Miley Cyrus pole dancing at the Teen Choice Awards

Miley Cyrus sure knows how to work a pole.

Ok, so it wasn’t exactly a stripper pole, it was some weird pole on top of some weird cart that she was dancing on while singing “Party in the USA” at this year’s Teen Choice Awards show.

Still, it’s a little creepy that she’s doing anything with a pole.. Couldn’t they have dressed it up like a palm tree or something?

_________

Yay for Sesame Street getting the Lifetime Achievement Award! Who didn’t grow up on that show?! That where I first learned to say “today” and “tomorrow” in Spanish! Oy y manana!

I am also hoping that Cash Cab picks up an Emmy, although I am not into game shows, I love that freaking show!

For a guy wearing a purity ring with absolutely no public intentions of having sex until he’s married, Nick Jonas is beating them off with a stick these days. Already confirmed to be dating Miley Cyrus, you’d think that might be good enough to ward off any other interested ladies. Well, you’d be wrong as Hannah Montana just might not have the ass to compete, as Kim Kardashian is digging on that particular one of the Brothers Jonai.

Kardashian shared the stage with the Jonas Brothers at the MuchMusic Video Awards to introduce Lady GaGa’s booby-sparking performance. After the ceremony, she was on her Twitter, hardly able to contain the excitement of being in the presence of Jonas. “I have the biggest crush on Nick Jonas! I just was on stage w the Jonas Brother at the Much Music Awards!” She tweeted more, “It’s kinda wrong! I had 2 give him 2 kisses on stage! Ha”

Does this surprise anyone though? Why would Kim Kardashian want Reggie Bush, NFL star, when she can have some kid who would be lucky if he’s even within 2 years of finally hitting puberty instead?

As for Nick Jonas’ options, I hate to say it, but Miley Cyrus doesn’t stand a chance. Unless she is ready for some crazy times, Kim Kardashian and her ass will claim victory here. After all, let’s weigh our options here: Hannah Montana and her achy-breaky dad, or a chick who got videotaped having sex and who may or may not be into getting peed on? Sorry, Miley. I know they say it’s the quiet ones that turn out to be the wildest, but I don’t know if you’re going to get much kinkier than that… at least not that doesn’t border on starting to get gross.

Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton has launched accusations that he was assaulted by Will.I.am of the Black Eyed Peas last night following the MuchMusic Video Awards. Perez took to his Twitter account to keep his followers updated on the entire situation, which makes sense, because after getting your ass kicked, calling the police should be like the furthest thing from your mind… even past having sex with Paris Hilton. Don’t judge me… I could have a concussion.

– I’m in shock. I need the police ASAP. Please come to the SoHo Metropolitan Hotel now. Please.about 5 hours ago from Sidekick
– I was assaulted by Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas and his security guards. I am bleeding. Please, I need to file a police report. No joke. — about 5 hours ago from Sidekick
– Still waiting for the police. The bleeding has stopped. I need to document this. Please, can the police come to the SoHo Met Hotel. — about 5 hours ago from Sidekick
– I spoke to my lawyer. I really need to talk to the authorities. Please come to the SoHo Met Hotel. Have called the police. Need them here. — about 5 hours ago from Sidekick
– The Toronto police are here now. Thank you. Please stop calling them. — about 5 hours ago from Sidekick
– Thank u all from the bottom of my heart for ur concern. The police are investigating the assault now. I did the right thing by reporting it. — about 3 hours ago from web

Videos were then released online from Hilton and from Will.I.am, both giving their accounts as to how the events of the evening transpired. Perez says it was Will. Will says it wasn’t him. The Black Eyed Peas manager says he did it. However, none of that really matters. What counts is that Tila Tequila has weighed in, so everyone stop what you’re doing, because she has something to say. Oh, and it came from her Twitter, which means it is that much more important…

–Ok…just got the low down from Will.I.Am….He said “Why the hell would I be doing socking Perez Hilton? Please.” there u go. The truth.”

–Why do people have to be such drama queens and lie or exaggerate?? Will.I.Am is my homie and he would never do that! Shame to blame him. SMH“

–Unless Perez is drunk N someone knocked him out N he thinks it was a Will.I.Am look-a-like. But Will has no idea what Perez is talkin about.

–If Perez DID get hit by a security guard or a “black guy” that does NOT mean WILL.I.AM did it! SO WRONG! Well at least We know the TRUTH NOW

Well, Tila Tequila claims to have spoken the truth… that’s good enough for me. I mean, I’m still trying to build up my goodwill, so I can have a midget butler, so at this point, The Kidd has to lean a little more towards the opinions of the little people. You understand. But think on the bright side, today you’ve gotten not one, but TWO stories containing Tila Tequila. Woohoo… lucky you. When does my monument go up?

The MuchMusic Video Awards went down in Toronto last night, and The Kidd would report on the winners, but I can’t lend any credibility to an awards ceremony that gives a trophy to Nickelback for anything besides “Band That Sucks The Most.”

However, Lady GaGa did take to the stage to perform, where she proceeded to shoot sparks from her boobs. At least now we can say she is talented at something, because not everyone has the ability to fire pyrotechnics from their nipples like she can. I would say this would be cooler than sharks with laser beams attached to their frickin’ heads, but then I remember that I actually have more practical use for the sharks than I do for Lady GaGa’s breasts.

Let this also be a lesson to those of you out there who may happen to use the restroom after Lady GaGa – please, for your safety, wipe the toilet seat down. After all, if it can spread to her boobage, it can spread to you.

The bizarre incident that took place between Eminem and Sacha Baron Cohen’s character Bruno WAS STAGED!

Yeah, I know, a lot of you already figured this, but I was one of those who doubted that Eminem would actually go along with something like that.

Head writer Scott Aukerman cleared up any confusion on his Tumblr:

“Yes, the Bruno/Eminem incident was staged. That’s all anyone wants to talk about, so let’s get it out of the way. They rehearsed it at dress and yes, it went as far as it did on the live show then. Okay, you can stop reading this blog now!”

Aukerman’s blog also talks about a show opening that MTV ditched at the last second, and dishes on other behind-the-scenes goodies of this year’s MTV Movie Awards.

So there you have it. Eminem asked for those nuts to be laid on his chin.

Kristen Stewart won “Best Female” performance at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards Sunday and had one of “those” moments onstage when she drops the award after her acceptance speech.
