SCISSOR SISTERS did their own MTV show in London while the awards were going on in New York — and it was every bit as Filthy and Gorgeous.
ANA MATRONIC made a few very risque gags about MICHAEL JACKSON which won’t make the edited TV show, I’m sure.
She and frontman JAKE SHEARS did a Filthy simulated sex scene dressed in Gorgeous gold outfits
The set list included old favourites including Take Your Mama Out and Comfortably Numb and showcased tracks from their new album Ta-Dah.

SCISSORS' ANA IS SO CUTTING
MTV Video Music Awards Live! - Scissor Sisters Koko Club, London
Eva Simpson & Caroline Hedley
FANS of the Scissor Sisters expect more than just songs at the outrageous band's gigs - and they generally get it.
Covered from head to toe in gold sparkles, singer Ana Matronic told filthy jokes about the Jackson family at a showcase for their new album in London on Thursday.
She laughed at Janet Jackson's fashion sense, saying: "I was with friends in San Francisco when we saw her walking towards us in leggings and a T-shirt. She was all up in our faces. I believe the term is crack whore."
And that's polite compared to the joke she told about Wacko! Then she tried to make amends by saying: "But we do love the Jackson family though." Ana, Jake Shears and co burst on stage at the Koko club in Camden with their hit Take Your Mama, to rapturous applause.
The American glam rockers had the crowd in a frenzy with oldies Laura and Comfortably Numb.
Tracks from album Ta-Dah - out on September 18 - included the touching ballad She's My Man about Hurricane Katrina. Filthy Gorgeous was the climax as Ana dedicated it "to all the trannies out there". The set, on MTV on September 24, proves the Scissors still cut it.
