American Music Awards Part 1

RJ here, and usually you see me at all the hottest red carpet events. But this time, I'm going to give you some real access. I'm talking about VIP access. We're going to take you backstage at a major award show, talking about the thing on everybody's mind, the $30,000 gift bag. We're going to talk to the hottest stars of music, including Ja Rule, Ashanti, B2K, Willie Nelson, Rob Thomas, and Nickelback. And we're also going to bring along our own little goody bag, the booty call bag. We'll be at the rehearsals, we'll be shopping in the gift bag room, all this with all your favorite celebs. So get ready because you're going to get an exclusive tour backstage, only on VIP Access. Unlike these people, we're not gonna be outside. See, we got the exclusive, we're going inside. You're going to the gift bag room, you're going to the massage room, you're going to the dressing rooms, the makeup room, everywhere. Wait till you see what this is about. Now, talk about VIP access when all the presenters and all the performers are done doing their thing on stage, they're gonna come through these doors right here, and they're gonna come talk to us. You know we're going to hear some crazy stuff.

Did you get your gift bag yet?

No, what's in there? I'm not even tell you what's in it, but it's crazy. Just ask for the booty call bag.

The booty call bag, you get that?

The booty call bag.

Yeah, I don't know when I'm going to get to use it. I mean, we're with Ja Rule yesterday in the room. It's got anything good?

Sure you want to know or you want to see for yourself?

You know, I'm trying to grow up a little bit before I get into the booty call.

you'll figure it out, player.

I'll figure it out. I don't maybe actually shouldn't tell me on the camera.

You got lube, you got a hair comb, toothpaste, condoms, lube, booty call music. You enjoy that, don't you? Calvin Klein underwear. And open it up. The movie pretation, I would guess.

Oh! That you might like, yeah. You see, that's that's not that type work don't last long.

Honestly, I didn't even go through it. I didn't get the gift bag. This is supposed to mail it to me, but I heard wonderful things. I heard they gave a bed out.

I don't know what to tell you, man. I really you need to take your ass home. You you got a job.

We are backstage at the American Music Awards. Let's walk around and see what we can find. You know how you're at these award shows and it's like on every single radio station at the same time? We're gonna give you the inside scoop on how it gets done. See every single celebrity that's involved in the show is going to come in here where they're going to do all the live radio interviews. Now, you know, we love doing stuff we're not allowed to do. Look at this one. Do not take the step for Christina Aguilera. Guess what we're gonna do. Shh. Don't tell anybody. We're here backstage with B2K.

Where are you gonna be for the after party? That's what we want to know. Uh, you going to Nelly's party or where's the hot spot tonight? B2K: Oh it is. They got some hot spots. I don't know about nothing. I think we're going to be home in our beds.

Aw, come on now. But how about the gift baskets here? Did you guys get your bag already? B2K: No, actually, we was up in there, but we have to go and, you know. We have to go back over there right now and finish.

You gotta get back in there.

Now, to me, this is the coolest part about the AMAs. We are about to take you into the celebrity gift bag room. You are not going to believe the kind of stuff they have in here. But before you can get in, you gotta get through this guy.

All right, so what's it going to take for us to get in?

You either gotta be a celebrity or a presenter.
