MUSIC/ BIG HAUL FOR GAGA AT MTV AWARDS: Lady Gaga dominated the MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles taking home 8 prizes including video of the year. The singer, 24, who won 7of her trophies for "Bad Romance," cried as she picked up the top award from Cher at the end of the night. "I was so nervous tonight that I'd let my fans down," she said. After being presented with her final award, Lady Gaga, wearing an outfit which appeared to be made of meat, revealed that her new album would be called "Born This Way" before singing part of its title song. The album is due early next year. The singer, who landed a record 13 nominations, also won in categories including best pop video, best female video and best collaboration, for the lavish, prison-themed video for "Telephone," with Beyonce. Her awards haul puts her level with A-ha, who won 8 awards in 1986, as the recipient of the 2nd most MTV prizes in 1 night. In 1987, Peter Gabriel won 10 trophies, including 9 for his ground-breaking animated video to "Sledgehammer". Eminem, who opened the evening's show with performances of hits "Not Afraid" and "Love the Way You Lie," sung with Rihanna, picked up best hip-hop video and best male video for the former song. Best new artist was Justin Bieber, Muse won for special effects for "Uprising" and Florence and the Machine won best art direction for "Dog Days Are Over". Other winners included 30 Seconds To Mars, winning best rock video for "Kings and Queens," and, in technical categories, Jay-Z and Alicia Keys, and The Black Keys. At last year's event, Kanye West stormed the stage after Taylor Swift won the best female video prize and said: "Taylor, I'm really happy for you and I'm gonna let you finish but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time," referring to Beyonce's black and white dance video for "Single Ladies". At last night's awards, Swift, sang a new song called "Innocent" which appeared to be an acceptance of West's repeated apologies over the incident. "Thirty-two and still growing up now, who you are is not what you did, you're still an innocent," she sang in the ballad. West, who was booed by a few members of the audience, also performed and appeared to reference his behaviour. "I always find something wrong," he rapped. Full details on the awards can be found on the MTV website.
