Sometimes the West Coast really misses out.
Not only does tape-delayed award shows 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.
For the record Lopez's rep says she is physically fine. Her ego on the other hand...
