Rap superstar Eminem, pop diva Lady GaGa, and a contrite Kanye West are all poised for a big night at Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards. Lady GaGa -- the 24-year-old star with a penchant for wild costumes -- is nominated 13 times for her videos. Among the big categories that could bring the "Telephone" singer a moonman are Best Female Video, Best Pop Video, and Video of the Year. Eminem leads all male artists at this year's ceremony with eight nominations. The rapper's "Not Afraid" video is up for awards in Best Male Video, Best Hip-Hop Video, Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, Best Direction, Best Editing, Best Special Effects, and Video of the Year categories. Eminem also will rock the stage, as he's slated to open the show with a performance.

Donald Trump says he'll spend big in order to quell controversy in the city he calls home.

"JERSEY SHORE" STAR REACTS TO JUDGE'S COMMENTS

Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi doesn't think her brush with the law puts her in Lindsay Lohan's league. People.com reports that the "Jersey Shore" star is reacting to criticism from New Jersey Judge Damian Murray, who referred to Polizzi in court on Wednesday as a "Lindsay Lohan wannabe," a reference to the troubled Hollywood star. Polizzi tells People.com, quote, "I definitely thought it was harsh. I never drank and drove, I don't do drugs -- I do nothing that Lindsay does, so it was definitely a little overboard." The Lohan comparison wasn't Judge Murray's only put-down. He also characterized Snooki's antics as "rude and self-indulgent" and questioned whether they were scripted for television, adding that if they were, Snooki needed to decide whether it was worth trading in her dignity for a paycheck.

Polizzi was taken into custody in Seaside Heights, New Jersey on July 30th after witnesses reported seeing the TV star in an intoxicated state. Judge Murray dismissed a disorderly conduct charge against the tanned defendant. Murray sentenced Snooki to two days of community service and a 500-dollar fine, plus 33-dollars in court costs.
