As promised here is the scoop from the
Teen Choice Awards. Although everyone was expecting a run in from former flames
Jessica Simpson and
Nick Lachey, there was no such awkward momments. During the ceremony, Simpson shared the stage with co-host (and rumored former love interest
Dane Cook) while Nick Lachey, who was nominated for several awards, sat in the front row. Both Simpson and Lachey were nominated for choice hotties and could have had to appear onstage together, but neither won in that category. Instead,
Jessica Alba and
Orlando Bloom took home those awards.
Before the ceremony, Simpson and Lachey managed to steer clear of each other on the red carpet, as well. Simpson, who made her appearance around 4:15 p.m., trotted around with her mom Tina and hairstylist Ken Paves, who shouted "
We Love You Jessica" behind her on the carpet. Lachey, with only his publicist in tow, did not appear on the carpet until 45 minutes later, just minutes before the live broadcast began.
Lachey also missed the first portion of the show, during which Simpson and Cook joked about their rumored romance. Cook then asked Jessica if there were anyone in the audience who could serve as her background reference. The camera flashed to an empty seat in the VIP area, one that, presumably, was intended to be filled by Lachey. Once in the audience, Lachey sat front and center, next to Jessica Alba and her boyfriend Cash Warren, where he remained until he was presented with the choice song award for his single, "
What's Left of Me." During his acceptance, a clip from his music video ran, showing girlfriend
Vanessa Minillo. Onstage Lachey joked, "
I just want to start about by saying ... awkward? A little bit." (Later Simpson won for choice breakout female star.)
The highlight of the night was seeing a pregnant
Britney Spears (who was chewing her gum obnoxiously) introduce her hubby
Kevin Federline who closed the night with his song, "
Lose Control.". What did you guys think about K-Feds performance, was it HOT or NOT?
