Hey gals,
Blog Girl here!
I had a great time hanging out at the red carpet and backstage at the American Music Awards. Music’s biggest stars came out for the show (held at The Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles), from Miley Cyrus to Jesse McCartney to the cast of High School Musical. These guys are all over town this week, promoting the upcoming tour, which you got a preview of (check out yesterday’s blog)!
Miley was the first to stop and chat with us on the red carpet. She brought along her dad Billy Ray, and she looked super cute in a sparkly white dress. Right next to Miley were the Cheetah Girls. Kiely, Sabrina, and Adrienne giggled while they told us about getting ready for the big night.
Fans and even other press people on the red carpet started going wild when “Wind It Up” singer Gwen Stefani walked by. She was rushed inside, so she didn’t have time to chat. The Cheetah Girls told us they were so excited to see Gwen, one of their favorite performers. “Chemicals React” rockers (and AMA nominees) Aly and AJ greeted us with the biggest hugs ever. We asked the girls who took longer to get ready, and the verdict is in: both of them! These two are so much fun to chat with, and they looked so good in their dresses.
Cutie Chris Brown had time to do a video shout out for BOP and Tiger Beat readers. He’s such a sweetheart. Who else did we spot on the red carpet? Well, how about JoJo and Fall Out Boy right next to each other! Unfortch, JoJo was also rushed inside, but she did wave and gave us a flying kiss. Okay, it was a mission to get Fall Out Boy to do a shout-out to you guys. Mission accomplished! Pete even makes his sneering face right after. He’s so funny!
It was mere minutes before the start of the show, but the red carpet was still buzzing with celebrities. The cast of HSM finally made their way to our spot on the carpet, and they all looked sensational. Zac Efron couldn’t make it, but Ashley Tisdale, Corbin Bleu, Vanessa Hudgens, Monique Coleman, and Lucas Grabeel were all there. They said it feels like a school reunion every time they all get together. They really are such close friends.
During the show, I got to go backstage and hang out in the General Press Area. This is where award winners, presenters, and performers go after stepping off the stage. I knew I was going to get some good stuff here for you. Jesse McCartney stopped by and told us he just read a script for a movie - so watch out for Jesse’s screen comeback! American Idol winners Carrie Underwood and Taylor Hicks also chatted with us backstage. They’re both so thankful for the opportunities winning Idol has given them. Stars like JoJo, JC Chasez, and Sean Paul also stopped by the Press Area. I had so much fun.
