Selena Gomez was sparkly and short in her silver toga dress and gladiator sandals. Cute. Her buddy, Demi Lovato, also stepped out in a short, flirty dress looking simple and elegant at the 2009 American Music Awards at the Nokia Theater Los Angeles Live. Good job, ladies!

Toni Braxton kept it simple yet sexy in a simple black dress that showed off plenty of leg and gave a sneak peek of torso. Star of V, Morena Baccarin, also looked super-sexy in her patent-leather black heels and curve-hugging dress with a plunging neckline and all of it with a sweet pixie haircut and mysterious smile.

That is a whole lot of furry-looking turquoise Phoebe Price is wearing to the American Music Awards and I'm just wondering how many ostriches had to die for that coat of hers. I'm also not a fan of the black ankle boots Melody Thornton chose to pair with her clingy white dress.

Who do you guys think are the best and worst dressed of the ladies?

However Taylor Swift was not there, but she's apparently incredibly popular. She beat out Michael Jackson to win Entertainer of the Year and took home a total of five American Music Awards.

The highlight of the night for me was Whitney Houston's performance of "I Didn't Know My Own Strength." While the rasp was present throughout the performance, the girl knows how to command a stage. She belted out the performance until she was almost out of breath. It was a powerful moment.



Michel Jackson ended up with four awards. Other multiple winners included hip-hop acts Jay-Z and the Black Eyed Peas, with two each.

The Black Eyed Peas were named favorite group in both the pop/rock and soul/R&B categories. Jay-Z won favorite male artist and favorite album in the rap/hip-hop categories.

Punk rock trio Green Day was named favorite alternative artist. Rascal Flatts won favorite country group for the fourth year in a row.

Curvaceous star, Sofia Vergara, showed off her seductive side on the red carpet for this year's American Music Awards in a pale pink, two-tone, floor-length gown.

Posing for photographers, it's hard to imagine that the sexy actress packs a comedic punch on the ABC series, Modern Family. But then again, who says funny has to be frumpy?

Dental school is no laughing matter, ask Sofia Vergara, star of ABC's new sitcom Modern Family. In a phone interview with People Magazine, Vergara provides a few fun facts about real life, her stint in dentistry and a Spanish speaking Al Bundy.

- The accent is real, not made for TV.
- Like her character on Modern Family, she was a teenage mom. Her son is currently a high school senior with plans for college next fall. She has already begun suffering from separation anxiety.
- She is OCD about dental hygiene and before becoming a TV host, she almost traded laughs for dentistry.
- Al Bundy spoke Spanish. Well at least to Vergara, who used to watch Married with Children dubbed in Spanish in Colombia. Ed O'Neil (Bundy) now plays her husband in Modern Family.
- She shares the same zip code as Shakira. Both hail from Barranquilla, Colombia. A possible guess spot? She would love for her friend to play her sister on the show.

Style-conscious American Idol runner-up, Adam Lambert, is set to debut his debut album, For Your Entertainment, and is prepping for the event with a stroll on the red carpet for the premiere of 2012. The singer's song, "Time for Miracles," is featured in the soundtrack for the disaster movie.

Lambert chatted with MTV News about his participation with the film, "I really feel honored that they came to me and asked me. I think it's obviously a risk on their part because this was before any sort of album had been completed or hardly even started."

As for other attendees of the event, Thandie Newton and Sofia Vergara looked absolutely stunning in their strapless dresses. Yowzah. John Cusack was in his usual all black ensemble and Woody Harrelson looked dapper in his suit and fedora.

Celebrating the success of her show Modern Family, actress Sofia Vergara hit Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills to do a little shopping. The actress tried on several pieces of jewelry at David Yurman, and even posed for some photos for the paparazzi. She even flashed a peace sign at photographers as she headed for her car.

One of my favorite Colombian imports is beautiful actress, Sofia Vergara, whose hotness is matched only by her comedic timing. She stars in the new ABC comedy, Modern Family, opposite Ed O'Neill.

This mockumentary includes such advice to a stepfather of how to treat his new stepson as, "You be the wind in his back and not the spit in his face."

I'm loving the the gay couple who adopt a Vietnamese baby. You have to watch the clip of the couple boarding the plane with their new daughter and keep your ears perked up for the words, "I'm going to give the speech."



The series already has a high-profile celebrity fan in Edward Norton, who will be guest-starring on the series as the bassist of a famous band playing the anniversary party of one of the characters.

Check out two more clips after the jump.

The series premieres on Wednesday, September 23, at 9/8c on ABC.
 

They grow up so fast don't they? Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher along with Demi's ex-husband Bruce Willis and his new wife Emma Heming threw an 18th birthday bash their daughter Scout LaRue Willis' 18th birthday. The party took place at the Cicada restaurant in Los Angeles California this past Friday, July 17.

Scout's younger sister Tallulah Belle Willis was also at the party, and was acting like one of the grown ups. She was flirting with an older man, cocktail in hand and carrying around a timeless accessory her own pack of Marlboro lights! The 15-year-old concluded the evening by being escorted out (the Willis women love their drinky) by her friends who all carefully steadied her as she tried to avoid the watchful glare of step-dad Ashton Kutcher.

Burlesque queen Dita von Teese was the entertainment for the night, which was in theme for the 1920's era party.
