Held at Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, the American Music Awards brought-out the biggest names in Music! And when we say big, we mean huge! The likes of Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, One Direction, Rihanna, Lady Antebellum, Justin Timberlake, Jennifer Lopez, Taylor Swift, Jennifer Hudson, Ke$ha, Imagine Dragons and several, several more. Pitbull had the distinction of hosting the Awards this year. Created in 1973 by Dick Clark, the Awards give Music Lovers and the general Public a chance the decide who wins.
Taylor Swift was the night’s big Winner, winning her 14th AMA tonight including the coveted Artist of the Year Award, her third time winning the Title. Earlier in the evening, she won Favourite Album, Country and Favourite Female Artist, Country.
Lady Gaga ft. R. Kelly wowed audiences with a Marilyn Monroe and JFK-inspired rendition of Do What U Want, while Miley Cyrus had the Audience oddly-mesmerized with her Wrecking Ball Performance with a Space Kitten and Lasers projected behind her. On the verge of a Comeback, TLC had Lil Mama join them onstage for a delivery of their Hit Waterfalls. Is this perhaps a sign of things to come? She certainly fits the voided “L” in TLC.
Much of the Talent looked highly presentable, opting for flattering cuts and proper coverage. The Winners on the Carpet included Miley Cyrus who wore a sophisticated white Versus Versace Pantsuit, Katy Perry who looked cute in an Oscar de la Renta Dress with polka dots and roses – veering more and more towards the demure of late, while Swift looked super-cute in a sparkly and leggy gold Julien MacDonald Mini-Dress. A golden-tanned Nicole Richie was stunning in a hip-revealing, white Emilio Pucci Dress, while Lady Gaga was the clear winner in a violet Versace number, arriving on a white costume horse, navigated by scantily clad men.
At the young age of 25, Rihanna had the distinction of winning the first-ever AMA Icon Award, presented to her by her Mother, Monica. The Mother told her celebrated Daughter, “Tonight I applaud and admire you for being so strong, so positive, so humble and so focussed. I mean it’s amazing how you manage to take good from all your experiences.”.

Miley Cyrus covers the October 10th issue of Rolling Stone and would you believe she got her feet tattooed with the name of the Magazine? One foot now reads, “ROLLING”. The other, “$TONE”.
Writer Josh Eells follows a day in the life of the controversial Pop Star who is a self-proclaimed “Rapunzel” in that she rarely ever leaves home. The Interview touches upon the controversy following her much-talked-about VMAs performance and the support encouragement which Producers/Moguls Pharrell and Kanye West have given her.
Cyrus says, “I wasn’t trying to be sexy. If I was trying to be sexy, I could have been sexy. I can dance a lot better than I was dancing.”. “People are like, ‘Miley thinks she’s a black girl, but she’s got the flattest ass ever. I’m like, I’m 108 pounds! I know! Now people expect me to come out and twerk with my tongue out all the time. I’ll probably never do that shit again.”.
Eells also joins her out as she parties at a Club with her Friends, sipping Malibu and also as they go on a Sushi Run. At one point they even go Skydiving together!
Cyrus has an interesting relationship with the Paparazzi who wait outside her Home daily, making deals with them to stop and pose on the condition they leave her alone and not be in pursuit of her the entire day. “I’ll usually give them a picture and they’re pretty cool. I actually don’t really get the point of Paparazzi anymore. It’s not like back in the day where they sold pictures to Magazines. Now they just put them online. I don’t really know how they make money.”.

Yet once again she steals the whole darn show! Miley Cyrus performed in Las Vegas yesterday at the iHeartRadio Festival and all eyes were on the 20-year-old Megastar as she shocked in a revealing white dress with a Fishnet Top and Pasties, leaving little to the imagination. Earlier in the day she performed the same Track in a revealing Corset-Bra and Short-Shorts during an outdoor performance.
She performed her latest Single, Wrecking Ball overcome with emotion late in the Song bringing herself to tears, with mascara running down her face in the wake of the recent announcement she no longer is engaged to Actor Liam Hemsworth.
Watch the Performance below:
Say what you must about Miley Cyrus, but her and her people sure know how to generate a frenzy. These brand new Promotional Photos for her new Disc, Bangerz have just surfaced and she really is owning it.
Although I agree the crotch-touching and tongue-showing are getting a bit much, we cannot deny that we cannot stop looking. I know I can’t! Thank you Miley in an age of Political Correctness and hyper-awareness for making Pop Music edgy, controversial and exciting again. Inasmuch as many would like to discount her as being all gloss and little substance, the two Tracks we’ve been presented from the Disc both have been phenomenal, so certainly she has the goods to back it all up. I haven’t been this excited about a Pop Disc in quite some time, really.

The moment we’ve all been waiting for. The unveiling of the Artwork for Miley Cyrus‘ new Disc, BANGERZ! I love the ’80s-inspired Miami Deco look. It reminds me a bit of Whitney Houston‘s debut Disc mashed-up with Cocktail and Miami Vice together with all the neon. I have never been more excited for an Album and I’ve never been more excited about Miley! Whomever is handling her Art Direction and Styling basically needs a GRAMMY Award.
Cyrus performs live at tomorrow night’s MTV Video Music Awards in New York! Word is, she might be collaborating with Robin Thicke on a not-so-Hannah Montana something…
See the Cover below:
… and just surfacing also is Cyrus‘ new Track, Wrecking Ball. It’s not quite a Banger, but it’s and outstanding Power Ballad. LOVE.
