Adam Lambert, Nicole Kidman Are Best Dressed On American Music Awards Red Carpet

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 15:14:00 +0000

Rihanna, Shakira, Fergie also make bold statements on Sunday night. By Jocelyn Vena Adam Lambert on the American Music Awards red carpet on Sunday Photo: Jason Merritt/Getty Images Any good music awards show should give its musicians the chance to show off their very individual style. And when the stars showed up at the American Music Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday night (November 22), there were a few standouts who chose to express themselves on the red carpet as much as they do in song. AMAs Red Carpet Photos Adam Lambert loves to go glam every once and a while (or always). And the singer's sleek, chic Elvis throwback look, complete with the King's hairstyle and a sharp suit, showed Lambert's cool sense of self. Nicole Kidman, there with husband Keith Urban, represented for the non-musicians and looked absolutely stunning in her pink-and-taupe tiered Balenciaga gown.

Rihanna, Fergie, More Sparkle On AMAs Red Carpet

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 14:34:05 +0000

Alicia Keys and Keri Hilson also embraced the night's sequin trend. By Jocelyn Vena Rihanna Photo: Jason Merritt/Getty Images While there were a variety of looks on the American Music Awards red carpet, there was a bit of an overriding theme: black and sparkles, be it sequins or jewels. Selena Gomez wore a little sparkly dress cinched with a belt, while Keri Hilson funked up her short, long-sleeved black dress with lots of sequins. Kelly Clarkson also went with classic black, in a dress with shimmering silver-sequin detailing. Alicia Keys broke all the color rules in her corseted tie-dye dress with sequins. AMAs Red Carpet Photos Demi Lovato looked hip in a blush-colored dress with a jeweled halter neck, and Carrie Underwood went for the blush tone as well in a Grecian-style gown. Leona Lewis went edgy in a leather minidress with a geometric neckline. "American Idol" winner Kris Allen looked dapper in ...

Shakira Steps Up Her Act At American Music Awards

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 14:25:00 +0000

The singer and her sexy step dancers performed 'Give It Up to Me' on Sunday night. By Jocelyn Vena Shakira performs at the AMAs on Sunday Photo: ABC In a little black mirrored dress and big hair, Shakira stomped the yard to her newest single, "Give It Up to Me," at the American Music Awards on Sunday (November 22) in Los Angeles. The dancers, who flanked her onstage and took over the aisles of the auditorium, got their step-dance on as Shakira sang the sexy, electronic track. The performance perhaps didn't get quite as strange as the song's music video, but it did have occasional nods to the clip for "Give It Up to Me," mostly the references to her transition into the Hindu god Shiva. Shakira didn't rest on her hot-girl laurels either. She got into the action, shaking her truth-telling hips, which in her knee high boots is much more a feat than one might imagine. Be forewarned: Only real pop stars can dance in skintight dresses and heels and not break a ...

America Ferrera is a Bahama Mama When 'Ugly Betty' Goes to the Islands

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 08:01:00 +0000

In the steamy Bahamas, the love triangle between Betty ( America Ferrera ), Matt ( Daniel Eric Gold ) and Amanda ( Becki Newton ) explodes, and romantic pairings abound. Things should be dreamy at the Atlantis resort, where even Shakira (portraying herself) is staying, but Betty has a nightmarish photo shoot after Willie ( Vanessa Williams ) learns her nemesis, Penelope Graybridge ( Christie Brinkley ), snagged a coveted job, and, even more importantly, discovers Connor ( Grant Bowler ) is very much alive. And Becki's real-life brother Matt plays Troy, a hot island guy who becomes the object of Marc's ( Michael Urie ) affections. "The Bahamas Triangle" episode airs Dec. 4 at 9 p.m. on ABC.

Shakira's She Wolf: Global Pop For The Wolf Inside Us All

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 11:52:00 +0000

For all the craziness surrounding it, Shakira's latest is a straightforward, oddly personal record, in Bigger Than the Sound. By James Montgomery Shakira Photo: Ben Hider/ Getty Images Conventional wisdom states that you shouldn't review a record after it's already been in stores for more than a month (overseas, anyway), but when the record in question has been described as "endearingly bonkers" and "fantastically strange" and leads with an Italian-disco-indebted first single that features the word "lycanthropy," well, sometimes you have to ignore conventional wisdom and just go for it. So, yes, this is my take on Shakira's She Wolf (which hits stores here in the U.S. next week with a surplus of bonus tracks), a slinky, sexy, spirited pop/disco bonbon that's all hips and lips and handclaps, with the occasional cowbell or clarinet (or mouth trumpet/ electro urchin/ Matt Damon shout-out) sprinkled in for good measure. It's every bit as good as the reviews advertised, ...

Shakira's 'Give It Up To Me' Video: Put A Ring On It!

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 10:46:00 +0000

Video shows some Beyonce influence, but Shakira, as always, puts her unique spin on things. By James Montgomery Shakira in "Give It Up To Me" Photo: Sony The hips don't lie! Shakira's gone "Single Ladies" in her brand-new "Give It Up to Me" video (from her recent She Wolf LP), which finds everyone's favorite practitioner of midsection manipulation showing more than a few Beyoncéisms. While the video doesn't mimic Beyoncés work, the influence is evident: From the dangly earrings and high-cut leotard to an aerodynamic 'do (which has since been replaced by a mane of dreadlocks) and a spate of dance moves that would make even the stoutest of chiropractors cringe, "Give It Up To Me" takes those elements, throws them into a blender, spins them around the globe and sees them brought home by Lil Wayne . In fact, "Give It Up to Me" manages to carve out its own little niche, thanks mainly to Shakira's seemingly boundless spirit (which is a nice way of ...

Shakira Says It's 'Hard To Explain' She Wolf Lyrics

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 11:50:00 +0000

'This album has been written from a very feminine perspective,' singer says. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Jim Cantiello Shakira Photo: MTV News Shakira wasn't afraid to get a little wacky when it came to the lyrics on She Wolf. But the international songstress admits that kookier lyrics are sometimes born out of necessity in order to make the song work. For instance, on the track "Long Time," when she sings, "I'm so happy I should get sued," she insists that the lyric made sense because of the song's rhyming scheme. "Maybe it rhymed," she told MTV News. "It's hard to explain your own lyrics, you know." On "Mon Amour," she vows, "Hope the French fleas eat you both alive," but said there's no harm meant in the song. "I was just fantasizing about fleas in France eating them both alive," she simply stated. "This album has been written from a very feminine perspective. I think maybe because I feel more like a woman today ... I guess this album contains a ...

Shakira Says Neptunes, Wyclef Helped Her Experiment On She Wolf

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 11:53:00 +0000

Songstress describes how she combined several influences and made them 'coexist.' By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Jim Cantiello Shakira Photo: MTV News Shakira's latest singles, "She Wolf" and "Give It Up," are just a taste of the new direction the singer is taking in her November 23 release, She Wolf. Though she's never been a conventional pop star, to say the least, the Colombian songstress says that this album is pushing the boundaries, with the help of producers like the Neptunes and Wyclef Jean . "[Pharrell] was very open," Shakira told MTV News. "He's a very smart guy. He gets me. He understands what I'm about, what I stand for musically and artistically. He knows that I like to combine influences from different worlds and make them coexist under the same roof." The new album is her most electronic so far, and it draws influence from a variety of different locations, including Colombia, India, the Middle East and Jamaica. She hopes that it keeps ...

Shakira On She Wolf: 'I Like To Listen To My Instincts'

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:29:00 +0000

'I think every woman has a she wolf inside,' singer says of the title track off her new album. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Jim Cantiello Shakira Photo: Akshay Bhansali/ MTV News Shakira is about to release her latest English-language effort, the sexy, quirky She Wolf, on November 23. The first single, the title track , caught fans' attention with coos and howls about a woman finding and acting on her animal instincts. Shakira realized that putting out the unique tune was a bit of a risk, but one she knew she had to take. "I had to do it. It was an impulse and I usually like to listen to my instincts," She explained to MTV News. "So 'She Wolf' was a surprise." The song wasn't even planned, really — it just came about after a lousy day in the studio. "I was in the studio working on another track. I was in a terrible mood one day and we started working on this idea of a track that we had," she said, explaining that "She Wolf" soon arrived. "I knew ...
