American Music Awards: The Red Carpet w/Josh Grobin and Taylor Hicks and Katherine McPhee

Forgive the typos in advance. I can’t see a damned thing in this tent outside the Shrine Audistorium where they have put us poor press peeps. Josh Grobin is singing right now and I feel kinda special because about an hour ago I asked him a buncha stuff on the red carpet. I said, “When did you know you had this amazing voice?” He says, “Not until I was 14.” So I go, “Your parents never heard you singing in the shower or anything and notice those pipes?” He insists they did not. Anyway, he’s pretty cool, a great singer. But at the risk of sounding like his mommy, the boy’s gotta get a haircut, pronto!

So, I got placed between a People mag and US weekly reporter and they were nice to me even though I made fun of some olf their silly questions: “What are your workout secrets Carmen [Elektra]? Got some good gets though like Katherine McPhee who is, a goddess. And chatted up the dude who edged her for the American Idol crown, Taylor Hicks. He’s lost a ton of weight and has a flattering haircut and looks more than a little bit like George Clooney. He’s a real gentleman and prevented a potentially awkward moment when he ended up in the press line standing RIGHT next to Weird Al who has a song parodymocking Taylor’s song. But Taylor was a great sport and said: “How could you be mad? I’ve been listening to that guy’s music forever.”
