The American Music Awards rocked the house Sunday Nov. 24, at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. The first ever AMA Icon award was presented to singer Rihanna, by her mother, Monica Barithwaite.

Miley Cyrus performed yet another memorable performance, singing her latest hit single “Wrecking Ball,” while sporting a cat covered two piece outfit and was accompanied by a singing cat projected on the screen behind her.
