Kids Choice Award - Nick Kca
They may have only been up for one award on Saturday night (March 28) at the Kids' Choice Awards, but the night definitely belonged to the Jonas Brothers. A who's who of teen stars were on hand at the 22nd annual awards show, hosted by Dwayne Johnson.
The first award of the night, Favorite TV Show, was handed out by Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson and went to "iCarly." "We wouldn't be up here without you guys," the show's star, Miranda Cosgrove, told the super-excited crowd. Tons of celebs made appearances throughout the night, like Favorite Male Singer winner Jesse McCartney, Will Ferrell, Sandra Bullock and Hugh Jackman, all of whom got slimed, a time-honored KCA tradition.
Although she wasn't there to claim her Blimp, Selena Gomez won Favorite TV Actress for her work on "Wizards of Waverly Place." Keeping the girl power alive were the Pussycat Dolls, who didn't win any Blimps but did perform "When I Grow Up" and their version of the "Slumdog Millionaire" anthem "Jai Ho."
Vanessa Hudgens, Zac Efron, Corbin Bleu and Ashley Tisdale were there to accept the Favorite Movie award for "High School Musical 3: Senior Year." Hudgens also took home a Blimp for Favorite Movie Actress. "A quick shout-out to Lucas [Grabeel] and Monique [Coleman]. We love you guys," Efron said to his missing castmates while accepting the award. "Thank you all for embracing 'HSM.' We love you guys."
It was cute-boy overload as Efron presented the award for Favorite Music Group to the Jonas Brothers. "Thank you guys so much," Joe said, before Nick added, "It's been amazing. We've enjoyed the ride thoroughly." More swooning ensued when "Gossip Girl" heartthrob Chace Crawford announced the JoBros' performance. They rocked the crowd and made girls scream when they performed "S.O.S." and "Burnin' Up."
There was also love for "Twilight," which won for Favorite Book. "This is awesome," Taylor Lautner told the crowd. "Stephenie Meyer wanted to tell you guys 'thank you.' And I can tell you firsthand you guys are gonna love [the 'New Moon' movie]."
Leonardo DiCaprio won the most serious award of the night, taking home the Big Green Help Blimp for inspiring people to be more proactive in saving the environment. And although Miley Cyrus was up for a slew of awards, she only managed to win one for Favorite Female Singer. While hugging her Blimp and fighting back tears, she said, "I really thought I was going to lose."
The night came to an end with Johnson fulfilling his assigned task of finding the right key to make the volcanic slime pyramid explode. What was that key? The Jonas Brothers singing "Lovebug." Other big winners of the night included "American Idol" for Favorite Reality Show, Will Smith for Favorite Movie Actor and past KCA host Jack Black for Favorite Voice in an Animated Movie.

David Letterman and Regina Lasko tie the knot
David Letterman is finally committed once again. Yes he got married once again at age of 61. Late-night TV comic David Letterman has quietly married his longtime girlfriend, telling audience members of his show on Monday that he almost missed the ceremony because his truck was stuck in mud.
Letterman, 61, and Regina Lasko tied the knot during a courthouse ceremony near their Montana ranch last Thursday. The couple, who have been dating since 1986, were accompanied by their 5-year-old son, Harry.I had avoided getting married pretty good for, like, 23 years, and I -- honestly, whether this happened or not -- I secretly felt that men who were married admired me ... like I was the last of the real gunslingers," Letterman said, according to a "Late Show" transcript provided by a spokesman.
But the afternoon ceremony at the Teton County Courthouse in Choteau (pop. 1,700) was delayed by an hour because the family's pickup truck was stuck in mud two miles from their house. Letterman was forced to walk back in a howling gale to get the car.
"So then we get in the car and Harry says, 'Are we still going into town?' and I said, 'Yes, we are,' and he gets very upset because Mom had told him if I wasn't back in an hour, the deal was off."
Letterman's spokesman declined to reveal any details about the ceremony, or to give Lasko's age. Letterman, who was married once before, is intensely private, and is rarely photographed with his family.
The news of his nuptials was first broken by celebrity tabloid US Weekly.

Bill Buchanan on 24
If you are a big fan of the TV series 24 you know him. He is Bill Buchanan, one of the actors of 24 and died. Probably the show won't be the same again but the show must go on. Surely Jack Bauer will still make the show more interesting and more thrilling on each episode.The Story:
As far as deaths on "24" go, Bill Buchanan's on Monday night was fairly quick and painless.
At least it was for actor James Morrison, who has played Jack Bauer's coolheaded boss for the past four years. But longtime fans of the Fox action drama, starring Kiefer Sutherland, still might have been a little shellshocked.
Buchanan goes out on his own terms -- he blows himself up alongside a group of terrorists who have overtaken the White House. The character's death ends a three-season run for the actor, who was supposed to be a one-appearance guest star who soon became the ongoing source of pushback for Jack.
"The moment you step aboard '24' you're taught to expect that you're going to bite it," Morrison, 54, said in an interview Friday. "In this solar system you have one sun. The rest of us are just planets that are invited to orbit, and sometimes we're just yanked out of the sky."
There have been plenty worse ways for good guys on the show to die: Lynn McGill died foaming at the mouth after inhaling nerve gas -- ditto for agent Edgar Stiles. Meanwhile, Michelle Dessler was rubbed out by a car bomb, Counter Terrorist Unit director Ryan Chappelle was unceremoniously executed by Jack himself, and President David Palmer was assassinated.
This season, "24" has spent much time confronting its own controversial theme: Jack's use of torture to extract information from terrorists. The season launched with CTU disbanded and Jack standing trial for his illegal methods. Buchanan had gone underground -- sporting the 5 o'clock shadow and dramatic all-black get-up to prove it -- working with computer whiz Chloe (Mary Lynn Rajskub) to suss out a mole in the FBI.
In last week's episode, Buchanan clashed with Bauer over torturing a compromised government official. Buchanan refused to do it.
"It was nice that Bill [Buchanan] didn't have to become someone else," said Morrison, a certified yoga instructor. "It was more in character to have him say, ambiguously as he did, 'I can't do that. Not only am I not trained to do that, but I can't do that. That's not me.'"
For his final goodbye, cast and crew gathered with cake on the White House set.
"I spent a moment with them basking in their appreciation of what I felt like was sort of a family member leaving the fold," Morrison said. "It was the most familial set I'd been on."
Since he's been assured Bill's staying dead (onetime dead agent Tony Almeida was resurrected this season), Morrison plans to record some of his own music -- "blues, folk stuff," he says -- and finish work on "Showing Up," a documentary he's producing with his wife, Riad Galayini, about the audition process for actors.
He'll also appear in the final two episodes of ABC's "Private Practice." "I can only reveal that I play someone who comes in to shake things up at the clinic," he said.
"It was so great to do something where there's no angst, no intensity," he added. "Where you're just having a conversation with somebody and the safety of the world is not at stake."

A Camera Captures A Forbidden Romance, But Will It Also Expose A Killer?
According to CBS news, There are almost 1,000 women housed at the Estrella Jail in Phoenix, Ariz., but only a few have been charged with as serious a crime as 29-year-old Jodi Arias: first-degree murder for the killing of Travis Alexander.“I’ve been sitting a lot in my cell thinking what a waste," says Jodi Arias. "You know, I did have my whole future ahead of me, a career a marriage and a family. I had everything to lose and nothing to gain if I killed Travis."
When asked if she's afraid, Jodi tells 48 Hours correspondent Maureen Maher, "I go from one end of the spectrum to being very afraid and feeling very hopeless to another end to where a deep sense of peace comes over me and realize that no matter what happens, everything is gonna work out. And it's gonna be OK.”
It’s a remarkably optimistic outlook for someone who may be sentenced to death. “I’ve cried deeply, thousands of tears since his passing," she says. "I loved him and I still love him."
By all appearances, Travis and Jodi were a perfect match.
Chris and Sky Hughes thought their good friend had struck gold when he found Jodi, even thinking, that they'd get married one day.
"One of the questions we asked him, just totally kidding around, you know [was], 'Is she really this nice?'" says Sky. "He's like, 'No, she's really this nice. I've never met anyone nicer.'"
Jodi was just as lucky to find Travis, describing him as “a really big guy… broad-shouldered, green eyes."
Only 29 when he met Jodi, Travis was a larger-than-life character with the world at his feet.
“He’s the T Dog. He refers to himself as the ‘T Dog,’ says Chris. "I mean, he was so unique and so funny and such a very rare character.”
Living just outside of Phoenix in Mesa, Ariz., Travis was single, successful and as a devout Mormon, spiritual as well.
“He's very passionate about his beliefs, very passionate about his business," Chris explains.
It was a good life for a young man; a long way from the life he had as a young boy.
Growing up on the wrong side of the tracks in Riverside, Calif., Travis was one of seven kids being raised by parents addicted to crystal meth.
“Both our parents are pretty poverty stricken and our parents divorced when we were pretty young," Travis' sister, Samantha Alexander, explains.
“At times, I've lived in a tent at a campground with my mom,” adds their brother, Steve Alexander.
The children were rescued by their grandmother Norma, who took them in and introduced them to the Mormon community. It's where Travis found the faith to become the man he always wanted to be.
"He raised himself from a terrible place and became, like, this bright star," says Chris.
Chris Hughes, a fellow Mormon, was so impressed with Travis that he offered him a job. “I liked him, brought him on board. I started to teach him, train him, mentor him."
Chris added Travis to his sales team at Pre-Paid Legal Services Inc., a company that sells legal services insurance to people who can’t afford lawyers. He says Travis was a productive member of the team. "He would do in a month what maybe 10 or 20 or 30 other people would do combined.”
“He loved Pre-Paid Legal because it was gonna allow him to fulfill his dreams, and that was to help people,” says Sky.
Using the story of his own childhood struggles as a motivational tool, Travis quickly climbed the ranks at Pre-Paid Legal, inspiring others to do the same.
“He was such a powerful motivational speaker that, you know, he could move us to tears,” Jodi says.
Travis first noticed Jodi at a PPL sales conference in Las Vegas and wasted no time introducing himself.
"She's an attractive girl, very articulate, very intelligent," says Sky of the two meeting. "And he was excited."
On the surface, it seemed they had little in common. Jodi was raised in the quiet community of Yreka in northern California. She describes her childhood as "almost ideal. I have a big family. We're all very close.”
But they found a strong connection in their drive to succeed. Jodi was just starting to build her own career as a photographer.
“We both had a desire to really do amazing things in our lives,” she explains.
In no time, Jodi began to make Travis' world her own. “He gave me a copy of the 'Book of Mormon' and challenged me to read it," she says.
She was moved by the words she read and decided to join Travis, converting to the Mormon faith. "This is the path I need to choose. This is the way I need to go and live my life,” she recalls.
Jodi says she and Travis began to date officially on Feb. 2, 2007.
"He had grown to mean very much to me…You know we grew closer and closer and it was a natural progression. It was a serious relationship.”
But this couple had a big obstacle to overcome: 400 miles of open road.
Travis lived in Mesa, Ariz., while Jodi was a five-hour drive away in Palm Desert, Calif. Luckily, they found a convenient weekend getaway in between at the home of Chris and Sky Hughes.
“Whenever he came in town, he would stay at our house," says Sky. "They would hang out. And we'd all go out to dinner and stuff.”
At first, everything was great. But as Sky began to spend more time with Jodi and Travis together, she realized that Jodi might be coming on too strong and too quick.
Sky says, "She was glued to him. If he moved [or] shifted, she shifted." Chris describes Jodi's expressions of affection in front of them as "a bit inappropriate."
“Like, sucking on his ear, kissing his neck…" adds Sky. “Travis was not as into her as she was into him, and so she would come to me with her concerns."
But the more questions Jodi had about Travis, the more questions Sky Hughes began to have about Jodi.
"Sky said, 'I'm really uncomfortable with Jodi," says Chris. "Something's not right."

Showbiz news - Jennifer Aniston's Pregnancy
Jennifer Aniston has never been shy about her desire to become a mom. "I really love children," the star, who turned 40 on Feb. 11, recently said. "Of course I'd like to be a mother someday." Someday could turn out to be very soon. Jen, who's happily with her on-again beau of nearly a year, John Mayer, 31, seems serious about getting her body into baby-bearing mode. In order to do that, Life & Style has learned, she's been frequently visiting Dr. Mary C. Kerr, the ob-gyn to the stars, who's based in Beverly Hills. "She's been seeing Dr. Kerr," confirms an insider. "She's seen her in the past, when she and Brad Pitt were together and there was talk of them trying to have a baby."
In fact, Dr. Kerr and her hubby, Wyck Godfrey (Twilight producer and the producer of Jen's upcoming movie Management), attended Jen's Feb. 7 birthday party -- where Jen seemed to follow the doc's advice of kicking back and relaxing. "I think Jen got the same advice that most Hollywood women on the skinny side get," says the insider. "Beef up, relax and give it your best."'
