Once the pre-telecast was over, the press room went on lockdown. Despite the fact that every year I ask to take pics and video of the arrivals on the green carpet, I have been denied twice. Instead I watched the arrivals the same way that most of you did, on a television. That’s right, I flew cross-country to watch a tv with a bunch of strangers. That being said there were two standouts on the green carpet that I want to mention.
Ivy Queen : she went really blonde this year and channeled a greek goddess in her white arrivals dress. I liked the dress. The hair, not so much.
Sofia Vergara looked beautiful in a never can fail little black dress. Now onto the actual award giving and performances.
Backstage, most of the performers said that they looooooved Ricky Martin’s opening number with the Blue Man Group. Upon hearing this, Ricky commented backstage, only slightly tongue in cheek that his performance was his fave too. I was happy to hear one of my favorite shake my culo Ricky Martin songs, la Bomba. The Blue Man Group were hilarious and a little bit creepy when they came backstage.
