Gaga Earns Record Breaking 13 VMA Nominations

Lady Gaga isn't just smashing records on the pop charts, she's also making awards-show history.

The Grammy Winning singer, 24, scored 13 MTV Video Music Award nominations Tuesday - the most ever received by any artist in a single year. The 2010 MTV Video Music Awards will air live September 12 at 9 p.m. EST.

"I'm so honored for all the little monsters and self-professed freaks of the universe, to have more VMA nominations in a single year than any other artist in MTV history," says Gaga. "Ironically, I'm even more proud it's an unlucky number: 13."

She adds: "A long time ago the world told me and my little monsters we would never be heard, together we changed the rules. God put me on Earth for three reasons: To make loud music, gay videos and cause a damn raucous. Thank you, MTV!"
