1. Kendall Jenner Flubs Boy Band Introduction

What would Adele Dazeem do? Kendall Jenner flubbed her introduction of boy band 5 Seconds of Summer at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards. "And now we welcome…ONE…." Jenner, 18, said, perhaps thinking of One Direction or One Republic. The model, embarrassed and flustered, began to flush in front of the crowd and said, "'Guys, I'm the worst reader."

The awkward, painful moment was quickly amended with a smile from Jenner as the band took to the stage. 5 Seconds of Summer, for their part, overlooked Jenner's introduction by thanking Billboard for giving them air time. "THAT WAS EPIC," the pop group tweeted. "Thankyou Billboard for letting us perform 'She Looks So Perfect'!"

The singer first accepted the award for Best R&B Hit and gushed about Patton "for putting up with me for all these years." He later returned to perform his new single — written for his ex-wife — "Get Her Back."
