Oh, forget those silly protests: the MTV Video Music Awards have cast a shadow over our Sunday, ensuring that tonight will be spent throwing our drinks at images of screaming tweens and red-carpet arrivals. We'd be seriously remiss if we didn't point out a flurry of chatter surrounding the show's surprises, none more important than the life-altering news that Britney Spears and Kevin Federline may enter into matrimonial trailer-park bliss on stage tonight.

Can this possibly be true? Well, we don't know for a fact, but we sure as hell find it plausible — after everything our princess Brit Brit has been through, marrying her little chew toy for the VMAs hardly makes one bat an eye. As such, we will watch with our breath held and fingers crossed with the hope that maybe, just maybe, our pop-cultural paradigm will shift closer towards armageddon with one tiny "I do."
