9:00 PM — It's showtime, peeps! Gotta run inside to catch all of Gaga's performance - what will she doooo? More accurately, what WON'T she do?
8:59 PM — PLUS: Let me also tell you about the time I asked Jared Leto "who are you wearing?" And we both took a beat to consider the douche-factor of the question at which point he responded "myself." And then I looked chagrined so he turned his eyes to STUN and just said, "oh, it's all old stuff." Mortified. But, whatever, also 100 percent worth it. Jordan. Catalano.

4:08 PM — OK, so you wanna know what one of my favorite (secret) things about live production is when it comes to our MEGA IMPORTANT STAR-STUDDED GLAMORAMA shows? It's so dorky but I love that you get to see the subterranean offices in stadiums like Barclays or else plot out the weird little short cuts in the Sony backlot or the Nokia theater in L.A. when you're dashing from place to place. You get weirdly attached to the rhythm and routine of navigating a place that feels SO BIG on the first day and then gets more and more intimate. I can't believe this is the same place that I saw Beyoncé and Rihanna. Oddly, it doesn't "kill the magic." It makes everything more exciting.

3:54 PM — Robin Thicke is here. Everybody's freaking out. Ha. I love how the hordes of fans outside the barricade have the words "Party City" as their backdrop from the store across the street. Lolpropriate.

3:00 PM — Received a super-secret dispatch from various powers that be of DETAILS outlining what Grimes and Rachel will be wearing this evening. I am planning my outfit accordingly and STEALING ALL THEIR IDEAS.
12:00 PM — I am filled with one part self-loathing and who-knows-how-many parts indecision. BUT also ALL the adrenaline.
11:59 AM — ACK. I'm totally just going to end up wearing something I wore to one of the three thousand weddings I've been to this year. Or a romper. Best part of wearing a romper at live events? GETTING TO BE TOTALLY NAKED IN THE BATHROOM STALL/Port-a-potty. Meow. What to do?
11:55 AM — Wow. I really don't know what I'm going to wear. Usually, I go for Reformation but this other Kova & T dress may be the one. Why didn't I have something pulled for me? WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? I think maybe it's because the VMAs are in my backyard this year. Brooklyn we GO HARD. As in... we go procrastinatey.
11:45 AM — I'm so doing that thing of not being able to decide if I should wash my hair and allow it to look dry and puffy or else risk it and go unwashed because it looks good RIGHT NOW... too bad the show's in 9 hours.
11:18 AM — Lol. This reminds me of how :/ Grimes and Rachel were yesterday at rehearsal when they asked, "What happens if we need to pee?" I told them they had to suck it up while they were hosting. Rachel declared that she may wet herself in defiance. I may do the same. Safety in numbers.
11:17 AM — Drinking all the coffee in the whole wide world.
