We have to admit, compiling a best moments for awards show can sometimes be tedious, but the 43rd annual American Music Awards made the task a breeze. In a span of three hours we were shocked, we saw people cry, we heard great songs and we partied to some amazing dance numbers.

The show offered a lot of memorable moments —from sultry dance numbers that left you twerking in front of your television to a WTF make-out session that had many of us confused.

Plus, Jennifer Lopez was on point as this year’s host with all of her wardrobe changes and epic show opening. Seriously, a lot happened last night, so in case you missed the live telecast here are the best and worst moments that made the evening, from Nick Jonas throwing a solo coming-out party to Miss Piggy throwing a teapot.

Joe Jonas and Charlie Puth made an appearance on “Good Morning America” to announce this years American Music Awards nominations.

After the year Taylor Swift has had since her release of “1989,” it’s no surprise that she lead the pack with 6 nominations, including Artist of the Year and Song of the Year. Ed Sheeran and The Weeknd follow with 5 nominations each. Both will rival Swift for Artist and Song of the Year.

American Music Awards nominations are determined by album and digital sales, radio, streaming, social activity and touring data tracked by Billboard, Nielsen Entertainment and Next Big Sound. But, winners are decided by the fans. Fans can vote on the AMA website, as well as by mentioning the artist of choice with a hashtag of the category (and #AMAs) on Facebook and Twitter.

The American Music Awards, hosted by Jennifer Lopez, will air live on Sunday, November 22nd at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

Pitch Perfect 2

After all the hype leading up to (and the plethora of headlines that came immediately following) the two hour series premiere of “Scream Queens,” it’s safe to say that Ryan Murphy has done it again. And by done it again we either mean incredibly offended a bunch of people or has everyone talking about how clever he is, you can take your pick.

While we will say that we were thoroughly entertained by the hysterically gory slasher film homage that is “Scream Queens,” we’re not here to rehash what happened in the premiere episode –or to discuss whether or not Murphy is a racist. We’re here to go over all the fantastically witty and bitchy quotes from the pilot.

Love it or hate it, “Scream Queens” was stock full of devilishly insane, rude, and completely memorable quotes that will be stuck in our heads for weeks. Seriously, these lines are on par with “Heathers” –which we’re sure is no coincidence considering how many times the show has already been compared to said film.

1. “Historically short people are sneaky backstabbers —like Napoleon or Paul Scaffer.” – Chanel

2. “I do sort of love you, but I would love you a lot more if other people loved you too.” -Chad

3. “Shandell, why you gotta knife through your throat?” – Denise

4. “You don’t get STDs from blood oaths, you get STDs from dirty toilet seats and drinking the water in Mexico.” – Chanel
5. “I didn’t even know I was pregnant, I thought I was having a bread baby” -Sorority Girl from the 90s

6. “Private, like the parts of a man that you like to put in your mouth?” -Boone

7. “Now make me look like Jada Pinkett Smith” -Melanie

8. “You’re awful” -Dean Munsch “Maybe, but I’m rich and I’m pretty, so it doesn’t really matter.” – Chanel

9. “I call it the Nancy Meyers experience because when you burn it, it smells like creamy couches and menopause. You know like a Nancy Meyers movie. Four stars!” – Breezy

10. “I just think you are amazing Chad. Anyone you dated would be popular. I mean, they would be popular because they’re dating you.” -Chanel

11. “Like yes I could find a random girl who wasn’t popular and yes if I started dating her she would then become popular… dude that is a great idea for a movie. Somebody should make that movie. I wanna see that movie” – Chad
“Me too. You know who should direct that movie, Michael Bay, the greatest director of all time.” – Boone

12. “We’re just trying to have a nice day, hitting golf balls at hippies” -Chad

13. “Shut up! You don’t die from getting your face burned off” – Chanel
“Yes you do!” -Zayday

14. “No one forced that goat to get as drunk as he did. That’s on him.”“We’re having a side-boob mixer followed by a white party where everyone in attendance is actually white.”

The MTV Video Music Awards are known for not only some crazy on-stage moments, but for the outrageous fashion on the red carpet. Celebrities forgo any and all fashion rules to make statements or to simply grab some headlines. Miley Cyrus turned heads in a silver barely there number, while Nick Jonas made us sweat (not in a good way) while draped in head to toe leather. Still, some stars managed to turn heads for their impressive style.

Check out our favorite, and not so favorite, red carpet looks.

Rosemary’s Pick: Kourtney Kardashian. With all the outrageous outfits on the red carpet, it was no easy feat to stand out in a simple bright coral jumpsuit, but Kourtney managed to pull it off. Kourtney paired the outfit with gold jewels, heels and a matching clutch. The eldest of the Kardashian sisters wore her dark hair straight and sleek giving her a sexy sophisticated look. No doubt about it, Kourtney dropped jaws as she stepped out in the Balmain number. (Also, thank you for giving short girls everywhere hope for rocking a jumpsuit!)

Frances’ Pick: Nicki Minaj. Nicki is known for her crazy red carpet outfits, especially for award shows like the VMA’s, but she kept things a little more low key in a metallic gold sheer dress by Labourjoisie. Don’t get me wrong, she was showing a lot of skin, but the pearl accents and perfectly placed cutouts made the outfit look more sophisticated versus flashy. Her perfectly contoured face makeup, winged eyeliner and blunt bangs hairstyle gave her a gorgeous natural makeup look that completed the ensemble.

Shortly after Miley Cyrus announced she would be hosting the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards, nominations were revealed.

Fuck yeah VMAs!!!!! #VMAs on @MTV Aug 30 at 9pm

Leading the pack of nominees is Taylor Swift, with nine noms to her name. Taylor can credit “Bad Blood” for seven nominations (Video of the Year among those), and two for “Blank Space” (Best Female Video and Best Pop Video). Going up against Taylor for Video of the Year is her pal Ed Sheeran for “Thinking Out Loud,” which earned him another 3 nominations. His video for “Don’t” gave him another 2, for a total of 6 nominations for the Brit. Fellow British songwriter James Bay is nominated for “Artist to Watch.” But Ed Sheeran’s pals in One Direction were noticeably snubbed again this year, despite having videos for “Steal My Girl” and “Night Changes.”

While Nicki Minaj’s “Anaconda” received nominations for Best Female Video and Best Hip Hop Video, Nicki was snubbed in the Video of the Year category. Additionally, “Feeling Myself,” her video with Beyonce received zero love. Nicki let out her frustration in a series of tweets:

While no names were named, it seemed as though Nicki Minaj might have been referencing Taylor Swift, and perhaps would even pull a Kanye if she won?

Taylor Swift surprisingly didn’t stay quiet on the matter, but Nicki insisted it had nothing to do with Taylor personally.

Drama already and the VMA’s don’t even take place until August 30, 2015.

It’s official, the Jonas brothers have called it quits, for now. The band cancelled their tour three weeks ago due to a “deep rift” in the band. Since then, the guys have stayed quiet, other than some tweets from Nick and Joe. Nick tweeted on October 22, “Bear with us,” while Joe was a little more honest with “Please hold while we get our shit together.”

The Jonas Brothers talked to PEOPLE Magazine about the split. The oldest, Kevin said, “It’s over for now.” Meanwhile, Nick left some hope for JoBro fans, “It’s really hard to say ‘forever.’ We’re closing a chapter, for sure.” Joe admits it was a “unanimous decision.” Nick felt some concerns for the future of the band and “was feeling kind of trapped.” Nick said, “I needed to share my heart with my brothers.”

The future of the band’s fifth studio album, “V”, has not been determined. While no release date was given, it was assumed the album, featuring the two released singles “Pom Poms” and “First Time,” would be out in Fall 2013. No word on whether or not the album will see the light.

The Jonas Brothers have cancelled their up and coming tour, just two days before it was set to kick-off. The reason? A “deep rift within the band,” according to their spokesman, Jesse Derris, who spoke with PEOPLE magazine.

Derris stated that the disagreement was “over their music direction.” While ticket holders will be refunded, their rep says the future of the band “remains to be seen.” While the guys have all ventured off to do their own things- Nick and Joe with solo albums, and Kevin with his reality television show “Married to Jonas,” it doesn’t seem likely their will be a “break up.” Perhaps the brothers want to take some time to perfect their highly anticipated next album?

Do you think the brothers will break up?

The Jonas Brothers ended their summer tour this past Friday (August 16) at the Gibson Amphitheater in Los Angeles. After a three year hiatus as the Jonas Brothers, the trio came back and showed an older, edgier version of themselves, suited for both their pre-teen era fans and their of-age admirers.

The Jonas Brothers, having started with Disney, have always teetered between boy band and just a band of guys. While, yes, the band has always had catchy pop hits, the brothers proved to be real musicians with their songwriting, instrument playing, and lack of choreographed dance moves. The batch of new songs only further proved they are more than just a pop boy band.

As the lights turned off to indicate that the brothers were about to hit the stage shrieks of girls in their teens and early twenties filled the room. There were more guys and less parents than in 2008, what seemed to be the peak of JoBro fandom, but the volume in the room was closely reminiscent of that era. Nick Jonas, 20, appeared on stage with a guitar, and screams intensified as the audience realized that Joe, 24, and Kevin, 25, were running through the aisles to make their way to the stage. The brothers opened with their latest single “First Time,” from their soon to be released album “V.” The fans adoration was clear, as they sang along to every word, and continued to do so throughout the set.

The show consisted of a good mix of songs from all four of their released albums, and new songs from their soon to be released album. The brothers did an impressive cover of Frank Ocean’s “Thinkin About You.” At one point, Nick told the crowd they had received “a lot of requests” for a song only fans from the beginning would know, “Take a Breath.” But the band also performed fan favorite, “Burning Up,” which featured a skyped in rap from Big Rob.

The set also included songs from Nick and Joe’s solo ventures. The song “Stay,” which Nick wrote with his band Nick Jonas & the Administration, provided lots of squeals from girls (and women) as he showed off his perfected falsettos (and his muscular arms with tattoos as he took off his jacket).

The new songs showcased a more mature Jonas Brothers. Perhaps their departure from Hollywood Records allowed them more freedom, or perhaps the trio have simply grown up? One thing was certain: The Jonas Brothers seemed more confident, and perhaps more free in their performance and their chance to experiment. Their last album, “Lines,

Vines, and Trying Times,” had some songs which seemed to experiment with others genres, like jazz and country, but the new songs from “V” continued the experimentation forward. Their song “Found” had a jazz-style influence with trumpets and a piano. But the most impressive of the new songs was one titled “What do I Mean to You?” which had a harder, edgier, rock sound, which I previously thought would be impossible to associate with any Jonas Brothers song.

In the past, the Jonas Brothers have used elaborate stage set-ups with lights, costume changes, fire, confetti, lights, and whatever else, to put on an entertaining show. This time around, the band relied on their large catalog of songs, a simple stage set-up where they had to rely solely on the music to put on a good show. They managed to do so. The three brothers stood center stage, with their large backing band standing behind, and that was more than enough for the crowd to maintain their fervor throughout their lengthy set. As the boys ended the show with their encore of “Love Bug” and “SOS,” they alluded to the fact that they would be back on tour in October. Perhaps we should expect an album to be released around the same time?

1. First Time

After lots and lots of teasers, the Jonas Brothers released their latest single and music video, “Pom Poms.” Almost 4 years went by with no new music from the trio. (Their last album “Lines, Vines, and Trying Times” was released in June 2009). The song, which features lots of trumpets and a drum line, is a mixture of fun, silly-ness, and catchy lyrics. While some fans may say that the lyrics are kind of interesting (“want you like a kid just wants a milkshake”), the song seems perfectly made for top 40. The sexual innuendos are hard to ignore, which shows that the Jo Bros, like most Disney kids, are trying to break out of their Disney mold. Whether or not the song will be a hit, we’ll see. (But it’s interesting to note that the song has not made it to number 1 on US iTunes charts).

Check out the video below. What do you think of “Pom Poms”?

This Wednesday begins the Judge’s House round on X Factor, which determines the contestants who will move on to the live shows. Each judge will be given a category (ages, groups, solo artists, etc), and will mentor those contestants for the remainder of the competition. Before mentoring, each judge and the guest mentor get to decide who moves on from the judge’s house onto the shows. Justin Beiber teamed up with LA Reid, Marc Anthony with Simon Cowell, Nick Jonas with Demi Lovato, and will.I.am with Britney Spears.
