TAYLOR SWIFT TOPS AT 2011 "AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS"

Taylor Swift at 2011 American Music Awards

Taylor Swift was the Queen of the 2011 American Music Awards tonight, taking home top honour of Artist of the Year, as voted by the Fans.  She also won Favourite Country Album for Speak Now and Favourite Country Female Artist.  In total, Swift has now won a total ten AMAs in her brief rise to the top.

Adele, a Brit, was awarded Favourite Pop/Rock Album for her top-selling 21 although unfortunately she couldn't as she is currently recovering from Throat Surgery.  Meanwhile, Bruno Mars was awarded Favourite Pop/Rock Male Artist, while a pink-haired Star Trek-esque Katy Perry was named Favourite Pop/Rock Female Artist.  Favourite Pop/Rock Band went to Maroon 5 who performed Moves Like Jagger  (ft. Christina Aguilera) and also Stereo Hearts alongside Gym Class Heroes. A teary-eyed Nicki Minaj fared v. well this evening, taking home Favourite Rap/Hip-Hop Artist and Favourite Rap/Hip-Hop Album for her debut Disc, Pink Friday.

A now-single Jennifer Lopez stunned the audience in a progressively barely-there outfit, although forgetting Lyrics to her Track Until it Beats No More, followed by Papi (from her latest FIAT Commercial) before being joined on-stage by Pitbull for On the Floor.  Pitbull later performed with Lopez's Ex-Husband Marc Anthony on Rain Over Me.

Just what exactly is Jennifer Lopez telling us with her rumoured next single Starting Over? Although many of us were shocked to hear about her split from Marc Anthony recently, Lopez might have been hinting at trouble for a while now.  She first performed the Track back in February 2010 when she did double-duty as Host and Performer on Saturday Night Live.

Although RedOne-produced track Papi originally was slated to be the third single off Lopez's latest Disc Love?, it appears plans have of switched seeing that Starting Over is more relevant to this point in her life right now.

Jennifer Lopez covers Vanity Fair September 2011 Issue

"I will always respect Marc as a singer and performer. We actually work great together, and he was always very supportive. Together we could make magic—and we did. He will always be in our lives. He will always hold a special place in my heart as the father of my children." - Jennifer Lopez, September 2011 issue of Vanity Fair

Wow, quote of the day. Jennifer Lopez quickly gives Vanity Fair's Lisa Robinson some dibs on highly-guarded information as to her impending Divorce from Marc Anthony already! Lopez dishes on her relationships with Ben Affleck and Diddy also and seems to be taking matters into stride as if she were prepared for this for quite some time, don't you think?

"We have decided to end our marriage.  This was a very difficult decision. We have come to an amicable conclusion on all matters." - Jennifer Lopez & Marc Anthony, July 15, 2011

People Magazine just broke the story that after seven years of marriage, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony have split.  No additional details on that yet but let's blame American Idol for sucking the life out of their love and the Music Industry collectively.
