The promos for the American Music Awards promised our playlist would come alive—and it did! With 17 performances throughout the three-hour broadcast, we had our heads bobbing to the music all night, which is why we rounded up our favorite performances for you right here. Nicki Minaj, who won for Best Rap/Hip-Hop Artist and Album, wowed with a winter wonderland performance of her new single “Freedom,” No Doubt’s Gwen Stefani epitomized her new song “Looking Hot” with an Emilio Pucci crystal-embellished houndstooth jacket, and Korean pop sensation Psy shocked the audience when he brought out special guest MC Hammer for a “2 Legit 2 Quit” and “Gangham Style” dance mash-up to close the show. “With Psy I knew right away that he’s a good guy,” MC Hammer told reporters after the performance. “I told him dance has only moved the planet four times. James Brown with his dance shifted the planet. Michael Jackson with his dance shifted the planet. Yours truly, Hammertime, shifted the planet. And now Psy shifted the planet. So, to be with somebody who shifted the planet, and have fun—I loved doing it and we had a great time together.” Click through to see all our favorite performances!

With Halloween upon us, we caught up with Mr. Bones Pumpkin Patch in West Hollywood, CA, to get more information about the celebrity destination. Famous moms—including Gwen Stefani, Heidi Klum, Jessica Alba (above right), and Christina Aguilera—flock to the spook-filled patch, which is loaded with festive activities like pony rides, petting zoos, straw mazes, and more! Then, of course, there are the pumpkins. Mr. Bones suggests forgoing the traditional perfectly round orange variety in favor of odd shapes, alternative colors (like white or gray), and unique textures for a ghoulish jack-o’-lantern. The star-adored patch also told InStyle.com to “Think stems! A beautiful stem makes a gorgeous pumpkin. If it has curlicues and leaves still attached snatch it up as fast as you can—these are rare gems.” Another great gourd tip: “Broken stem? No worries,” Mr. Bones assured us. “Make a wicked scary pumpkin by using the stem for a crooked jack-o’-lantern nose. S-P-O-O-K-Y!” Get carving before it’s too late, and click through the gallery below to see which other stars were spotted in the pumpkin patch!
