Janet Jackson is going to open this year’s MTV VMAs, and she is going to do it with a tribute to her brother, Michael. Needless to say, it is the most appropriate thing to do after his passing and considering his contribution to the popularity of music videos. This should be quite a production!
Awards & Accolades

He may not be starring in too many action movies these days, but Sylvester Stallone has not lost his touch.
