Fresh off of her big SNL appearance, which gave them their best ratings of the season, all eyes were on Taylor Swift as she helped the CMA Awards to their biggest audience in over four years. The 43rd Annual Country Music Association Awards aired on ABC live from Nashville and it’s being reported that Swift alone pulled in an average of 17 milion viewers throughout the Wednesday evening (Nov 11) telecast.

The 19 year old country music sensation (who will celebrate her 20th birthday a month from today) also made history by becoming the youngest winner to be given the “Entertainer of the Year” award. She also took home 4 more awards: Best Music Video, Best Album, Best Female Vocalist & Entertainer of the Year.

It’s crazy what Kanye West snatching a mic out of your hand will do to your career LOL. More pics of Taylor at the CMA Awards when you continue reading…

Miranda Cosgrove and Brody Jenner presented Beyonce with the award for “Best Video” at the 2009 MTV EMA last night (Thur Nov 5). And when Beyonce made her speech she said she only wanted to thank one person:

“Okay, there’s only one person I wanna thank. …. And that is Jay for putting a ring on it”

Wait, this can’t really be the first time Beyonce has publicly acknowledged her marriage to Jay-Z in the past year and a half can’t it?? Better late than never we guess but damn!

Beyonce’s music video for “Single Ladies” beat out “Waking Up In Vegas” (Katy Perry), “Circus” (Britney Spears), “We Made You” (Eminem), “She Wolf” (Shakira) in the category. Earlier in the night she performed her hit single “Sweet Dreams.”

Rapper Jay-Z came out and spat some verses as he performed “Sunday Bloody Sunday” with U2 in front of Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate during the 2009 MTV EMAs (Europe Music Awards) in Germany. This comes just a few days short of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall (Nov 9th).

Being over 8,000 miles away from New York City didn’t stop Jay-Z from repping his hometown to the fullest when he performed his hit single “Empire State of Mind” from his latest album Blueprint 3 Thursday night (Nov 5) in Berlin Germany at the O2 Arena for the 2009 EMAs (Europe Music Awards).

Alicia Keys is featured on the track and music video but was unable to make it to Germany to perform the song with Jay, so his new artist Bridget Kelly filled in and to tell you the truth, homegirl could really give Alicia a run for her money! The 21-year-old LaGuardia High School graduate is signed to Jay-Z’s Roc Nation label. For more information on her, follow her on Twitter.

Wearing a long dark black dress, singer Leona Lewis performed her latest single “Happy” on stage last night (Thur Nov 5) at the 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards, held at the O2 Arena in Berlin, Germany.

We love Leona and judging solely on vocals, she nailed it! But her performance was definitely forgettable because she just stood in one spot … the … entire … performance, which is really boring. We were hoping she would at least slowly walk down that big azz catwalk as the song progressed or something! It’s a good thing she’s VERY easy on the eyes and had all of those nice visual effects on the screen helping her out.

Leona’s sophomore album Echo is set to be released November 17th in the U.S. (Nov 16 in the U.K.) via J Records. Check out a video of her EMA performance after the cut…

Promoting her latest album She Wolf, Colombian Latin-pop singer/songwriter Shakira performed a great rendition of her new single “Did It Again” at Thursday night’s (Nov 5) 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards in Berlin.

We love how the performance started out just like the music video! Truth be told, we have no idea what she’s saying (who really listens to the words anyway? LOL) but that doesn’t take away from the energy of the overall performance one bit. The ending was dope too, when she put the mic down and did the choreography with the drummers.

Shakira’s new album She Wolf will be released here in the U.S. on November 23rd. Continue reading for the video of her performance.

According to our boy FreddyO, Frankie just “found” 2 more of her children last week. We’re not entirely sure how you “lose” and “find” your own children, but with Frankie, this is a regular thing. Anyway, she was already a little emotional, so when she spoke to press on the red carpet of the BET Hip Hop Awards Saturday (Oct 10) in Atlanta, she got a little emotional when the subject turned to her daughter Keyshia Cole:

“She’s been taking care of me since [inaudible] don’t get it twisted. Matter of fact, she’s the reason why I got my esteem back and my hope. When I got out of prison, if it wasn’t for her, I would not be walking the red carpet. Shout out to God. My baby gave me so much encouragement, no matter how I look. ‘Mama you are beautiful. Mama you are fine.’”

Aww, how sweet! No comment on those platinum fronts though, we’re just glad we haven’t heard anything about Frankie wildin’ out at any of the weekend’s festivities. She hosted her own red carpet segment too, and we all know how that could have went!

Beyonce set the stage on fire Sunday night (Sep 13) and brought the audience to their feet as she performed a rendition of her hit single, “Single Ladies,” at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, held at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. We were under the impression that she would perform her most recent single, “Sweet Dreams” and were a bit disappointed when she didn’t … but overall, she did her thing on the stage and we can’t complain!

Last night’s VMAs opened up with a touching speech about Michael Jackson by pop singer Madonna, followed by an upbeat dance routine featuring some of the King of Pop’s biggest hits. Among the dancers were famous choreographers Wade Robson, Tina Landon, Laurie Anne Gibson, and Chris Judd, who all put in hours of rehearsal time to make the tribute a success.

The highlight of the tribute was when MJ’s little sister Janet Jackson came out during “Scream” and broke it down at the end with the music video’s dance routine. The effect of the backdrop made it seem like MJ was dancing right beside her, which was so sweet! You could tell this particular performance was a bit difficult for Janet as she clenched her jaws and tried to hold back her tears at the end. But we applaud her for going up there and doing her thing in spite of just losing her brother just 2 months ago.

Jay-Z and Alicia Keys closed out the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards with a performance of their song, “Empire State of Mind,” which comes from Jay’s new album, The Bluprint 3. Towards the end of their set, a noticeably excited Lil Mama jumped on stage and crashed their performance… AWKWARD!!

Here are some pictures featuring performances from pop singer Lady Gaga, singer/songwriter Pink and young country music sensation Taylor Swift.

Gaga performed her hit single, “Paparazzi” and left everyone thinking “what the hell…?” after her performance ended with her hanging above the stage with blood all over her body.

Pink took to the stage with “Sober,” a song from her most recent album, Funhouse. She performed her entire set (live) in the air with a trapeze artist. Dope!

Taylor started her performance of “You Belong with Me” underground in an NYC subway terminal before making her way to the streets of Manhattan, where she ended her set on top of a taxi cab.

Rapper Kanye West offered Joe Jackson a sip from his bottle of Henny before last night’s VMAs. The bottle apparently made its way around the audience because Pete Wentz was also spotted drinking straight from the community bottle. Looks like Kanye and Amber were trying to get everybody a little loose!

Kid Cudi and Wale performed as a part of the official house band during commercial breaks/intermissions.

Lady Gaga accepted her award for “Best New Artist” from a shocked Eminem. We would love to know what he was thinking when he saw her in that outfit!

The famous Jackson clan patriarch, Joe Jackson, didn’t arrive at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards with his estranged wife Katherine. He instead chose to show up at the red carpet of the show with some long-haired unidentified woman with some tig ol’ bitties with turned a lot of heads and caused a lot of whispers. Still no word on who the woman is and why she was at the show with Joe. All we know is that she was his “guest.”

Singers Pink and Shakira arrived on the red carpet of the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards with the EXACT SAME dress on! Both ladies laughed off the fact that they arrived at a major awards show with the same Balmain studded leather dress and posed for some pics together. But our question is … who owns the look?

Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.

Rapper Kanye West and his girlfriend Amber Rose decided it’d be a good idea to arrive on the red carpet of last night’s VMAs with a big ol’ bottle of Henny, which explains their choice of attire. They both, especially Amber, had to be pretty drunk to leave their hotel dressed like that. Amber wore a skin-tight snake skinned outfit while Kanye chose to wear a leather button down shirt and some busted black Timbs.

Here are some photos from the red carpet of the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, held Sunday night (Sep 13) at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Big names like Beyonce, Alicia Keys, Ne-Yo, Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Kanye West and more all showed up and posed for pictures. Continue reading for the rest of them!

Here Jamie Foxx can be seen paying tribute to Michael Jackson (comedically, of course) as the host of the 2009 BET Awards, which aired live from Los Angeles Sunday night (Jun 28) on BET. Jamie Foxx is probably one of the few people who can make light of a sad situation and have everyone laughing and crying at the same time. The BET Awards was supposed to dedicate the entire show to Michael, per the press release sent out Friday, but failed to impress.

The show itself was pretty good, but they should have never mentioned dedicating the show to MIchael if they didn’t have the time to do it right. That said, we really hope they put together an entire special to honor the late King of Pop so they can at least try to save face. But for now, continue reading for photos of Soulja Boy, Jay-Z, Monica, Beyonce, Ne-Yo and many more celebrities who participated in this year’s BET Awards.

Joe Jackson, the patriarch of the Jackson family, gave his first public interview since Michael Jackson’s shocking death to CNN on the red carpet of Sunday’s (Jun 28) 2009 BET Awards. Between him having other people speak for him, referring to his family losing “the biggest superstar in the world” and plugging his new record label at the end, we just think ol’ Joe Jackson was there to show face, instead of honoring his SON. It’s kind of weird how he referred to Mike as “the biggest superstar in the world” instead of his son. He just seems so indifferent to it all. Everything is just business with this guy and the entire interview gives off an awkward vibe.

CNN: I know the last couple of days has been tough for you guys…

Joe: And?… Yeah, it has. It’s been really tough. Remember we just lost the biggest superstar in the world, so it’s been tough…

R. Kelly has apparently nixed the cornrows and is now rocking the even steven. He performed at the ARISE Africa Fashion Awards Saturday (Jun 20) at the Sandton Convention Center in Johannesburg, South Africa. The South African people appear to have shown the R&B singer a lot of love and was presented with the Friend of Africa award after his performance of his hits including Ignition, Wind for Me, Down Low and Happy People.

In other Robert Kelly news, he’s in hot water with police due to his alleged involvement in some kind of investment scam. A Durban woman named Busisiwe Priscilla Zakwe implicated Kelly in the so-called scam that allegedly swindled money out of more than 50 people, most of whom were pensioners. State prosecutor Blackie Swart wrote a letter to Jason Miller, Kelly’s agent, earlier this year with requests that the singer explain his involvement in the scam, but apparently he didn’t receive any kind of response.
