(Photos) Rihanna, Drake, Justin Timberlake, Jay Z, Beyonce, Jessica Biel & More Attend VMA Afterparty At The Dream Hotel
The entire VMA Weekend in New York City was insane, but nothing was as crazy as the official after-parties! I was fortunate enough to be able to see it all firsthand, and Jay Z and Diddy’s rooftop party at The Dream Hotel was INSANE! It was a who’s who in there of the biggest names in music and entertainment from Diddy, Hov, Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Joey Fatone, Jamie Foxx, Jessica Biel, Cassie, Kendrick Lamar, Meek Mill, Macklemore, Kevin Hart, Memphis Bleek, Rihanna, Drake, J. Cole…the list goes on! Now the major question of the night is the interaction between Rihanna and Drake. At first the pair were at tables next to each other, but they themselves weren’t actually interacting. Rihanna took it outside to the patio after a while, with Drizzy staying inside at the table. As the lights came on and everyone filtered out, both parties were still there, but on totally opposite sides of the room. Not sure if that was to fake everyone out and they’d eventually link up after, but that’s what I saw. Check out some photos from the night in the gallery! Good times!
(Video) Justin Timberlake Wins The VMA For Video Of The Year
Who took home the most sought-after KAWS Moonman? None other than Mr. Timberlake, who also won another Moonman. Unlike Fabolous, there was competition for JT who came up against Bruno Mars (“Locked Out of Heaven”), Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (“Thrift Shop”), Robin Thicke (“Blurred Lines”) and Bey.. Sorry. I meant Taylor Swift (“I Knew You Were Trouble”). But, “Mirrors” came out on top. Watch it after the jump.

Kendrick forgot about Macklemore. After winning Billboard’s Top Rap Song Award for “Thrift Shop” in May, he takes home the video music award for Best Hip-Hop video. Thanks to “Can’t Hold Us,” Macklemore won a KAWS Moonman (that Drake will have to pay $200 million Canadian dollars to buy from him) against Kendrick [“Swimming Pools (Drank)”], J. Cole [“Power Trip”], A$AP Rocky [“F**kin’ Problems”] and Drake [“Started From the Bottom”]. He also won a KAWS Moonman for Best Video With A Social Message with “Same Love.” See the videos that won after the jump!
