Backstage Gossip at VMAs
September 2, 2006 -- THE offstage antics at the MTV Video Music Awards were far more entertaining than the lackluster action on stage. According to The Post's Mary Huhn, who was in the star-studded pressroom:
* A grumpy Jared Leto, who stars as John Lennon's killer in an upcoming film and whose group 30 Seconds to Mars won the MTV2 award, flipped when asked by a foreign reporter to sing his favorite Beatles song. Leto asked the journo where he was from and, after being told Amsterdam, snapped, "Don't embarrass your country!"
* After winning the best pop-video honors for "Stupid Girls," Pink chirped, "Nick Lachey and Nicole Richie giving me the award was ironic. I can appreciate the irony." The newly married rocker also revealed the saucy title of her next single - "U + Ur Hand." She quipped, "You can imagine what I'm talking about."
* Andre 3000 set the record straight, saying he missed his party at the Soho Grand's Dome because "I have a problem with time."
* Chamillionaire, who won for best rap video, said he hadn't expected to win even though "a psychic told me I was going to win. That was crazy."
* Axl Rose again promised that his album "Chinese Democracy," the Guns N' Roses disc he's been working on for 12 (count 'em, 12) years, will be out by the end of the year.
Meanwhile, as she hung out backstage, Paris Hilton couldn't resist striking out at her former best friend, Richie. A spy reports, "Nicole and [boyfriend] Brody Jenner were sitting on the sofa in the green room when Paris walked in." In front of LL Cool J, Jay-Z and others, "Paris ran up to Brody, threw her arms around his neck and squealed, 'Hello.' She started whispering in his ear and kissing his neck - and Nicole was getting really mad."
The final straw for Richie was when her beau "actually turned his back on her to talk some more with Paris." Richie finally grabbed Jenner's arm and hissed, "Let's go!" Gee, we can hardly wait for next year's awards - not!
