>performance of her mega-hit, 'Get The Party Started,'
Why is that song the official anthem of music awards shows all of a sudden? I
know Nick has played Pink's video before, but I wouldn't think she would want
to be on Nickelodeon...
>Among those scheduled to appear are Matt Damon
!!!
>Beyonce
Poor the rest of Destiny's Child...
>The Rock
Didn't Nick get in trouble with the PTC over inviting wrestlers?
>Jennifer Love Hewitt
Because her career is all fine and dandy.
>Hilary Duff
>Amanda Bynes
...DEATHMATCH!!!

It'll be so tragic if he were to be killed on children's television. I'm sure
he practiced this hundreds of times and Nick's got paramedics on board, tho.

Lemme guess. Jessica Alba, Jennifer Garner, Sarah Michelle Gellar,
and...whoever else kicks butt.

There was a time when you could tell who the winners would be by
looking at the list of presenters, as the losers didn't bother to show
up (and this isn't like the Oscars or Emmys - the winners know in
advance). However, this year, as an example, the only "Favorite
Television Actress" NOT scheduled to be there is Jennifer Aniston.

Don Del Grande, del_g...@netvista.net
And there must be a mistake...it lists Alexa Vega by name rather than
referring to her as just "one of the Spy Kids"; I suppose next they'll
be including an actual "non-celebtiry" voiceover performer

My guess? Duff will present, either Bynes or Hart will win, the other
will either be slimed or receive a surprise award of some design.
Hart deserves the Hall of Fame by now, I'd wager.
