Like most high-profile awards shows, there were showstopping performances, off-the-runway fashion and emotional moments. Unlike most trophy fests, the AMA winners aren’t determined by the inner circle of music-industry professionals, but rather the fans who plunk down cash for hit records. This year, fans handed over pyramids to the artists who also cranked out many of the biggest hits. Justin Bieber made off with the most AMA booty, nabbing four trophies. Taylor Swift, Rihanna, the Black Eyed Peas, Eminem and Bieber’s mentor Usher also snagged AMA loot. Check out the list of AMA winners below: Pop or Rock Music Favorite Male Artist Justin Bieber Favorite Female Artist Lady Gaga Favorite Band, Duo or Group The Black Eyed Peas Favorite Album Justin Bieber, My World 2.0 Country Music Favorite Male Artist Brad Paisley Favorite Female Artist Taylor Swift Favorite Band, Duo or Group Lady Antebellum Favorite Album Carrie Underwood, Play On Rap/ Hip-Hop Music Favorite Male Artist Eminem Favorite Album Eminem, Recovery Soul/ Rhythm & Blues Music Favorite Male Artist Usher Favorite Female Artist Rihanna Favorite Album Usher, Raymond v.

Backstreet Boys And New Kids On The Block Close The AMAs

Posted on November 21, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Backstreet Boys And New Kids On The Block Close The AMAs

The boy bands bring their old favorites to the American Music Awards. By Jocelyn Vena New Kids On The Block perform with the Backstreet Boys at the 2010 American Music Awards on Sunday Photo: Kevin Winter/ AMA2010/ Getty Images They might have been the only nine guys who could close out a show as hectic as the American Music Awards. In a show filled with pop newcomers like Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber , New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys graced the stage to show they still had the right stuff. Like any good boy-band performance, there were pyrotechnics and sweet dance moves. The pop supergroup started with a mash-up of the BSB hit “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)” and the NKOTB classic “Hangin’ Tough.” Soon the guys slowed it down for Backstreet’s “I Want It That Way” and then kicked it old school for the New Kids’ “Step by Step.” All nine guys took a dance break before they segued into “The Right Stuff,” complete with the New Kids’ infamous shuffle dance from the video. The spotlight once again fell on a BSB tune before they capped it off with “Larger Than Life,” complete with an “NKOTBSB” chant. Confetti fell from the sky as the guys closed out the show. Earlier in the night, all nine guys hit the AMA red carpet together. In an interview earlier this month, they teased that there was a chance they might record a track together. “It’s tough getting these guys in the studio. These young cats,” New Kid Joey McIntyre explained about his tourmates, the Backstreet Boys . “Well, it’s honestly, it is tough to get everybody together. Yes, we have lots of great intentions.

Scientology Uses Stolen Star Wars Clips to Fire Up Its Members Against Entheta [Cults]

Posted on March 2, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Scientologists just love copyright laws, because they allow them to demand that YouTube take down their extremely embarrassing internal videos. But when it comes to stealing other people’s copyrighted material to make their own motivational cult films—that’s different. This terrifying Scientology motivational video, apparently designed to fire up Las Vegas Celebrity Center staffers to become an “ideal org,” encourages members to “play for blood” and wage total war with spears and lasers against psychiatrists and then blast off into space to rid the galaxy of entheta, or something like that. It does so by way of clips from Star Wars , Braveheart , assorted Tom Cruise films, and Independence Day . We contacted some of the studios that own these films to see how they feel about Scientology using their copyrighted material for weird internal team-building psychiatrist-killing exercises. (We should note that it’s not clear from the video, which was leaked to YouTube, just how publicly it was designed to be distributed, so we’re not certain that Scientology’s use of the clips actually infringed on any copyrights. But given the cult’s conservative interpretation of copyright laws in the past, we imagine it would be sensitive to the issues involved.) A spokesman for Twentieth Century Fox, which owns distribution rights to Lucasfilm’s Star Wars series, wasn’t aware of the video until we brought it to his attention. “Well, we’d never seen it until you emailed me and didn’t authorize it, so we’re now investigating with Lucas and will take whatever next steps we have to,” he said via e-mail. Not long after, the video was disappeared from YouTube “due to a copyright claim by Lucasfilm Ltd. ” [ With reporting by Gawker intern Sergio Hernandez .]
