Justin Bieber won three prizes at last night's American Music Awards.
The 18-year-old singer - who was accompanied to the bash by his mother Pattie Mallette - was the big winner at the ceremony, taking home pop/rock male artist, pop/rock album for Believe and the evening's final accolade, the coveted artist of the year award.
Accepting pop/rock male artist, he said, "I want to say this is for all the haters who thought I was just here for one or two years. I feel like I'm going to be here for a very long time."
For his third win, Justin brought his mother on stage with him and told her, "I wanted to thank you for always believing in me... This is my mom. She's little, but she's beautiful."

Jennifer Lopez’s Bruised Bum

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gossip, Performances, Pop,

Jennifer Lopez’s fall at last month’s American Music Awards left her with an injured derriere.
“I have a bruised bone. What happened was one of the dancers’ backs was slippery from sweat and lights and everything. We never bargained for that because they always had T-shirts on in rehearsal,” Lopez explained. “So they were bare-backed, didn’t have shirts on for the performance, and when I stepped on their backs my feet got wet. So when I landed, it just slipped from under me.”

First Look: Adam Lambert’s For Your Entertainment Video

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Gossip, Music Videos, Pop,
Given Adam Lambert’s performance during Sunday’s American Music Awards, I must say I was a bit surprised by this new clip.
Although he had over three minutes to “interpret the lyrics” of his own song in his own video, this video for “For Your Entertainment” was surprisingly tame. Oh sure - you could
quicklyglimpse a few provocative moments here and there, but it they weren’t as obvious as this weekend’s simulated oral sex moment.
So now I’m left confused. Why would Lambert hold back here? Was Adam simply doing on live TV what he wasn’t allowed to do in the video?
