Miguel isn’t likely to live down his ‘epic fail’ moment from this past weekend’s Billboard Music Awards anytime soon, but what about the girl that fell victim to the Adorn singer’s body slam?

Well no worries, because the unlucky fan, an audience member named Khyati, is doing just fine, and actually met up with Miguel backstage after the incident.

Billboard caught up with the both of them, and you could tell Miguel felt really horrible, while Khyati seemed to be in great spirits. I mean, I guess she does have quite the story to tell now, right?

Earlier today, the year’s hottest MC, Kendrick Lamar, R&B singer, Chris Brown, and a very pregnant, Tamar Braxton, announced this year’s BET Awards nominations on the rooftop of a nightclub in downtown L.A..

For the most part I was unimpressed with the majority of last night’s Grammy Awards, but the lackluster performances didn’t stop the celebs in attendance from enjoying their evening.

Honestly, my favorite part of any big awards show is watching the artists’ reactions to the performances and the interactions between fellow famous folks. Photographers inside the star-studded event did a great job capturing some of these candid moments, and we’ve got them for you below.

Portia de Rossi had a laugh while Ellen got an eyeful of Katy Perry.

The nominees for the 55th Annual Grammy Awards were announced last night in a special CBS telecast hosted by Taylor Swift and LL Cool J. The men dominated the list this year with Jay-Z, Kanye West, and Frank Ocean each receiving six nods; Miguel with five, and Nas claiming four spots for his LP, Life Is Good. The ladies didn’t do as well this year. Although, Elle Varner and Rihanna made their way onto the list, Nicki Minaj (not that I’m complaining), and a few others are noticeably absent …

The American Music Awards have always been an award show I could take or leave, and last night was no different. I caught bits and pieces of the 40th annual show, but I definitely wasn’t glued to the TV by any means.

Regardless of my thoughts though, there were plenty of celebs in attendance, walking the red carpet and hitting up the press room throughout the evening.

Nicki Minaj ditched her typical crazy get-ups and arrived in a neon gown that looked great with her skin tone. However, I think we can all agree that wig has got to go.

MC Hammer randomly reemerged last night to close out the show with Korean pop star, Psy, helping him out with his über-annoying hit, Gangnam Style.

Kelly Rowland was all smiles as she strolled down the red carpet, looking fabulous as usual!

Some of the other stars making their way through L.A.’s Nokia Theater included Tyga, Brandy, Usher, Swizz Beatz, and 50 Cent. Hit the jump to check out more photos, and post your thoughts!

This year’s event was hosted by actresses, Regina King, and Tracee Ellis Ross, with performances by Ciara, Missy Elliott, Keyshia Cole, Brandy, Alicia Keys, India Arie, SWV, Eric Benet, and Anthony Hamilton. The ladies definitely showed up and showed out and the men did their thing with a soulful performance of their own.

Among this year’s honorees were Dionne Warwick, who was given the Living Legend Award, Alicia Keys (Rock Star Award), and Janelle Monáe who gave a powerful and uplifting speech as she accepted the Young, Gifted, & Black Award.

British GQ held their annual Men of the Year Awards last night in London, and rising hip hop star, Azealia Banks, was in attendance.

The UK’s Capital FM had a chance to catch up with Miss Banks on the red carpet, and asked about her rumored collaboration with Lady Gaga.

Yeah, I worked on a song for her. I don’t know if it will make her record. I hope it will make her record, but we’ll wait and see.

Gaga’s upcoming album, ARTPOP, doesn’t even have an official release date yet, so no word on when we might get to hear even a snippet of the duet.

Are you guys excited to hear what a Gaga and Azealia track could possibly sound like? Post your thoughts!
