Behind-the-scenes at the MTV Video Music Awards were far more entertaining than the boring action on stage. Actor Jared Leto (2nd from left) poses with his band members 30 Seconds to Mars at Radio City Music Hall in New York for the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards held on August 31, 2006.

(UPI Photo/Ezio Petersen)According to The New York Post's Mary Huhn, who reported from the pressroom: “A grumpy Jared Leto, who stars as John Lennon's killer in an upcoming film and whose group 30 Seconds to Mars won the MTV2 award, flipped when asked by a foreign reporter to sing his favorite Beatles song. Leto asked the journo where he was from and, after being told Amsterdam, Leto snapped, ‘Don't embarrass your country!’ "“After winning the best pop-video award for Stupid Girls, Pink noted, 'Nick Lachey and Nicole Richie giving me the award was ironic. I can appreciate the irony.' "“Andre 3000 set the record straight, saying he missed his party at the Soho Grand's Dome blaming “CPT” "I have a problem with time."“Chamillionaire, who won for best rap video, said he hadn't expected to win even though 'a psychic told me I was going to win. That was crazy.' " “Axl Rose promised that his album Chinese Democracy, the Guns N' Roses project he's been working on for 12 years, will be out by the end of the year.” The coup de gace was Paris Hilton goading Nicole Richie. A Post spy reported, "Nicole and [boyfriend] Brody Jenner were sitting on the sofa in the green room when Paris walked in." In front of LL Cool J, Jay-Z and others, "Paris ran up to Brody, threw her arms around his neck and squealed, 'Hello.' She started whispering in his ear and kissing his neck - and Nicole was getting really mad."The final straw for Richie was when Jenner "actually turned his back on her to talk some more with Paris." Richie finally grabbed Jenner's arm and hissed, "Let's go.”
