LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
The MTV Video Music Awards arrivals are a circus – literally.
Hip-hop producer T-Pain rode into the red carpet at Paramount studios on Sunday on an elephant, dressed all in red as a ringmaster with an enormous top hat.
“This is my beautiful girl!” he told MTV’s John Norris.
The elephant – possibly the same one that appeared in a promo spot with Britney Spears and host Russell Brand – wore a metal faceplate. Access Hollywood spotted the animal hosing off in preparation for the ceremony earlier on Sunday afternoon.
And a pair of punk bands turned the red carpet into an auto show, as Tokio Hotel drove in on a monster truck and Paramore went a more environment-friendly route, coming in a pair of blue and red Smart cars.
“I think it’s a good idea,” lead singer Hayley Williams told MTV.
