What a load of pants. No, really, between Katy and Beyonce there were a lot of pants on display in Berlin last night. And basques / suspenders / garters. And strangely modified footie kits...
Katy, just to let Russell - and the rest of the planet - know that she was thinking of him, poured her "booby things" into porn themed West Ham strip (West Ham being Brand's favourite team). Just in case this proclamation of love wasn't made known to those not watching the telly, Russell also Tweeted about it: "Now MY GIRLFRIEND has worn a West Ham basque while hosting the EMA's. What a day! I might revive Gandhi and ask if he wants to be mates."
As it happens, HIS GIRLFRIEND KATY PERRY WHO HOSTED THE EMA'S, changed her outfit the grand total of ten times. But who was keeping count. The garb ranged from tangerine net ball gowns, to an array of burlesque themed regalia complete with fishnet stockings, velvet jackets, bowler hats, feathers, garters, nipples which lit up on demand, the usual fare.
Unfortunately, WENN haven't provided pictures of all ten outfits (the 3AM Girls in the Mirror do, however), so instead we'll leave you with the photos of the arrivals and the press room, where the likes of Jesse Metcalfe's eyebrows; Pete Wentz's olifactory factory; the Jonas's's's uber-shiny suits; David Hasselhoff's pan stick fetish; the prettiest person called Bill I've ever seen; Lil Kim's boobs; Juliette Lewis's sexy boots; Brody Jenner's drinking habits all got a look in. You can also see Joss Stone going into the pressroom for a laugh. She was probably tickled by the length of Steve Forrest's arms. Oh, and there's a few of U2 performing with Jay Z at the Brandenburg Gate, too.
Woooo! Silly me, almost forgot to post the winners names. Like it matters. Beyonce won three. Lady GaGa, who was nominated for five, only won one (she declined to turn up.) Kings of Leon won none etc, etc. Some European acts even managed to win awards.

As for what Katy said? Here is an example of one of her quips: "They say if a guy has big shoes they have big... The confusing thing is I borrowed this shoe (forgot to mention she was sitting in a large shoe) off Lady GaGa. Oh well, I guess it's not always true."
*tumbleweeds*
There were two bits of shocking news on the night: Firstly, Beyonce accepted one of her awards wearing what appeared to be the same dress Cheryl Cole wore on last Saturday's X Factor (you know the one. Looked like she had a set of silver-coloured Chocolate Fingers biscuit boxes fashioned into ram's horns on her boobs. Simon Cowell saw the side of her left bap 'cause she wasn't sitting up straight? There you go).
And, secondly, a female performer managed to sing with her clothes on. Nicely played, Leona Lewis.
