LOS ANGELES - It was shaping up as the best of both worlds for pop culture phenomenon Miley Cyrus, who came into Saturday night’s 21st annual Kids Choice Awards with nominations for favorite singer and favorite actress.

Cyrus, whose television series “Hannah Montana” was also nominated for favorite show, was scheduled to perform at the awards program, singing “Girl’s Night Out” from her hit album “Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus.”

Also scheduled to take the stage was the Naked Brothers Band.

“I’m curious to see Miley Cyrus perform. She’s such a phenomenon and I’ve never seen her live so I’d kind of like to see what all the hype is about,” said Quddus Philippe, a former host of MTV’s “Total Request Live,” who was among the celebrities scheduled to walk the show’s orange carpet.

Cyrus won last year’s favorite TV star award but Beyonce captured the favorite singer trophy. The two were nominated again this year, along with Fergie and Alicia Keys. (more…)

NEW YORK - Madonna wants the media to leave Britney Spears alone. “They need to step off,” she told the “Yo on E!” satellite radio show. “For real … Let’s go save her.”

Madonna, 49, said her daughter, Lourdes, 11, feels the same way.

“She knows Britney, (but) she doesn’t really watch TV or read gossip stuff,” the pop star said in the interview. “I think she sort of gets the drift of what’s going on, and I think she feels very protective of Britney.”

Madonna and husband Guy Ritchie have a son, Rocco, 7, and are raising a Malawian boy they want to adopt.

“He’s the life of the party,” she said of David, who she brought home from Africa in 2006. “He loves music, he’s an amazing dancer. … He’s a character.”

She said caring for David is no different from her raising her biological children: “I thought it was gonna be, but it feels the same to tell you the truth.” (more…)

HOUSTON (Reuters) - Grammy-winning Tejano music star Emilio Navaira’s chances of survival are improving, his doctor said on Wednesday, following a crash this week in which he was thrown through the windshield of his tour bus.

“I feel optimistic that he will not die,” Dr. Alex Valadka said at a news conference. “He’s done about as well as can be expected.”

Navaira, 45, had been in grave condition following Sunday’s early morning crash, and Valadka had said there was “a chance he may not make it.” The neurosurgeon cautioned on Wednesday that something adverse might still happen to Navaira.

“He can still take a turn for the worse,” he said.

Valadka led a team of surgeons who removed a hand-sized portion of Navaira’s skull on Tuesday to reduce pressure from a bruise forming on the left side of the singer’s brain.

The operation was the second surgery to relieve pressure on the brain after the bus Navaira was driving crashed into a concrete highway barrier in the Houston suburb of Bellaire, Texas.

Navaira remained unconscious in critical condition at Memorial Hermann hospital. He is expected to stay in the intensive care unit for up to two weeks. (more…)

NEW YORK - Britney the Trainwreck showed how she can still be Britney the Performer. Britney Spears made her much-hyped guest appearance Monday night’s “How I Met Your Mother,” submersing her tumultuous personal life and portraying a sweet-natured receptionist, Abby, with a crush on unlucky-in-love Ted (Josh Radnor).

Problem is: Ted only has eyes for Abby’s boss Stella (Sarah Chalke), a dermatologist. Ted’s goal: to win a date by his 10th session with Stella. Nothing’s working.

Finally, he figures: “The receptionist — that’s my way in.”

So he brings Abby coffee in a bid to impress Stella, but it charms Abby even more. During one visit, Abby trails him and Stella into an office to deliver a book — a self-help tome called “The Power of Me” — that he left behind in the waiting room.

The 26-year-old pop star, who previously was on a 2006 episode of “Will and Grace,” appeared fresh-faced and relaxed, capably filling the small role. She was also the host and musical guest on “Saturday Night Live” in 2000. (more…)
