In this week's Billboard cover story Ludacris & Chrissy Teigen, hosts of this years' Billboard Music Awards on May 17th, talk about their awards show experiences including celebrity encounters, pregame rituals and red carpet gaffes. As Teigen promises, "We are turning the Billboard Music Awards into a party!"
On their most memorable celebrity encounter:
Teigen: "John [Legend] and I run into so many different people, but my favorite is when we get to run into Beyoncé. She's the only person on the planet who I just completely shut down around. John does it as kind of a joke now. He'll be like, "Can you come say hi?" I think he likes to see me completely weak."
Ludacris: "One that blew me away was Janet Jackson. I grew up on her music, so it was pretty dope running into her."
Who the most random person Ludacris sat next to at an award show:
"Probably Wayne Newton. I tried to get his contact information because he has the key to the whole damn Las Vegas city. So if I ever go to jail in Vegas, I can call Wayne Newton."
When asked if she has ever been drunk at an award show before, Chrissy responded simply:
"Yes. All of them. Honestly."
Teigen's advice for Meghan Trainer:
"I love Meghan to death -- I don't want anyone to get nervous out there. Especially for the Billboard Music Awards. So I'd say, have a good time and take a few deep breaths and meet Luda and me in the back for a tequila."
