Music's hottest stars were in the house for the 2008 American Music Awards!

New mom Christina Aguilera looked stunning during the show's opening number, and Beyoncé's gyrating "Single Ladies" hit had everyone, including Queen Latifah, dancing in the aisles!

Mariah Carey looked stunning in a beautiful, curve-hugging ball gown, and 18-year-old Taylor Swift was a first-time AMA winner.

R&B singer Chris Brown and his lovely lady Rihanna took home five statues in total.  But it was Rihanna's sexy outfit, a leather biker look with a silver eye patch that had everyone talking.

And after a rousing intro by her dad Billy Ray, Miley Cyrus rocked the house, and then topped it off with a star-studded birthday tribute, complete with a giant cake.

INSIDE EDITION's Lisa Guerrero caught up with Billy Ray and asked him what he was getting his daughter for her sixteenth birthday.

"She wants some studio gear and some stuff so she can record her music and albums," Billy Ray said.

The Jonas Brothers had fans screaming, but there was an awkward moment when the brothers were accepting their award for Breakthrough Artists of the Year...a stagehand mistakenly walked on stage behind them!

Alicia Keys and Queen Latifah were the final performance of the night, but nothing could top Beyoncé's show-stopping performance!
