A chance to go to the VMAs AND meet Rihanna?! We're basically dead thinking about it!

Working in MTV's offices, our friends are constantly asking us, "Can you get me into the VMAs??" Yeeeeah, sadly, VMA tickets don't grow on trees. We ALL want to meet Rihanna, Demi Lovato, Green Day, Pink and One Direction! BUT thanks to a recent contest launched by Viddy and MTV, one lucky dude has won an opportunity to fly to L.A. to attend the VMAs AND MEET Queen Rih (who by the way, is TOTALLY OPENING THE SHOW) at the VMA Pre-Show, which kicks off at 7 p.m. ET. Um, excuse us... we're only dying of jealousy over here.

In his winning video, the winner @DruChaos -- PICKED BY RIHANNA HERSELF -- told Rihanna: "I feel like you already know how much I love you, and I feel like fate has already intertwined our paths so much that going to the VMAs with you would be a memorable night, and my dream come true." We concur, @DruChaos. You make us believe in fate.

+ Watch the winning entry from the Viddy contest winner, whose whole life is about to change when he meets Rihanna at the VMAs.

Don't miss the 2012 MTV VMAs live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Thursday, Sept. 6, at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
