Music Awards Show Has Goodies Galore
By The Associated Press,
LOS ANGELES (AP) - There's a nifty post-holiday gift basket
awaiting Garth, Reba, Britney, Cher and other participants in next
month's American Music Awards.
The $5,000 worth of goodies include an electric scooter that
goes up to 14 mph, a digital camera/camcorder, a CD player, a video
game system containing 76,000 games, Reebok athletic shoes, Fossil
watches, an environmental waterfall and an American flag blanket.
The American Music Awards duffel bags, as they are called, were
assembled by Steve Stein of Hollywood Connection. The Jan. 9 show
at the Shrine Auditorium will be broadcast by ABC-TV.
``Once again, I think Steve has put together the finest
assemblage of gifts that we have ever been able to give to the
hosts, performers and presenters of our annual show. I just hope
there's one left over so I can get my own bag of goodies,''
executive producer Dick Clark said Friday.
The booty goes to winners and participants, more than 50 people,
including Britney Spears, Cher, Sean ``P. Diddy'' Combs, Jenny
McCarthy, 'N Sync (news - web sites), Garth Brooks, Kid Rock, Rob Lowe, Alicia Keys,
the Backstreet Boys (news - web sites), Luther Vandross, Lenny Kravitz, Usher, Reba
McEntire and LeAnn Rimes.
Brooks will receive the AMA's special Award of Merit during the
show.
