VMAs to feature time travel, black carpet, Lady Gaga (Reuters)

LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) ? Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards will feature an indoor black carpet, a theme of the space-time continuum of music, and something from Lady Gaga that we've never seen before.

That's the word from MTV president Stephen Friedman and VMA executive producer Jesse Ignjatovic, who revealed the concept behind this year's show exclusively to TheWrap, as well as an exclusive look at the stage design.

"We were looking at our audience and the way they interact and engage with music today, and thinking, how do we bring that to television?" said Ignjatovic, who pitched his concept to MTV back in January.

"You can go to your computer and hang with the new Kanye track, and then go to an Otis Redding track. Or listen to Katy Perry and then jump to the '70s and listen to Led Zeppelin.

"So our jumping-off point was that idea of people being able to engage with music in a timeless way, on transporting you on a journey through a space-time continuum of music."

Also along for the journey, Friedman revealed, will be the latest round of show participants, who were confirmed on Tuesday: Will Ferrell, Jack Black, Zoe Saldana, Victoria Justice and Kevin Hart. MTV announced Wednesday that Beyonce had been added to the list of performers.

As for this space-time continuum thing, it'll start with the red carpet -- which won't be red, and won't be outside the Nokia Theater.

Instead, the black carpet will travel through the lobby of the adjacent J.W. Marriott hotel, and it will create an immersive environment that kicks off the theme of the show.

But have no fear, diehard MTV watchers: the preshow will also feature red-carpet hostess Selena Gomez and the cast of

"Jersey Shore."

"They're going to be in attendance," said Friedman of Snooki, the Situation and crew.

"They'll definitely be involved in the pre-show. And we're trying to figure out a way to fit some of them into the show as well."

That show, as MTV previously announced, will also include a tribute to the late Amy Winehouse and a salute to the not-so-departed Britney Spears.

It will begin with a performance by Lady Gaga, about which Friedman will only say, "It's something the world has never seen from her. The last time she performed on the show she raised the bar, and this is going to be unlike anything she has ever done."

Then again, reinventing the wheel is the whole point of the VMAs; where most awards shows have a firm template and can only make minor changes year to year, MTV's extravaganza varies dramatically from one show to the next. (The channel may be celebrating its 30th anniversary, but they barely mentioned the milestone except on their older-skewing sister channel VH1.)

"We almost have to do that, given who our audience is," said Friedman. "Every few years we have to reinvent everything to stay in touch with our audience. And with this show, the presumption is that if we did it last year, we really don't want to do it this year."

"It's almost a year-round job," added Ignjatovic. "You finish one show, and you have to immediately start thinking about what you should do differently next year."

Still, both men know that what viewers remember about the VMAs -- far more than many of the planned set pieces, and certainly more than who wins the awards -- are the unexpected water-cooler moments that can't be mapped out in advance: Kanye West interrupting Taylor Swift's acceptance speech to sing the praises of Beyonce, Eminem snapping at Triumph the Insult Comic Dog and feuding with Moby mid-show.

"There's no question that we can plan up to a certain point, but the show has an energy to it and things are going to start happening," said Ignjatovic.

And when Kanye has his "imma let you finish" moment while Swift is trying to talk, what goes through their minds backstage? "Oh my God, what's happening?", or "This will be a great water-cooler moment!"?

"The honest answer?" said Friedman. "Both."

Stocks turn higher after deficit report

NEW YORK?? Stocks erased initial losses and turned positive on Wednesday after the Congressional Budget Office said the recent budget deal will slice projected budget deficits nearly in half over the next 10 years.

The Dow Jones industrial average gained 21.42 points, or 0.19 percent, to 11,198.18. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index rose 2.75 points, or 0.24 percent, to 1,165.10. The Nasdaq Composite Index added 2.84 points, or 0.12 percent, to 2,448.90.

The federal budget deficit will hit $1.28 trillion this year, down slightly from the previous two years, with even bigger savings to come over the next decade, according to congressional projections released Wednesday.

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says budget deficits will be reduced by a total $3.3 trillion over the next decade, largely because of the deficit reduction package passed by Congress earlier this month.

Stocks were also supported a bit by a government report before the open that showed companies placed more orders for aircraft, automobiles and other durable goods rose in July. Orders for longer-lasting goods rose 4 percent in July, the biggest increase since March. Orders had dropped 1.3 percent in June.

Hopes that Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke would announce new stimulus for a struggling U.S. economy fueled a 3 percent rally in stocks on Tuesday.

Bernanke speaks to a central bank conference on Friday in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Analysts were divided on how much scope the Fed has for further stimulus.

Concerns about the economy's strength and the euro zone's sovereign debt crisis have sparked sharp volatility in the past two weeks, and the magnitude of Tuesday's rally echoed the steep moves.

Story: U.S. durable goods orders up more than expected

Applied Materials Inc is scheduled to report quarterly results later Wednesday.

Bank of America Corp could remain in focus a day after the Dow component fell to 2-1/2-year lows on fears it may have to raise massive amounts of capital. The stock rose slightly in early trrading.

Delta Air Lines Inc is expected to order 100 Boeing Co extended-range 737 planes to replace older aircraft, sources said.

U.S. stocks shot higher Tuesday on hopes for Fed action, giving investors hope that a four-week rout was ending. Technology and other growth stocks drove most of the gains, with the Nasdaq rising more than 4 percent.

Reuters contributed to this report.

Celebrity Baby Scoop: Celebrity moms and Michaels say 'The family ...

Crafty mama Holly Robinson Peete gathered a few of her friends ? including actress Ali Landry ? together this week to help launch Michaels Family Craft Night in Los Angeles.

Though her gig as co-host of The Talk and her work with the HollyRod Foundation keep her busy, Holly always makes time for projects with her kids Ryan, Rodney, Robinson and Roman. She and her fellow famous moms chatted with Celebrity Baby Scoop about the importance of family fun and creativity.

On Michaels Family Craft Night:

Holly Robinson Peete: Michaels is really one of our favorite go-to stores for all of our school projects. My daughter makes stop motion videos. We go there and actually have a whole Michaels prop box. As a parent, I think it?s great that Michaels is offering a resource for families who want to spend focused time together having fun and making memories away from all the distractions of daily life. The family that crafts together, stays together.

On getting creative with the kids:

HRP: We do a lot of different things. ? We also enjoy getting a big giant poster board which we post pictures on and we decorate the pictures with different sayings, words and lettering.

On favorite family memories:

Ali Landry: It?s those memories of sitting down at our kitchen table as a kid with our box of crafts and really creating things and talking to my mom. Now, especially with my own daughter, it is doing the same things and even going to the same store, Michaels, that I went to as a kid.

HRP: The kids went to Michaels and got unfinished birdhouses and decorated with paint, sand, sparkles, you name it, they used it. I walked in and was surprised with these handmade gifts for Mothers Day. It was one of the sweetest gifts, I still get chills from it. There is something so sweet and innocent with homemade gifts.

Michaels Family Craft Night

?We listened to our customers who said they want to spend more focused time with their kids, but needed ideas and projects that engage the whole family,? said Michaels Senior Director of Digital Marketing & PR Anthony Price. ?Michaels Family Craft Night and The Knack offer a solution to time-starved families who want activities that bring their families together, spark creativity and make memories that last a lifetime.?

All components of The Knack, including monthly themed project suggestions to get families started, can be found on The Knack?s engaging, newly designed website at www.michaels.com/theknack

Michaels works with child development experts at Cook Children?s Medical Center in Fort Worth, Texas, to evaluate The Knack?s projects and give parents a resource that enhances their child?s development with age-appropriate, fun creative projects they can do at home whenever they choose.
