Miley Cyrus is Kids Choice front-runner

Associated Press

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…)
