The American Music Awards celebrated 40 years of the Dick Clark run show and Justin Bieber won big and even got groped by Jenny McCarthy later calling it ‘cougar rape’ OMG maybe that’s why his mom took the stage with him later! P!nk got all alternative dance on us for ‘Try’ and Ke$ha woke up our animal side and Psy got everyone on their feet with a mash up of “Gangnam Style ” and “Too Legit to Quit” with MC Hammer. On aside note…Taylor Swift needs to wear short dresses all the time…she has great legs!
