Why that necessitated a platinum wig, we may never know. This was just a few months after she flashed David Letterman atop his desk. She was obviously... trying things. ## Madonna ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2025/09/GettyImages-77619577-1757041369.jpg) Madonna (Photo by Kevin Mazur Archive/WireImage) This is so SENSIBLE for Madonna. And indeed, this is about five months before she started shooting Evita, so she probably WAS trying to be aggressively sensible. ## Courtney Love ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2025/09/GettyImages-115424130-1757041116.jpg) Courtney Love during The 12th Annual MTV Video Music Awards at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, New York, United States.

The 2020s have trained me to look for shenanigans that aren't there. ## Claire Danes ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2025/09/GettyImages-115487595-1757041083.jpg) Claire Danes during The 12th Annual MTV Video Music Awards at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, New York, United States.

(Photo by Steve Eichner/WireImage) I wonder if Lil Nas X had a Dennis Rodman Pinterest board at any point. ## Bebe Buell, Liv Tyler, Mia Tyler ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2025/09/GettyImages-115316472-1757041137.jpg) Bebe Buell, Liv Tyler & Mia Tyler during The 12th Annual MTV Video Music Awards at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, New York, United States. (Photo by Steve Eichner/WireImage) Whenever I complain about lighting on the red carpet, I need to remember how bad it once was. ## Cheryl "Salt" James, Deidre "Spinderella" Roper and Sandra "Pepa" Denton of Salt-N-Pepa ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2025/09/GettyImages-115316520-1757041148.jpg) Cheryl "Salt" James, Deidre "Spinderella" Roper and Sandra "Pepa" Denton of Salt-N-Pepa (Photo by Steve Eichner/WireImage) I assume Spinderella cut it up one time. ## Darius Rucker, Michael Stipe ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2025/09/GettyImages-111190904-1757041184.jpg) Darius Rucker and Michael Stipe during 1995 MTV Video Music Awards Show at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, New York, United States.

(Photo by Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic, Inc) UM. This is especially awkward given... well, all the discussions that have since been had about her brother. Just... I bet she'd like this one back. ## Wesley Snipes ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2025/09/GettyImages-105854221-1757041217-scaled.jpg) Wesley Snipes during The 12th Annual MTV Video Music Awards at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, New York, United States. (Photo by Ron Galella, Ltd./Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images) I cannot ever see him without hearing Michael Sheen say, "There is ONLY ONE WESTLEY SNIPES."
