Why are Academy Award winners cut off in mid-sentence during their acceptance speeches? It’s probably because they’re as exciting as someone reading who begat whom from the Bible. As dwindling ratings suggest, both the Oscars and the Grammys are boring the pants off of their viewers. Not so the Kids’ Choice Awards, which, in recent years, has bucked the trend of declining ratings for awards shows.
The stars may have used last night’s 2008 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards as a marketing tool, but at least they show up with their guards down and their funniest clown faces on. Maybe children bring out the goofiest in them. Whatever the reason, the juxtapositions below may indicate that stars have more fun at Kids’ Choice than at more serious, staid events.

Who better to comment on Britney’s latest meltdown than the patron saint of bat-sh*t crazy, Courtney Love? See, back in 2004, Courtney was removed quite publicly from her New York apartment handcuffed to a gurney. Sounds like someone we know…”I know the exactitudes of what’s going on, having been there,” Love told Access Hollywood. “Here is what’s gonna happen if she doesn’t get help — something very, very bad is gonna happen,” Love continued, using her keen powers of perception and stating what pretty much everyone knows will happen. Love continued “other then me and Britney, no one else has ever been strapped to a gurney.” We might have to disagree with Court on that front — we can think of plenty of other folks who were strapped to a gurney.
Courtney credits rehab and Orlando Bloom with getting her life on track. The British heartthrob, a dedicated Buddhist, encouraged Love to get spiritual on the road to recovery. “I love Orlando for this,” Love said of his role as spiritual mentor. “He doesn’t mind being outed [as a Buddhist]. See — all Britney needs is a little Orlando Bloom!
