Lady Gaga has received a record 13 nominations for the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards. Gaga leads the way ahead of Eminem, who scored eight nominations for his single Not Afraid. "I'm so honoured for all the little monsters and self-possessed freaks of the universe," Gaga told MTV. "Ironically, I'm even more proud that it's an unlucky number, 13. God put me on Earth for three reasons - to make loud music, gay videos and make a damn ruckus!"
However, Eminem seemed less than impressed. "Apparently MTV doesn't care that I have two massive stadium shows on the other side of the country the day after the VMA's. F me, right?!" he said. "I mean, I'll be there but don't expect me to be nice about it."
The 2010 MTV Video Music Awards takes place in Los Angeles on 12 September
2010.
