Enrique Iglesias Recalls Being Dumped Before Prom On ‘When I Was 17’

‘I had no luck with the ladies,’ the singer admits in the latest episode airing this Saturday at 11 a.m. By Mawuse Ziegbe Enrique Iglesias appears on “When I was 17” Photo: MTV News He’s known for his legions of female fans and for spending years with leggy tennis phenom Anna Kournikova on his arm. But back in the day, Enrique Iglesias says he was far from a ladies’ man. “I had no luck with the ladies,” Iglesias reminisces on the latest episode of “When I Was 17,” airing Saturday at 11 a.m. The Latin pop heartthrob, who was 17 in the early ’90s, recalls striking out with a lady friend before one of the biggest nights in most teenagers’ lives: prom. “I was going to prom with this girl that I really liked and she said that she had decided that she wasn’t gonna go with me. It was devastating,” the singer reveals. “When you’re in high school and a few weeks before prom the girl you’re going with says no, it’s awful. At the time, my whole world came crumbling down.” Iglesias, who has gone on to chart-topping international success with romantic hits like “Hero” and “Escape,” concedes that he didn’t take the pre-prom dis very well. “I probably did cry. I hate to admit that now, it’s kind of embarrassing,” Iglesias says, shaking his head as he mutters, “Such a wuss.” Despite the drama, Iglesias ended up heading to the prom without a date and having a blast. “I went to my prom alone. I know it sounds awful, but I went with my friends. I had a good time,” Iglesias said. Now the “Bailamos” crooner can look back on the experience with a laugh and a message for other teens facing prom night without a dream date. “For all you guys out there: It’s OK to go to prom by yourself,” Iglesias assures viewers. “You don’t need a date for prom.” “When I Was 17” — this week featuring Iglesias, Kelly Rowland and Stephanie Pratt — airs Saturday at 11 a.m. on MTV.

Kimberly Caldwell Relives Bloody Prom Mishap On ‘When I Was 17’

‘American Idol’ vet tells all — show airs Saturday at 11 a.m. ET on MTV! By James Montgomery Kimberly Caldwell Photo: MTV News Kimberly Caldwell has turned heads on “American Idol” and the TV Guide Channel, and things were pretty much the same when she was 17 … only, back then, she was turning heads for an entirely different reason: She was the girl positively covered in blood. It seems that, back in high school, Caldwell was the talk of her prom, although not for any of the reasons the bubbly Texas blonde would’ve preferred. And on the next episode of MTV’s ‘When I Was 17,” she spills the details about the prom-night mishap that haunts her to this day. “When I was 17, I got asked out by one of the really hot senior boys to prom and I was, like, so excited,” Caldwell said. “And so I’m with all these seniors, and we go to this really beautiful restaurant, and we’re walking, and I had gotten this really, really pretty dress, and all my friends, like, came over and helped me get ready and everything.” The incident that ensued was not something out of Stephen King’s “Carrie,” but the effect was not that different. “I was so excited, and of course I had put on my ‘I’m so cool, this is not too exciting’ face. So we went to this restaurant, and before we even ate dinner, I tripped and I fell,” she continued. “My dress got split all the way up to my belly button, and my knee got a gash and it started gushing blood. It was a really, really sexy moment for me.” Indeed! For more on Caldwell’s teenaged misadventures — plus equally harrowing tales from Cobra Starship’s Gabe Saporta and Olympic medalist Evan Lysacek — don’t miss the next episode of “When I Was 17,” airing Saturday at 11 a.m. on MTV. There will be blood! Don’t miss the latest episode of “When I Was 17” — featuring Saporta, Evan Lysacek and Kimberly Caldwell — airing Saturday at 11 a.m. on MTV!
