No matter what stars were grabbing headlines this year — from Taylor Swift to Jay-Z to Drake to Shakira to Adam Lambert — they no doubt had some sort of encounter with the MTV News team. Whether on location or right in the MTV Newsroom, every star worth talking to sat down for a chat with one correspondent or another.
Some of the best stories of the year came out of our travels around the country. We got the chance to hang out with Paramore in Tennessee and hung out with Lil Wayne and the rest of the crew from the America’s Most Wanted Tour when they kicked everything off in Scranton, Pennsylvania. We rubbed elbows with the Jonas Brothers in Texas and stormed New Orleans in search of the Pussycat Dolls.
But some of the biggest stars ended up right here in the Newsroom, from Alicia Keys and 50 Cent to Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt. Through it all, the MTV Newsroom blog brought you the inside scoop on what it has been like hanging out with some of the biggest stars of music, movies, television and beyond.
Producer Akshay Bhansali has been snapping photos all throughout the year, keeping track of where we’ve been and who we’ve talked to. He put together a compendium of some of the best shots. Enjoy the all the inside pics, and know that 2010 will keep bringing more behind-the-scenes excitement, all of which you can find right here on the MTV Newsroom blog.
