January 15: American Music Awards Score Lowest Ratings Ever
The show did manage to stir up a bit of controversy though, despite rapper Eminem's absenteeism. Comedian Kathy Griffin griped to AP Radio about American Idol host Ryan Seacrest's decision to expose her black lace bra.
While they were announcing the Fan's Choice Award winner, Griffin pretended to read an e-mail that asked her to flash the audience. Seacrest then reached over and unbuttoned her blouse--a bit that Griffin told reporters backstage wasn't scripted.
"Ryan Seacrest physically assaulted me on stage. Follow me to the precinct, he's going down," she told AP Radio. "Look, maybe I did walk up the freaking stairs like Shania. But Ryan Seacrest took my top off! That would never happen to Shania."
