In just three hours, 10,000 people grabbed the free passes to the 2009 MTV European Music Awards in Berlin, in honor of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. How ironic that the organizers mounted a 12-foot wall at the venue to keep those without tickets from watching the show.

That didn’t stop the musical guests from giving earth-shaking performances. Beyonce Knowles not only bagged the best female artist award and best song award for “Halo,” but also wowed the audience with her racy red outfit as she performed her hit “Sweet Dreams.”

Wall-to-wall would be an understatement for Katy Perry’s costume changes and hosting skills. From her various red carpet frocks to her glittering stage costumes, Perry’s wardrobe did not disappoint fans that night.

Other highlights included performances by Green Day, Tokio Hotel and Leona Lewis. For a complete list of winners and a gallery of red carpet garbs, visit the official MTV Euro site.

Sweet! On October 24 at the Sunset Beach Restaurant in Hollywood, popstar Katy Perry threw a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory themed party to celebrate her turning 25.

Katy Perry spread the love to her fans a day before her party.

Celebrity guests such as Perez Hilton, Taylor Swift, Jojo, and Katy’s actor boyfriend Russel Brand entered the venue decked in all white (as stated by the dress code) and came out splattered with neon paint. Turns out the celebs had their dose of fun with the finger painting games.

Taylor Swift’s dress got splattered with strawberry jam and neon-colored food paint.

The Willy Wonka extravaganza wasn’t complete without Oompah Loompahs, bright colored decked lights, and enough candy treats to satisfy her guests’ sweet tooth. The birthday girl herself sported Oompah Loompah nail decals.

Oompah Loompahs were omnipresent at the candy-colored party.

Perez was quick to report on his blog: “[sic] Dinner included lots of yumminess, especially some deelish yellow and green mashed potatoes—and there was so many sweets downstairs for dessert that we’re surprised we didn’t go into a food coma.”

Perez Hilton thought he looked kind of like the tooth fairy in his costume.

Singer Joanna “JoJo” Levesque got her sugar rush at the party.

The best place for celebs to show off their hot designer duds is in the VIP section of fashion shows. Check out these Hollywood fashionistas who managed to steal the attention away from the catwalks at the Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010. Who wins your vote for best dressed?

Katy Perry and Posh Spice – how would you like to see them as judges in American Idol? I am still not sure how to react to Paula’s departure, but these two judges should provide entertainment at the least, shouldn’t they?

Host Regis Philbin is still running the show and is slated to feature lots of celebrities. From Snoop Dogg to Katy Perry – we can expect to see lots of personalities in the two-week stint of the show. Regis wants to see Letterman on the show, would you?

She kissed a girl and she liked it, but she has not kissed Josh Groban. The male crooner’s rep has released a statement saying that Katy Perry and Josh Groban are not a couple. Let’s see what happens in the next few weeks.

Katy Perry. But just for a moment. The latest scandal to hit the NRJ Awards – Katy Perry was given the award for Best International Song but she was made to give it to the rightful owner, Rihanna. Not their fault as it was an honest mistake. It’s messed up nonetheless.
