American Music Awards
November 23rd 2006 03:08
The 2006 American Music Awards, held in LA yesterday were possibly most notable for the number of stars who didn't appear at the Ceremony.
The Black Eyed Peas, who accepted their awards via satellite link from Costa Rica took home the awards for: Favourite Group Rap/Hip and Favourite Group Soul/Rhythm & Blues categories as well as taking out Favourite Album Rap/Hip Hop for their Monkey Business Album.
Red Hot Chilli Peppers, also accepted their award via satellite, won for Favourite Alternative Artist and Favourite Pop/Rock categories.
Kelly Clarkson, who wasn't in attendance either took out Favourite Pop/Rock Female Artist and Best Adult Contemporary Artist.
Despite a number of artists failing to attend, the Awards still managed to draw out celebrities. Gwen Stefani performed her new single "Wind Up". Beyonce was there, along with Paris Hilton, Nicole Ritchie and surprise presenter Paris Hilton.
The highlight of the evening was perhaps when American Idol Clay Aitken presented with a very pregnant Tory Spelling and they re-enacted the now famous 'Regis & Kelly' hand clapping incident (earlier in the week, Clay was a guest presenter on Regis & Kelly. To shut Kelly up at one stage Clay clapped his hand over Kelly's mouth, prompting Kelly to say "I don't know where that hand has been".....a supposed slur against the 'yet to come out as being gay' Aitken).
The disappointment of the evening would have been Faith Hill winning Best Country Female Artist with many hoping for a re-enactment of her tantrum when she lost out to Carrie Underwood for Female Vocalist of the Year at the Country Music Awards earlier this year.

Any chance of some video clips via youTube for we who are not so knowledgeable but who do at least know some of the names so we can put the music and winners with the names.

Good suggestion. I've just done a new post with a good send up of my least favourite person in the world (Kevin Federline).
I might get some others together and do another post.

Yeah, I had to look at the pics several times before I believed that it was her. She was unrecognisable!
She's always a bit different is Gwen.
