News Submitted By: Amanda McLean LOS ANGELES (AP) - There's a nifty post-holiday gift basket awaiting Garth, Reba, Britney, Cher and other participants in next month's American Music Awards. The $5,000 worth of goodies include an electric scooter that goes up to 14 mph, a digital camera/camcorder, a CD player, a video game system containing 76,000 games, Reebok athletic shoes, Fossil watches, an environmental waterfall and an American flag blanket. The American Music Awards duffel bags, as they are called, were assembled by Steve Stein of Hollywood Connection. The Jan. 9 show at the Shrine Auditorium will be broadcast by ABC-TV. ``Once again, I think Steve has put together the finest assemblage of gifts that we have ever been able to give to the hosts, performers and presenters of our annual show. I just hope there's one left over so I can get my own bag of goodies,'' executive producer Dick Clark said Friday. The booty goes to winners and participants, more than 50 people, including Britney Spears, Cher, Sean ``P. Diddy'' Combs, Jenny McCarthy, 'N Sync, Garth Brooks, Kid Rock, Rob Lowe, Alicia Keys, the Backstreet Boys, Luther Vandross, Lenny Kravitz, Usher, Reba McEntire and LeAnn Rimes. Brooks will receive the AMA's special Award of Merit during the show. Comment on this item. Next Item: U.S. Celebrates Bittersweet Holiday Prev Item: Get ready to Dive in for Nick and the NCOC
