No MTV gig? Gwen
won't accept it
Gwen Stefani picked up an award - and sang - at the Teen Choice Awards last week. But MTV? No.
Gwen Stefani leads the nominations at MTV's Video Music Awards, but don't expect the Hollaback Girl to accept any moon men she might win in person.
A Miami-based spy tells us the Grammy winner is boycotting the Aug. 28 extravaganza because MTV refused to let her perform at the show.
Neither Stefani nor her husband, rocker Gavin Rossdale, is scheduled to appear at the star-studded, Diddy-hosted event. Stefani's mouthpiece from Interscope Records told us he had no comment on the situation.
Our insider says Gwen wasn't offered one of the performing spots - now occupied by Coldplay, Shakira, Ludacris, Mariah Carey, the Killers, Kanye West, Kelly Clarkson and Green Day - but an MTV rep says things are still in flux.
"We love Gwen and we hope she will be able to join us, as we know her fans would love to see her on this big night - especially since she's heavily nominated," the network rep said.
