One Direction to go and it’s up for pop idols

There may have been no signature moment at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards, but there was a signature sound: the screams of teenage girls wild about One Direction.

It stopped just short of a British invasion, but the hunky teens in the boy band won three awards and barged in on Rihanna’s party.

Rihanna kicked off things with a spicy performance to open the night’s show, then ended it by taking the show’s top honour, video of the year, for her steamy hit ‘We Found Love’.
