There's no amount of money in the world that would make us sit through the American Music Awards (OK, that's not entirely accurate), so instead of a write-up of the snooze-fest, here's an exhaustive collection of photos. From the looks of things, Miley Cyrus once again made the entire event all about her (and her 16th birthday, which she's been celebrating for the past few months). Surprise, surprise.

Those damned lesbian rumors continue to dog Queen Latifah. Or could they be true?
It depends on whether you believe the National Enquirer - or The View - which claims the rap star, who avoids answering sexually-related questions, plans to wed her long-time lesbian love, Jeannette Jenkins.

Last evening marked the 59th Annual Emmy Awards (which I've heard were unyieldingly boring). Although they remain one of the least merit-based awards in history, the Emmys are one of the sharpest, and that should count for something.
After the jump, the gowns! Oh, the gowns!

I don't know, black power fundamentalists, sometimes shit like this looks pretty good. If it's any consolation, Whitey still spends millions getting dark.

Queen Latifah celebrated her 37th birthday in Hawaii this weekend by being tame on the beach with older white gents in sensible reading glasses. I really hope that's her boyfriend, and that life is imitating art, but I highly doubt it.
If they are dating, they probably throw amazing dinner parties that include intelligent discussions about hip hop and politics with a refreshing matter-of-factness.

Queen Latifah has recently taken a stand against adopting foreign children. She says she wants to adopt 18 kids (just 'cause you can afford it doesn't mean it's a good idea, Queen), but she stresses that she'd like to adopt American children.
Queen Latifah wants to adopt 18 kids, but unlike Madonna and Angelina, she won't be leaving the country to do it.
During a revealing interview with Ellen Degeneres, her majesty said, "I want to adopt an American baby … there's just so many kids that could use a home." While Latifah says she completely understands why Americans would want to go outside the states, she would still rather "help a kid in the hood."
Good for her. American orphans are just as desperate for good homes as children born into foreign strife. I've often wondered why Angelina constantly looks out of the country when adopting, especially since foreign adoptions are more expensive and procedurally strict.
But, Queen Latifah, if you decide to go foreign, I say you look to the Bahamas. I hear there's an orphan there that is really, really, really in need of a good home and a guardian who isn't a murderous lawyer.
Was that blind enough of a blind item?
