Summary

A lot of the time, award shows can be fun, exciting, star-studded events. And sometimes...they’re like this year’s American Music Awards. First off, tons of the A-list nominees didn’t even bother showing up. And then, for a couple of stars who did show up, things got weird onstage. Shaboozey gave his co-presenter Megan Moroney some serious side-eye that people are still talking about. After we dissect the AMAs, we have an update on Miley Cyrus. In a very revealing interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, she opens up about new music, sobriety, and the medical condition that makes singing a serious challenge. And to cap it all off, we have the latest on what Hugh Jackman’s ex is saying about his “betrayal.”
