Reefer Madness

The 2008 MTV Movie Awards took place last night...

Mike Myers was the host of the always unpredictable live event and did an ok job...

As for the winners Depp, 'Transformers' came up big

Meanwhile, Pineapple Express stars Seth Rogen and James Franco raised a few eyebrows during their presentation of the Best Summer Movie So Far...

Mark J. Terrill of AP:

They pulled out a bag of "fake weed" and a "fake fatty joint" _ and proceeded to light it.

"Kids, don't really smoke fake weed like this," Rogan told the crowd at the Gibson Amphitheatre, with a degree of sarcasm to suggest that the only fake thing was the idea that it was fake.

As they lit up, the MTV cameras pulled to an extremely wide angle, staying that way until Rogan and Franco left the stage. The awkward moment made some in the audience laugh, but left Robert Downey Jr. _ who accepted the award on behalf of "Iron Man" _ with a puzzled look



Franco Backstage: MTV Gave Us Bag of 'Fake Weed'

The bit may have been a bit odd and off-putting for the 8 0'clock hour in prime time-but ultimately I say it's really no big deal. Youngsters can see far worse on the cable and broadcast nets in the afternoon on any given day,

"Express" opens August 8th.
