Here are some observations about the 2009 Teen Choice Awards on FOX – from my (Pop) mommy perspective:
*I would be totally cool if Annabel loved The Jonas Brothers. They are ‘clean cut’ and cute. Oh, AND talented. Okay, fine, I’ll be honest. I like the Jonas Brothers. (Plus, I really love that they always give their mom some major props.)
*I consider myself really hip about pop culture, but I did find myself saying “Who is THAT girl?” or “Who is THAT guy?” A LOT. (I guess because I don’t watch The Disney Channel. Oh, and I’m not a TEEN.)
*I thought it was so funny that Ellen won the TEEN choice award for best twitter. She is 51 years old. I guess she just crosses all the boundaries. Amazing.
*Zac Efron is cute – no denying it. He also seems like a great guy. He won for 17 Againwhich was a really good flick that both me and my hubbie enjoyed. Plus, he definitely gets points for standing by his girlfriend, Vanessa Hudgens, through all the “controversy.”
*It was great to see the teen cast from Glee. I can’t wait for the series premiere next month!
*I LOVE Gossip Girl. It’s just so entertaining. (But I would FREAK OUT if my son or daughter acted like any of those kids on the show.) Ed Westwick (Chuck Bass!) won for best TV villain. He is awesome and it was so weird to hear him talk in his (real life) British accent.
*I really think Miley Cyrus is talented, but her reputation has been ruined a bit from some of her poor choices in the past. It’s really unfortunate. Hopefully she has learned from it all and her teen girl fans have also learned from it too.
*I LOVE that new Black Eyed Peas song “I Got A Feeling.” They rocked it out.
*Britney won an Ultimate Choice award and she looked really happy. She was really short and sweet with her acceptance speech which was good. Hopefully, she’s moving forward on a healthy path.
*Finally, I just put Twilight in my Netflix queue because I can not stand to be ignorant about this movie or the young actors anymore! Twilight won the most Teen Choice awards of the night, so I am officially intrigued and jumping on the bandwagon.
On a final note: There was a commercial that ran about an “Octomom” documentary that airs next Wednesday on FOX. So I have to go and put that one in my TIVO right now…
