VMAs to Forum

BYE-BYE BROOKLYN, HELLO INGLEWOOD: You may recall that last year’s MTV Video Music Awards—when Miley Cyrus broke out her new act—took place at Brooklyn’s Barclay’s Center. But this year, the late-summer spectacle will head West, not to Staples Center as in 2012, but to Irving and Jim’s Fabulous Forum. “With its incomparable legacy as a world class music venue, the Forum is one of Southern California’s most iconic entertainment landmarks,” said MTV President Stephen Friedman in the press release. “The Forum has hosted some of the most legendary musical artists and performances ever seen and we can’t wait to add the 2014 Video Music Awards to this list and create the type of memorable moments that music fans will talk about for years to come.” The VMAs will air on Sunday, Aug. 24.
