MANILA, Philippines — American Music Awards is not just a glamorous event honoring talents in music but also an event for stars to showcase their talents for the world to witness.
And every year, it is tailed by controversy; whether it’s girl-on-girl kiss or wardrobe malfunction, it is bound for the headlines. This year, the Awards did not disappoint. Here is a recap by “E! News,” which surely got people talking:
1. Bieber and Hasslehoff Unite... and the Hoff Doffs His Pants! The most shocking moment of the night came at the very end during LMFAO’s show-ending performance. The band was performing its “Party Rock Anthem,” and the crowd was really digging it, but things kicked up a few notches when a special guest joined the group on stage: Justin Bieber! Wearing yellow zebra pants and a black shirt with the word “sexy” emblazoned on it, Bieber danced in the middle of a group of dancers. Actually, we think the proper term is shuffled – he shuffled in the middle of a group of dancers.
After Bieber left the stage, LMFAO performed its other hit single, “Sexy And I Know It,” which also featured a celebrity cameo: David Hasslehoff. Yes, the Hoff came on stage at the end of the song and ripped off his pants. Luckily, he was wearing a pair of boxers with smiley faces on them underneath. Phew!
2. The Fiat Awards? We get that Favorite Latin Artist winner Jennifer Lopez is currently the face of the car company Fiat, but the product placement during her performance was kind of insane. First, she drove up to the stage in a Fiat 500. Then, the car became a prop for the dancers throughout the performance. It was a bit awkward and felt so forced.
Her risqué performance was the talk of the evening particularly because she took to the stage with her new man dancer Casper Smart.
But while Jennifer Lopez might have raised plenty of eyebrows with her provocative dance moves at the American Music Awards, her outfit of choice also got plenty of attention. The 42-year-old showed off her incredible figure in a see-through glittering bodysuit which appeared to have taken inspiration from an identical outfit worn by Britney Spears in her “Toxic” video.
3. Hollywood’s Cutest BFFs Revealed! OK, so seeing Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez attached at the hip throughout the ceremony wasn’t jaw-dropping, we know this, but you have to admit it was so freakin’ adorable! What was jaw-dropping, to us anyway, were the BFFs reactions to Minaj’s performance of “Super Bass,” where they both showed off their knowledge of the lyrics.
Later, the girls got down during Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera’s performance of “Moves Like Jagger.” If that wasn’t cute enough, after winning the award for Artist of the Year, Swift thanked Selena and called her “the little sister” she never had.
4. Bieber Defeated! Yes, Bieber landed two spots on our jaw-dropping moments list, but come on, weren’t you a little surprised when he lost Favorite Pop/Rock Male Artist to Bruno Mars? In fact, we were surprised that it was Bieber’s only nomination considering he won Artist of the Year at the 2010 American Music Awards. Could Bieber Fever be cooling down?
Regardless, Justin has been fighting a claim that he had fathered a child. Since Justin took a DNA test in New Jersey last Friday, he’s been waiting to compare his blood to that of his alleged son’s. But sadly (and predictably) Mariah Yeater (mother of the child who claims Justin is the father) and her lawyers won’t release her baby’s DNA results.
Sources connected with Justin believe Yeater will never produce DNA results, because it will simply become ammunition for a lawsuit he intends to file against her!
5. These Shoes Weren’t Made for Walking! Sometimes, women must suffer in the name of fashion. Nicki Minaj was the human embodiment of this sentiment during the night, as she had a bit of trouble walking to the stage after winning Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Artist. Rocking an Oscar de la Renta and sky-high (literally, they might have been a foot tall) heels, Minaj almost introduced her face to the stage several times before a kind man offered his assistance to help Minaj finish her journey towards the microphone.
