It's the Teen Choice Awards!

We seem to be on a teen roll of late what with all the discussion of gay teens in last week's BEST.GAY.WEEK.EVER! column as well as the latest edition of our vlog Two Gay Guys, so I thought I might as well do a pic post form this weekend's "Teen Choice Awards". The upset of the night occurred when PBS beat out MTV for the "All Time Rockingest Network Ever" award. Okay, that didn't happen, but for all I know it could have since I didn't actually tune in. Frankly, anyone over the age of twenty-five who watches strikes me a little dodgy.

Neil Patrick Harris of How I Met Your Mother was up for best actor in a comedy, but, alas, he didn't win. However, Will Ferrell did win for the gay-friendly Talladega Nights. The gay-seeming villain God King from 300 wasn't even up for best villain, so I'm happy about that. All the winners can be found here! Now on to the pics!

Olympic speed skater Apolo Anton Ohno of Dancing With the Stars was up for best male reality star...

but lost to Sanjaya Malakar of American Idol. Yay, Sanjaya!

I've no idea why Ryan Reynolds (The Nine) was there, but I'm glad he was. I think he won for best facial hair.

The out Adam Shankman, director of Hairspray with his lead actress Nikki Blonsky.

That was one of Nikki's final moments on this earth as seconds later John Travolta mistook her for an appetizer at the buffet and devoured her in front of horrified onlookers.

And is anyone the least bit surprised that Zac Efron (High School Musical, Hairspray) took home the Choice Male Hottie award? He also won for Male With Least Threatening Sexuality For Teen Girls award.

TCA 2009

Zac won 3 awards from TCA. And the twilight casts won 11 out of 12 nominations. The internet and gossip rags are alight with Kathy Griffin Levi Johnston photos. The Kathy Griffin Levi Johnston date is a non-incident, but perhaps explanation is warranted. Kathy Griffin took Levi Johnston as her date to the Teen Choice Awards – and he seemed to be appreciative. They aren't dating – they appeared for a few hours in public – and that appears to be it. Griffin is a comedienne of indeterminate skill – read what you will, some don't find her that funny – and Johnston is Bristol Palin's "baby daddy." No word on whether he's found a job yet, since he was laid off. At any rate, I'd give an instant payday loan to make this Kathy Griffin Levi Johnston thing go away.
