If the nominations are anything to go by, we could be in for one interesting AMAs red carpet.
Leading the list, announced yesterday morning in Los Angeles, are Katy Perry, Ke$ha and Lady Gaga, who invariably make bold style statements.
Fashion entrepreneur, Whitney Port (though not by any stretch of the imagination a musical talent) will also feature as host of the red-carpet pre-show on USTREAM.tv. The live broadcast of the Awards takes place at the NOKIA Theatre L.A. LIVE on SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 21 (8:00-11:00 p.m., ET/PT) on ABC.
