The American Music Awards were recently on and saw former lovers Joe Jonas and Taylor Swift keep it cool when asked if they were weirded out by each others presence at the ceremony. Joe said that it was all good while Taylor just gushed about being there saying “I’m so excited to be here, I’m so excited the album went number one… to be here and to be nominated and performing. This is going to be a fun night.” There’s nothing for the country crooning sweetheart to worry about anyway. The best revenge was served when she outsold her ex’s album.

Ashley Tisdale has been spotted all over Los Angeles last week. She was seen getting some iced coffee and snacks and out with a pal working on their tans together. Ashley will next be in Australia for the premiere of ‘High School Musical 3: Senior Year’ and on November 23rd, she will be presenting an award at the American Music Awards. The show will air at 8PM ET/PT on ABC. Ashley was also recently honored on Teen Vogue’s Best Dressed List. She really is all over the place these days huh? I’m seeing more of her than I am of Vanessa Hudgens. Ashley rules!
