Lady Gaga performs with Brian May of Queen
The 2011 MTV Video Music Awards featured plenty of surprises, including Lady Gaga showing up as her male alter ego, Jo Calderone; Kanye seeming almost humble co-accepting an award with Katy Perry; Chris Brown pulling some serious Spider-Man moves; Adele bringing down the house not with the usual awards-show pyrotechnics, but just a piano and her stunning voice; Beyoncé confirming her pregnancy with some not-so-subtle belly rubs and mentions of the "love growing inside her"; and Lil Wayne's pants staying on. Don't miss our gallery of highlights (and lowlights) from the red carpet, as well.
