Miguel's onstage tumble at Sunday's Billboard Music Awards just goes to show that live performances can sometimes take a dangerous turn. Almost every big musician has had some sort of physical mishap on stage, be it because of a fan, a faulty piece of equipment, or simply a slippery sole. And it isn't just the stars themselves who can get hurt — sometimes fans and spectators get injured in the process. Click through to see the biggest onstage fumbles, from Beyoncé to Justin Bieber.
Last night's 2012 Tony Awards celebrated the year's best of Broadway. Neil Patrick Harris emceed the show and caught up with his fiancé, David Burtka, afterward. Honors were handed out to big winners like Once and Peter and the Starcatcher, which netted eight and five Tonys, respectively. Andrew Garfield and Phillip Seymour Hoffman were passed over in their best actor categories, but their Death of a Salesman director, Mike Nichols, won his ninth Tony for directing. The production also won best revival. Other statues went to best actress in a musical Audra McDonald for The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess and best leading actress in a play, Venus and Fur's Nina Arianda. Best actor in a musical went to Once's Steve Kazee, and the corresponding actor in a play prize was handed to James Corden for One Man, Two Guvnors. It was a star-studded night with appearances from Jessica Chastain, James Marsden, Amanda Seyfried, and Hugh Jackman. Hugh was actually a winner and received a Special Tony Award from wife Deborra-Lee Furness. Andrew might not have gone home with gold, but he was still able to mark the evening with girlfriend Emma Stone.
Emma Stone supported Andrew Garfield at the 2012 Tony Awards Sunday night in NYC. The on- and offscreen pair were just one of the couples who turned the evening into date night. In addition to Andrew and Emma, see Hugh Jackman's sweet moment with his wife in today's PopSugar Rush.
Last night's 66th annual Tony Awards drew out the stars of the stage — and a crowd of glamorous attendees to honor a year of great theater. Among the night's standouts we noticed something of an emerging trend — three of our favorites suited up in gorgeous embellished confections, albeit in totally different ways. Jessica Chastain glowed in a nude Marios Schwab sheath, embellished with Swarovski crystals and finished with metallic Giuseppe Zanotti ankle-strap heels. Sheryl Crow (looking completely ageless!) arrived in a floor-length navy Marchesa gown, with an embellished illusion bodice and Jennifer Fisher jewels, while Amanda Seyfried showed off a more colorful lace Givenchy slip dress with gilded accents and bold tangerine-hued accessories. She finished it off with a sexy pair of Givenchy stilettos and Fred Leighton jewelry. Now we're putting it to you — which of the evening's embellished looks gets your vote for best dressed?
It's a big evening for stage actors and theater fans, thanks to the Tony Awards in NYC. There were plenty of fashionable ladies on the red carpet, including a Marios Schwab-clad Jessica Chastain and Amanda Seyfried in edgy Givenchy. Jessica was one of the evening's presenters and was especially excited to snap a picture with Broadway legend Bernadette Peters. Hugh Jackman and his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, smiled for the cameras, as did a long list of leading men like Paul Rudd, James Marsden, and Matthew Morrison. Andrew Garfield attended without his girlfriend, Emma Stone. He was up for the best actor in a feature role Tony for his work in Death of a Salesman, but lost the statue to Peter and the Starcatcher's Christian Borle. Death of a Salesman did, though, win for best revival of a play.
It was a spirited and star-studded Tony Awards ceremony on Sunday night and Broadway would have it no other way. Elton John, Liza Minnelli, Dolly Parton and more (including, of course, this year's host, Neil Patrick Harris), all came out for the theatrical awards show. By far the majority of the honors went to Billy Elliot, the Musical, while the comedic play God of Carnage and the musical Next to Normal also did quite well. Angela Lansbury was lauded for her performance in Blithe Spirit while Marcia Gay Harden took home a Tony for her God of Carnage role. There was also some love for Equus and some recognition for Shrek the Musical. To see a full list of 2009 Tony winners, read more
Okay, this bitchy pooch is my new hero. Here he is at the Tony Awards ("A who's who of who cares") insulting people up and down. Highlights? His gaydar breaks because he forgets to read the small print ("Not for use at the Tony's"). He asks one attendee who's covering her shift at The Olive Garden. And he somehow gets two septuagenarians to...well, watch the end. This is long, but it's worth it.
