Idolator

In case you ever wondered to yourself, "Wouldn't it be fun to be at the taping of Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin Eve?" here's some evidence that strongly suggests the answer is "no": "Glittery confetti was on the floor, teens lined up in the faux VIP section next to a fake bar (no alcohol was served), and Akon performed his hits 'Don't Matter,' 'Smack That' and 'I Wanna Love You.' For each song, there was a rehearsal, then the actual performance, then producers played a canned version of the song as cameramen roamed the audience for dancing close-ups." [AP]
