the american music awards aired live from los angeles tonight. beginning with a preshow, hosted by easily distracted carrie ann inaba, that guy from the bachelor, and nicole scherzinger of the pussycat dolls, the awards was more like a giant concert. the winners of the night are barely memorable, with alicia keys nominated in almost every category and chris brown taking home three awards. the show had some of the biggest names in music performing, including the jobros, beyonce, taylor swift, miley cyrus (celebrating her sweet 16 today - closing the age gap between her and uber creep non-boytoy justin gaston), and natasha bedingfield. the tension backstage had to be high, with jobro exes swift and cyrus being within 100 feet of the brother act at all times. the biggest disappointment of the night was probably annie lennox's performance. receiving a lifetime achievement award from justin timberlake, the former eurythmics front woman sang a depressing, one note song rather than a big hit like "broken glass" or "sweet dreams." if you're receiving a lifetime achievement award, play something the audience recognizes and that is a little more upbeat, okay? coldplay's performance should probably have closed the show, with a rain of paper butterflies coming from the ceiling in a constant stream that made a trashtastic mess; a custodial crew kept peeking their heads out from behind the set to see if they could clean up...instead alicia keys closed the show in a black-girl-power number, alongside queen latifah and some rando opera singer. the awards show seemed to focus on keys, even though her latest hasn't even made that much of an impact. oh well, the ama's signals the beginning of the big awards shows, meaning more performances and crazy antics to come.
teen witch: the musical
it looks like ashley tisdale, aka the tiz, is working on her own starring vehicle in an update of 80s camp classic teen witch. breaking free (you see the pun there?) of her disney image, ashley will take the role of a teen witch (if that wasn't obvi by the title) in a musical adaptation of the coming of age story. this news coincides with zac efron's newly announced kenny ortega footloose production. the tiz is also at work on a disney channel pilot based on her lift in retail before hitting it big in the hollyhood. monique coleman is the only hsm alum to not commit to a new project. click here to take a listen to a song from the original version of the film.
abc does the grey's shuffle
in hopes to reboot their failing fall season, the alphabet net is retooling their lineup. with the cancelation of pushing daisies and dirty sexy money, abc is moving the former wednesday staple private practice after its founding show grey's anatomy. to reinvigorate interest in the franchise, the two shows will have yet another cross over later in the season. this will move new semi-hit life on mars over to wednesdays to finish out the season with the rest of the current lineup. the end of dancing with the stars's current season also means the introduction of yet another pointless season of the bachelor. when will abc learn that none of the relationships are working? the current bachelor is a former contestant from last season's deanna edition of the bachelorette; deanna recently announced her split from her choice for true love.
that's all for now.
peace, love, and blogs.
