•  Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony are trying to keep it together and work through their issues, which are vast and listed here.

The stars in the Big Picture gallery are so bright, Amy Poehler has to squint.

It wouldn't be an awards show if a winner didn't cry.

While the 22nd Annual Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards had few of the same ingredients of an Oscars or Grammys telecast, Miley Cyrus made sure the tradition stayed alive.

After shouldering losses for everything else with her name attached—Selena Gomez took the slimefest's Favorite TV Actress gong and iCarly swiped Favorite TV Show out from underneath Hannah Montana—the starlet scored a win for Favorite Female Singer. Despite having taken home the orange Blimp in the same category last year, she got surprisingly choked up.

"I really thought I was going to lose, so thank you, guys," she wept.

Those High School Musical kids—Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale and Corbin Bleu, to be precise—were considerably more cheerful. The graduating class of East High took home one of the event's highest honors, Favorite Movie, beating out the likes of Iron Man and The Dark Knight. High School Musical 3: Senior Year's prom queen, Hudgens, also took home Favorite Female Movie Star.

Sadly, the Wildcats, as well as the "Climb" singer, managed to walk away from the Pauley Pavilion on UCLA's campus completely slime-free. Many others were not so lucky...

•  The dance-off on Late Night last night between Jimmy Fallon and Cameron Diaz was really cute. The actress' parachutey jumpsuit thing, however, was not.

•  Which came first, Madonna or the Housewife? Rumor has it Real Housewives of NYC's Bethenny Frankel bedded A-Rod three months ago.

•  Forget Miley Cyrus & Lauren Conrad! James Franco has a book that might actually have some literary merit.

•  There's been all kinds of nonsense going around about Amy Winehouse and Blake Fielder-Civil in the last few days, but this one is worth sharing. Supposedly, the star's fresh-out-of-jail and soon-to-be ex-hubby has a new 16-year-old girlfriend.

•  The Suite Life with Zack and Cody's Dylan and Cole Sprouse made a commercial about eating without utensils.

•  Katy Perry wants to be in the Little Miss Perfect pageant.

•  Dear Beat Freaks and Quest Crew: Thanks for giving mind-blowing performances every week on MTV's America's Best Dance Crew this season. May the best group win tonight. Love, Rise 'n' Shine

Who doesn't love a little PDA in the Big Picture gallery?!

I'm told Oprah Winfrey hit On3 Productions' AEG Ehrlich Presenters Lounge at the Nokia Theatre yesterday and walked away with LeSportsac's Stella McCartney bowling bag in purple-gray.

Ms. O was also really digging the TrueJeans.com booth, where she was shown how she could find the perfect jean for herself. In short, enter your measurements, body type, style preferences and TrueJeans will sift through its database of designer jeans and bingo, your perfect jean is found.

No, Winfrey did not reveal her measurements. She can do that in the privacy of one of her many homes.

Winfrey did make sure to pay it back at the Bertolli Oven Bake Meals booth. She signed one of its red dishes that will be auctioned off next month for the charity Share Our Strength.

Kathy Griffin also autographed a dish. The D-List star, according to a fellow loungegoer, cracked, "Mine will go for $3 and Oprah's will get $14 million."

While Bill Maher gets a childlike delight in exposing right-wing agendas, don't expect him to procreate anytime soon.

Maher tried his hand at Emmy swagging this weekend, stopping by the Kari Feinstein Style Lounge in Beverly Hills. When men's clothing vendor ACDG offered the comic a charity T-shirt supporting a cause called Kids Among Stars, Maher glanced down at the piles of free goods in his hands, looked up and scoffed, "I hate kids."

No matter, as Seth Rogen is a big enough kid for all of us. Ladies chatting at the Reebok booth, visited by the likes of Balthazar Getty and Kristen Bell, had a dirty little tidbit about the Superbad scribe.

The sports line offers a customizable shoe called CustomRBK, wherein any star (or lowly pedestrian with cash or charge) can have a word up to nine characters stitched onto the back of their shoe. Rogen, apparently, broke the bank in expletives he tried to get past the sneaker censors.

"They kept returning his requested words, because they violated Reebok's service agreement," a source said. "He finally got away with EATPOO."

Awww. And who says you cant always get what you want?

The Emmy gifting suites are now open, so let the swaggin' begin! How I Met Your Mother favorite son Neil Patrick Harris was one of the first to take a walk through the GBK Productions freebie lounge at the Mondrian Hotel in West Hollywood.

So wait, does Mr. Harris do his own housecleaning? He stopped to look and ask questions about the Eureka Enviro vacuums.

Harris was also looking out for his boyfriend, actor David Burtka, who he said would was interested in the Lasik eye surgery from the Laser Eye Center.

Who else stopped by? Well...

One perk of being a star on a hot, new show? Getting to hit the Emmy-week gift suites. 90210's Adam Gregory made the Platinum Publicity Lounge his first stop on the swag-suite rounds.

"Everybody's really nice," he said when asked about rumors that onscreen love interest Shenae Grimes is difficult on set. "I have never had a problem with anyone."

And how about the latest Us Weekly cover, with Shenae and Jessica Stroup on it, claiming that they're "too thin for TV"? The mag also reports that their male costars are staging an intervention for the skinny starlets.

But Adam claims there is no intervention going down.

Now, his favorite freebie at the swag suite? An iPod. Stars also scored Local Celebrity tees, jeans from the Proportion of Blu and spray tans and waxing from Makeup Mandy.

Welcome back, Eva Mendes?

The recently rehabbed beauty has popped up in Hollywood for Oscars weekend. First, she was spotted at CAA honcho Bryan Lourde's pre-Oscars bash on Friday night. (I'll have more about Lourde's shindig later today.)

And then on Saturday, Ms. Mendes hit the Film Independent's Spirit Awards. She was onstage as a presenter and even made a quick trip to Elle magazine and Biolage's backstage lounge, followed by some swagging in the On 3 Productions gifting tent.

I’m told Mendes picked up a new white AT&T Palm Centro Smartphone and an organic cotton T-shirt from C&C California Apparel emblazoned with "Go Paperless."

"She was surrounded by a crowd of people, so no one could really talk to her," an onlooker reports. "She stopped by a few booths, went halfway through the tent and then snuck out the side." No surprise, but she declined to take photos at Elle or On 3.

No word yet from Mendes' rep if she's planning to return to rehab or if she's completed her treatment.

Meanwhile, Allison Janney was mortified when she realized she was picking up swag as her Juno costar Ellen Page was winning Best Female Lead. "I can't believe I wasn't in there!" she said as she watched Page give her acceptance speech via a television monitor. "I feel so ashamed that I’m here getting free stuff."

Talk about a hairy situation.

Yesterday—just 48 hours before the Oscars—and Amy Adams’s hairstylist Mark Townsend still didn’t know what the starlet was going to be wearing on the big night. Adam’s not only a presenter, but she’ll also be singing “Happy Working Song,” one of the three songs nominated from Enchanted. In other words, Townsend is responsible for two looks for the redheaded beauty!

“This is the first time that it was two days before the Oscars and I haven’t seen the dresses,” Townsend said yesterday at Elle magazine and Biolage’s Salon and Spa beauty suite at the Thompson Beverly Hills hotel. “But I actually did get some beautiful diamond pieces. I have some things I am very inspired by. It’s going to be a really glamorous night so I want diamonds in her hair and a nice 1940s wave.”

Music superstars are gearing up for this Sunday's Grammys like any other awards show—by hitting up the swag suites.

Three-time Grammy winner Will.I.Am checks out the Grammy Style Studio at Smashbox Studios, where he can play Rock Band against fans on XBOX Live. We love a good game of Rock Band, but there's something really intimidating about playing against actual musicians.

Then again, he doesn't have the rest of his Peas to back him up, so maybe we could take him?
