Lady Gaga's BFF Perez Hilton can't wait for people to see what the nine-time-nominated entertainer has up her sleeve for this year's Video Music Awards on September 13. Gaga is in an epic battle against Beyoncé for Moonmen, but everyone really just wants to know what kind of wacky outfits and performance she'll put on when she gets there.

Hilton promises that the New York native is certainly going to get everyone pumped from the moment she makes her way to the show. "I was with Gaga in Japan recently, and we absolutely talked about the VMAs," Hilton said. "I'm going to be Gaga's date. Well, I'm not going to be on the carpet with Gaga, because Gaga might be having some special guests with her — that's all I can say. I can't reveal too much. Special guests!"

The self-proclaimed Gossip Gangster said fans should also expect surprises in Gaga's performance, which he described as "next-level."

"I think, without a doubt, Gaga's gonna be that big star of the night, just because her performance really is next-level," he said. "That's the thing about her: She's always trying to top herself, and I think she's going to."

The 2009 MTV Video Music Awards will take place September 13 at 9 p.m. ET. Additional celebrity presenters and performers will be announced in the coming weeks. To be the first to find out the inside scoop, follow the Inside MTV Twitter account at Twitter.com/InsideMTV.
