Glancing With the Stars

The American Music Awards were apparently not a whole lot of fun to watch on television this year (if I’m to trust my friends’ twitter sentiments) but it was a lot of fun to be there! I agree that some of the performances were so-so, but then we got hit with Ne-Yo – who I don’t even really like, but you can’t deny that his performance was really great – and then effing Beyonce who blew the entire building apart without an inkling of a set. She was so good we were all standing as soon as she hit the stage and the beat started. We sat through the Fray and the Jonas Brothers and all these elaborate sets with pyrotechnics to mask sort of mediocre performing, and then Beyonce came out and basically said “eat me” and shut that shit down. Pink and Christina and Natasha Bedingfield sounded great, too.

Christian did some red carpet commentary for the official pre-show on ABC with Carrie Ann Inaba and Nicole Scherzinger from the Pussycat Dolls, so we were basically all just hanging out while everyone walked the red carpet. He dressed Nicole and the rest of the dolls, too, in his spring collection. Nicole was in a special new dress that I think looked so good on her. She was so sweet, I really liked her. Christina Aguilera, Chris Brown, and Sarah Silverman were particularly nice. Rihanna… well, she was there too. The fans behind the ropes were deafening when the Jo Bros, Miley, and Taylor Swift came through at different times. Paris couldn’t stop texting through the entire show, and I watched Tommy Lee ask for a picture with Demi Lovato. New Kids did “The Right Stuff” dance and then sang “Please Don’t Go Girl” and I threw up poop and turned inside out.

It’s almost Thanksgiving, so there’s more travel in the near future. Hooray! But then we come back and spend the weekend here in New York taking lots of new photos for the book, and his sister Shannon is coming! I need a very long nap and then a good Christmas movie. Any suggestions?

I am sure what a good xmas movie is. I loved Christian on the pre-show. I think that he was my favorite part cos I don’t really watch pre-shows. I think that Kayne, Beyonce and Alicia Keys (toward the end with Queen Latifah and that Opera singer… mind is blank) were good.

It looks like such fun! Hope that you aren’t too busy for the holidays so you can enjoy them. xo

THE REF with Denis Leary and Kevin Spacey and Judy Davis is truly hilarious. That was the year I started saying Happy Birthday Baby Jesus!
