The cast of "The Secret Life of the American Teenager", appear backstage with the Choice Summer TV Show award during the 2008 Teen Choice Awards at Universal Studios in Los Angeles on August 3, 2008.
I'm probably not giving away any surprises by letting you know that the Teen Choice Awards are airing on August 9th - right? Now in its 11th year, this mega-extravaganza will hit the Hi-Def screens across the world, and some of life's biggest questions will be answered:
Will Katy Perry possibly say or do something controversial?
Will thousands of teenage girls scream at jet engine level decibels for the guys from Glee?
Will Zac Effron take home the 'Celebrity Smile' award (presented by Invisalign Teen!)?
And of course the burning dilemma for me is-
How could Taylor Lautner be nominated for 'The Red Carpet Fashion Icon Male' when he NEVER EVEN WEARS A SHIRT??? Shouldn't it be like the 'Bare Chested Yet Sometimes Furry Fashion Icon Male' award?
Then there will be Cyrus and Spears and Cosgroves (oh my!) as the performances and presentations weave together one massive show based on millions of votes for dozens of categories. - (like,um, The Fab-u-lous award...really?)
And as always...RPatz will have his character down cold.
I must say that I'm a bit jealous. Why when I was a teen, we had about 1/1000th of the choices you now face each and every day. Think about your options my friend. Between the 'net, iphone and ipod apps, cable/satellite packages with 239,672 channels, and multi-plex theaters with more flicks than you could get through in a year, you are truly the Teen Choice generation.
But as someone who is out of the hormone-driven, angst-fueled roller coaster ride of adolescence, please allow me to offer a bit of advice about choices:
Listen to the counsel of the biggest rock star who ever lived - a King who lived thousands of years ago, but he still ranks as one of the richest, most famous, most accomplished monster party animal of all time.
His name is King Solomon, and if there were a Teen Choice award back in his day, he would have cleaned house every year. God made him the wisest young person to ever live, but he decided instead to go on a decade long 'make whatever choice I want' binge that left him destitute and empty enough to write down his journey so we wouldn't make the same mistake. Hear the words from the grave of a man who had it all, but lost everything because of bad choices:
