Unlike some gossip blogs, Jossip will not be heading down to South Beach this weekend for the excuse to drown in Cristal otherwise known as the MTV VMAs.

We're a Manhattan blog, damnit, and we refuse to let publicists tell us where and when we should be appearing, especially when it's outside the confines of this borough.

Who cares if they're handing out $26,000 gift bags? It's not like we'll be seeing a MTV-branded iPod shuffle or a Paul Frank timepiece.

So we're following the sage advice of our mother: appear when and where she tells us to. Rather than wade through the throngs of party crashers and gift bags, we'll be at the beach house, which may or not be code for crashing Robert Downey Jr.'s wedding.

Beside, how else would we cotinue our mission of snatching items from "professional" gossipists?

But will someone please bring us back a PSP? Thanks.
