Il prossimo 20 agosto a New York si terranno gli MTV Video Music Awards e oggi è stata annunciata la vincitrice dell'ambito premio Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award: si tratta di Jennifer Lopez. Lo scorso anno Pink è stata premiata da Ellen DeGeneres dopo un medley di 7 minuti dei suoi successi, mentre nel 2015 Kanye West fece discutere perché annunciò che si sarebbe candidato alla presidenza degli Stati Uniti d'America nel 2020. Donald Trump sta già tremando.
