American Music Awards - The Official After Party

Exciting stuff- I have just returned from two weeks of traveling and I have documented it all with my new Flip camera (thank you big brother Michael)! So yes, that means I will begin to post vlogs (video logs for you new media dinosaurs) of my many adventures! Also upon returning home, I realized my AMA after party interviews are online which you can view here:

As you can tell, I had a blast and can't wait to see what 2010 will bring for the awards!

Tiger Woods - D Bag of the Week!

Selecting Tiger Woods as this week's D Bag was obviously a total no brainer! When CNN devotes a thirty minute segment to various Tigresses (get it Tiger's Mistresses) that claim to have had sexual relations with the golf superstar without a condom, you know it's pretty bad. And it only adds salt to the wound that all the women are strippers, cocktail waitresses and even porn stars out of Vegas.

No wonder Elin Nordegren bought a new home on a small island outside of Stockholm that is only reachable by boat - I'd want to get the hell away from this sex maniac too! Now I'm just waiting for one of the Guidettes from MTV's Jersey Shore to come out and say she also had an affair with Tiger - that would be amazing!

American Music Awards - The Rehearsals

I cannot express how amazing being a part of the American Music Awards on Nov. 22nd was - what a carpet, what a show! Between sitting and watching rehearsals, the preparty, the live red carpet show, the actual awards show and then the after party, I am on cloud nine with so much to talk about. However, seeing as this is a blog, I will keep it as short and sweet as possible touching on the highlights from my all access experience.

Part One: The Rehearsals

I would like to start by acknowledging the tremendous positive energy from everyone involved - there was magic in the air! From the production staff and volunteers to the actual music artists themselves, you could tell people were truly happy to be there. As a performer myself, I loved watching the rehearsal process and then seeing the live show. I have to give this to Jennifer Lopez- she is such a professional! After her fall, she got right up and continued with her dance solo. She nailed that jump over and over in rehearsal, but we all know things do not always go as planned.

It was also such a delight to watch Mary J. Blige, Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson and Alicia Keys rehearse - these are terribly gifted women who always carry themselves with such grace. I attempted to watch Lady Gaga as well, be sticking to her true theatrical nature, she showed up on stage in bra and panties and then gave everyone the boot. C'est la vie - I still love her! She was not the only one to close her rehearsal, Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, Eminem (which I snuck into) and Rihanna did so as well, which I totally respect.

One of the main things I took away from the AMA rehearsals ...... my new celebrity crush on Keith Urban. He is to die for! I've always liked his music, but I never quite understood what Nicole Kidman was seeing until I saw him on stage with his guitar. Nicole - you go girl! He is so talented and so dreamy. Oh, and the accent doesn't hurt either.
