The 2009 MTV Movie Awards were handed out last night, and the film-centric show featured a few notable musical moments. Eminem performed, but was also the focus of the most talked-about event of the show. Sasha Baron Cohen (as his character Brüno) was lifted over the crowd, wearing angel wings, and dropped into Em's lap with his bare bottom right in the rapper's face. Eminem and his posse stormed off angrily, though the whole scene was likely staged. Also, Miley Cyrus won Best Song From A Movie for "The Climb." And as expected, Twilight was the big winner of the night, with five awards in total.Scott Weiland says that Stone Temple Pilots have written 18 new songs for their comeback album.

And if he could make records with the [Rolling] Stones and all their shenanigans... then he can handle STP," Weiland said. As previously reported, STP will play a brief summer tour.
