Music is the heart of who I am, and it's the most personal thing that I do." But adds, "I'm never going to be a woman who doesn't work.

<![CDATA[Some Fashions At The Kids' Choice Awards Were Surprisingly Childish]]> Saturday night brought one of the events that, in my youth, I anticipated as anxiously as the winter holidays: The Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards. Lots of celebs! Lots of slime! Jack Black hosted the frenetically-paced activities and lots of celebrities brought the pretty. See: America Ferrera, left. Does she ever look bad? I also like how she played the pretty dress all casual with the wooden wedges, but that's neither here nor there. Also in attendance: Abigail Breslin, Cameron Diaz, Jordin Sparks, Jodie Foster, Amy Poehler, Ashlee Simpson, Hayden Panettiere, Rihanna and Miley Cyrus, who is looking less like a tween of late and more and more like a 50-something who's spent too much time in the tanning booth. Miley, and the other Good, Bad and Ugly, after the jump.

The Good: abigailbreslinkidschoice033.jpgYay for Abigail Breslin: She looks age appropriate and looks like she dressed herself. In other words, nothing really matches, but I'm totally down with it. camerondiazkidschoice0330.jpgCameron Diaz might be sporting a silly Samantha Jones haircut, but her dress is, like, cute. jordinsparkskidschoice0330.jpgAw, Jordin Sparks turned Chloe orange into Nickelodeon orange!

The Bad: amypoehler0330.jpgOh Amy Poehler, the contrived irony is killing me. ashleysimpsonkidschoice0330.jpgAshlee Simpson wins herself a "bad" award for appearing totally unrecognizable. (And wearing Chanel accessories.) haydenkidschoice0330.jpgI'm convinced that Hayden Panettiere owns 12 of the exact same dress in different colors. Sadly, none of them are tailored quite right. jodiefosterkidschoice0330.jpgGo ahead and hate on me: I just prefer Jodie Foster looking a little more polished. And not in a bootcut jean.

The Ugly: mileykidschoice0330.jpgMiley Cyrus? Or one of the Real Housewives? rihannakidschoice0330.jpgRihanna had her fucking legs insured: Why must she hide them in such unflattering pants?!

<![CDATA[Midweek Madness: Miscellany — Rachel Ray Hates Sequins, Ashlee Simpson Eats Bread, Marilyn Manson And Evan Rachel Wood Probably Wouldn't Have Dated In High School]]> Between the hard-hitting investigative journalism, humanity-revealing candid shots and gimlet-eyed fashion criticism (i.e. "Hilary puts the Swank in swanky!") that are the bread-and butter of the celeb weeklies, there are always dozens of pages of miscellaneous, evergreen filler that we occasionally read and think, "Someone actually had to write this." [Yes, and one of us here has, thank you very much! -Ed] These stories are to the weeklies what wheat germ and lips 'n assholes unspeakable body parts are to white-meat McNuggets, and in a slow news week like this one, it's where the difference between a $3.49 and $1.99 cover price really shows. After the jump, we assess the quality of this week's celebrity throwaways.

  • Star's juiciest filler feature is about Rachael Ray's crusade against studio audience members who dress tackily. On-set, she bans prints, velour pantsuits, sweats, T-shirts, sequins, capri pants, ripped jeans, and tank tops. This is the best kind of filler: While clearly based on a single horrified email sent by a sequined, denim capri-pant-wearing reader from Tuscaloosa, the weirdness of the story makes it seem juicy. Grade: B+
  • In a more prototypical filler feature, Star runs a four-page guide to picking up celebs which "stars" Steve-O and Lost actress (wait, someone gave this ho an actual job? On an actual network television show?) Bai Ling divulging the top 5 pickup lines that worked on/for them, respectively. Bai: "Are you gay?" Steve-O: "Can I tempt you with this joint?" Grade: C
  • InTouch gets the prize for most dubious filler content for the two pages it runs this week suggesting the contestants of this season's American Idol are actually hybrids of two previously-established celebrities, with Sanjaya being the cross of drunk churchgoer Paula Abdul and Harold & Kumar Kumar Kal Penn. Grade: D
  • US fills two spreads, starting on page 66, by resurrecting celeb yearbook photos you've seen on 1,000 reruns of E! True Hollywood Story and using them to pose the question "Would They Have Dated In High School?" to Mo Rocca. This type of filler is a favorite of writers, obviously, because they get to e-mail Mo Rocca, and we enjoy being reminded that some celebrities are older than 23, and some even existed in the era of overteased-hair. Grade: C
  • Life & Style, a magazine not long ago almost wholly comprised of filler, runs a story (page 72) on celebrities and hypnotherapy, detailing how Fergie, Martha Stewart, Drew Barrymore and Debra Messing all used hypnotherapy to conquer addictions and fears (Debra was afraid of being underwater!) Another page is devoted to fun facts like about how the average woman spends 385 hours a year shopping, which we think sounds low, since we spend at least that much time per year standing in checkout lines trying not to buy these fucking magazines. Grade: D.
  • Finally, US devotes an entire page (70, for those of you following along!) to asking Ashlee Simpson how she manages to stay thin (Ashlee says if she wants bread, she doesn't eat a whole loaf... just a few slices!). We also learn that Ashlee wants to collaborate with The Cure. Grade: A+

<![CDATA[We shouldn't laugh. But we will. Long and hard.]]> Why is it so delicious to watch either of the Simpson girls display their lack of class, talent and professionalism? Why do birds sing above? Why do fools fall in love?

Who cares.

View the Simpson double whammy below. And check out Dolly Parton. Do they do facial liposuction? Who knew?
