This year’s Teen Choice Awards show was the 10th annual. And the worst so far. Miley Cyrus hosted and you know how much I don’t like her. And many of the winners didn’t deserve the honor.
Here’s some of the winners in the movie categories…and my reaction.
Summer Movie Action/Adventure: “Hancock” (Bad)
Summer Comedy: “Get Smart” (Good)
Breakout Male Actor: Drake Bell (Terrible)
Breakout Female Actor: Ellen Page (O.K.)
Romantic Comedy: “What Happens in Vegas” (Trash. No teens should have seen it)
Horror/Thriller: “I Am Legend” (Not bad)
Drama: “StepUp2” (This selection gives all teen movie goers a bad name)
Action/Adventure: “The Chronicles of Narnia 2” (Over “Iron Man”? You’ve got to be kidding!)

Lights Camera Jackson has been co-starring in photographs with his favorite celebrities since he was 6 years old. “American Idol” host Ryan Seacrest appeared in the first. Seacrest was a VIP guest at a local telethon. Jackson, a big fan of “Idol”, approached Seacrest during a break and asked for an autograph. The “Idol” star eagerly obliged. Jackson and Ryan then posed for this photo.
