MTV MUSIC AWARDS

The MTV European Music Awards 2010, held this weekend (Nov. 7) in Madrid, were stacked with powerhouse performances -- including Linkin Park, B.o.B. and Paramore's Hayley Williams, and Miley Cyrus -- and memorable moments. Billboard.com counts down our top five favorites.

Lady Gaga Tops MTV European Music Awards

The EMA's first Global Icon Award recipient Bon Jovi and "Only Girl in the World" Rihanna surprised audiences with a duet of "Livin' On a Prayer" during the EMA pre-show party on Nov. 6. The song showed to be a crowd favorite when Bon  Jovi began the number with an acapella rendition -- and the audience's voices almost overshadowed the singer's crooning. "Prayer" spent the longest time at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 of any of Bon Jovi's hits, holding the top spot for four weeks starting in February 1987.

It's good to know Lady Gaga doesn't need a dressing room or to be in the audience of an award show to ensure she has a different outfit for every accolade. The current queen of pop accepted three awards from her concert in Budapest, giving a thank you speech to for each trophy from the stage of her show. She even treated the EMA audience to an impromptu singing performance of "Teeth" during her acceptance speech for "Best Song" ("Bad Romance"). "Come on MTV, show us your teeth!" Gaga belts out, before getting low with James Brown-esque moves.

30 Seconds to Mars has a reputation for larger-than-life arena  shows, but at this year's EMAs the band gave Madrid a surprise no one saw coming -- Kanye West. The rapper joined the rockers on stage for their collaborative song "Hurricane," before 30STM frontman Jared Leto turned over all mic powers to West for a rendition of his song "Power."

Shakira kicked off the 2010 EMAs broadcast with "Loca," on which she was joined by UK rapper Dizzee Rascal for their first-ever live performance together. Dizzee dropped it like it was hot, before Shakira, whose hips always drop it like it's hot, moved into her World Cup anthem, "Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)." The Colombian songstress was also honored with MTV's "Free You Mind" Award" that night, for her contributions toward ending world illiteracy.

Rihanna brought her own flowers to the stage of the EMAs for her performance of "Only Girl (In the World)." The singer was surrounded by red and yellow flowers, just like in the song's official video, and strutted her stuff across the stage. We're guessing that crown is for hottest diva of the night.

Lanvin for H&M - Fashion Show

We at Lovefashionbitches got one of the first looks at the Lanvin collection for H&M yesterday, 

The collection, called Lanvin [hearts] H&M will go on sale on November 23 in shops worldwide, and includes menswear, womenswear, accessories and lipsticks. Prices range from £7.99 for a lipstick to £199 for a silk satin evening coat, while most of the cocktail dresses are £99. When the News hit that Lanvin would be creating a range for the Swedish high street giant H&M  it caused a wave of excitement within the fashion industry back in June, Lanvin designer Alber Elbaz said that what "intrigued" him was "the idea of H&M going luxury" but some question whether the label would retain its sophisticated- and accordingly expensive - femininity on a budget.

Somehow, Elbaz has nailed it.

While you would never mistake these pieces for the real thing, they appear well made from high quality fabrics such as wool and silk. As has been the case with many of H&M's previous collaborations with designer labels, the collection details many of Lanvin's signature shapes past and present, rather than replicating its current collection. Grosgrain ribbons, bows, pearls, ruffled and tiered silk cocktail dresses, evening coats and trenches, costume jewels, and raw edges have all been trends thanks to Lanvin, and they all make an appearance here. One of the cutest finishing touches is the cream presentation boxes that the shoes and accessories will be coming in.

Among the womenswear, the cocktail dresses stand out and are bound to be a bestseller, especially the one-shoulder versions in black and yellow cotton.

" I want to know who is going to be waiting outside on the 23rd with me"!?

Madonna launches her own gym brand

Madonna is adding yet another feather to her bow by launching her own global gym chain.

The muscle-bound singer, actress, model, fashion designer and film director, famed for her love of fitness, will open the first branch of Hard Candy Fitness in a wealthy neighbourhood of Mexico City next month.

A statement from the company said the gyms "will open in major cities around the world," including 10 more locations in Russia, Brazil, Argentina, Europe and Asia.

Madonna, 52, will attend the opening of Hard Candy Fitness in Mexico City herself.

It is thought that the star's input will be reflected in the music, space, light and design of the venues.

No gyms are immediately planned for the US, but the statement noted that more locations are possible in the future.
