Winners from the "Professional Categories" at the VMAs were announced today. Those are awards given to the people working behind the scenes, like producers and directors. Shane Drake was nominated for Best Direction with "Nine In The Afternoon", but he did not win. The award was given to Erykah Badu and Mr. Roboto for their work on "Honey".
With the release only two months away, Fall Out Boy are still finalizing cameos — they are hoping to get Kanye West, Pharrell and Panic at the Disco.
The Gigwise website posted a list with 50 live shows more disastrous. Panic occupates the 27th place when Brendon got hit by bottle in the Reading of 2006. Remembering that Jon also was hit in 2007.
27 of 50 Panic At The Disco @ Reading Festival, August 25, 2006 – Playing an afternoon slot, the band were in the middle of opening song 'The Only Difference Between Suicide...' when frontman Brandon Urie was struck on the head by a bottle. He immediately fell to the ground unconscious and his band stopped performing. Clearly shaken, after a few minutes Urie got back on his feet and they continued. Suckers for punishment, they were bottled once again at Reading in 2007.
We updated our Gallery with pictures of the boys in Manila, Philippines. The first sequence is an interview, that you check out clicking HERE. In the second one, the band appears in a local radio: Monster RX93.1, and answers some listerners questions. Click HERE to check them out.
Vicky-T, Cobra Starship's keytar cited Ryan Ross in her lastest blog entry:
That night we all went out for Ryan Ross's birthday. I hung out with him and Sisky all night. We had such a great time. Ryan might be one of my favorite humans around. I hadn't seen him since the UK, it was awesome to hang out again. Sisky, Ryan and I jumped about a few clubs. Ended up at one ridiculous club that was playing horrible house music. We couldn't believe how bad it was but decided to make the best of it. We had a few drinks. , imitated some dancers, danced ourselves and got served Skittles by some woman who came around dressed as a nurse demanding we take our medicine (bizarre!)
Eventually we returned to the hotel and hung in Ryan's room listening to Bob Dylan until we had to leave at 4:30am to hop on a plane to Hong Kong.

The website stuff.com.nz published an article about Panic's performance in New Zealand. Here's a piece: "When the lights did go down, the roar from the crowd was deafening. The band opened with We’re So Starving off their second album Pretty Odd against a massive screen before moving quickly into current hit song Nine in the Afternoon. If there were times when the vocals of lead singer Brendon Urie couldn’t be heard clearly, it didn’t matter - the audience filled in the blanks."
