​Tom Green has been making us laugh for years with his hilarious antics on TV, in movies, on-line, and most recently with his stand-up.

After touring all around the world, Tom is now bringing his act to the Irvine Improv and from Thursday (October 13th) through Sunday (October 16th), and you can take in all of his funny first hand for yourself.

Whether you choose to laugh with him, or laugh at him, you can be certain there will be plenty of laughs (and cheese in there somewhere)!

The VMAs are this weekend, and sometimes (everytime) the powerhouse performances get overshadowed by controvery. For that reason, all gimmicky VMA performances have been excluded from this round-up (indecent exposure, girl-on-girl frenching, interrupting performers, snakes, fake blood) to focus just on the talent.

In honor of MTV's birthday today, we give you some memorable musician deaths in this classic claymation show. Let's get it on!

Most people who grew up in the early '80s were lucky enough to witness MTV's revolutionary images but for many of us, who were just in grade school at the time, the cutting-edge visuals that appeared before us were too conceptual for us to comprehend.

It wasn't until the early '90s (when we were allowed more TV time) that we could really sit and process the music videos, and were able to differentiate our musical tastes. Also, by this time MTV's original programming had began to launch several new shows, so MTV wasn't just a musical haven but was slowly becoming a mecca for all things cool and thought provoking.

So while the generation before us had Michael Jackson's "Thriller," we had yet to experience high-budgeted, mega, videos until way later. And that was just the beginning.
