Hey all,

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7714498.stm

The MTV Music Awards got started tonight in Liverpool, and the winner of Best Live Act is none other than "Rick Astley".

All you folks that refreshed and voted for him should pat yourself on the back

BBC News said:
"And Rick Astley was named Best Act Ever, after an internet campaign to orchestrate votes for the 80s star.

However, he declined to accept his award in person, leaving gossip blogger Perez Hilton to collect the prize on his behalf."
