THE BLACK EYED PEAS WINS AN AWARD THEN LOSES IT!

Someone phunked with the Black Eyed Peas' heart today.
At France's NRJ awards, the country's top music awards show, the band were incorrectly announced winners of best international group.

Sexy singer Ke$ha and French choreographer Kamel Ouali initially named Fergie's band the victors, but no one stepped on stage to pick it up.

In fact, the German band Tokio Hotel had won.

The presenters got a little red in the face when they realized their error. Ouali apologized and the crowd booed as he explained that he had been confused by the fact that the card listed the other nominees as well as the winners.

A man who appeared to be the host of the show said: "It happens!"

Ouali told the audience they had a reason to be mad but that the NRJ folks should have only included the names of the winners.

The Peas ultimately won what could be deemed a consolation prize. They were given the award for best international song for "I Gotta Feeling" off 2009's "The E.N.D." album.

Meanwhile at the same ceremony, Rihanna took a little tumble after her performance of "Russian Roulette."

The songstress fell off a platform at the back of the stage but brushed it off like the professional she is. Please don't stop the music, indeed.

NRJ has a history of making embarassing mistakes. Just last year, Katy Perry accepted the award for best international song, which was supposed to go to Rihanna.
