Heya folks, tonight’s the American Music Awards (one step below The Grammys and two steps above the People’s Choice Awards) and we’re here to liveblog the whole thee-hour shebang! Now that Mad Men’s wrapped up for the season, you’ve got no excuse not to tune in to see every last pop star try to outshine one another—with their performances, their outfits, or by just being an a-hole on-air. (Somebody’s gotta play the villain role in Kanye’s absence.) After the epic VMAs back in September, the AMAs have a lot to live up to in terms of incessantly-talked-about watercooler moments: if one drunken throw-down doesn’t take place, if Jennifer Lopez doesn’t stumble to the ground while prancing around in her Loubies, or if Lady Gaga refrains from terrifying us with a pantsless performance peppered with bodily fluids, we’re calling it a snoozefest. Onto the awards! MORE »

Today Shakira premiered the Sophie Muller-directed video for “Give It Up To Me,” preceded by an interview with Carolina Bermudez of New York’s Z100 radio station.
The Timbaland-produced “Give It Up To Me” (ft. Lil Wayne, naturally) is the third single off the Colombian singer’s She Wolf album—will this one have any bite? Honestly, how many singles does this album need before release?
Believe it or not, the video marks the first time Shakira’s used backup dancers. “For the first time in my life, I’m stepping,” the singer told Bermudez. “I didn’t know what it was like to be on stage with backup dancers. You feel contained, you know?” Hey now, no fighting.
Catch the bump ‘n grind fest that is Shakira’s “Give It Up To Me” vid after the jump.

Cantankerous actor (and newly appointed Oscar co-host) Alec Baldwin has denied responsibility for the Lil Wayne cake his daughter, Ireland, enjoyed on her 14th birthday: “No, I didn’t [get it for her]. I don’t know where that came from. But I will take that idea. I will give here a Little Wayne cake for her next birthday,” he told New York. Hmm, but it might be a bit passé by then! Perhaps next year you should just go with Drake’s? [Vulture / Earlier] MORE »

Lil Wayne’s No Ceilings has made its way online in full. And it features him rapping over “I Gotta Feeling”! Because that song will never, ever die. Otherwise, I’m still letting it sink in, but I do like the Romper Room moment during one interlude where he says that he made the mix for “you. You you you.” (Later in the interlude, he takes some time out to light a blunt, lighter effects and everything.) [2dopeboyz] MORE »

Chris Brown’s “I Can Transform Ya” video takes the lessons of this summer’s Michael Bay blockbuster to heart, with people in the video changing into fire trucks (an unintentional homage to the semi-iconic video for “Cherry Pie”?), motorcycles, and sleek cars right before your eyes. (You’re supposed to say “ooh” there.) It’s not a groundbreaking clip by any means, but at least this video flagrantly abuses CGI to come up with something that doesn’t look like bad hotel-room art, right? Progress! Clip after the jump.

You think Lil Wayne has just been sitting around worrying about whether or not his upcoming prison term will cost him his hair? Think again. Apparently he has a new mixtape, No Ceilings, set to come out this week; one track that’s leaked from it so far is his freestyle over Jay-Z’s Rihanna/Kanye collab “Run This Town,” which is after the jump.

This morning in New York, Lil Wayne pled guilty to a 2007 attempted weapon-possession charge stemming from a gun being found on his tour bus in July of that year; he’ll likely receive a prison sentence of a year as a result. Wayne had originally filed a not guilty plea in the case, but prosecutors’ decision to use a somewhat controversial form of DNA testing in order to prove that he’d handled the gun apparently resulted in him changing his plea.
