Justin Bieber had a baby-sized surprise for his fans on the MuchMusic Video Awards red carpet.
The 18-year-old pop star from Stratford, Ont., arrived with his little brother in his arms, eliciting even more screams from the hordes who stood outside Much headquarters all day for a chance to see the show.
And Bieber, set to close the annual awards bash, was clearly the main attraction. Fans clutched cardboard cutouts of his head, waved marriage proposals hastily scrawled on gigantic signs and wore purple and red headbands with his name written across.
Earlier in the day, some industrious Bieber followers were even spotted trying to squeeze underneath fencing set up around the perimeter of the stage in the hopes of possibly catching a glimpse of the singer.
Outrageous electro-pop duo LMFAO opened the show with a mashup medley of their ubiquitous dancefloor hits. The irreverent duo took the stage surrounded by acrobatic dancers (including someone in a plush pink bear costume and several inflatabale zebras) before eventually stripping to thongs.
With the threat of rain hovering, many fans were clad in yellow plastic slickers — and they came in handy when LMFAO popped a couple bottles and sprayed the contents indiscriminately across the first few rows.

The MMVAs always promise splashy red-carpet introductions and this year's was no different.
Katy Perry stole the pre-show by arriving with a line of kids, each dressed up as characters created by the pop bombshell which appear in the music videos culled from her smash sophomore album “Teenage Dream.”
Carly Rae Jepsen arrived in a convertible being polished by two shirtless gentlemen, Flo Rida rolled down in a sleek silver Lamborghini and Marianas Trench — the evening's leading nominees with seven nods — hit the carpet inside a mobile bouncy castle surrounded by toy soldiers.
After emerging, they hopped about with inflatable horses strapped to their pants. They were then immediately presented with awards for pop video of the year and cinematography of the year.
Other performers were expected include “American Idol” winner Kelly Clarkson, British sensation Ed Sheeran and hip-swivelling Victoria songstress Nelly Furtado.

“Thank you very much,” Fernandes said, claiming his award. “I'm going to party.”
