Ashlee Simpson, 21, picked up best female artist and best pop video for her song, "Boyfriend."  More pictures of Jessica, Ashlee, Braxton and Russell in the gallery!

Actor/singer Russell Crowe and his band The Ordinary Fear of God

Russell Crowe, 41, tries to keep up with 2-year-old son Charlie Crowe in Wellington, New Zealand, on Sunday. The proud papa – who’ll be a dad for the second time when wife Danielle Spencer, 35, gives birth this summer – was in his hometown over the weekend performing with his new band, The Ordinary Fear of God.  It’s recently been reported that all the New Zealand venues that were sites of concerts by Russell Crowe could face fines if he smoked on stage. It is already known that Crowe violated New Zealand’s Smoke-free Environment Act by lighting up at Wellington’s Ilott Theatre and Auckland’s SkyCity.  More pictures in the gallery!
