Naturally, E! host Giuliana Rancic took to Twitter on Thursday morning, thanking her fans and forwarding details of son Edward Duke's birth via surrogate the night before.

"THANK YOU for ur love & prayers! Here r details 4 those asking:)," she wrote.

The details came courtesy of, yes, E!, which reported that Giuliana and husband Bill welcomed all 7 pounds, 4 ounces of baby Edward a little after 10 p.m. in Denver.

Bill and Giuliana are keeping their son's cord blood >>

According to the Los Angeles Times,  the couple had been on a "babymoon" in Denver, awaiting the arrival of their son.

Last month, Giuliana told the Times that they wouldn't miss the arrival of their child "for the world," and that they were in a holding pattern of sorts, in case there was any "movement or action."

The 37-year-old has been very open about her struggles with both infertility and breast cancer.

Giuliana on cancer, pregnancy & positivity >>

The newspaper notes that, initially, the couple was pursuing fertility treatments. Then they got the blow that Giuliana had breast cancer. At that point, it was decided to go with a "gestational carrier" through an agency recommended by their doctor.

"We interviewed her and felt a real connection," Giuliana said.

And Giuliana more than got her wish to see Edward born; papa Bill cut the umbilical cord following the 4-hour delivery and Giuliana was the first to hold her child.

Prior to the delivery, Bill tweeted: "It's Game Time" and followed up with a funny announcement early Thursday: ""The 'Duke' has landed! Edward Duke Rancic was welcomed into the world last night at 7lbs 4oz. G & I feel blessed beyond words...We did it!"

Sorry, aspiring Guidos: Jersey Shore is coming to an end after the upcoming season, MTV confirmed Thursday. The final season — set to debut on Oct. 4 — will chronicle everything from The Situation's rehab to Snooki's pregnancy.

The new mom acknowledged the cancellation on Twitter.

Snooki's birth will appear on TV >>

"Yes, sadly it's true. This upcoming season of Jersey Shore will be our last. But it was fricken INSANE. I will always love my roomies!" she wrote.

"Amen," Pauly D added.

We suspect the cast is ready for the show to be over, considering that the crew each has their own side projects going on: The Situation is currently competing on the British version of Celebrity Big Brother; Pauly D has his successful DJ career; and Sammi Sweetheart is a burgeoning fashion designer.

Deena Cortese gets drunk, disorderly down by the Jersey Shore >>

Plus, we're not really sure where the show can go from here — there's only so much GTL we can watch before it gets old.

At least we still have this last season — and don't assume for one minute that the network won't milk it for all it's worth. They're already planning a special, Gym, Tan, Look Back, scheduled for Thursday Sept. 6 after the Video Music Awards.

Also, there's already talk of a televised wedding between Snooki and her baby daddy, Jionni LaValle.

"I would love to have a Snooki-Jionni wedding," MTV exec Chris Linn told Entertainment Weekly. "That could be amazing."

We're already going through withdrawals. At least we'll still have the Real Housewives of New Jersey to give us our weekly dose of Jersey drama.

We all know the story: Charlie Sheen had a good thing going at Two and a Half Men but then had a meltdown of epic proportions. It cost him his job as the highest-paid actor on television and it forced the show to make a sudden U-turn. Instead of being based on Charlie Harper , Alan Harper and Jake trying to share one house amid daily shenanigans, Walden Schmidt was forced into the mix and Charlie was killed off.

While many thought Sheen's exit would be the death of the show, season nine proved that Two and a Half Men can withstand the loss of one man. Kutcher seamlessly took over and now it feels like he's been there the whole time.

Synopsis

In season nine, Walden Schmidt -- a billionaire who made his fortune on the internet -- struggled through a bitter divorce. Alan Harper and his son Jake were there to help him through the ordeal and now the new Two and a Half Men are back at the beach house and are up to their old tricks.

To end season nine, Jake enlisted in the army after an evening of downloading porn ended in disaster. In season 10, we can all assume Jake won't survive long in basic training. Will he be gone from the show completely or soon find himself back at the beach house with his dad and Walden?

Season 10 promises some interesting guest appearances, including Miley Cyrus and Michael Bolton.

Why should you watch?

CBS officially announced Miley Cyrus will be part of Two and a Half Men for season 10, playing a character named Missi -- a family friend of Walden's. Cyrus is expected to be one of many notable guest stars on the show -- including Michael Bolton, who appears in the premiere.

The secret to Two and a Half Men is the great writing and producing that goes into each show. It's an immensely enjoyable comedy that doesn't take itself too seriously. While all the actors are of high quality, its laidback approach and unique style make it a must-watch every time.

Starring:

Ashton Kutcher -- Walden Schmidt

Jon Cryer -- Alan Harper

Angus T. Jones -- Jake Harper

After several cryptic promos, FX has given us something we can use! The network has released a full trailer for American Horror Story: Asylum. The new season takes place inside a mental hospital, which means plenty of colorful characters.

First spooky promo for American Horror Story: Asylum >>

Co-creator Ryan Murphy told Entertainment Weekly, “Every year of the show is a different miniseries, and there will be several chapters. You need as your leading man or leading lady an institution to haunt.” Fellow co-creator Brad Falchuk chimed in, “To me, last year was a family drama. This is our version of a workplace drama.”

American Horror Story casts same actor, different role >>

The promo introduces cast members both old and new. As we've established, Jessica Lange, Zachary Quinto, Evan Peters, Lily Rabe and Sarah Paulson all return in completely different roles. Lange portrays the head nun who works alongside Joseph Fiennes' priest and James Cromwell's doctor.

Lange is more than excited to portray another complicated character. “If I were playing a straitlaced nun, start to finish, I can’t say that would interest me too much. What’s great are the extremes. To go from where she was and where she’s getting to, that’s what’s going to be interesting.”

As for the newcomers, we have Adam Levine, Chloe Sevigny and Jenna Dewan-Tatum, to name just a few. Sevigny's character is a drastic change from her last TV role. Before American Horror Story, she played a fundamentalist Mormon wife on HBO's Big Love. Now she stars as Shelley, an institutionalized nymphomaniac. Talk about extremes!

American Horror Story: Asylum premieres Oct. 17 on FX.

With all the shows out there starring "pretty" people , Mike & Molly focuses on two characters that are real. Due to their extra weight, Mike and Molly spend a lot of their time dealing with demeaning comments from everyone -- family members, friends, acquaintances and even Mike's partner on the police force.

Synopsis:

The final few episodes of season two of Mike & Molly revolved around their wedding planning. The bachelor and bachelorette parties were full of hilarity, while the rehearsal didn't quite go down as planned. In the final episode, the twosome were married.

Melissa McCarthy, who plays Molly, does an outstanding job in her role. In both 2011 and 2012, she was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. In 2011, she won the award.

In season three, how will Mike and Molly deal with married life? Will things get easier or will they still face the same obstacles that have plagued them during their courtship? Tune in beginning Monday, Sept. 24 at 9:30/8:30c and find out.

Why should you watch?

The show is funny... very funny. Fat or skinny, tall or short, who cares what they look like? Back in 2010, a blog commentary was written about the series by Maura Kelly on the Marie Claire website. The article, titled "Should Fatties Get a Room?" sparked great debate and discussion around the internet about what people really want to see on television. Apparently some people would rather see skinny than see funny. If you're not one of those people, tune in to see what's next on Mike & Molly.

Starring:

Billy Gardell -- Officer Michael "Mike" Biggs

Melissa McCarthy -- Molly Flynn-Biggs

Reno Wilson -- Officer Carlton "Carl" McMillan

Katy Mixon -- Victoria Flynn

Swoosie Kurtz -- Joyce Flynn

What would Jesus do? That's what we're asking ourselves now that child bride — and professed Christian — Courtney Stodden said she'd consider doing porn now that she's 18.

Courtney Stodden's high heel drama invades YouTube >>

"I'm not gonna say yes right now ... and I'm not gonna say no," she purred to TMZ on Wednesday.

Stodden became a household name in 2011 when she married 51-year-old former Lost actor Doug Hutchison when she was only 16. Since then, she's posed in a myriad of ridiculously inappropriate photoshoots and tweeted a variety of suggestive notes on the social media site.

Her mom — and, some would argue, her pimp — told ABC News that she's not surprised her young daughter is getting porn offers.

"In the back of my mind, I knew that would probably happen when she turned 18," Krista Stodden said. "We’re used to this. For some reason, people are really just fascinated with her."

Oh, great: Get ready for the Courtney Stodden and Doug Hutchison reality show >>

Maybe because she's an 18-year-old that looks more like a 41-year-old stripper? Just a thought. However, Mama Stodden said her daughter might consider doing some nude photos in a tasteful nudie mag.

"Playboy, we have a lot of respect for," Krista said. "There have been a lot of wonderful women who posed for Playboy that have gone on to do really great things. [Courtney's] not ruling that one out at all."

For now, she's spending her birthday week with her new Italian Greyhound puppy and tweeting.

"Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday— it feels great to be legal! ;) Love you all xxx God Bless," she wrote on Wednesday.

We're going to go out on a limb and say we'll see Stodden nude by the end of the year.

It's been speculated that this will be the final season of Private Practice, but it hasn't been confirmed yet. We do know that the series is sure to look a lot different this season without Dr. Wilder .

Private Practice followed Dr. Addison Montgomery from Grey's Anatomy as she moved to a private practice in Los Angeles. Her new place of work, Oceanside Wellness Group, is very different than what she was used to back in Seattle. However, she soon makes friends with a number of the other doctors.

Synopsis:

Over the first five seasons, plots have included the practice's financial troubles, Dr. Montgomery's love life and the controversy surrounding abortion. To end season five, the doctors are all with Amelia as she gives birth. Pete and Violet start to figure out their feelings for each other are for real. As for Dr. Montgomery, she's having a difficult time deciding what to do with Sam , her current love interest.

Why should you watch?

In season six, which premieres Tuesday, Sept. 25 at 10/9c, we'll see a lot of loose ends begin to get tied up. With Daly not returning to the show, it will be interesting to see how they address his relationship with Violet. And you can count on some new drama to be added to the mix to spice up this season even more.

If you can't get enough of medical dramas, Private Practice is well worth your time. While it doesn't quite reach Grey's Anatomy status, it's an entertaining show with plenty of subplots to keep your interest high.

Starring:

Kate Walsh -- Dr. Addison Montgomery

Tim Daly -- Dr. Pete Wilder

Paul Adelstein -- Dr. Cooper Freedman

KaDee Strickland -- Dr. Charlotte King

Taye Diggs -- Dr. Sam Bennett

Amy Brenneman -- Dr. Violet Marianne Wilder

Someone isn't telling the truth about the existence of a Shakira sex tape. Reps for the singer have flat-out denied a recording of she and boyfriend Gerard Pique getting it on exists, but others insist they've seen it!

The international mystery of Colombian singer Shakira's sex tape continues, as Spanish magazine Intervieu has reported a Barcelona talent agent was offered the tape for sale.

Shakira antagonizes sea lion, almost gets eaten >>

The talent agent is one of a few to have taken in an eyeful of Shakira and Gerard Pique's private moments. "The video lasts about 15 minutes," the talent agent is quotes as saying. "It’s filmed with a cell phone, which I guess belonged to Shakira’s employee who was at the helm of the boat that night. The images are not steady and it’s out of focus."

Mexico’s TV Notas also has reported the Shakira sex tape was made by one of the "Hips Don't Lie" singer's employees, who is now using it for blackmail.

Her lawyer, however, told Colombia's newspaper El Espectador, "There is clear evidence of intentions to defame and cause harm to my client by taking advantage of her public persona and spotless personal reputation in exchange for money."

Sadly, there's more bad news out for Shakira -- she's being sued by ex-fiance´Antonio De la Rua! El Tiempo reports he is demanding $250 million in compensation, arguing that he abandoned his career as a publicist to focus on building her fame, including helping to land the 35-year-old a nearly $100 million contract with Live Nation.

Oh, and by the way, rumor has it Shakira is pregnant! Unnamed insiders report she and Gerard Pique are expecting a boy, due in January.

Hot Pockets have made their way into the MTV Video Music Awards celebrity swag bags, but we think there's room for some frozen food love in the show too. Let Snoop Dogg take the stage and perform "Pocket Like It's Hot!"

Yes, the man known to often have a case of the munchies has created a lyrical tribute to the Hot Pocket. A source told BANG Showbiz, "Snoop is obsessed with Hot Pockets and makes sure he has a stash of them at all times. He is a huge fan, and he decided to write this ode to them, which is similar to his hit 'Drop It Like It's Hot.'"

Snoop Dogg ... errr, Snoop Lion ... is more than "obsessed" with the microwavable bread pocket with the molten-hot middle; he's a brand ambassador!

Snoop Dogg caught doing his thing in a Norway airport >>

Why are celebrities getting a box of Hot Pockets in their MTV VMA swag bags this year? Karen Wood, who designed the bags with Backstage Creations, explained, "Hot Pockets actually has a great brand ambassador, Snoop, and has downloaded all of Snoop's songs onto an iPod, which will be given to each of the VMAs' presenters and performers."

It's unclear if "Pocket Like It's Hot" is included on the Hot Pocket iPods destined for the rich and famous.

After all the speculation over the suspect in Taylor Swift's song "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," we may finally have the answer. Many speculated it was about Joe Jonas, but he assured us it wasn't about him. Swift's other former boyfriends all made the list too, including John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Lautner.

According to the Huffington Post, Swift was recently on Nightline and explained that the song came about after she was in the studio and an ex's friend came to the studio and mentioned he heard they were getting back together. The visit led to a conversation about the relationship. "And so I start telling them the story of break up, get back together, break up, get back together, just, ugh, the worst," Swift said.

A source told Us Weekly the song is "definitely about Jake." Jake Gyllenhaal, that is. There have already been comparisons between Jake and Noah Mills, the actor in the song's video, because of how much the two look alike. There are many other similarities, or perhaps clues, in the video.

"Swift's video boyfriend wears a navy blue down vest that's very similar to a jacket Gyllenhaal wore on one of their dates. Then there is the matter of the scarf that the video beau gives her, which reminds us of photos of Swift wearing Gyllenhaal's scarf," said the Huffington Post. "Then there is the bracelet Swift is wearing in the video, which looks suspiciously like the $100,000 one that Gyllenhaal was rumored to have given her for her birthday."

Swift is not talking, and neither is Gyllenhaal. If the song is about him, you can be sure he knows about it since the couple was seen together after they had reportedly broken up, according to the Huffington Post. There is a good chance we won't ever know for sure, and since Swift is happy now with new boyfriend Conor Kennedy, it looks like she is over it.

We were finally just getting used to Miley Cyrus' short hair when Rihanna showed up on the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards red carpet sans her variety of hair extensions. The Barbados-born singer looked fresh and simple in her simply while gown and simple brown strands.

Cyrus, on the other hand, decided to go two-toned with her cleavage-baring dress and bleach blonde strands. She looks a lot like Pink, don't you think?

As for Rihanna, we fully expect to see her in a different hairstyle come next week. Her hairstylist, Ursula Stephen, said Rihanna's hair preferences change from day to day.

"We are always changing it up, experimenting, and having fun with hair. That's what I love to do! Her hairstyle typically changes depending on what's on our agenda, what she's wearing, or how she's feeling," Stephen told BellaSugar last year.

"We take it day by day and event by event, and usually will both bring ideas to the table. It's always a collaboration, which is such a great way to work. It's all about the products that we use to maintain moisture in between all the styling. If we're going heavy with color, we'll lay off the chemical treatments; if her hair needs a break, we'll try a wig or weave. It's all about knowing and understanding the client's hair and reacting to it as you go along."

We're going to give RiRi our pick for best short hairstyle of the night .

Which hairstyle do you prefer: Rihanna's or Miley Cyrus'?

A few years ago, very few people knew who Cee Lo Green was, but now it seems he has his hand in every area of the industry. On top of being a judge on The Voice and being a musician in his own right, it now looks like he will be working with NBC to create a show loosely based on his life.

Green's production company, Emerald Productions, has entered into a deal with NBC in which they get first dibs on new projects he creates, scripted or unscripted, said The Hollywood Reporter.

"As part of the pact, NBC is circling a multicamera comedy loosely based on Green's life balancing his career and home life as a producer and recording artist from Sony Pictures Television and Happy Madison,” said The Hollywood Reporter. "Everybody Hates Chris' Ali Leroi will pen the project and executive produce alongside Green, Primary Wave TV's Andrew Jameson, Primary Wave Music CEO Larry Mestel and Happy Madison's Doug Robinson.”

Green also was just given the title of Chief Creative Officer at Primary Wave Music, a position that will allow him to work on writing and developing music with other artists. It seems everyone is noticing how many projects Green is working on. "Cee Lo is one of the most unique artists that the entertainment world has ever seen," Andrew Jameson, a partner at Emerald Productions, told the Huffington Post. "I am excited to be his partner and look forward to extending his creative vision into the television world."

Green will soon have his hands in parts of the industry he has not yet ventured into. He starred in the recently released Sparkle and is adding his voice to Hotel Transylvania, an animated movie. According to The Huffington Post, he is also working on his very first stage show, Loberace, which is headed to the Hard Rock in Las Vegas.

Beyond the initial news, there is no word on when Green's show will come to fruition, but with his popularity right now, we hope it's sooner rather than later.

Sad news: After two kids and eight years of marriage, Parks & Recreation star Amy Poehler and her Up All Night husband Will Arnett are calling it quits. Their rep confirmed the news to People on Thursday, though no more information is available on the split.

The pair married in August 2003 and has two children — Archibald William Emerson "Archie" Arnett, born in October 2008, and Abel James Arnett, born in August 2010.

Neither Poehler nor Arnett gave any indication there were problems. The pair often poked fun at each other during interviews.

"I'm clearly the dumbest character in the movie," Arnett told USA Today while promoting Blades of Glory in 2007. The pair played a brother-and-sister figure skating duo.

"You're definitely dumber," she deadpanned back.

However, those close to the pair said they couldn't have been more in love.

"They're the funniest married couple I know. They have such a similar sense of humor. They finish each other's sentences," pal Ben Stiller told USA Today at the time. "They work together so well as a couple. It's fun to see their rhythm together, they play off each other so well. Will plays things straight but with an awareness of what's funny. Amy is so good and polished as a live performer and has a funny, quirky sensibility."

Poehler bestie Tina Fey agreed.

"They commit so hard, and they'll do anything," she said. "They're both fantastic-looking people, but they don't care. They'll look goofy. Amy is this beautiful girl, but she'd as soon wear goofy teeth and fright wigs."

This makes us so sad. Let's hope they get back together.

Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong is either feeling better or really good at faking it. The singer performed a raucous version of the group's new single, "Let Yourself Go," live at the 2012 VMAs.

Armstrong was admitted to the hospital earlier this week with "gastric problems" and had to cancel a show in Bologna, Italy, on Sunday. The band was "beyond devasated" that they had to cancel.

"We're as sad as you guys are. Billie's extremely upset about it, and we'll see you very soon," bandmate Tré Cool said after the show was cancelled.

MTV News later caught up with the band when they got back to the States, to get more information on Armstrong's condition.

Green Day version 2.0 goes lighter, brighter? >>

"Billie came down with heavy, heavy dehydration; it was like severe dehydration, influenza, and it was just a really, really bad situation," bandmate Mike Dirnt said. "He woke up in the morning and it was bad. Let's put it this way, if you're in your hotel room and you're vomiting profusely, it's not fun. So what are you gonna do? It's hard to sing while you're puking."

He managed to find his strength for the VMAs by going on a strict regimen of "push-ups, prayers and vitamins."

Billie Joe joins The Voice >>

Don't worry, Italian fans; they haven't forgotten about the missed show.

"We're going to make our way back to Bologna and play that show ASAP," Dirnt added. "We don't miss many shows; we've maybe missed five shows out of our entire career, and we pride ourselves on that, but we're human."

Kevin Hart told reporters earlier this week that he planned to go after all celebrities equally during the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards — and he didn't mince any words. First up, he tried to settle the beef between Chris Brown and Drake, telling the crowd that Drake likes to recycle and he thought a recycling bin was next to Brown's head.

"Drake and Chris Brown, I'm gonna nip this in the bud tonight," he added.

Cameras panned to Drake, Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj after that joke — they didn't seem too pleased.

Next up? Kristen Stewart. Despite rumors that her affair with Rupert Sanders would be off limits, Hart launched into a rant about why it's not that big of a deal.

"She made a mistake," he told a cheering crowd. We have to agree! Let the poor girl alone. Too bad Robert Pattinson — scheduled to present at the show — wasn't in the audience for that comment. We'd have loved to see his reaction.

Hart also touched on Snooki's new baby. The Jersey Shore star isn't at the VMAs, but that didn't stop him from giving her a bit of advice.

"I don't want you to do something crazy with that baby like spray paint it orange," he joked.

First award of the night — for Best Pop Video — went to One Direction for "What Makes You Beautiful."

"We’ve grown up watching this show, so to even be here is an honor," said Niall Horan. "We’d like to thank the most important people, our fans, who helped us win this award."

What do you think of the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards so far?

Over the past few months, American Idol has been under construction. Thus far, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler have left their judging posts, while Randy Jackson has moved on to a mentoring role.

Randy Jackson "forced" to quit as Idol judge? >>

The producers and Fox have been pooling talent to find the best replacements. The hottest singers, songwriters and rappers have been rumored to be ready to fill the empty spots. But only Grammy winner Mariah Carey has been confirmed. So who's next on the list?

Now Enrique Iglesias is supposedly joining American Idol >>

In August, Enrique Iglesias was pegged as a potential judge. His name was one of many candidates, including Keith Urban, Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry and Alanis Morissette. According to Entertainment Weekly, the job is Enrique's for the taking.

Mariah Carey replaces Jennifer Lopez on American Idol >>

Sources close to American Idol confirm that Iglesias has received an official offer. The amount in question is rumored to be around $4 million, which is similar to Urban's deal. Iglesias just wrapped a world tour, where he shared the bill with former Idol judge Jennifer Lopez. Coincidence? We think not.

Were Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez asked to leave Idol? >>

Before you get too excited about the singer's involvement, you should know one thing: Iglesias is known for turning down reality shows. Prior to AI, he was offered jobs on The X Factor and NBC's The Voice. But with his tour complete and his schedule open, perhaps he'll have a change of heart?

Do you think Enrique should accept the offer?

The long-awaited new season of The X Factor, with judges Britney Spears and Demi Lovato, is finally set to premiere next week, and one person involved in the show is not very happy. Simon Cowell today called out NBC for its decision to add a third night of The Voice to directly compete with The X Factor's season premiere.

"It is a spoiling tactic. They don't want people to see this first episode," Cowell said to Reuters. "I think it is mean-spirited, and I hope and I pray it backfires on them because this is one of the best shows we have ever made."

Cowell of course never minded when his other show, American Idol, aired multiple times a week in competition with basically everything else on TV at the time. When Cowell left that show, he went to The X Factor, and he is obviously very proud of his new achievements. But it could be argued that The Voice has now taken an even larger part of American Idol's original glory and audience than has The X Factor, thanks to Voice hosts Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, Blake Shelton and Cee Lo Green.

"I am pissed off about it, because I think there's a kind of gentleman's agreement ," said Cowell. "But we have to rely that the viewers will make the right selection."

According to Reuters, the first season of Cowell's show did not do very well, so he replaced two judges with Spears and Lovato. Just the news behind the shooting of the new season has caused enough buzz to get people watching, and there is no doubt The X Factor and The Voice are in direct competition.

Cowell mentioned more than himself, though, and said Spears would also be upset at the news. "Britney's not going to appreciate the fact that Christina — who has been a bit of a rival — isn't allowing Britney to have a night of her own," Cowell told TMZ, according to Reuters. "She's going to be devastated because she has put her heart and soul into this."

The X Factor will premiere on Sept. 12th and 13th on Fox, and The Voice will premiere on Sept. 10th, 11th and now on the 12th as well.

What better way to celebrate your birthday than with a VIP ticket to the Video Music Awards.

That's how British boy-band heartthrob Max George is celebrating his, as he and his four bandmates of The Wanted make their first visit to the VMAs.

"It’s my birthday today," George told SheKnows this afternoon at the 2012 NBA Baller Beats for Xbox 360 VMA Lounge. "If we don't lose, we're on the booze. Hopefully, afterwards everyone can be together and have a beer."

The guys are nominated for Best New Artist tonight against One Direction, Carly Rae Jepsen, Frank Ocean and Fun.

"It's very exciting," Jay McGuiness told us as he and the guys tried out some headphones from Velodyne Acoustics.

But the VMAs aren't the only exciting U.S. experience for the band. Tom Parker told us last night that they ran into John Mayer, someone they'd love to collaborate with. Other acts they'd love to team up with include Rihanna and Lady Gaga.

"Obviously, people like Rihanna or Gaga would be great because the revenue would be super," said Nathan Sykes.

But tonight the boys are just excited to see some favorite singers.

When asked who they are most excited to see tonight, Siva Kaneswaran told us, "Alicia Keys, she's an amazing singer. And Pink, she's a great live act; she always brings an incredible performance."

As for their favorite song, Max sang it for us, "Let's go to the beach, beach," a la Nicki Minaj.

Be sure to catch the band and all the other amazing acts on the MTV VMAs, tonight at 8/7c.
