TCA wrap-up

Last night's telecast of the 2008 Teen Choice Awards on FOX was hardly eventful, but four Idol alums made appearances regardless of how disappointing the show itself was. First on deck for the show was Katharine McPhee, who is "rocking her acting chops in The House Bunny" according to host Miley Cyrus, presented the award for "Choice MySpacer" with Jesse McCartney.

Katharine's exchange with Jesse was as cheesy as can be, and the fact that Katharine actually added Jesse into her top friends (and now sitting pretty as the top friend) following the taping made the situation all the more ridiculous. But the two looked like they were having fun, which is all that matters. Katharine was followed by the Davids, as Arch and Cook presented Miley with her award for "Choice Music Female Artist." The two had a poorly written exchange that centered around going by just one stage name ("David," would you believe it or not?).

Following the Davids was Jordin Sparks, who towered over presenting partner Lil' "Big Baby" Mama while presenting the awards for "Choice Male Hottie" and "Choice Female Hottie." Jordin, who brought Africa to the show via her shirt, had to put up with Lil' Mama's loopy cockiness but she definitely pulled it off.

Overall, the Idol alums were probably the highlight of the show, and its not surprising so many got premium appearance slots because the show was broadcast on FOX. Here's to a better show next year. Who knows, maybe Miley will actually kiss Arch.
