Each of the performers scheduled to appear at this year's MTV Video Music Awards --
Lily Allen, Chris Brown, Fall Out Boy, Rihanna,
Timbaland,
Kanye West,
Amy Winehouse and the
Foo Fighters -- gathered in Santa Monica, Calif., recently for an exclusive photo shoot with iconic photographer and film director David LaChapelle. The troupe was also treated to a preview of West's new album, 'Graduation,' due Sept. 11, and of all the tracks, the overwhelming favorite among the performers -- according to MTV's on-set crew -- is 'Stronger.'
All of the photos, though available individually, can be pieced together as part of a larger panoramic that underscores the VMA's Las Vegas-themed event -- specifically, the city's Palms Hotel.
