It was the best of both worlds at Saturday’s Kids’ Choice Awards for Miley Cyrus, who took home trophies for favorite female singer and TV actress and rocked the show with a spirited performance of her hit song, “GNO — Girls Night Out.”
It was also a slime spectacle for the Nickelodeon children’s television network, which broadcast the 21st annual show live from UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion in front of 10,000 screaming fans, almost all of them teens and preteens.
Akon crashed a dune buggy into giant containers of Nickelodeon’s trademark green slime, Usher blasted a sumo wrestler several yards with slime fired from a cannon and supermodel Heidi Klum, attached to a bungee cord and wearing a specially equipped “butt spike belt,” flung herself into a wall covered with slime-filled balloons.
