Despite the fact that Hills alum Whitney Port scored her own reality TV spin-off, The City, the NYC paparazzi are still unsure as to who exactly this girl is. Behold the WireImage description of Whit at Us Weekly's Hot Hollywood party, who is identified as "Guest," while her lesser known co-star, Olivia Palermo, was easily named. This can not bode well for the budding fashionista, especially during a time when both Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt can be picked out of a crowd by most Americans.
Other stars deemed "hot" by the tabloid included the High School Musical kiddos, a few Gossip Girls (and boys), America's Next Top Tranny Model Jaslene, some Ugly Bettys and Patti LaBelle. Sounds a little lukewarm to us.

Meet Bo Burnham, YouTube sensation (not of the Chris Crocker variety) and the latest member of the Judd Apatow family. This kid just turned 18 and he's already been tapped to write the music for — and star in — a new Apatow comedy that is being billed as "the anti-High School Musical." Sounds awesome already.
We did a little research, and it turns out dear Bo is no stranger to music: He has been writing songs for the past couple of years and performing them in his bedroom for a camera resting on a stack of books. Upon viewing some of these videos, we have officially fallen in love: He's crude and absurd, but he's charming in that "I went to an all-boys Catholic school and am therefore perfectly harmless" kind of way.

When Miley Cyrus was chosen to host the Teen Choice Awards, which was filmed last night and will air tonight, we're unsure whether or not the producers expected her to hog the spotlight as much as she obviously did. Judging from the pictures, she treated the entire awards show like one of her infamous YouTube videos, including her BFF Mandy in most of her bits and ruining a perfectly good LL Cool J performance.
In other news, Dwight graced the show with his presence, Mariah continued to use a glitter microphone, Arcuhleta's dad still won't go away — and when did Chace Crawford become so good-looking?

So last night was the ESPY Awards, and you're looking at the best part of the evening: The Giants won for "Best Upset." Speaking of upset, we're a little concerned that there were more celebrities than athletes in attendance. Sure, you need some famous people to attract attention to the event, but when Trista Sutter is posing on the red carpet next to Terrell Owens, you know things have gotten out of control.

The assault on my childhood continues! First, twas the Smurfs, then Fraggle Rock, now those Hollywood bastards are planning a remake of The Monster Squad, one of the greatest B-movies to skateboard out of the 80s.
…Rob Cohen, director of Universal's upcoming The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor … revealed some interesting news about Fred Dekker's classic '87 movie. Cohen [says] that Paramount Pictures has acquired the remake rights to Monster Squad, which followed a group of kids hunting down Dracula and his minions who are attempting to take over the world. Cohen also reveals that he is planning to produce the remake, but does not intend on directing.
I swear to God, if Zac Efron gets his hair product anywhere near this freakin' probable abomination, I will write a very discourteous letter to whomever is in charge.

Now that the sole question driving Hollywood "creativity" is what do the people (and their money) want, and now that the answer to that question is video games, what's your bet on what will be the next video game to hit the big screen?
We say a live-action version of our childhood obsession, The Legend of Zelda, can't be too far off in the distance, because people love both seeing monsters and seeing monsters killed—Orlando Bloom would make a fine Link. And how about giving Mike Tyson's career a boost with Punch-Out: The Movie? Jude Law could be Glass Joe and Zac Efron could be the Little Mac! Somebody get me in contact with Uwe Boll.
The MTV Movie Awards were held last night, and I admittedly couldn't bring myself to sit through the hours-long crapfest. Just by looking at the pictures (after the jump), it's obvious I didn't miss much.
Anyone care to share exciting stories from the show (if you decided to punish yourself last night)? CONTINUED »
Disney star Vanessa Hudgens is slutting it up for attention again — this time with a sex tape. Vanessa, hon, we understand how it must feel to be used as Zac Efron's beard, but you're turning men around the world into pedophiles. It's weird.
Sources say the 45 second video was taken on a cell phone. Hudgens is shown sitting under a Christmas tree wearing only a red Santa hat and red thong decorated with mistletoe.
'I want Santa to come up my chimney because I’ve been a good little girl this year,' Hudgens says.
Leave it to those Disney kids to keep up with the latest sex tape trends. Who knew you could even film that on a cell phone? We're still trying to figure out the logistics; maybe those young whippersnappers can also teach us how to program that damn DVR while they're at it.

Here is some behind the scenes footage Details magazine shot of High School Musical darling and their upcoming cover boy Zac Efron. Listen for him to twice use the adjective "classy" (which frequently says more about the user than the thing described) and then circuitously answer Leonardo DiCaprio to the question "Who was your first celebrity crush?"
They're so cute when they're this intent on seeming masculine!

Like our gay uncle at Queerty, we really like Javier Bardem. Queerty likes him because he looks "scrumptious," but we like him because he's everything Zac Efron and Ryan Seacrest are not, and he reminds us that for every yin, there's a man.
The 2007 Teen Choice Awards aired last evening on Fox, and for some odd reason, Larry Birkhead was invited. (Choice Litigious Ex-Lover of a Late Junkie?) As usual, this annual recognition of mediocrity stood as a rock solid reminder of why teenagers aren't allowed to make very important decisions.
Winners and photos after the jump.

While BWE was quick to point out that photo shoots in front of groupings of phallic cacti wasn't the best way for Zac Efron to avoid gay rumors, allow Mollygood to present Exhibit B: Efron holding girlfriend Nikki Blonsky like she were a short stack of horse manure. After the jump, fake kissing!
PS Kabbalah is a trick wrapped in a trick.
