OK I’m confused. I understand why British Superstar Lady Gaga is worthy of 9 MTV Video Music Awards, but what has Beyonce done lately to earn that many noms?

Lady Gaga was thrilled to learn she led the pack in nominations, but she’s probably scratching her head wondering why she’s going head to head with Bey.

After years of hustle in New York City, where we made our art videos in bars, myself and the Haus of Gaga are honored to receive nine nominations for the 2009 VMAs,” she said. “We believe in the immensity and the promise of ‘showbiz’ and will continue to give it mouth-to-mouth, till its vomiting return. All you need is a camcorder, a flashlight and one truly great idea. Thank you, MTV, for being our video flagship, and for supporting this bunch of inspired kids, who love to get wasted and make art together.”

On the other hand, Beyonce sounded like she’s been there done that (*Yawn*). “I’m excited and honored to be tied for most nominated for the VMAs,” Beyoncé said. Yeah, I bet you are. I’m just wondering how much daddy paid for each nomination. Or did he get a package deal?
