Actual music videos

You won't normally see any of the videos nominated for the MTV VMAs on MTV -- not that there's any discrimination involved, the channel just makes a lot more money off "The Hills," all right? -- so you can watch them here, in all their Jonas Brothers glory.

Wanna hear a tidbit we learned accidentally while trolling the flagship MTV site while looking for the VMA site? There's a Bonus Jonas! And he's a real pip!

But back to the VMAs, where, when we last left it, we still didn't know if new-and-improved Brit Brit would join the saucy Brit on the Sept. 7 live show, as the current TV promos might imply. You can prime yourself for a Potential Second Coming by watching her nominated video for "Piece of Me."

Among the other finalists: Paramore, Foo Fighters, Chris Brown, Katy Perry, Slipknot and Pussycat Dolls who, we're pretty sure, provided the inspiration for the catch phrase hot tranny mess. Watch that video at your own risk, and don't say we didn't warn you.
