(As Ryan put it, "not since the Sanjaya ponyhawk have we seen such a transformation.") Diddy was the musical mentor with Tommy Hilfiger on wardrobe. Much to Tommy's chagrin, Phillip Phillips wore gray, again, and Diddy was confused about Read more

After giving a very teary speech on stage, Spencer dried her eyes and cracked jokes back in the press room.
