Stars of the music world hit the red carpet and the stage at tonight's MTV EMAs held in Berlin, Germany. The ladies were decked out in black and cream, with Beyonce and Katy Perry standing out in their long gowns. Bar Refaeli looked gorgeous as usual, but the dress was a bit of a departure from her usual style. The guys were the one with the stand out makeup trend of the night - guyliner  - though the Jonas Brothers weren't feeling the need to participate. Tell us what you think about all the looks here on FabSugar UK.

Inside, Jay-Z performed and looked adorable posing with his wife backstage while Brody Jenner smiled with Miranda Cosgrove. She also stepped out in a sexy red costume and was the biggest winner of the night taking home three awards! Lady Gaga, U2 and Jay-Z were also among the artists who will be packing up their statues for the flight home. Katy Perry had a handful of costume changes, but her man Russell Brand wasn't there to give her a hand with that - check out all the big performances here.

Backstreet Boy Brian Littrell has come down with an illness that’s bound to get him much more coverage than the press tour for their new album he’s had to postpone - Littrell has contracted the dreaded swine flu! Oh no! This isn’t the only H1N1 celebrity story in the press this week - production has been shut down on the Fox show Bones because lead actor David Boreanaz has the flu.

Those pigs just ruin everything! First Bones and now BSB!

The Backstreet Boys have been forced to put their media blitz for their new album—This Is Us, out tomorrow—on hold as Brian Littrell has been diagnosed with swine flu.
Needless to say, New York appearances scheduled for today and tomorrow have been canceled in light of the illness.

“We were really looking forward to spending time with our closest fans and friends in NYC,” Littrell says in a statement. “I hope we can come back soon and do everything we can to help.”

Thankfully, doctors declared Nick Carter, Howie Dorough and A.J. McLean are H1N1-free, but prescribed Tamiflu to the group and their touring party, who had just returned to the U.S. from Tokyo.

While swine flu is no oinking laughing matter, something tells us this diagnosis may provide healthier awareness for their album than that media blitz.

My son, who’s five, got the flu on Saturday. We didn’t take him to the pediatrician as he was much better by Monday and it was a holiday here on Saturday. (Plus I’ve read that the recommended treatment, Tamiflu, isn’t that great for kids.) He came down with a fever of 102, was caughing and felt sick to his stomach with a headache. Those are symptoms of the H1N1 virus, or swine flu, but they’re also the symptoms of regular flu and we never got confirmation of what he had. I was a little freaked out at first, but he was acting fine after taking children’s ibuprofen so I put aside the initial urge to take him to the emergency room. My husband and I are achy and run down with some stomach problems but are otherwise ok. I’ve had much worse cases of flu.

I do suspect my son had the H1N1 virus and that he’s mostly recovered now. I feel relieved after all the scary things I’ve read. There’s some rumblings that it’s been needlessly hyped by the media, but my husband is a scientist and he says that it’s kind of warranted because of the way the virus mutated. As it is, a lot of people have caught it and recovered. According to the CDC swine flu isn’t more deadly than regular seasonal flu at this time of year although more people are seeking treatment for it. We’ll have to see what happens this flu season and if it gets worse. You can’t say people aren’t aware of it, that’s for sure.
