Without further delay, The 2008 American Music Awards was presented last night on ABC with a couple of "firsts" for the nominated artists. The rather-long music event was hosted by comedian Jimmy Kimmel.



Rihanna's "Rehab" performance was done in thigh-high Alexander McQueen boots which was a departure from the ruffle Zac Posen dress she arrived in. Justin Timberlake unforunately did not join Rihanna mid-way through. The Gucci Tattoo Hearts brand face picked up two American Music Awards (her first ever AMA's) for Soul/R&B Female Artist and Best Female Pop/Rock.



Kanye West (in his own clothing design Pastelle) gave a great live performance of his current single, "Heartless." Kanye's last album "Graduation" won one AMA for Favorite Rap/Hip Hop Album and he also picked up Favorite Rap/Hip Hop Male Artist. During his acceptance speech, Kanye declared that he wants to be like Elvis. 'It's our responsibility as musicians to keep pushing each other. We will be the new Beatles, the new [Jimi] Hendrix. I want to be Elvis.''



Beyonce's "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" dance performance brought the crowd to its feet. Even Queen Latifah got up and did a little bit of "Uh Oh." Gotta love that Armani Privé satin black and white jacket Beyonce had on.


The Pussycat Dolls hit the stage to perform "When I Grow Up" and "Hate This Part." I liked that Melody Thornton had supporting vocals on the first performance set. Project Runway winner Christian Siriano dressed the Dolls for their red carpet appearance.



The Alicia Keys "Superwoman" remix with Queen Latifah was the event's last performance and one of the best. At first Latifah's mic wasn't working but when did it, I was blow away. Latifah's rapping again?! Then out nowhere classical vocalist Kathleen Battle joined the performance set. Hands down, hot! Alicia's third solo studio effort, "As I Am" won favorite pop/rock album.



Nick Cannon was such a gentleman as he helped his wife Mariah Carey down a flight of stairs before her "I Stay In Love" performance. Mariah (in Dolce & Gabbana) picked up top honors (honorary award for Favorite Female Artist) at the award ceremony for her record-breaking music career.



Christina Aguilera opened the show with a medley of her hits which included "Genie In A Bottle", "Dirrty", "Ain't No Other Man", "Fighter", "Keeps Gettin' Better" and "Beautiful".



Leona Lewis (in Jenny Packham) and Pink (in Vivienne Westwood) both hit the stage to perform their hit singles. Pink performed twice and she did a duet with Sarah McLachlan. Leona performed her current single "Better in Time."



Natasha Bedingfield and Ne-Yo both performed a medley of their hits. Tocarra was on the scene in a '50s-inspired polka-dot dress. Jordin Sparks (in Dolce & Gabbana) presented with Enrique Igelesias. Justin Timberlake paid tribute to Annie Lennox.

Those black Stella McCartney wedge ankle boots stood out front row thanks to fashionista Zoe Kravitz. The offspring of Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Benet was seen soaking up the Spring 2009 collection at the Stella McCartney show during Paris Fashion Week. Zoe was also spotted at the Chanel fashion show rocking her chic boho look in another fly pair of Chanel boots.



Mary Kate Olsen wore the wedge pumps style for her cover appearance on Elle UK magazine - the July 2008 edition. Notice how the sole of MK and Zoe's are quite similar? (Fashionistas think alike, huh?)

If these new tidbits doesn't satisfy your Keri Hilson music craze, Stuff Fly People Like has a brand-new single she did with D.O.E called, "Coming Soon."



And yes for those wondering, Rihanna and the Pussycat Dolls also recorded the same song with Kardinal. So who sang it better? (Rihanna by the way made the final cut on Kardinal's "Not 4 Sale" album.)

Jennifer Lopez bummed into her "Wedding Planner" co-star Matthew McConaughey at the Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2009 fashion show during Milan Fashion Week. Also, it comes as no surprise that Jennifer attended the show as she was seen in D&G designs lately. You gotta love Jennifer's D&G limited-edition black croc "Miss Catch" satchel.

Turning 24 is a just another reason to celebrate as proven by Melody Thornton at Les Deux. Eddie Murphy and Brandon Davis of all people showed up at Melody's birthday party. Where was Bow Wow or even her PCD band members?!?

Tomorrow the pair will appear on "Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and on Wednesday they'll set to appear on "Ellen." (Thanks John!)



The Pussycat Dolls offered a brief glimpse via PopEater of their music video, "Whatcha Think About That" featuring Missy Elliott. (Didn't Danity Kane feature Missy on their second single but that's just my opinion. Regardless of that small tidbit, I personally enjoy PCD's first disc especially their duet with Avant.) "Doll Domination" the second disc from PCD will be release on September 23rd. (Thanks Jamie!)
