Manager slams Perez Hilton’s attack on Bill
“Tokio Hotel aren’t faking it!”

Tokio Hotel’s manager has rubbished claims by celebrity blogger Perez Hilton that lead singer Bill has been faking his US tour concerts – and called him an “internet brat”.

The spat comes after Hollywood gossip legend Perez Hilton labelled Bill Kaulitz and the band “pathetic” on his world famous blog for not playing and singing live during their recent concerts.

But Tokio Hotel manager David Jost slammed the attacks as utter nonsense: “The band having been playing their butts off. And of course Bill sings live!”

Jost added jokingly: “Anyone who has been once to a Tokio Hotel concert knows that. But perhaps we can profit from rumours to the contrary. If anyone who hasn’t yet been to a Tokio Hotel concert and still doubts that they play live now takes the opportunity to buy a ticket for their next concert, then we might think about employing this internet brat [Perez Hilton] as a concert promoter.”

Whether celebrity guru Perez Hilton will take up this offer remains to be seen…

OK, so I’ve heard your shouting and read your missives. You want — nay, demand — that Britney Spears and Danity Kane end up on some sort of year-end list (you also want me fired, it would appear). Well, it looks like you might be in luck … about the list, not the firing, sadly.

Because while no amount of nasty comments is going to get me to budge when it comes to my list of the Best Songs of 2008, the brain trust here at MTV News has figured out a way to appease you — all of you.

See, while my list of songs was, well, mine (novel concept for a column, I know), it wasn’t exactly representative of — how do I put this? — reality. Sure, things like “radio play” and “video streams” were taken into consideration, but they were weighed against things like “is this song terrible?” or “can I live with myself if I include ‘Womanizer’ on my list?” So, we’ve dug deep in our techno-vaults and come up with a list of songs that is 100 percent based on reality. Actually, it’s based entirely on you.

We’ve compiled the Top 25 Music Videos of 2008, as determined by streams on MTV.com. No opinions, no rock criticisms, no bands you’ve never heard of (God forbid!). Just pure numbers — eDemocacy in action, as it were — because each click, in a sense, was a vote. And so, without further ado, here’s your list of the best videos of the year. Looks like we’ve got two songs in common … there’s no accounting for taste, I guess.

25. Soulja Boy Tell’em - “Yahhh!”
24. Paramore - “Decode”
23. Day26 - “Got Me Going”
22. Tokio Hotel - “Monsoon”
21. Rihanna - “Disturbia”
20. Madonna - “Four Minutes”
19. Rihanna - “Don’t Stop the Music”
18. Danity Kane - “Bad Girl”

13. Usher - “Love in This Club”
