Just as John Kerry predicted, his daughter's DUI charge has disappeared. But prosecutors say it's business as usual.

The Los Angeles City Attorney's office confirmed to E! News today that actress-filmmaker Alexandra Forbes Kerry won't be facing a misdemeanor charge following her arrest last week.

"Our prosecutors had an opportunity to review the report that was sent to us and felt there was insufficient evidence to warrant the filing of charges," spokesman Frank Mateljan said, noting that  the 36-year-old registered .06 on a Breathalyzer test—a smidge under California's legal limit of .08.

He also dismissed any speculation of favoritism, saying that prosecutors traditionally decline to move forward with such borderline cases.

After she was pulled over Thursday, her ever diplomatic dad released a statement noting Alexandra was under the limit and expressing his full support for her.

Last night's AMAs were not only about tripping all over yourself, they were also about bad fashion. Yay, our favorite!

Nicole Kidman continues to underwhelm us in another pastel, ruffled, tiered dress, this time by Balenciaga. Meanwhile, Jennifer Lopez went with too much matchy-matchy white in head-to-toe Gucci. We will say it's nice to see her smile and not doing that sex face she usually makes.  

A couple of question regarding Kristen Bell. What is she doing there? And is that really a tube top with a high-waisted skirt? OK, cool, just wanted to make sure we were seeing things right because...ew!

Kate Hudson was there to pimp Nine (you know, the movie where she sings) in a vintage Gianni Versace chainmail dress that was not only totally shapeless but was on the verge of exposing some nipple...

At this point, there's almost nothing we don't already know about Jon and Kate Gosselin.

He likes Ed Hardy, ticking every box off the midlife crisis checklist and demanding privacy from the paparazzi, unless of course they want to patronize his lemonade stand or capture him bringing flowers to his ex-wife. His dislikes include spell-check and Nancy Grace.

She, on the other hand, enjoys employing ghost writers to pen cookbooks on organic food, berating her personality-challenged husband and recouping hundreds of thousands of dollars that were rightfully hers to begin with. She's not such a fan of anything less than industrial-strength pomade.

This much we know.

But TLC is reminding us of a few other Gosselin truths that have gotten lost along the way in the torn-apart family's reality swan song, as Jon & Kate Plus 8 comes to its confessional- and montage-filled series end tonight.

Like, no matter how heinous you think their parents are—and at this point it is just a matter of degrees—those Plus 8 are downright adorable (and, lest we forget, the reason viewers flocked in the first place).

The guy who allegedly went to great lengths to show the world what ESPN's Erin Andrews looks like naked ain't going away quietly.

No. 1 Fan Michael David Barrett pleaded not guilty in Los Angeles this morning to a federal charge of interstate stalking. The charge carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison.

The trial is scheduled for Jan. 12 before United States District Judge Manuel Real, U.S. Attorney spokesman Thom Mrozek confirms to E! News.

Last week, evidence was submitted claiming that the 47-year-old Illinois man followed the sports announcer to Columbus, Ohio, and Milwaukee and Nashville, where he allegedly shot his peephole video.

All right, so we all saw New Moon at least twice this past weekend, right? (If only we had all seen it three times...) And it was pretty awesome or fun or terrible or whatever depending on your fandom level!

But it's really time we move on and reset our Twilight countdown for Eclipse. Today makes it about seven months and a week until our favorite gang of moody teenagers bring their tortured love triangle back to the big screen.

For now, all we've got is this new Eclipse poster, which hints that the third installment will be pretty cloudy. Ahhhhh! Cannot wait!

Sometimes the West Coast really misses out.

Not only does a tape-delayed award show mean Pacific zoners have to avoid Twitter for a few hours, but they also might miss the highlight of the event.

Last night's American Music Awards was no exception. Jennifer Lopez's much mocked giggled LOLed discussed live trip over her "Louboutins" was edited from the version of the show that aired later.

But the network insists this was not because of any sort of diva maneuvering.

"Due to the live nature of the show, we did not expect the impromptu moment in question," stated ABC, Dick Clark Productions executives and AMA show producers. "Regarding Jennifer Lopez, execs and producers felt it was respectful to Ms. Lopez to edit the mishap for later time zones."

What a bunch of fuddy-duddies! Out of respect for the people tuning in, they should have kept the "live" show as-is.

Even without the little dose of schadenfreude on the Left Coast, the AMAs telecast surged to its biggest ratings since 2002, with an estimated 14.2 million viewers.

For the record, Lopez's rep says she is physically fine. Her ego, on the other hand...

"Yeah, I meant to do that...That was part of the choreography," she joked with Ryan Seacrest this morning. "Look, the measure of things is not what happens when you fall, it's how you handle when you fall."

Adam Lambert is fully embracing his new solo career—as well as his keyboard player, too.

The American Idol runner-up gave the final performance at the 2009 American Music Awards, and he delivered much of what earlier outings by Janet Jackson, Carrie Underwood, Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, Lady Gaga and others had: lots of back-up dancers, a stumble or two and just a bit of raunchiness.

OK, in Lambert's case, there was more than a bit of racy material as he mixed together a so-so song, some S&M imagery and a bit of simulated sex. Oh, and that juicy midsong kiss, too.

For your entertainment, of course. Was it enough to make his performance the best of the evening?

What was your favorite moment during the show? Check out our 2009 American Music Awards gallery for the highlights.
