The Michael Jackson Hologram Performed at the "Billboard Music Awards" Last Night
The MICHAEL JACKSON hologram performed last night at the "Billboard Music Awards". Meanwhile, KENDALL JENNER totally botched an intro for the band 5 SECONDS OF SUMMER, and JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE was the big winner, taking home seven trophies.
Check out video here. Skip to 1:30 to avoid a cheesy intro where Ludacris, Kesha and Brad Paisley hype their upcoming singing competition show.)
The other "highlight" of the show was KENDALL JENNER introducing the band 5 SECONDS OF SUMMER . . . and totally BOTCHING IT.
Like the total NON-PRO she is, instead of soldiering past her screw-up, she basically stopped everything to inform America, quote, "Guys, I'm the worst reader."
She later Tweeted, quote, "Anndddd as if I wasn't nervous already!!! #NeverLeavinMyContactsAtHomeAgain! #LOL #LessonLearned."
It was really embarrassing, and really drove home the point that people in the legit, non-reality showbiz industry have to stop hiring these Kardashian / Jenner girls, because they HAVE NO TALENT. (Check it out here.)
Meanwhile, MILEY CYRUS performed "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" with the FLAMING LIPS . . . but it was via satellite, since she's on tour. KATY PERRY did the same for her song "Birthday".
ROBIN THICKE made TWO plays for his estranged wife PAULA PATTON. While accepting the award for Top R&B Song, he said, quote, "I'd like to thank my wife for her love and support and for putting up with me for all these years."
As for the actual awards, JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE was the big winner, with SEVEN trophies. He wasn't there because he's on tour, but he accepted some awards via satellite.
And in one of his speeches he had a CLASSIC line . . . quote, "It's not a competition, but if it was, I won. And I'm okay with that." He also thanked everyone in the world EXCEPT DONALD STERLING.
Imagine Dragons won five awards, followed by Pharrell, Robin Thicke and T.I., who took home four each.

48-Year-Old Robin Wright Isn't Getting a Face Lift
48-year-old ROBIN WRIGHT wants to age naturally. But just a few years ago, when the show "House of Cards" was pitched to her, she struggled with whether or not to get some work done.
She says, quote, "I was sitting there going, 'You're 45, and you're not gonna get a face-lift.' And I was really considering that stuff, because in Hollywood the pressure's there.
"You better lift that face and pump those lips and hike those boobs! And I was like, 'I don't want to do that. I'm going to get older. I'm going to have wrinkles!'"
Cameron Diaz . . . Is Benji Madden Hittin' That?
CAMERON DIAZ might be sharing her not-necessarily-shaved fun stuff with GOOD CHARLOTTE guitarist BENJI MADDEN. A source says, quote, "They've spent a lot of time at Cameron's house. He is the nicest guy and treats her like a lady."
