The most shocking MTV Awards moments ever

THE MTV Awards are the much younger, much more entertaining sibling of the Oscars and the Golden Globes.

Shying away from glamour, emotional speeches and formality, the MTV Movie awards and Video Music Awards are about entertaining music and movie fans with explosions, musical performances and Robert Pattinson.

Solo hosts have included Will Smith, Eddie Murphy, Mike Myers, Sarah Jessica Parker, Lisa Kudrow and Lindsay Lohan.

Collectively, the awards have brought us some hilarious and shocking moments since their inception in 1992.

So before the MTV VMAs kick off on Monday morning, here are some of our favourite moments frpm across the years:

Lady Gaga's meat dress

When the reigning agent provocateur of pop picked out a frock for the 2010 awards she skipped the usual designer dress route and created pop culture history with her all-beef get-up. Her meat dress took the red carpet in a whole new direction, not to mention her matching meat shoes.

Britney bombs

Britney Spears left everyone aghast after her disastrous appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2007, of which she later said: "I looked like a fat pig". After a brief marriage, a couple of babies, a divorce, rehab and that incident with a pair of electric hair clippers, Britney's shambolic attempt to reclaim her pop crown at the VMAs with a live performance of Gimme More proved to be another low point for the performer. It would be two years before the troubled diva managed to get her career back on track.

Kanye West interrupts Taylor Swift

In one of the most infamous MTV VMA moments of all time, the ever-controversial Kanye (who was repeatedly photographed with a bottle of Hennessey cognac during the night) stormed onto the stage in 2009 just as Swift was getting into full-blown teary acceptance mode and swiftly earned himself a place in celebrity infamy.

Miley Cyrus and her foam finger

There's awards ceremony shock value and then there's Miley Cyrus. The 20-year-old singer and her foam finger took raunchy performances to a new cringe-worthy level at the 2013 Awards, shocking fans with an explicit display of tongue-wagging, twerking and grinding. The episode spelled the end of her engagement to Liam Hemsworth and led to the demise of Robin Thicke's marriage to Paula Patton. He's still trying to get her back. Miley, her dignity.

Bruno gives Eminem some cheek

Out to promote his film Bruno, a G-string clad, angel-winged Sacha Baron Cohen, flew through the air in 2009, hovering above Eminem and literally making him the "butt" of his joke. A furious Eminem stormed out of the award show, but later admitted it was a setup.

Will Ferrell and Sacha Baron Cohen make out

After winning the 2007 MTV Movie Award for Best Kiss in Talladega Nights, Sacha Baron Cohen shocked the audience when he slapped Will Ferrell in the face while on stage. After accusing him of cheating, the pair made out, embracing passionately and rolling around on the floor.

Lindsay Lohan gets her crunk on

In 2004, a 17-year-old Lindsay Lohan, the youngest ever host of the MTV Movie Awards, wowed the crowd by breaking into a hip-hop routine with Omarian, to the shock of her fake onstage parents.

Jim Carrey parties like it's 1999

Jim Carrey's acceptance speech for his 1999 Best Male Performance nod was bizarre even by MTV Awards standards. A cigarette smoking Carey was described as looking like "some kind of hippie-Jim Morrison hybrid" declaring he's like to thank his "new biker friends" and thank the ladies for "dressing up so pretty."

Join us for our live coverage of the 2014 MTV VMAs from 9.30am AEST on Monday morning for more shocking and memorable moments.

Bledisloe Cup fans injured by fireworks

NEW Zealand Rugby has apologised after a fireworks display at the Bledisloe Cup match at Eden Park in Auckland malfunctioned, injuring fans.

Three people in the 48,000 strong crowd on Saturday were injured after being struck by a stray firework. The display was activated at the end of the All Blacks haka.

Two people were treated at the scene and a woman was taken to Auckland City Hospital.

She was treated and discharged on Saturday night, a hospital spokeswoman told NZ Newswire.

The incident was "very upsetting" for everyone concerned, New Zealand Rugby chief executive Steve Tew says.

"Something has clearly gone wrong and we are urgently conducting a review of what happened. I can only apologise profusely to those who were injured."

NZ Rugby would work with Eden Park and the authorities to investigate what happened, Tew said.

"I have been in contact with two of the people treated and I am hoping to contact the third today, to personally offer an apology."

The Wallabies must wait twelve long months for another chance to win back the Bledisloe after being humiliated by the All Blacks, but the 31-point losing margin isn't their only concern with two key players under injury clouds.

All Blacks coach Steve Hansen said players did not know fans had been injured by the fireworks but certainly noticed when they went off.

"All the computers in our room jumped off the thing and I thought, ooh that was a bit loud."

Hansen had also met with one of the injured.

"We offer our sympathies to those people who did get hurt."

The contractor, Van Tiel Pyrotechnics, was deeply sorry people were hurt, Dr Martin Van Tiel said.

It was working with WorkSafe NZ and NZR to investigate, he told media.

Wallabies coach Ewen McKenzie has described his side's 51-20 loss to the All Blacks as an 'opportunity missed' as they headed home without the Bledisloe Cup for another year.

The Waikato-based firm has been running pyrotechnics for more than 10 years at Eden Park with no problems, Dr Van Tiel said. The equipment used in the display has been impounded for investigation by experts.

WorkSafe NZ has not yet made a formal decision on whether or not to investigate, a spokesman said.

The All Blacks thrashed the Wallabies 51-20 to retain the Bledisloe Cup.

Victim of Gammy’s dad speaks out

The father of Thai surrogate baby Gammy has spoken publicly about his convictions for child sex offences.

A CHILD sex abuse victim of an Australian man at the centre of a surrogacy storm says pedophiles shouldn't have children and she's disgusted he has a baby daughter.

David Farnell was placed in the international spotlight after a Thailand surrogate mother alleged he abandoned his Down Syndrome son Gammy and returned to Australia with the healthier twin sister, now seven-month-old Pipah.

Questions have been raised over Mr Farnell's suitability for surrogacy after it emerged he was jailed in 1997 for indecently dealing with three girls.

One of Mr Farnell's victims, using the pseudonym Sarah, has spoken about the impact of the offences.

"The damage is done and it can take years to repair," she toldThe West Australian newspaper. "It's my belief he should not have any children - not just him, all pedophiles."

The 39-year-old said she feared for Pipah's safety: "We need to stop putting these perpetrators first ... because there are so many innocent babies and children that are abused day in, day out.

"It's disgusting."

Mr Farnell and his wife Wendy have denied abandoning Gammy in Thailand, saying they wanted to take him back to their home in Western Australia.

Speaking out from hospital where she herself has just given birth, Sarah and her father Bob, also a pseudonym, said Mr Farnell is a person "you cannot trust, not one little bit."

"Our concern is that five, 10 years down the track, it's all forgotten and who's going to protect them and friends of his kids?," Bob told The West Australian.

Sarah's family lived in the same neighbourhood as Mr Farnell in the 1980s when the offences occurred in Mr Farnell's home and garden shed.

In an interview with 60 Minutes the Farnells denied they abandoned their son, but admitted they had not called at all to check on Gammy's welfare.

They said they did not extend their Thai visas to be with him, and have not asked authorities or the agency for help in bringing him to Australia.

Of his past as a registered sex offender, Mr Farnell said: "I've been convicted of child sex offences and I hang my head in shame for that and I'm deeply regretful of that."

"I was convicted and I went to jail and when I got out of jail I thought ... I need to face everybody and face what I did," he said.

"I copped a lot of horrible things but I stayed and I faced that."

I was bonkers: Ex ice junkie tells

Written By Unknown on Jumat, 22 Agustus 2014 | 14.41

$438 million dollars of methamphetamine have been seized by police in an Australian record

AS HE stood in front of a mirror in his mother's home, ice addict Jack Nagle couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Gone was the happy, athletic, outgoing young man he'd once been. In its place was someone completely different. And it shocked him.

"I was pale, I was skinny as all hell, I hadn't showered in something like two weeks. I looked like a hobo," he tells news.com.au.

He was 20-years-old and had been injecting and smoking ice, or crystal methamphetamine, for a year. But it was a 10 day binge, where he went through about $7500 worth of the drug that finally tipped him over the edge.

"I was bonkers. Some messed up things happened during that time. It all was very crazy," he says.

Mr Nagle, now 23, last week watched footage of Harriet Wran — the daughter of celebrated former New South Wales Premier Neville Wran — being led into court on a murder charge.

Wran reportedly told police she was "numb" on ice and desperate for her next hit.

Mr Nagle said it was a "sad" scene. But her descent into ice hell was nothing extraordinary in the mad world of methamphetamine.

"What happens is you lose your grip on reality. Your ability to reason just gets knocked out of the ballpark ... basically you'll do anything to get it."

Wran reportedly started with drugs like cannabis and ecstasy. Someone who enjoyed partying hard but was well liked and had a bright future ahead of her.

Mr Nagle was the same.

Addiction experts say there is no 'typical' progression of substance abuse. But Mr Nagle and thousands of others have a frighteningly similar story.

It started with experimenting with drugs and a desire for something bigger and better.

"I had everything I ever needed," he says.

There was girls, his sport, a promising future, a good life. "But I always dabbled in drugs, pot and drinking." When he was 17 he thought "stuff it I'm going to party and chase girls and stuff" and began mixing with a different crowd.

Through those connections he first tried speed. Ice followed a little later when he was 19. From that moment there was no turning back — Mr Nagle believes he was hooked from the first time, he just didn't realise it.

"It was just so good ... And from the amount of money I was spending to the reaction I was getting [made it worth it]."

But ice isn't known as the "liar drug" for nothing. Soon his tolerance went up meaning he required more drugs for the same level of satisfaction.

Initially the "rush" and the feeling it gave him was too good to say no to. But that changed quickly "and it was all downhill from there".

By now he was totally transformed. Not just physically — "I was 6'6 and 62kg"— but "mentally, emotionally and spiritually" as well.

"It was like a psychosis all the time."

At his worst moments he hallucinated and thought his life was a TV show where everyone could see what he was doing. There were long black-outs where he couldn't remember what had happened. It was only after talking with his friends later they told him he'd been rambling, incoherent, thinking he was at the airport about to board a flight to Thailand.

At the start of his progression into ice addiction he didn't want to use the drug. But it was as if the choice was no longer his. "For the first six months I didn't want to use ice but I couldn't stop."

Every night after he got home and had used all his drugs he would say to himself "it would stop here". He'd smoke marijuana to help him sleep and vowed to wake up in the morning with a series of push ups and lead a clean life.

"Then I would get a resume and hand it out and get a job and a girlfriend."

Instead, "I just got back on it." Again and again.

That also meant he needed more money. Mr Nagle is open about this time of his life and the things he did to get drugs.

The use of ice, or crystal methamphetamine, by Australians is among the highest in the developed world. Source: Supplied

"I started doing things I never thought I would never do. Petty crime and things like that."

Armed with a "large sum of money" he embarked on a final binge. When the drugs were gone he turned up at his mother's doorstep and knocked on the door and ended up standing in front of the mirror, the reality of what he'd become staring back at him.

"It was standing in front of the mirror that I had a moment of clarity. It sounds funny to say, but it was almost like my life flashed before my eyes."

Before he was seduced by methamphetamine he had been popular, had girlfriends and a possible future playing basketball in the United States to look forward to.

It wasn't until he looked at his reflection in the mirror he realised how far he'd fallen.

"I thought about that. I was just crushed and broken."

He asked his mum for help and she booked him into rehab for a month.

THREE years later he is clean and doing his best to help others beat their addictions.

At DayHab, a Melbourne addiction treatment centre, their aim is not just to stop people using drugs but to make sure they stay off them.

They do this by treating the "underlying reasons" people use drugs in the first place, he said.

"Stopping isn't the hard part. Don't get me wrong, it is hard, but staying off them is harder."

Mr Nagle, the centre manager, recalled being helped by someone in rehab who was also a former addict and it helped show him recovery was possible.

"In our experience the best people that can help others with their addictions is reformed addicts ... It might sound elitist but it shows them recovery is possible.

Associate Professor Nadine Ezard, clinical director of the Alcohol and Drug Service at Sydney's St Vincent's Hospital said drug users fitted into different categories, from mild, to medium and severe.

It was not accurate to say regular users of methamphetamine would all end up in the state Mr Nagle found himself in, she said. The reasons why the drug consumed so completely were varied but some of the common themes were experience to trauma and a history of substance abuse.

Professor Ezard said methamphetamine was a serious problem but she didn't believe it was "well understood" by the public.

"People are afraid of it, there have been high profile cases of people doing psychotic things and it's hard to ignore."

She said informed discussion was required to properly understand the challenges ice use imposed on the community.

Australia has one of the highest rates of illicit methamphetamine use in the world and the highest use among developed nations. Around 2.5% of Australians over 14 years have used methamphetamine over the past year — almost double the rate of most developed countries.

Earlier this year the Australian Crime Commission warned Australia's ice addiction had become a pandemic.

In an ACC report into drug use in this country Acting ACC boss Paul Jevtovic said the production, distribution and use of the dangerous drug was so entrenched it was a "national concern".

He said it was relatively affordable and accessible but had devastating side effects. because of this he likened Australia's ice problem to the crack cocaine issues in the United States.

Shorten needed to go public

Written By Unknown on Kamis, 21 Agustus 2014 | 14.41

Labor leader Bill Shorten has refuted an allegation of sexual assault.

COMMENT: MOST voters were unaware of it but for all his time as Opposition Leader, Bill Shorten has been living under one of the most harmful of allegations.

The allegation was rape — said to have been committed in the 1980s.

The Labor chief today took the hazardous step of publicly acknowledging an allegation had been made against him, now that a 10-month police investigation has resulted in no charges being laid.

MORE: BILL SHORTEN AT CENTRE OF RAPE ALLEGATION

If he hadn't faced the media, it is likely someone else would do it for him — possibly during the next election campaign.

Mr Shorten also would have been aware the unnamed woman who made the complaint against him might soon tell her side of the story publicly.

And no doubt there was a simple yet huge sense of relief he wanted to express. Mr Shorten, wife Chloe, mother-in-law Dame Quentin Bryce and other family members are likely to have also carried this burden.

While most voters were not aware of the allegation, it was common currency within the nether world of the blogosphere and social media where it was often treated as proven.

Commentators unafraid of defamation action used social media to demand action against "the senior Labor figure" involved.

Many of these people will not relent despite Mr Shorten being cleared, but his statement today means their sniping will have little impact.

Bill Shorten denies rape claim

LABOR leader Bill Shorten has confirmed that he is the senior Labor figure investigated for a sexual assault that occurred in the 1980s.

Mr Shorten denied he had assaulted the woman and there was "absolutely no basis for the claim".

COMMENT: A hazardous step for Shorten

"Last year I learned that a claim had been made about me, going back to when I was 19."

He described the allegation as "untrue and abhorrent," but revealed it was made by someone he knew briefly when he was 19 years old.

"I freely answered all the questions the police asked of me," he said.

"I want to address this myself directly, this has been deeply distressing for my family. Police have now concluded the investigation. It is over. I have no intention of making any further comment. The police have finished their work; I think in all fairness I have the right to draw the line on this."

Mr Shorten said he would not go into details about the claim except to say the allegation was untrue and he intended to never discuss the matter again.

"The easy option would be to say nothing, but that is not who I am," he told reporters.

Mr Shorten thanked his wife Chloe, his staff and his parliamentary colleagues for their support.

"Others who were aware of the investigation have acted with the utmost integrity by leaving the police to do their job," he said.

The Australian has previously reported that a senior Labor figure was alleged to have raped a teenager in the 80s at an overnight camp organised by the Vanguard movement of the Victorian Young Labor Party. The camp took place at Portarlington.

The woman, a community nurse now living on the NSW Central Coast, told police she was drunk at the time of the alleged assault but that her memory of the incident was clear.

It is understood she first posted the accusations on Kevin Rudd's Facebook page.

Victorian police confirmed they had investigated the report but after seeking advice from the Office of Public Prosecutions had decided not to proceed with criminal charges.

Victoria Police confirmed that they invesitgated an alleged historical sexual assault.

"Investigating police sought advice from the Office of Public Prosecutions, which advised there was no reasonable prospect of conviction. All parties have been notified that Victoria Police will not be proceeding with criminal charges," a police spokesperson said.

This is not the first time that Mr Shorten has been forced to address an unspecified allegation.

In 2012, he and wife Chloe Bryce hit back publicly at a hurtful political smear.

"I just think personal lives and families should be off limits," Mr Shorten said at the time.

"I understand why people are interested in the personal lives of people in public life," Ms Bryce said.

"I understand the curiosity, but I think the sorts of things people say can be appalling."

Strong supporter ... Bill Shorten and Richard Marles. Picture: Alison Wynd Source: News Corp Australia

Mr Shorten's colleague Richard Marles came out publicly in support of the Labor leader, saying there is "no way" the allegation could be true.

"I know he really wanted to clear the air on this issue," the Shadow Immigration Minister said after calling in to 2GB Radio this afternoon.

"I think he wanted to set the record straight once and for all."

Mr Marles said there were "a lot of people" on social media following the case and it was a "courageous step" taken by Mr Shorten to get on the "front foot".

"It is an extraordinary afternoon," he said, adding Police have concluded a "thorough investigation".

"There isn't a case to answer."

"I know that these allegations are not true," Mr Marles added, explaining he had first met Bill in 1987 and they've been close friends.

"I know they're not true because the person that I've known, a close friend of mine from that time right through to now, is simply not capable of undertaking the allegation that have been made against him.

"There's just no way that any of this was possible."

The Shadow Minister praised Mr Shorten for doing his job in the face of the allegations which he told his friend about last November.

"He was really shocked," he said.

"That was really I think one of the worst moments of Bill's life."

"I'm really proud of him," Mr Marles said.

Secret tricks airports use on you

Flyers, beware: If youre buying plane tickets to certain cities, youd better shop around for airfare or risk paying far too much for your tickets. MarketWatch's Catey Hill reports on Lunch Break with Lee Hawkins. Photo: Getty

AIRPORTS can be stressful and chaotic places at times, so the last thing you need added into the mix is confusion about how to get to your gate when you're already running late.

The designers of airport terminals are well aware of this and have been implementing some subtle tricks to get passengers headed in the right direction. Which is basically wherever the airport wants you to end up; whether it be at your gate, or they may funnel you towards a shop in a bid to get you to splash some cash.

This is a technique called "wayfinding", and it involves much more than just whacking up some directional signs, Gizmodo reports.

It's such an important consideration these days that the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service even has a document outlining the best practices for wayfinding at the nation's international airports.

This usually involves the use of architectural clues such as visually breaking up the airport into zones using lighting or objects, or by varying the width of spaces.

Other elements such as installing noticeable landmarks or other distinguishable features, having prominent floor features (such as tiles with different shapes and colours) and a wide, open ceiling structure also can impact the look of the airport and thus how easily passengers can move through it.

What's more, the longer a passenger can see and move in a straight line, the better.

Sometimes, the ticket desks are even slanted or curved to indicate where you should go next.

It turns out that making signs bland can actually make them stand out amid a lot of bright colours, another technique used at some airports.
