Tokio Hotel makes history with VMA noms
Thank you to Coolbreezegirl for this info! only two german videos have been nominated in the past for VMA. Sadness part 1 by Enigma in the early 90s (late 80s?) and Be my Lover by la Boucheóm ten years ago. Both these artists only had one nom each. TH is the only one that has double nominations and also one for artist and not just video. If we also vote enough for Video of the Year they might even score 3 noms! major Epic. But even if they don't they have still made music history.
THs presence there at the red carpet (well mostly Bill to be honest) will guarantee them pics in mainstream North American media as well as in the rest of the world; all over Europe, Latin America and Asia. If TH will win it will generate big headlines even in markets where they are less known like in UK and people will pay attention. TH at VMA saves Interscope millions and millions in marketing costs because it is all free publicity. Win-win situation for both TH, label and us fans all over the world!

Bus Stop
All future superstars aboard: A bus shelter in the hometown of twin stars Bill and Tom Kaulitz of Tokio Hotel is for sale on Ebay for €14,600.
It's not often that Ebay customers bid thousands of euros for bits of an old, vandalized bus stop from small town eastern Germany. But this week, the roof and the walls of a shelter in the tiny settlement of Loitsche are up for auction (German only) -- and combined, the six pieces are going for €14,600.
It's not just any bus stop of course. The shelter stands outside the childhood home of twin Tokio Hotel stars Bill and Tom Kaulitz and it has long been something of a pilgrimage site for thousands of pen- and paint-wielding fans. The shelter has been divided into six parts, with one of the side walls -- the one emblazoned with the message "Tom & Bill - all the best" scrawled over a large, black heart -- going for €4,000. For bargain hunters, a piece of the roof is currently priced at €500. The auction can best be found by searching under "Loitsche."
All of the pieces are available under Ebay's "buy it now" option and so far, no offers have been made and none sold. According to a town spokesperson on Sunday, around 100 people have come to the town to inspect the sections up for sale. One complained about the high price of the dubious souvenirs.
If the bus stop parts aren't sold within 10 days, they will be sawed into even smaller pieces and auctioned off separately to the highest bidders. Locals seem happy to be rid of the memorial to the pop stars: "A lot of fans came to visit and immortalized themselves in graffiti, drawings, and text, much to the distress of the community," reads the sale Web site.
