The red carpet is a way to publicly share your love of someone special, celeb-style. In honor of Mother’s Day and all moms, Snakkle looks back on some of the more sentimental red carpet moments, proving that moms make great arm candy.

Even today’s mega music stars where once young kids with dreams of music fame and glory. For many, they prayed and wished to Santa for the fame and recognition they now have, and many have gone on to release their own Christmas songs and albums for fans. For the holidays, Snakkle takes a fun look back at these singing sensations way back before the fame, when the stars were still just in their eyes.

It’s time for the American Music Awards and the 20012 nominees are heating up the competition with record sales and chart-topping hits. Snakkle unearthed some choice before they were stars photos of some of the nominees, can you figure out who is who?

MTV brings the summer of 2012 to a close with the live 29th annual MTV Video Music Awards on September 6 at 8/7c pm. As usual, the nominee list is a who’s who of the music industry elite with Rihanna and Drake at the front of the pack each with five “Moonman” nods.  Always a wild TV party, the VMA ceremony also actually celebrates music (which was the cornerstone of the cable channel back in the day), so expect performances by Rhianna, One Direction, Pink, Green Day and a whole lot more.

With the stars ready to belt out their songs and tear up the Staples Center in Los Angeles, Snakkle was curious about how well you know this year’s crop of nominees? We’ve assembled a visual photo feast featuring some of the biggest noms before they became global music sensations. Can you name them correctly?

Who will take home this year’s coveted surfboards at the awards show by teens, for teens? You’ll have to wait until Sunday at 8 p.m. ET (Fox) to find out. But in the meantime, get to know some of the choicest nominees—teens and non-teens alike (hey, grownups can be choice, too!).

We’re going way, way back before they were stars for this one! Beautiful babies grow up to be beautiful celebrities, so see if you can guess which celebs match up with these cute baby pics.

The 2012 Billboard Music Awards, hosted by Modern Family’s Julie Bowen and Ty Burrell, honors the best and brightest artists that grace the top of the Billboard charts throughout the year.

The Billboard Music Awards air Sunday, May 20, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC and will feature performances from Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Justin Bieber, LMFAO, The Wanted, Nelly Furtado, Usher, Linkin Park, and Chris Brown.

Wardrobe malfunctions occur daily in Tinseltown. Sure, some could easily be avoided by, say, wearing underwear, but that wouldn’t be Hollywood, would it? Start practicing your leg bombs, tape up your “ladies,” and make sure no one can see through your dress—we’re taking a walk down the red carpet.

Where do dance-party musicians come from? The tough streets of London, New York, or Los Angeles? Sometimes. In this case, they come from rock ‘n’ roll royalty: Berry Gordy. He’s the father of DJ Redfoo (Stefan Gordy) and grandfather of Sky Blu (Skyler Gordy). Both party boys grew up in Pacific Palisades, California. You can’t get any farther from the ‘hood than that, baby!
