This year’s American Music Awards winners were picked by fans voting online at ABC.com, which as expected landed most of the major awards in the hands of the teen-idols-of-the-moment. Entourage is being DVR’ed and I have nothing better to do, so here are some interesting observations and highlights from this year’s AMA, or “Junior Prom” as it should be called…

Christina Aguilera (WireImage)

Is it me or Christina Aguilera sounds more and more like a man? And when was the last time she came out with a new song anyway?

Rihanna (WireImage)

Rihanna is a big winner tonight winning over veterans such as Mary J Blige Alicia Keys and Mariah Carey.

Chris Brown (WireImage)

Chris Brown is another big winner tonight winning favorite male artist for Soul/R&B AND Pop/Rock as well as Artist of the Year.

New Kids On The Block (WireImage)

New Kids On The Block relive their Junior High fantasy and perform as if they were 20 awww bless their hearts…

Miley Cyrus (WireImage)

Miley Cyrus celebrates her 16th birthday at the 2008 American Music Awards. She also delivers one of the better performances at the show, rocking out harder and more real than any of the other teen pop stars.

Taylor Swift (WireImage)

Taylor Swift gives a haunting performance at the American Music Awards. Her song no doubt inspired by her break up with Joe Jonas of the Jonas Brothers (I wonder how he feels sitting in the front row when his ex-girlfriend sing to the world about what a jerk he was, hmm…) Later Taylor went on winning the favorite female Country artist over Carrie Underwood and Reba McEntire.

Jonas Brothers (WireImage)

Jonas Brothers on the other hand gave an awful performance at the show, Joe Jonas was off key, the trio looked like pre-schoolers rocking on guitar-hero gaming system. Although the fans did vote them the winner of the T-Mobile Breakthrough Artist award.

NeYo (WireImage)

NeYo performs at the 2008 American Music Awards, and shows off the coolest move out of all performers all night – he kicks over the mic stand, just as it almost hits the floor he steps on the base and spins the stand 360 degrees under his feet and pops it back up – HOT!

Alicia Keys (WireImage)

Alicia Keys hands downs had the best fashion sense at the show. She had the most stunning India-inspired blue dress and diamond head piece. She also won Favorite Pop/Rock album and Favorite Soul/R&B album.

Kanye West (WireImage)

Kanye West on the other hand, had the worst fashion sense. I mean hello? Didn’t anyone tell him that this is a Black Tie Formal affair?? That track jacket might be ok if he’s shooting a cartoon version of Star Trek, but to an awards ceremony? Host Jimmy Kimmel mocked Kanye’s “modesty” at the show. Kanye West did win a couple awards but strangely declared on stage that he wants to give it away to Lil Wayne… I wonder if Lil Wayne is amused or just embarrassed.

Mariah Carey (WireImage)

Mariah Carey had a big night, winning awards for breaking Elvis’ record of most #1 singles on the charts ever! And also breaking the record of # of weeks as #1 on the charts for a female artist. Although she did demand private jets and presidential accommodations just to fly in to accept the awards, but she’s a Diva, what can I say?! Go Mariah!

The American Music Awards is broadcasting live right now and guess what I find? The official ABC website for the show is listing the wrong winner for Favorite Female artist in Soul/R&B! Rihanna just won live on TV and the website is listing Mary J. Blige as the winner! Conspiracy or incompetent web producer?? hmmm…

Here’s the link… but just in case they get around to fix it, here’s the screenshot…

Me and Andrew McMahon of Jack

So I’ve always been a fan of the band Something Corporate. A few years ago the lead singer Andrew McMahon was diagnosed with cancer and the band broke up.

Amazingly Andrew beat cancer and is staging an amzing come back! His new band Jack’s Mannequin is the new hotness. So when I was offered tickets to the last show on their tour at the Blender Theater in New York and invite to the afterparty at the exclusive Members-Only Norwood House, I was more than happy to oblige.

The show rocked! It far exceeded my expectations. How often do you see a piano-player/singer jump on top of the piano, tossing paper airplanes into the audience while singing and playing the piano with his feet in sneakers?!! Not making this up!

At the afterparty I caught up with Andrew and chatted for a while. He is one of the nicest and most humble rockstars off stage. I couldn’t believe it. For the rest of the night everytime he walks by me and my friends he stops and thanks us for coming out to support. What a nice guy!

Kanye vs Justin (Kevin Mazur/WireImage; Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic)

So we all know that Kanye West is full of himself. But he just took it to a whole new level.

In a recent interview with the associated press, he said,

“I realize that my place and position in history is that I will go down as the voice of this generation…”

That’s not all, he went on to slam Justin Timberlake, saying,

“There were people who had the potential to do it but they went on vacation, so when Justin went on vacation I made albums…”

Ouch!

In a very tragic story, a dead woman has found just outside American Idol judge Paula Abdul‘s house. The woman has been identified as Paula Goodspeed, who appeared in the audition segment of Season 5 of American Idol, and described herself as an artist and the first pic she ever drew was of Paula Abdul… kinda creepy.

Apparently the woman has stalked Paula Abdul numerous times, and her body was found inside a car just outside Paula’s L.A. home. Police believe it might be caused by a drug overdose.

Left to Right: Kim Kardashian, Adrienne Bailon, Robert Kardashian

In one of the most bizzare and pathetic turn of events, it turns out that the nude pics of Cheetah Girl Adrienne Bailon that was leaked onto the internet of two days ago was part of a PR stunt!!

So apparently this is the brilliant idea of Hollywood publicist retard Jonathan Jaxson, who thought this would help develop a more sexy/mature image for her. Adrienne’s future sister-in-law Kim Kardashian supposedly not only encouraged the little Disney poptart, but also went as far as picking out the bra in the photos and teaching her how to pose! Shocking, I know! Coming from the girl famous for her sex tape with Brandy’s brother R&B singer Ray J.

If I was Disney, I’d probably bitch slap both Adrienne and Jonathan. Bad career move Adrienne. Stop listening to these retard Hollywood agents/publicists, all they know (and I quote Ari Gold from Entourage) is how to “get their agency card laminated so they can fuck Mischa Barton at Shelter“.

What do you do when you break up with Country Music’s hottest new starlet? Well if you are Nick Jonas of the Disney band Jonas Brothers, you apparently trade down…

Camilla Belle is the lucky girl who’s getting Taylor Swift‘s sloppy seconds. I always said Frank “Bonus” Jonas was the smartest brother in the family…

I never believed Lindsay Lohan was a lesbian. I mean if you’ve seen what I’ve seen her do at the basement of the club Suede back in 2001, you wouldn’t either :-p Now it’s official! Page Six just leaked an interview from the next issue of Harpers Bazaar:

When asked if she considered herself a bisexual, Lohan answered, “Maybe. Yeah.” But she was adamant that she wasn’t a lesbian, giving an emphatic, “No,” when asked.

There you have it… Remember this picture I took a year ago of Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson? And remember how Perez Hilton tried to steal it? I guess LiLo is just playing for both teams!

Disney should do what the NFL does, fine their players whenever they do something stupid. All their little pop stars seem to all have problems with naked pictures. First Vanessa Hudgens, then Miley Cyrus, now one of the Cheetah Girls Adrienne Bailon (Does anyone remember her from the early 2000′s group 3LW? lol I totally hung out with them at their rehearsal studio yeeeaars ago). So poor Adrienne lost her laptop at JFK airport, then paid some man $1000 to return it, only to find out the scumbag has sold her almost-nude pictures to several publications…

Apparently Britney Spears is now the “Queen of Pop”…
