’s history.
Beyonce killed it last night at the underwhelming AMA's. B almost popped a titty out and everything!

Ever since she was pretending not to be a solo act in Destiny’s Child, she’s been making it acceptable for women to dog men in public. Equal rights activists that we are, Complex won’t stand for it, so we’re calling out her for her five most man-hating singles. Man up, grab your nuts and check out the hate…
