A careful look at the
nominess for Sunday's American Music Awards should have signaled that we were in for a long night of poor-to-horrendous attempts at live singing, but still,
we just had no idea, you guys. Pitchiness abounded, but we did enjoy seeing some of our faves
rock the red carpet beforehand. (Is Taylor Swift
taking cues from Donatella Versace now?). Check below to see the evening's performances from Rihanna, Black Eyed Peas, Miley Cyrus, Enrique Iglesias and the rest of the lineup. Was it just us, or did you miss
Adam Lambert?

Mary J. Blige is such a consummate professional, the songstress could pull off anything... right? The Queen of Soul tries her hand at country in the mid-tempo, feel good twanged-out track, "Care", featuring T.I. and Kid Rock. Does Mary have more spark channeling her inner Reba McEntire and Trisha Yearwood than she did on the "throwaway" song "
Break Up To Make Up"? Let's hope. Jump below to see how much you care for "Care":

E!'s resident comedian Chelsea Handler is taking on hosting duties of the 2010 MTV VMAs, and but Handler has just one little problem—she's offended pretty much every celebrity that will be in attendance at the awards fest. Except Kid Rock... although we may have spoke too soon. As her sidekick Chuy says in the promo: "Aaaawkward." Check out Chelsea and Kid Rock's VMA promos below:

The video for Eminem’s “3 A.M.” will debut on Cinemax this Saturday, right before the movie channel airs some flick about Liv Tyler getting terrorized while on vacation. (Alas, it doesn’t look like it’s a member of the National Lampoon franchise.) The press release touting the video’s debut says that this marks a “first for the network”; you, like me, may be thinking “wait, what about that Kid Rock video all those months ago,” but that was actually just a TV premiere of a video that had already been on YouTube for quite some time. Ah, semantics! More »

Aside from holidays where major news events happen, thus disrupting one’s chance to actually get away from her laptop and have a life, April Fool’s Day is probably the most annoying 24-hour stretch on the professional blogger’s calendar, thanks to everyone on the Internet thinking they’re funny. Despite that not really being true! After the jump, a running tally of pranks from various music-related entities; it’ll be updated throughout the day, because Lord knows I need to do something with all the “comedy” clogging up my RSS reader right now.

As you may have gathered, I’m raring to close the book on 2008, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t run down some of the site’s highlights during what was a pretty dreary year overall. After the jump, behold a pretty subjective top 12 of the year (thanks to our technological limbo I can’t run any sort of numbers, but I think this list accurately captures the best moments we’ve had during a long slog of a year). And of course I’d be remiss if I didn’t thank all of you for coming back, reading, commenting, and pointing out when I get shit wrong (which is too often). If you think I got this list wrong, feel free to abuse me with compliments in the comments section!
