MTV held its annual Video Music Awards on Sunday and, as is tradition in a ceremony starkly different from its more traditional forebearers like the Grammys, Brits, or American Music Awards, delivered plenty of memorable moments. These ranged from the oh-so-brief *NSYNC reunion that we predicted would still go on to Miley Cyrus doing...well whatever it is she did.

In a day jampacked with action, let's not forget that it's also National Dog Day! Make sure to give Spot a longer belly rub, Max an extra treat, and Fido five more minutes of fetch today to celebrate our four-legged friends.

Lastly, we hope her bouquet wasn't filled entirely with water-squirting flowers. A Pennsylvania couple recently married in full clown regalia at the 2013 Clownfest.
