The MTV Video Music Awards are moving to the home of the Lakers: Staples Center in Los Angeles.

The 2012 MTV Video Music Awards will air live from Staples Center in Los Angeles on Thursday, September 6, at 8 p.m. ET/PT. Stay tuned for more info on the big show, including how you can vote for your favorite artists!
