Brown, West lead American Music Awards
Los Angeles - Chris Brown was the big winner, but it was Kanye West's night at the American Music Awards.
Instead of his typical tantrum - a trend West started four years ago when he lost the favorite new artist prize - the rapper claimed two trophies Sunday and called on his colleagues to up their game.
"It's our responsibility as musicians to keep pushing each other," West said. "We will be the new Beatles, the new (Jimi) Hendrix. I want to be Elvis."
West was named favorite male rap/hip-hop artis
Stars talk designers on American Music Awards' red carpet
The stars all dressed up for the American Music Awards with plenty of precious metals glittering on the red carpet.
Christina Aguilera brought a bit of Hollywood style glamour in a floor-length figure-hugging silver gown, which she wore with a deep red lipstick.
Pink opted for a long silver number too, although hers was darker with black detailing.
And winner Taylor Swift also went for silver in a one-shouldered dress by Collette Dinnigan - she admits she's drawn to sparkly things.

There's no amount of money in the world that would make us sit through the American Music Awards (OK, that's not entirely accurate), so instead of a write-up of the snooze-fest, here's an exhaustive collection of photos. From the looks of things, Miley Cyrus once again made the entire event all about her (and her 16th birthday, which she's been celebrating for the past few months). Surprise, surprise.

Justin Timberlake makes surprise appearance @ 2008 AMAs
A lot of people thought it was going to be Britney Spears making a surprise appearance at the 2008 American Music Awards, but much to Britney fans’ disappointment, it was Justin Timberlake. The “Sexyback” singer presented Annie Lennox with the Award of Merit, after which she received a standing ovation for a moving rendition of her hit “Why” on the piano. Justin was honored to be there to present Lennox with the award and revealed that he is a big fan.

The American Music Awards
I really enjoyed the performances, in particular Beyonce’s Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It). It was mesmerizing. Pink of course didn’t disappoint. Loved the dress she wore during her performance and her duet with Sarah McLaughlin was beautiful. Despite her separation, Sarah McLaughlin is looking great.
Most notable was Chris Brown who won Artist of the Year along with two other awards. It was so funny when Chris said he would have chosen Coldplay for Artist of the Year. Rihanna be
2008 American Music Awards Red Carpet Photos
The 2008 American Music Awards was a big night for celebrities to show their best garments and wow at the red carpet – some did it gracefully and some failed miserably. In my modest opinion Alicia Keys (minus the earrings!) was the best dressed and Sarah Silverman the worst dressed at the red carpet.

Kanye West @ 2008 AMAs
Kanye West won 2 awards and performed at last night’s 2008 American Music Awards. West won Best Rap/Hip-Hop Male Artist and Best Rap/Hip-Hop Album for ‘Graduation’. In this acceptance speech West revealed to the crowd that he wants to be Elvis.
“I wake up every morning thinking, ‘What stereotypes do I wanna break. “It’s up to artists to push one another. We’ll push each other to be the new Beatles, the new Hendrix…I wanna be Elvis.”

Rihanna’s Jewel Encrusted Eye Patch
Rihanna wore a jewel-encrusted eyepatch to accessorize her spiky dominatrix outfit for her performance of “Rehab” at the 2008 American Music Awards held at Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE on Sunday in Los Angeles.
There’s something so Mad Maxish looking about those chained shoulder pads and leather corset. It’s as if there was a VIP sale at some post-apocalyptic junkyard. She wasn’t the only one who dressed up looking like she was going to some Sci-Fi convention.

Christina Aguilera @ 2008 AMAs
Christina Aguilera kicked off the 2008 American Music Awards with a medley of “Beautiful,” “Keeps Gettin’ Better,” “Genie in a Bottle,” “Dirrty,” “Ain’t No Other Man” and “Fighter.”

‘Pussycat Dolls’ Sex Doesn’t Always Sell
With so much hype for the awesome lineup at the AMA’s this year, I thought this show was a sure winner. Well, I was wrong and I admit it. There were some good performances like Annie Lennox. Justin Timberlake didn’t even perform…..he just recorded a duet with Rihanna and for some, unknown reason didn’t feel the need to perform with her at a music award’s show?!?! That girl needed his help!
BUT, “I Hate This Part” by the Pussycat Dolls…..my oh my. Th
