Teens Choose Justin, Miley, Gossip
OMFG. Consider the Gossip Girl word sufficiently spread.
The CW hit received a leading—and whopping—14 nominations this morning for the Teen Choice 2008 Awards.
Chris Brown checked in with nine nods, Miley Cyrus (who will host the ceremony) scored four nods, and perpetual nominee Justin Timberlake racked up three.
Timberlake is the awards' winningest artist, having aggregated 21 surfboards—the event's laid-back hardware of choice—since 1999.
Beat Ben @ the Box Office: Can Speed Racer Go?
One problem: The younger kids that the film's geared toward aren't too familiar the stars (Emile Hirsch, Christina Ricci, John Goodman) or the '60s anime series. Beyond that, Racer has to deal with Iron Man's second weekend. Even if Robert Downey Jr.'s red-hot hero flick falls off 50 percent (which would be huge), it'd still make $50 million.
So look for Speed to clock in at No. 2 this weekend with $41 million.
